Saving
Alt successful men began by saving.
Later, perhaps, they invested, but they
first had to accumulate capital.
The first step towards wealth is to
open a Savings Account; The second
is to save regularly.

ADDRESS AIOD PRESENTATION. -As
G. W. Pollard has been talking for
some time of quitting business in
Ethel, folk were surprised to hear he
had decided definitely to drop the
hammer on Saturday last, As the
roads were bad and the notice very
short to give him a rousing farewell
party, a few people of Ethel and
vicinity, called to spend the evening
and enjoy the hospitality of the Pol-
lard home, perhaps for the last tine in
Ethel. Evening was spent in games,
singing and music and before lunch
was served Mr. and Mrs. Pollard were
seated and kindly address was read by
W. H. Love, and a purse of money
presented by G, M. Mitchell, Mr.
Pollard made a very appropriate reply
and assured the people of Ethel that
wherever his home in the future
might be they would always be sure of
a hearty welcome. After partaking
of a fine lunch and singing "Auld
Lang Syne" the party dispersed to
111511 respective homes. Mr, Pollard
left Monday morning to take a posi-
tion with the McDonald Mfg. Oo„
Stratford. As Mr. Pollard was ad-
vancing in years he finds the horse -
shoeing business is not getting
any easier hence he decided to make
the change. Wherever he may locate
the people of Ethel wish him success.
Address was as follows :-DEAR Mn.

ADDRESS AND PRESENTATION. -
Monday evening of this week a pleas-
ant social time was spent at the home
of W. and Mrs, Work when about 76
of their neighbors and friends as-
sembled to pend a few hours with
them before their removal to Brus-
sels. Robt. McKay called upon Geo.
McFarlane to read the following ad-
dress while Alex. Armstrong and
Charles Davis presented the host and
hostess with two leather upholstered
chairs :-e
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Work. -DEAR
FRIENDS. -The Good Book says
"A roan that has friends must show
himself friendly" and on account of
you folk living up to this injunction,
together with the fact that you are
shortly to remove from the old home-
stead, are the chief factors accounting
for our invasion this evening, to en-
joy a few hours with yon. You have
or long years proven your interest in
the community and it is only simple
justice to say you have been A 1
neighbors, always ready to aid in
doing your share for the good of the
neighborhood. While regretting your
going away we are pleased you will
be located so near that practically no
separation will take place. This will
be especially true as you are leaving
one of your stalwart sons and bride to
succeed you on the fine farm. You,
both have rung true as honorable,
oourtec oo, neighborly folk and have
enjoyed the high esteem of everybody,
To mark this event we ask you to ac-
cept these gifts as practical evidence
of our friendship and kindly regard.
We wish you many happy year's of
health and comfort in "Victoria, Oot-
tage," Brussels, and trust to often
meet you as in the days gone by. We
remain yours truly, Your neighbors
and old friends,
Mr, Work made a brief reply thank-
ing all for their kindness and hoped
that their intimacy would not be
severed but that they would be glad
to welcome all to "Victoria Cottage,"
A WORTHY PIONEER PASSES
AWAY. -After a brief illness from
pneumonia, Andrew Hislop, 16th
Con„ was called away from time in
his 87th year. Mr. Hislop was born
at Ettrick, Selkirkshire, Scotland,
May 10th 1838 being the 6111 son of the
late John Hislop. In 1862 lie, with
his father, 2 sisters and younger
brother, tante to Canada, 4 older
brothers of the family having emi-
grated some years prior. During the
autumn of that year the entire family
with one exception, settled on the
land on the 16th Oon, of Grey where
he,contiuued to reside for the remain-
der of his days, a period of more than
67 years. In 1883 he married Miss
Susan McNair, of the same township.
By holiest industry and good maim-
gement they abundantly prospered
and after 23 years of happy married
life Mrs. Hislop was trailed to a higher

household but by all who had the good

Mr, Hislop was a man of action
"whatsoever his hand found to

a progressive and successful farmer,
systematic and methodical in every
detail of management ; an apostle of

tion he was core of the last surviving
and an outstanding type of the
dauntless worthies who settled in the
"Queen's Bush," when all the re-
sources of the soil were still held In
Nature's rugged grasp and, changed
the face of the country into fertile
fields and beautiful gardens, and who
by honest worth and exemplary con-
duct have left to posterity a heritage
more to be desired than lands and
houses Or treasures of current coin.
Mr. Hislop was a man of remarkable
physical endurance, On one oeeas-
eton in early pioneer life be left his
brother's home in Waterloo Co., for
his father's house in Grey, travelling
on foot and carrying a grain cradle on
his shoulder he reached his destination
about midnight of the same day and
next morning went to work and work-
ed all day cutting grain as though the
previous day's exploit of walking 70
miles was an ordinary affair. For years
after the first settlement in this part
of the country there was no doctor
nearer than Harphurhey, neither tele-
phones, telegraphs nor horses. In
cases of accidents or sickness the sub-
ject of this notice often went through
the bush afoot to summon medical
aid and always made the journey in
wonderfully short time, Up to the
very last he retained to a remarkable
degree, his mental and physical alert-
ness and his mind was clear and his
memory as good as in the days of
youth up to the hour of death. He is
survived by a family of '7. John, on
the homestead ; Mrs. Jas. McFadzean,
Brussels ; Mrs. Jas. Dickson, At-
wood ; and Misses Jane, Margaret,
Susan and Helen, all of this locality.
HeIhad 5 brothers and 2 sisters, who
predeceased him. They !were John,
William, Jae, and Thomas who were
formerly well known residents of this
township, and George, Waterloo.

township. The funeral service was
conducted by Rev. Mr, Lundy, Wal-
ton and interment was made in Brus-
sels cemetery. Pallbearers were :-
Jas. McFadzean and Jas. Dickson,
sons -in-laws, Jno, H. and Archie
Hislop and Jas. A. and John Mc-
Nair, nephews. The name of Mr.
Hislop wi8 live long in the commun-
