Y A WELL KNower MAN PAYS NAT. vas's DF,a'r.-The news last Sunday morning that Joseph Clegg, the well o known drover, of the 5th line, was Y dead came as quite a shock to the h community as comparatively few knew e be was, ill. He passed peacefully away at to p: m. Saturday, acute indiges- o tion, coupled with heart weakness e being the cause. Mr. Clegg bad not n been feeling extra well for the past 0 month and had uonsulted a physician, be The Sabbath before he was called away he had a vomiting spell but he Y improved considerably and was able fit' to go to Brussels on Tuesday ac• t, eompanied..by Mrs. Clegg. Thursday to he tools consideraly worse the ailment n bidding defiance to all that could be it done to prolong life. Deceased was ce born hu Goderich township 68 years ,, ago and became a resident of Morris township about the year 186o when he secured South half lot 8, eon. 5, of then a bush lot which he cleared and 1- made for himself and his family a ,n comfortable home, The subject of g this notice was a hearty, ener •stir g t• man who was not afraid rofe work and 51 in all his business ventures displayed he a shrewdness and ability that turned v0 many an honorably earned dollar his r, way, Years ago he weal into the 1- tattle business on an extensive scale to and was one of the largest exporters is of stock in the countryside. For il+ about 30 years he successfully con. ,'- tinned in this avocation and was in- d- Ornately acquainted with everybody 0 for miles round, and while ho had gh losses a5 well as gains 11e tnaterially 08 improved his bank account and kept 0• the balance on the right side of the 11 ]eager. Mr. Clegg was genial, til square and kindly and counted his g0 friends by the thousands. He was a d• Censervativs ill politics, a'Oval Meth- td odist in religion, actively and liberally 11 supporting orting the' wade-. at .

For 7 or 8 years Mr, Clegg and family resided in Brussels but always held on to the farm hontested where so many comforts were at hand. Owing t0 a tendency to catch cold easily Mr. Clegg lead spent several of the past Winters is California or other milder climates than Ontario but on the whole he has enjoyed com- parative good health, barring one g severe illness when his life hunt in the balance for some time. Three brothers of deceased are still living via lames, Frank and William. Robt. died in Nebraska last year, Tuesday afternoouhundreds of people, many from considerable distances, paid the last tribute of respect to Mr, Clegg's memory by attending his funeral. A suitable service was held at the home conducted by Rev. G, W. Rivers, B. D., deceased's pastor, as• listed. by Rev. A. E. Tones, of Au. born, a former pastor, and Rev. Geo. Baker, of Bluevale.

After the usual burial service the Orange ceremony was conducted, B. Garry and Rev H, M, Lang•Ford, of Brussels, taking charge. The floral tokens were numerous and beautiful, Mrs. Clegg and family need hardly be assured that they have the sym- Cathy of many old friends as they are already in possession of many words of sympathy and expressions of re- ret. Pallbearers were tines Rus- sell, Wm. Wray, A. C. Dames, Mark M, CRidiff, John Mooney, and Robt. Reid. The name of Joseph Clegg will live long in the memory of Huron Co. people for geniality, uprightness and unselfishness and his removal Erom the earthly home of comfort to the Better Hone beyond the skies is another of frequent reminders as to the mutability of this life and the certainty of a summons that must be obeyed. - _ GREY The news is always welcome at Toe Post.
