J.G. SICENE CALLED AWAY. —After be-
ing in failing health for sane time, yet
only absent from the store for a trifle
over a week, John 0 Skeue passed
peacefully away on Saturday forenoon
deeply mourned by a wide circle of
friends. Our late lamented cidzeu'was
born in the town of Bauff. Scutland, oa
December 9th, 1841, He was the second
son of lobo Skene, who was many years
chief gardener to the Earl of Fife, at
Duff House. John Skene, sr„ emigrat-
ed to this country about the time Ot the
Crimean War and settled in Essex, where
he established a business and was also
an esteemed Elder in the Presbyterian
church there until his death. The sub-
jeet of this sketch received bis education
in the Grammar School of Bauff ; emi
grated with his family about the age of
14 ; lived short periods at Campbellford
and Streetsville, and ultimately reached
Brussels in 1877 as assistant to his
brother -in law. John Alexander (Lion),
a well known merchant of that early
period. He married Miss Nellie Wilson,
--of Streetsville, the now bereft widow.
Two or three years later he commenced
business for himself on the site of the
present stand bat the building was de-
stroyed in one of the many conflagrations
with which Brussels bas been visited.
Upon the lot Mr. Skene erected the
present substantial store and residence.
Mr. Skene was the faithful and . efficient
.
Secretary -Treasurer of Melville church
,for 17 years. He was also a member
and Secretary -Treasurer of the Bnard of
School Trustees for 14 years, and was
absent from the meetings only once dur
ing that long period—a rare example of
fidelity to duty. It would be difficult to
find any one who took, or is likely to
take, such active interest both in church
and school and he was instrumental in
saving dollars to both of these institu-
tions. In fact so zealous was he in the
performance of bis duty towards the
church that he frequently sacrificed his
own interests for the fulfilment of bis
obligations. He was strictly honorable
in his dealings, a generous friend end
good neighbor. Mr, Skene disliked;
hypocrisy, was thoroughly outspoken
and fearless and although apparently
brusque, was as tender hearted as a
child and if appealed to courteously
was the most docile of men, In political
preference he was a Liberal. The fun-
eral took place Monday afternoon. The
services. both at the houseand cemetery,
were conducted by Rev. E. G. Powell.
The many floral offerings and large
attendance at the funeral attested the es -
sem and respect with which the de-
cPased was held in this eotn01unity.
allbearers were Dr, Grabam Dr. Toole
J. H. Cameron, Jas. Fox, 5, Wilton and
W. Gillespie. '1'he School Board attend
ed in a body and sent a beautiful floral
pillow indicative of the great loss the
Board bad sustained. The subject of
this notice leaves behind to mourn his
departure besides his widow one daugh-
ter, Miss May, a brother and two sisters.
These friends may rest assured of the
deep and heartfelt sympathy of the corn-
munity.

Ferguson, an old resident of this locality
passel, away at 5 o'clock Wednesday

years. Mr. Ferguson was born in Glen
garry Co. and came West about 1872
when he purchased a farm on Con. 5
Grey, which he sold when he came into
Brussels 25 years ago. For the past two
Years he was iu failing bealih, but vas
always able to get about until recently.
He was a vigorovs man ; a faithful mem
ber of the Presbyterian church and a
Liberal in politics. Mr. Ferguson was
one of a family of 5 children (Rev.) Wm.
Ferguson, who died 13 years ago in
Glengarry ; Rev. John Ferguson, D D ,
who paid Nature's debt in Brussels to
years ago and who will be well remem-
bered as the pastor of Melville church

San will be buried Friday afternoons in

Tuesday's Toronto Globe says :—The
complete result of the battle at the polls
Monday against the bar will not be
known for a day or two. The result
will unquestionably be a marked increase.
in the No License area and this in the
face of the three fifths majority
handicap imposed on the. temperance
workers by the Whitney Governrnent.
A summary at I o'clock Tuesday morn-
ing snowed 41 licenses cut off by the
necessary three-fifths majority ; 55
licenses against which a majority was
cast, but which are saved by a three-
fifths clause ; and 40 licenses, chiefly in
towns, such as Woodstock. Trenton,
Mprrisburg, Tilsonburg and Point Ed-
ward, saved by a majority vote against
local option. The townships generally
voted for local option and as quite a few
of them are still to be heard from there
is little doubt that the number of lie, uses
cut off will be inn less than sixty. It to
this are added the seven ordered to be
cut off in St. Catharines and the 40 or-
dered to be cut off in Toronto the net
result of the campaign whit be the dos-
ing of over Ion bars on May ist. The
most remarkable feature of the voting
Monday was the refusal of the electors
to repeal local option in any important
town in which it had been tried. The
greatest interest centettd around the
Owen Sound and Grimsby battles. In

DEAR MR KERB,—It gives me much
'pleasure to send you a few lines, also
our subscription to Tian BRUSSELS

long before this and which I hone you
will receive before the New Year. I
only just recently received a letter
from a friend bank East saying it was
reported I was dead but 1 am glad to
inform you that I am exceedingly well
and my daughters, Annie and Alice,
who are greatly benefitted by this
Western climate. It is indeed "sunny
Alberta's for the sun has been shining
every day so far this Winter, withnot
the least sign of rain or snow—in fact
it looks just like Summer all day long
but I must say the nights are cold.. I
may also say' that Annie and I played
our musical glasses for a week's en-
gagement at the Dreamland Theatre
here a short time ago and drew full
houses during the week: So you see
I am still in the land of the living.
Calgary is rapidly growing as usual
and made a wonderful window dis-
play this Xmas. They are also laying
the street railway which will be run-
ning next July. Annie and Alice are
going out on the river this afp.lagoon

at the same time it is just like
a Sum-
mer day.- I trust this will find your-
self and Mrs. Kerr enjoying- good
health and that we may live to enjoy
THE BRUSSELS POST which comes as a
friend to us each week. With kind-
est regards and best wishes and a hap-
py' New Year, I am your sincere
