DEBATE. -At the meeting, of the
Literary Society next Monday, night
a debate will be held on a subject that
is of great interest to every com-
munity and has been the cause of
more discussion within the past few
years in the
smaller town and villages
than almost any other question. The
subject is "Resolved that depart-
mental stores are a detriment to
Canada." This debate will be given
by some of the younger members of
the Society, 8 young men taking the
affirmative and 8 young ladies the
negative, Vernon Miller and Mles
Helen Black being the captains. The
judges have also been chosen from a-
mong the younger tnernbers and the
debate will be worth coming to hear.
DISTRTOT AGRICULTURAL REPRE-
sENTATIVE.-At last week's Meeting
of the Litet:ary Society the audience
had the pleasure of hearing several
muubeee from an orchestra consisting
of ; Massie. Colvin, Brussels, Kerney
and-Speir which were greatly ap-
preciated. A ladies•quartette, a duet
by Misses Aitchison and Duff, and a
piano duet, "O'er Hill and Dale" by
Mrs. C. Higgins and Miss Lillian Mc-
Call ware other enjoyable features of
the program. This was an Agricul-
tural night at the Literary and its ob-
ject was an open discussion on "The
work and' need of a District Agri-
cultural Representative," George
McDonald introduced the subject by
explaining what the Representatives
are, how appointed and what
are their duties. Richard Johnston
described what the advantages of a
District Representative would be to
us in Huron County.
V. H. Haney
showed what
improvements w farm
buildings !night be brought about
under their supervision. Miss Eva
Duff explained their work in super-
vising Egg circles and encouraging
improved methods of handling
poultry. W. H. Fraser made a
vigorous speech on "Co-operation,"
A. MacEwen dwelt on conmunity
o • its importance improvement andNitunce in
solving the rural problem and showed
what an impetus the activities of the
District Representative would give in
this direction. Miss Cora M. Messer
spoke on Agriculture in the School
which the District Representative
gives friendly oversight and in ex-
plaining how this study is to be con-
ducted in the Bluevale School she urg-
ed that the Agricultural Bookshelf,
which is to be installed for the benefit
of the pupils and the people of the
section, should be expanded by the
co-operation of the Literary Society
into a reference library for the as-
sistance of all local organizations in
preparing papers, addresses, debates,
etc. By keeping such a library in the
school there would be no cost for
maintenance and she stated that it
could be consulted by the public dur-
ing school hours without disturbing
the, school work. Rev. Crawford
Tate described one of the most in-
teresting and successful forms of
enterprise carried out by the District
Representatives, the organization of
School Fairs and competitions. These
have done more than anything else to
Popularize the teaching of Agri-
culture in the schools. 1. W. Ring,
in the course of his talk on "The im-
portance of Education," brought out
the point that Huron County was

A FORMER RESIDENT CALLED. -
Wednesday of last week Robert
Wallace, a former resident of Lot 10,
Con. 0, Grey township, died at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. W. D.
Golding, Toronto, in his 88th year.
He had only been confined to bed for
a day. Heart weakness was the cause
of his demise. Mr. Wallace was born
in Beckwith, Ont., and came to this
township 30 years ago, removing to
the West from here, Mrs. Wallace
n
died 20
Years no and was buried in g
Brussels cemetery where her husband
interred last Saturdayar-
rivalinto on the a
rival of the 11.22 a. m. train from
Toronto. Rev. D. Wren conducted
the service. Two sons survive (John
A., of Griswold, Man, • and James, of
Nelson, B. 0.) Wm. died 3 years ago.
The daughters are Mrs. M. Hay, of
Moosomiu, Sask. ; Mrs. W. D. Gold-
ing and Mrs.
Spalding,of Tor-
onto. Mr. Golding and a grandson,
Lieut. Wallace, who belongs to one
of the overseas Contingents, attended
the funeral on Saturday. The subject
of this notice had been a hearty man
and was held in high esteem by a
wide circle of friends. A number of
the older people of Grey township
remember the Wallace family very
distinctly and with pleasant thoughts.
DEAR FRIENDS.- We, as friends
and neighbors, have gathered here
this evening to bid you a kind fare-
well on the occasion of your removal
from our midst. We also wish to
show, 10 some slight way, our respect
and appreciation of you as a friend
and neighbor while you have lived
amongst us. The old familiar saying
"A friend in need is a friend indeed,"
has been amply proven in your bear-
ing towards each and all of us in this
community, but we feel certain that
our loss will be Brussels gain.
Though we will miss you very much
we are glad to think that you are not
going so far away as to prevent you
from returning to visit us occasionally.
In token of our esteem we beg Mr.
Fraser to accept this chair, Mrs,
Fraser to accept this couch and Miss
Ella this bracelet, not for their in-
trinsic value but as a slight remem-
brance to carry with you to y
n hour new
home with the hest wishes of your old
neighbors of the 2nd of Grey.
Though the circling flight of years
may find us
Far apart or severed more and more
Yet the farewell always lies behind tie
And the welcome always lies before
Meanwhile God is leading surely,
slowly
Through the shadows with a hand of
love
To the house where 'mid the myriads
holy
Only welcomes wait us both above.
Signed on behalf of Your Neighbors
JOHN MOBWEN
Rosi. J. MOLENNAN.
Mr. Fraser made a brief fitting reply
in which he reciprocated the good
feeling expressed in the address and
the receipt of the fine gifts. A most
enjoyable time was spent by the com-
pany in music, social chat, games,
lunch, etc., and many good wishes
