LATE Wal, SANDERseN,—In the
death of Win. Sanderson, at his home
in I ullett township, on Sunday, May
12th, has removed from our midst one
who has clone much to build up and
ilip:eve agriculture in this section.
Being an extensive land owner he was
always ready to adopt the best for the
improvement of his farms and thereby
wits an incentive to others to follow
his example. He was a man of ster-
ling qualities, iris word was ever as
acceptable as his bond and he was al-
ways spoken of as a Ulan of honesty
and integrity. Few men were better
known in this section than the cle-
ceased, having spent .the major por-
tion of his life in the township of
Mullett and on the farm on whieb he
died. He Was of a kindly disposition
revered in the hoarse and respected by
all v
ho held his acquaintance. A
l-
thougn having attained considerable
wealth he °vas notatsinupuiuus, but
P
practised frugality had
all his tastes.
Many who have had occasion to apply
to him iu heir need found hln gener-
ous when he felt generosity was dne
and was ever ready to assist those
who tried to assist themeelves. Mr.
Sanderson was an Englishman by
birth, being born in }lull, Yorkshire,
on April 6th, 1830, when 21 years of
age catne to Canada in meaning vessel,
whieh at that time was the popular
mode of travelling across the Atlan-
tic. On atriving in Canada lie settled
near Toronto, but shortly afterwards
carne to Hulled; township mud took
up Lot 18, 12th Can. 'Township at
that bane was mostly in its primeval
state. No Mall knew better or grap-
pled more fearlessly with the many
hardships incident to pioneer life than
did the subject of this notice. A man
of indomitable spirit, he was 11011nd to
succeed as was evidenced throughout
his life. Deceased was married April
20th, 1801, to Miss Oaroline 13eigham,
ceremony taking place at °lintel' and
was performed by the late Rev. John
]Mills, To this union was born a fami-
ly of 12 children, all of whom with the

small sant !flee indeed compared to
those new being made by Canadian

value in maintaining the splendid
morale of our nnsurpaseed eitizen
soldiers to know that for whom they
are fighting on the fields of France
and Flanders toe not recreant to the
solemn duty of the hour in their bes
loved Canada. That duty calls for the
exercise of every generous and high
resolve in all the avocations of a
spittle(' people whnee very existence
as apeople, and whose great heritage
is involved in the issue of the struggle,
It is particularly desirable that
clergymen of all denominations,
school teachers, professional amen,
tratlesmen, nee eliante, agriculturists,
captains of industry, members of
Council—in short all thnSe wllo by
reason of their social position wield
great influence, should make known
the requirements anti purpose of regis-
tration, in order that no false concep-
tion of its import may gain ground,
or jeopardize its etCcess.
Let our message from this Rifling
on Registration Day be one of sym-
pathy and steadfast purpose to our
soldiers at the front, in common with
the rest of Canada let our answer to
the calls of the Registration Board be
the clarion voiee of a milted people,
conscious of the ,justice of its cause
and animated by acommon determina-
tion to do all in its pewee to have that
RILUSP. prevail.
Registrar Bellamy hopes t o meet a
number of the patriotic woriters in
Brussels in a fety days for the purpose
of arranging for the earrvilig out of
the above mentioned week.
