Tho Belgrave Methodist Sabbath
School held their annual Xmas Tree
entertainment Xmas night. Weethr'r
being pleasant the attendance was so
great that many were turned away.
The program was perhaps the best
ever given here on such an occasion.
The boys and girls of the school did
their part well in choruses, drills, solos
and recitation. Mr. Willis and
Master Carl Maguire, of Winghem,
and Miss Hingston, of Brussels, de-
lighted the audience with their solos ;
the Westfield male quartette were as
usual highly appreciated ; Miss An-
drews, of Bluevale, and Mr's.I. Parker,
of Wingham, rendered bumorous aid
pathetic recitations in a very pleasing
manner, club swinging by three young
ladies from the stone school section,
and two dialogues by young people of
the sante section received the applause
of the listeners. The dialogues were
entitled "Amariahand his boys" and
"Aunt Virginias ear trumpet." At,
the close of the interesting program
Santa Claus gave numerous presents
not only to boys and girls but also to
lieu and women. The proceeds were
$52.75,

A MORRIS PIONEER PASSES AWAY.
-The subject of this notice, in the
person of \Vin. Michie, sr., who de-
parted this life ou Christmas Day was
one of the best known and highly re-
spected residents of this township. He
was born at Hawiek, Roxboroshire,
Scotland, in September, 1880 and was
therefore at the time of his death in
his 79th year. At the age of 21 years
he emigrated to America, landing iu
the state of New York where he work-
ed on a dairy farm for some two or
three years. In 1854 he came to
Canada working for a few -years on a
farm in Esquesiug township, Halton
county, and in 1858 he came West to
the Huron tract, then a complete
wilderness, whet•e he took up land, his
selection being. Lot 11 on the 5th con-
cession of Morris township. In the
Spring of the following year he was
married to Jane . Michie, Esquesing
township, Halton 00, and in the Fall
of 1859 he returned to Morrie town-
ship to begin the task of converting a
forest into a cleared farm of cultivat-
ed fields, In this he was eminently
successful. The stability, iudustry
and perseverance which characterized
him not only enabled him to overcame
many trials and hardships of the
pioneer days but likewise to reap the
fruits of his labors in a comfortable
home where he spent his days of rest
until be was called to that rest which
remaineth for the children of God.
Mr. Michie sustained a severe loss in
1876 when his partner in life, who had
so ably assisted him in making and
enjoying home life in those days, was
called away. As a result of this first
marriage five sons and two daughters
were born of whom four sons are
now livlaxg, viz., Wm., of Galt ; C. A.,
ofHespeler, John, of Saginaw city,
Mich., and Thomas, of Scotch Block,
Halton Co., Ont. Deceased was mar-
ried again in 1879 to Elizabeth Barton;
'of Ttu'nberry township. who with a
family of three sans and three daugh-
ters, together with the four sons
above mentioned, survive, to mourn
the loss of a kind and devot-
ed husband and father. The mem-

Alex. McLaachlin, of Brussels, who
was' the first teacher was unable to be
present to teach the -010 boys' class"

kindly took her place and no small
interest centred round this event, and
old : days and scenes were vividly
called to mind. It was an interesting
feature. The ppn ils acquitted the,n-
•selves well and 'cid themselves atld •�,:.
their teacher credit. In the evening
the annual entertainment was held.
&Zany good times have been enjoyed
at these gatherings but this one was
a record breaker, The good natured
audience was packed like the proverb-
ial sardines but complained not.. J.
A. Bunter presided as Chairman and
did well. The program was varied,
interesting and most creditably pre-
sented. In addition to local talent
the Harmonica Band, Male Quartette
and Ladies' Quartette from Brussels,
Uncle Eben's Quartette from James-
town and the orchestra and duet from.
Gorrie were among the features of the
evening. All did well. Proceeds
nearly $40 after free admission was
given to the pupils and the talent.
Teacher Fraser worked like a Trojan
in arranging for the day . and has the
satisfaction of knowing that he has
set the pace. A larger audience room
is certainly a necessity.
