Cotitinuhig in the ca-:J•.ts.n of 1.'1C1115.11 -
agement at Grand Mend Parks, on the
parts of the Townshlp1 of S'cpiu•n and
13osan.luet and of the owners, the Strat-
ford Herald says In part ;-"That there
was justification for the critictent offer-
ed In the lierald was shown by its re-
production by the Seaforth Expositor
and the Exeter Times and Advoeatc,
with commendatory words by the Ex-
positor and Advocate. None of these
papers. we suppose, any more than the
,Herald, L9 unfriendly to Grand Bend,
rather the reverse. The possibilities of
the Bend and section thereabouts, for a
watering place for Western Ontario, are
equalled by few other places. Nature
has done much, with fine groves lining
the lake shore and safe beaches front-
ing the coast as a rule. If man but
does his part, the value of the Bend and
vicinity as a recuperating point fur
tired Ontarians cannot he over estit:tat-
ed. Hence the subject is a wide one,
not a more little local issue. It is of
interest to a broad section of \Vester:t
Ontario and the public at large have
a right to demand of sten who claim
to conduct a aumnler resort, that they
Should render the public satisfactory
service.
At present electric rallwaye aro pro-
jected to run to Grand Bend, one from
Stratford, and another from London.
The advent of railways should be pre-
ceded by aphis evidence of lila and en-
terprtse on the part of the three or
tour men who own the holiday ares of
Grand Bend and are levying rents there
from, without expending anything for
Improvement and repair Either they
should keep their property up to a suit-
able standard, or they e'.tould aell Out
to those who will.
At all events the result of (he pres-
ent po'1cy is seer', in the decline hi 11001 -
her of visitors, who are said to be leen
thla year than last, and last year than
the year previous. It is to the remedy-
ing of conditions wlt'ch produce these
unfortunate results tnat Tile Herald's
well -mean' exposures are directed. As
we have already remarked, Stratford,
ptitc hell, St. Mary., Exeter, London and
many other places are interested in
having a convenient and well-conducted
watering -place, and Grand Bend would
fill the bill admiraoly if the proprn.t-
ors would but stir themselves and wake
up to their opportunity.

ETL1t.\N RAIL\\ Al MAN DEAD
One after another the veterans of On-
tario railroad hien are departing this
life, leaving only tec lustre of their un-
taranishcd n:,ones and tare example of
their public and private lives for the
guidance and emulation of the younger
generation. In the general opinion few
among the many, who have been laid
to reit, have gone with a better record
to their credit and will be more widely
lamented than the late Charles Knigiht,
wi•ose sudden demise, which took place
Sunday. August 24th, has stocked the
town this week. Notwithstanding a re-
markable robust constitution the deceas-
ed has not enjoyed t'te beet of health
during the past year or so, havtn.r on
the 23rd of October last year suffered
a severe stroee of paralysis, which at
that time nearly resulted 111 his death.
Ile, however, partly survived the shock,
and has for the past few months en-
JeYed '-- good health. tl rho
morning of his death he arose at the
usual hour, dressed himself, had break-
fast, and as was his ueual custom, took
a walk through the garden. On return-
ing to the house about 8.30 he sat down
in a chair to read, when suddenly and
without a moment's warning the old
enemy returned, this time with unmis-
takable force. and at 12.55 the vital
cord was snapped.
Mr. Knight was a native of England,
having been born at Devizes, Wiltshire,
in the year 1831. At 25 years of age
he was married to Miss Caroline WI!-
sher and immediately the happy couple
embarked for Ounada, first settling in
London. Early in life the deceased
took up ra"•oading, starting in the ser-
vice of t:.e Greet Western Company In
England, ail oil arriving In Canada con-
tinued with the same company, which
later wax taken over by the Grand Trunk
As a ra'h•oad man Mr. Knight's career
was a busy and eventful one, and hie
Ilse affod.i a Balking example which in-
variably attends devotion to duty. 1118
excellent qualtfl»ttlona and abilities sin-
gled hint out as a man above the or-
dinary and deservedly he was moved
along the line of promotion until he
had filled many prominent positions.
He waa agent for twelve years at Lon-
don, five years at St. Thomas, and 22
years at Exeter. He came here in 1878
and retired In 1000, atter 44 years in
the railroad service. Ile had the die -
tinction of running the first passenger
train as conductor between Toronto and
Stratford.
Mr. Knight was well-known all over
Ootarlo and the esteem In which, tie was
held was a great tribute to his charac-
ter.
I t domestic Iffe he was eminently
!.appy, and a -s was to bo expected lie
was beloved and venerated at home.
He and ifrs. Knight celebrated their
golden wedding 10 May, 19110.
Ile was a consistent member of the
lep:scopal churc:i, and his religious
character was known and acknowledged
by all around him. It appeared rattier
in action than In words ; was more a
habit that. nn Impulse; was always vis-
ible, yet wholly free from every taint
of ostentation or display.
In polities the deceased was an ardent
admirer of the principles laid down by
the Conservative party. and his reasons
for such were well defined.
The deepest sorrow prevails through-
out the household and profound regret
Is telt by tine whole community.
