D'Arcy was born in Wicklow County, Ireland, April 8th, 1835, and passed to his' long rest May 10th, 1913, He was the third eldest of nine children who with their mother came to this country in 1851, and settled in the Township of Howick in 1855. Here he met and married Mary McLaughlin on the 20th day of March, 1860, and to this union were born ten children, eight of whom are living. He purchased from the Government the farm now owned by Wm. Spence and was one among the early pioneers to first blaze the way for a coming civilization. After twenty- five years sojourn in this community, he with his family moved to Mazokoma and from there to Michigan, returning two years ago to Fordwich and the present home where he died. Mr. .D'- Arcy was one of this community's most respected citizens, regarded and re- spected by all who knew him for his sterling worth, honesty of purpose in all that stands for justice and right, and leaves a host of friends who morn with the bereaved wife and relatives his passing to the home above. manna& Mrs. and Miss Hood, of Blyth, were renewing old friendships in Sunshine locality where they lived for a good many years and are always welcome back.

Forsyth, North Gravel Road, has been re -shingled. Stabling will be over- hauled also and cement floors, new stalls,. etc., put in. The cement floor was put on the Clark steel bridge last week by Robert Vint. A jubilation should almost be held when public travel is once more resumed over it.

Canada Can Build Ships - Mr. Borden has proven an ardent ad- vocate of the Winston Churchill doct- rine that Canada cannot build warships and is generally incompetent where marine work is concerned. It must come as a painful shock to Mr. Borden and his followers that a contract has just been let in Montreal for the building of the largest steel bulk freight steamship ever built in the British Empire, which is to be con- structed at Port Arthur, in the very heart of the Dominion. This is to be a boat 625 feet in length, 29 feet beam, and 32 feet draught. There is not a ship in the British navy longer or broader than this. Can- adians are told that Canada cannot build cruisers or torpedo boats and that the expense will be 40 per cent greater here anyway. The merchantile interests evidently do not take much stock in the arguments of the Borden Government when it comes to matters of business. An Insidious Appeal. The Tory Press is back at its old tactics waving the Union Jack and declaring that whoever is not a Tory is disloyal. The Mail and Empire recent- ly said, "We cannot believe that Sir Wilfrid Laurier will be able to forward I his OLD GUARD THE SENATE AS A REINFORCEMENT OF BRITAIN'S ENEMIES." Rt. Hon. Winston Churchill, the British First Lord of the Admirality, said -"The difference in method which separates the proposals of Mr. Borden's Government from those of that far- sighted statesman, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, are not of vital importance" Sir Wilfrid Laurier in his final speech on the Naval Defence Act, said: - "Canada today is a free nation. That is the reason I say that we should con- tribute to the defence of Britain as we intend to do. On this side of the House we take pride that we area nation within the Eritish Empire, and it is our policy to take up the duties which pertain to nationhood." The third reading of the navy bill, through rushed through Parliament by a vote of 101 to 68, on Thursday does net settte the issue. The measure now goes to the Senate, , which itis expected will deal with it shortly. There are many amendments proposed by the Liberals, but steam -roller methods pre - veiled, and every tithe a vote was taken it was along straight party lines, and with but one result. Gen. N. Matheson, for half a century Collector of Customs at Sarnia, Paris, Sandwich, etc., died at his home in Sarnia ' Fire did $30,000 damage at Bow Park Farm, near Branttord, including the death of thirty-two horses, about fifty pigs, a number of sheep, much hay and a number of buildings and implem- ents. �/,CEi�TRAL. //I4".
