bell, Provinoial hoed Oommleeioner,
might be considered with profit; Do
away with the etatute labor roll entirely.
To raise the money required, levy a rate
on the armament of the Township. For
road purposes, divide the I owuehip into
a number of divieione, usually four. Ap-
portion the money equally among the
road divieione, keeping in viewall olronm-
stanoee, viz : Importance of roads, works
needed on them, benefit reuniting to the
greatest number of people, amount of
traffic, neseeeement, eta. Appoint one
Township Road Oommiesioner to adviee
and consult with, and oarry out the di.
rection of the Connell. Councillors
ebould not act as Oommissionere, tie they
are subject to undue influence from the
ratepayers, and their term of office ie
uncertain. .A. general plan for road
improvements should be laid down by
the Council for the Commissioner to
follow, Tbie plan:should should epeoify
the width to be graded, width and depth
of metal, character of drainage, etc., of
all roads. Roads of importance should
not be less than twenty-four feet between
the inside edges of open ditches, No
roads should be of less width than sigh.
tern feet. Early in the year the Coattail
and the Commissioner should go over all
the roade to ooneider the work to be
undertaken. Work of construction, such
an hauling gravel, ditching, and drainage,
building of bridges and culverts should be
doue by oontraot, and supervised by the
Road Commissioner. No account for
labor or material should be paid by the
Treasurer except on the certificate of the
Road Commissioner. Minor work and
repairing should be done by day labor,
only the Road Commissioner being auth-
orized it should be in the oars of the
Road Commissioner. Ocly the Road
Oommiseioaer ehoald employ, direct or
discharge the men or teams needed to
operate the machinery. Should the
Council desire to interfere in any of these
mettere they one do so through the Com.
miesioner. The same man and teams
ehoald be hired to operate the machinery
for the entire sea000, or longer if possible,
as they become profioient and do better
work ; this applies particularly to the
operation of a road grader. The Com-
miseioner should keep a pay roll to return
quarterly to the Council showing wbo
have been paid and the amonnt paid, the
roll to be then flied for auditors. Tbe
roll will sot as a check on favoriteiem on
the part of the commissioner. Work
should be divided as much as possible
among the residents of the Township de
siring it. Work should be commenced
with a dedoite end in view and continued
eyetematioally from year to year if
necessary, until the entire road mileage
has been brought to a proper standard.
1)Istribution of Samples of Seed Grain
and Potatoes.
To the Editor of Tao -OST
Daring the past twelve years samples
of those varieties of grain, &o., whioh
hove eucoeeded beet on the several Ex•
perimental Farms have been distributed
on application in 8 lb bags, free through
the mail, to farmers in all parte of the
Dominion. The object in view, in this
distribution has beau to add to the pro-
daotivenese and improve the quality of
these important agrioultural products
throughout the country, by placing with-
in reach of every farmer, pure seed of the
most vigorous and productive aorta.
Tbie wort[ baa met with much appreci-
ation, and a larger measure of eueoes8.
Under instruction of the Hon. Mini-
ster of Agriouitare another distribution
will be made this season. Owing to the
very large number of applications aunnal.
ly received, it ie not praotiaable to send
more than one eample to ea011 applicant,
—hence if an individual receivee a tam•
ple of oats, be cannot aleo receive one of
wheat, barley or potatoes, and applica-
tions for more than one sample for one
household cannot be entertained. These,
samples will be seat only to those who
apply earnestly, lists of names from so.
pieties or individnale cannot be ooneider-
ed. The distribution will 00081 t as
heretofore of samples of oats, Spring
wheat, barley, field peas, Indfao Dorn and
potatoes.
Applications should be addressed to
the Dtreotor of Experimental Fame,
Ottawa, and may be sent any time be.
fore the 1st of March, 1901, after whioh
date the lists will be olosed, go that the
samples asked for may all be sent out in
good time for sowing. Partials writing
will pima mention the sort of sample
they would prefer, naming two or three
different varieties of their oboioe.
Should the available stook of all the
varieties named be exhausted, some other
good Bort will be sent instead.
The samples of grain will be sent early
but potatoes cannot be distributed until
danger of Nary in transit by frost is
over. No provision hag been made ler
any general distribution of any other
ends than those named.

OnimvsnY.—It was with deep regret that
the people of this locality learned re-
cently of the death of Thomas Roe, who died
of apoplexy at ]us home in Seaforth on
Christmas Day. The sad event was alto-
gether unexpected, for though lie had at-
tained,to the age of 70 years and 11 months,
he had always enjoyed robust health and
havinga much more than ordinary slurs of
physical vigor, and coming of a race of long-
lived ancestry, itlooked so far as human eye
i
could discern, as f he might reach well nigh
to the century mark. His sudden and un -
looked for demise again reminds us of the
uncertain;ty of life. Mr. Roe was a native of
Ireland and emigrated to America 0119 years
of age, locating first in the state of New York
After spending two years there he came to
Canada and settled on a farm in the town-
ship of Grey where he lived for about 20
years. Disposing of this farm he purchased
another on the loth concession of IL, egillop,
on which he lived till about 0 years ago when
he retired to Seaforth, where he continued
to reside till the time of his death. In 1054
he married Amy Dudley of St. Marys, who
pre -deceased him five and a half years ago.
In the death of Mr. Roe the County loses
another of that noble band of pioneers who
transformed the wilderness of half a century
ago into the well cultivated farms of to -day,
and the community one of its most respected
and useful citizens, for he wan a man who
lived for others as well as for himself. Pos-
sessed of good business ability he hadere the
prime of life accumulated a sufficiency of
this world's goods but while his life was a
success from the material standpoint he was
not less mindful of the Spiritual side. In
early manhood he became a member of the
Methodist church, of which he was during
the remainder of his life devoted. His
labors in connection with the church are too
well known to need any lengthy mention
here. Filled with a zeal for furthering the
kingdom of God; endowed with a strong
mentality and a restless energy, he was not
content to remain a silent member of the
congregation but in prayer meeting, Sunday
school, evangelistic work, in everything
relative to the welfare and progress of the
church he took a foremost part. A man of
liberal and progressive views, his endeavors
in spiritual work were not confined to that
religious body in particular with which he
fate,ei�ntsatio
unortune, the iindndheneedy,to
those in sorrow and dtstrese he was ever ready
to minister and lend a helping hand, Thug
his life became an active iittiuenoe for good
among the people with whom his lot was
cast. In the pioneer days of this section of
the countryhe regularly officiated in 111e
pulpits of the Brussels and Walton circuits.
Having received in his youth a superior edu-
cation, and by nature possessing a strong and
vigorous understanding, combined with ade-
quate powers of language, his discourses in
orm and finish fell little short of the efforts
of collo a -bred men; and permeated, as they
were, with the zeal and earnestness of the
man, they never failed to appeal directly to
the hearts and conscience of his hearers. A
sketch of the solid and substantial personal-
ity of the man has been anticipated in what
we have staid of his work. The salient
features of his character were rectitude of
purpose, tireless energy, firmness ofw,ll and
Christian zeal, To theca were added a thrid
of sympathy, a humanitarian spirit, and a
due regard for the rights of his fellowmen,
In short, he had the elements so mixed in him.
that nature might atand up, and say to an
the world, "This was a man, His second
wife, a stepdaughter ands familyof two
sons and three daughters survie him.
