There passed away on .,Thursday, Feb. ]8.b, Lancelot Nethery, at bis home on the fifth concession, Eeee 1Vawanoeh, at the ripe old age of 85 years. Mr. Nethery was horn in the county of Ferma pagb, Ireland, in the year 1829, and came to Canada in the year 1852, settltug in Oartwright Township, Durham county. where he rea,ained aotil the year 1857, ,Leaving Cartwright he came to East Wawa nosh and took up tbe farm on which he died. In the year 1879 he married Elizabeth Tyner. The ceremony was perfumed by the Rev. Wm. Render- eoo, rector of the parish of Blyth at that time. Deceased was a member of the Anglican Church, and one of the feundere of the Church in this parish, holding the office of warden for some years. The tur.jeetof the sketch, the late Lancelot Nethery, was brought up by the Church of England, but was liberal to all, for in the pion- eer days of the country when char cher were few in number he had a church built on his own place for alt pro- testant denominations to worbhtp tberein. In politics he was a staunch Cc n servative and for over fifty leers a valued member of the Orange Order. He was one of the Charter members of Belgrave L. 0. L. and a member in good standing at the time of his death. He was a delegate to the •coanty Orange Lodge of South Huron, held in Exeter for the purpose of the divieton''of the county inta<South and North Huron, the latter' o1r vShioh he. *as the third county master and for Which he was ' a delegate tto the upreme Grande Lodge of Brittah werica held in St. Johns, New. il}nswicit. The ft)neral took place on ,Saturday afternoon, Feb. 21)th, to McCreas cemeteret;under the auspices of the Orange Order. The Rev. T. 11. Farr, rector of the deceased took the service at the house taking as his text the words "I will never leave Thee nor forsake Thee" Mr. Nethery requested Mr. Farr to speak from these words and to tell the friends hew true God had been to His promise. At the grave Mr. Groves of 1'Vinghem, Oounty Master of the Orange men of this s district officiated. Mrs. Nethery died in 1911 and since that time Mr, Nethery made his home with his only son, Mr, W. G. on tate home. stead. The late Mr. Nethery was a pian of sterling qualities. He could give you a yes to what' was right and a no to what was wrong that there was no mistaking, straight forward, sterling honesty marked his every act. The Empire never boasted a more loyal enbject, nor the Orange Order a more worthy brother, and the Ohurch knew him as a good son. He was a good type of man and highly respected in t in which he lived f so gate neighborhood ensue, y yeare. Belgrave, Feb. 28, 1015 Mr. Jno.

Tbere was also shipped on March 1st, to the Belgian Relief a box con• taining sixty two quilts shipped in ad- dition to eeventy quilts shipped in Feb making a total of one hundred and thirty two quilts sent to the relief of the needy Belgians. -We would again repeat the appeal on behalf of the Red Grose Society for white material suit- able for bandages and surgical dreet•- legs, There seems to be some misun- derstanding which is keeping many persons from sending in old material. Any sort of old white cotton or liner, rags or pieces, thoroughly cleansed seems cut or ripped out and premed, done up in bundles or rolls is what is required. W,e would urgently request all those who can do so, to hurir nut all white cotton and linen garments and have it prepared and sent in for shipment at once so that it may he in- cluded in the shipment which is being made very soon from the Red Cross Society to the hospital at the front The need for this is increasing every day and the call comee with a special significance to those who bave rela- tives and friends among the soldiers now on the battlefields.

Dear Mr, .Agriculturalist: -- Four years ago we promised you certain inducements in'our canvas for cream namely that we would take your cream all the year, that we would pay you upon delivery of each can of cream,.that would mean a daily test and also that we would be in a position to pay as much for the cream as any city Creamery. We are sorry to confess that in each of these inducements we have not been able to fulfil our protnise however, de- lays are not denials; on Saturday of thie week we will open a. new depart- ment in copnection with our produce busiuese. Silverwoods Lid., of Len- don will have a man in aur warehouse testing your cream upon arrival then we will pay you the cash far it. We are glad that we can make this an- nouncement and hope that this de- partment of our business will he of great service to you as we would like to have the fanners of this district drop in at any time with samples, of not only the cream, but also a satnple of the milk of each cow of the herd,' It will then be known which cow is the pi'otitabld• one. We therefore, with hist equipment, think thata we are in position to compete wit. h the first tenmeries both n service and in )+rices.
