Both Mr. and Mrs Lyon were born in Lincolnshire. Mr. Lyon is 84 years old, and his wife is 81. They were married in England, and spent their honeymoon of six weeks on a sailing vessel en route for Canada. After residing in Guelph for three years they took up land about a mile and a quarter north of Londesboro, and have resided there ever since. The celebration of„the diamond anniver- sary was attended by their children, who presented their parents with very beautiful armchairs, From their grandchildren they received a hand - clock. some This township is at the present con- siderably exercised over an outbreak of rabies. In and around the village of Fordwich there have been several cases of mad dogs, and many dogs that have been bitten have been destroyed. The local Board of Health has issued notices "that all dogs found running at large may be destroyed and their own- er prosecuted. A dog that had done considerable damage was shot last week and the head sent to Toronto for examination. The authorities have been advised that the head proved to be a case of the worst kind of rabies. The Provincial Board of Health sent an inspector to Fordwich, and he hes ad- vised the destruction of all dogs that have shown any symptoms of the dis- ease or are known to have been bitten or in any way have been in contact with suspected cases of rabies.

Baby's Own Tablets are recommend- ed by thousands of thankful mothers who have used them for their little ones and have found them a safe and sure cure for constipation, indigestion, worms, simple fevers and all stomach and bowel troubles. Concerning them Mrs. Auguste Blier, St. Damage, Que., writes: "Please send me another box of Baby's Own Tablets. I have al- ready used them and have found them an excellent remedy for little ones. I would strongly recommend them to all mothers.” The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co„ Brockville, Ont. Mr, R. Garniss is moving to the village and will take up residence in John Gan- nett's house. Mrs. John King is visiting her sister, at Bervie. Mrs. R. N. Duff and Mr. Smeltzer have been ill for some days but are recovery. • Mr. Eli Elliot has moved into Mrs. Bailey's house and will help in the saw mill. Mr. John Gannet and daughter return- ed to Toronto on Friday after a few days visit here. If the farmers who are contemplat- ing patronizing the Davies Company with their cream will consider that it is the joint stock companies that have kept up the competition and if factor- ies such as the Bluevale one are put out of business the future for good prices for cream are not very bright. The Bluevale factory and all fa:tories like it pay all there is in the cream to the patrons and farmers will do well to carefully consider the matter before leaving the old factory that has been their friend for many years. LIIt: ENO VV. HOWICE. Very quietly, Miss Kate Earngey, sr., passed away into the "Better Land" on Wednesday morning, March lath. Miss Earngey had the week previous been subject to an attack of La Grippe. On the 7th of March it developed into pneumonia and from the beginning it was feared that owing to her advanced age that she might not recover. Grad- ually she grew weaker until at last she fell asleep. About eighty years ago last May, Miss Earngey first saw the light of day in the Emerald Isle, being the daughter of Kate Sparrow and Richard Earngey. When about sixteen years of age, she, with her parents and brother, came to this land, first set- tling in Brampton, eventually coming west to Huron. In disposition Miss Earngey was quiet and retiring, yet for year was an earnest and faithful member of the Methodist Church. She spent many of her summers in the United States with her nephews, the Messrs. Pickfords, but always looked forward to her stay in Ilowick which she fondly called home. • The Royal Hotel here was completely • • gutted by fire, which was discovered • shortly after 5 o'clock on Wednesday • morning of last week. Mr. Clark, the • lessee, was awakened at that time by • smoke, and on hurrying down hears • • the crackling of flames in the cellar. • On opening a doorway to the basement • • he was met by a rush of flame and Asmoke which nearly overcame him. As quickly as possible he rushed upstairs • and awakened the bartender, Mr. Wal- • lace, and the two men rushed through • the house arousing the guests and the • help. Some had barely time to grab a • few clothes, while most of the women • • escaped in their night robes. All the boarders and help lost all their belong- ings. The fire spread rapidly, and in a few minutes the flames were licking up the stairways and the interior of the building. The fire department was on hand early, but could do nothing to check the blaze. In a short time the whole interior was a furnace, and soon afterwards the roof fell in. Inside of • two hours nothing remained but the the walls. Mr. Clark believes that the fire started from the furnace. Tho building is owned by Mr. Thos. • Todd, of St. Helens. Mr. Clark's loss is about $5000, and the building was val- ued at the same amount. • you can buy, Z 26, 28, 80, 32, We want your Produce we Pay Highest Prices HANNA & CO. PHONE 70 JAb1J.8TOWN.

The people of the village of Walton and surrounding community were greatly shocked to learn of the sudden death of Mrs. Henry Hamilton, which occurred at the home of their daughter, Mrs. John Bolger. Mrs. Hamilton had reached her seventy-fifth year and the day of her burial was the 50th anni- versary of her marriage. She was born at Ainley, Leeds Co., and at the age of 22 moved with her father and mother, the late Mare Cardiff and wife, to the Township of Grey. After her marriage her husband settled in the township of Mornington. They re- mained there 7 years after which they took up their residence in the township of McKillop, Huron Co., where they lived continuously for 43 years on the old Hamilton homestead near the vil- lage of Walton. She will be greatly missed and more especially in her home where she particularly excelled as a good wife and a kind and loving mother. She leaves behind besides her husband to mourn her passing a host of friends and a family of sons and daughters and alfa several brothers and sisiers, Mrs. Hamilton's family consisted of four sons and two daughters as follows:— John R., Edmonton, Alta.; Mark C., Vancouver, B.

After a heroic fight for life, Sarah Jane Plum, relict of the late Charles Rozell, passed away to her reward on Friday, March 15th, aged 58 years, 10 months and 6 days. She was born in Haysville, Waterloo Co., and was mar- ried at Trowbridge nearly 40 years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Rozell made their home in Elma township for a while and after- ward resided in Morris township and then in Grey. In December, 1910, Mr. Rozell died and now the mother of the home is called. The daughters are: — Mrs. Engel, Paw Paw, Mich.; Mrs. W. H. Salter, Toronto; Mrs. H. Manning, Morris township, and Misses Annie and Hazel at home. There are three sons: —Will, of Toronto; Ernest, at home, and Elton, of Hastings, Michigan. Two children died in infancy. S. T. Plum, of Brussels and Ernest Plum, of Vancouver, B. C., are brothers to Mrs. Rozall and Mrs. N. B. Gerry, of Fort William, a sister. The subject of this notice was a fine woman who enjoyed the friendship of a wide circle of friends, who greatly regret her demise. For many years she was a faithful member of the Methodist church. Nine weeks ago Mrs. Rozell took ill with pneumonia at the home of her brother in Brussels and while she rallied some- what and was taken to her home a re- lapse followed and coupled with heart weakness was more than the patient could overcome.

Each person applying for an experiment should write his name and address very carefully and should give the name of the County in which he lives. Ontario Agric. College, C.A. Zavitz, Guelph, March, 1912. Director. EDITORAL NOTES. Hon. A. A. McDonald, Senator from Prince Edward Island, died at Ottawa last Thursday. He was born in 1829. was one of the delegates to the Confed- eration Conference at Quebec in 1864, and has been Senator since 1891. His . death leaves Sir Charles Tupper the only surviving Father of Confedera- tion. Honorable George Eulas Foster, Min- ister of Trade and Commerce, says the farmers should take the matter of car shortage, etc., to the Lord in prayer. And the old duffer is right. As long as he has anything to do with the affairs of the country, it is a case of "God help the farmers," all right. —Pincher Creek Echo. The world is full of pretty things. Also jabs and jolts and stings. David McKinnon, a former resident of Tuckersmith, is dead at Portage la Prairie, Man., at the age of sixty-four year. Thos. B.

A Minneapolis colored waiter, on a salary of $2.5 a month, has saved enough to buy an automobile. This explains why a lot of restaurant eaters do not own automobiles.

He could not have fig- ured that the kind of education turned out at Harvard was broadening also. Awful Veracity. From the Argonaut. At a Scotch dinner everyone had con- tributed to the entertainment but Dr. MacDonald. "Come, come, doctor," said the chairman, but the doctor pro- tested: "My voice is altogether un- musical and resembles the sound caused by the act of rubbing a brick along the panels of a door." The company at- tributed this to the doctor's modesty. "Very well," said he finally, "If you can stand it, I am willing." There was silence as the doctor sat do painfuldown, a broken at length by the voice of abraw Scot at the end of the table. "Mon," he exelairned, "your singing's not up to much, but your veracity's just aw- ful, You're richt about that brick."
