Mr. Scott is a big, genial, sort of chap, one who under any and all circumstances has a cheery word and a hearty laugh for everybody. He has experienced his share of the ups and downs of life, and there are few who will now begrudge him the somewhat easier position he has' entered upon after his strenuous life during the past 3o years. Mr: Scott was born at Moles- worth in /857, and when only 14 years of work e started t g v k in the implement busi- ness. He left however and d h as been in the stock business for the past 3o years and knows every farmer in this part of the country. Of course his ac- ceptance of the postoffice necessitates his giving up the other activities. His farm. er friends, and be has lots of them, will miss Mr. Scott's bluff acd cheery salutation when he went into buy and while others will take up his work they witlbe a long time before they can "fill his shoes" in the accepted sense. Mr. Scott was married 27 years ago to Miss Tughen, of Trowbridge, and with his wife and family has lived in Listowel for the past 17 years and now that he has a "government job" ought to live to a ripe old age, Here's hoping he does.
