About 53 years ago she settled in the township of Turnberry. After her husband's death, which tools place elev- en years ago, she resided in this vil- lage. The deceased had five sons, of whom only two, Charles, near White- church and Reuben, of Wroxeter, sur- vive. The late Mrs. Sanborn was a person of a most lovable and kind dis- position. She was held in very high esteem by the whole community. The funeral which was largely attended. took place on Friday afternoon, the 3rd inst., to Wroxeter cemetery. The ser- vices at the house and the grave were conducted by her former pastor, Rev. L. Perrin, of Moorefield, assisted by Rev. D. H. Currie, of Onemee.

They wear bet- ter in the long run, and then, too, they are easier to land. A fat man is tender- hearted and simply cannot refuse an offer of marriage. Never mind the looks. Don't wait until you find a Greek god. Grab off a homely one while the grabbing is good. The home- ly ones are the ones who bring home the pork chops. If you cannot support the young man in the manner to which he has been accustomed be honest and straightforward about it and tell him so. Don't lead him to expect cham- pagne when you have only a beer in- come. Never lie to the young man about your salary, for when he learns the truth there is apt to be trouble. Be sure that your approach is all that it should be. Everything depends upon that. When you ask a young man to marry you don't go about it as though you were ordering a ham sandwich in a one-armed rertaurant. Be pleasant and polite about it. Approach him with tact, and let him find out your true nature after it is too late to turn back. -8x. $1.50 EXCURSION GODERICH TO DETROIT Steamer Greyhound Going to Detroit -June 14, Return from Detroit -June 17 25 Days in Detroit Detroit Tigers and Pen- nant Winners Play Ball, June 15-16 Crescent Club of Stratford Special Train to the Goderich Band Moonlight Thursday, June 13, 8 p. m.
