A WORTztx PioNEER.—Thursday of
last week a well known and most
highly eeteemerl resident of Uullett
tewnehip passed; away in the person of
James Graeby, •who had attained to
the patriarchal age of 01
years, 10
months and 12 days. He had been in
failing health d m
ing the past few
months but had been remarkably well
for a man of his years. The funeral
took place last Saturday to Burns'
cemetery, the service being conducted
by Rev. O. O. Koine, Londeeboro', de-
ceased's pastor. Mr. Graeby was born
in England and came to Buffett town-
ship 63 years ago where he lived con-
tinuously. He issurvived by his wife,
whose maiden name was Catharine
Woods, and 4 sons viz :—Joseph and
James, Morris township ; Charles,
Blyth ; and Thomas, at home. Mr.
Graeby was an industrious man, a
good manager, ever obliging and
readand to' aid any a d e very good
cause and was respected by all who
knew him. He was a member of
Londesboro' Methodist chinch. To
his bereft partner, who travelled life's
pathway for over 60 years with hire,
will be accorded broad sympathies:
Mrs. Graeby is past 80 yearn of age.
Deceased was one of Hullett's
pioneers who were as flue men and
women as ever settled in any com-
munity. Their Memory is full of
worthy deeds.

Investors!
Increase Yor Intarest !
Interest rates are higher now than at any time in recent years.
The British Government have increased their rate to 4a%; the
Canadian Government to 5%. Has your interest increased ?
I can invest your money now as I have done for others before. I
make it my business to study investments. It is all I do so Ido it
as thoroughly an possible. Those who invested money through me
lastyear, while I was in Brussels, have done even better than they
expected ; not one is receiving less than 7%. Does this rate appeal
to you ?
Do you know that while yonr money is doubling itself at 3% that
it will become five times as great at 7% Think what a difference
this will make to the futute of yourself or of your family.
You will be satisfied with the results I can obtain for you. I could
not do business as I do if it was otherwise. One disappointed in-
vestor in a place where I am known, as I am in Brussels, would
ruin any prospects I have for further success in this field.
You can do business with me by mail just as easily and
just as safely as 'by means of a pereonal interview. Just
drop me a card and I will send you further particulars. The
cost of this card will be the only expense that you will have in eon-
nection with any transaction you may have with me, while your
profits will be as large as are possible without endangering the
safety of your money.
My present address is SCOTIA JOT„ ONT. T will be back in
Brussels later but you cannot afford to wait until then. That is
why I am calling your attention to this now.

Official report of Aug. 5th, tells of
the death of a Galt soldier.—Pte.
Richard George Barnes, killed in ac-
tion with the 4th Batt., formerly of
the 11 Batt. After weeks of un-
certainty the parents of Pte. R. G.
Barnes, of Galt, learned that he had
been killed in action. They heard un-
officially previously that he had been
wounded, also in the same way that
he was missing but could get no word
of his whereabouts or hie condition
until official notification came of his
death some weeks ago. A letter ad-
dressed to Pte. Barnes was returned
to Galt marked "killed in action" but
even then hope was held out by some
that there was a mistake. The heart
broken parents received word from
the Militia department that their eon,
aged 22, had' been killed in action on
May29th.
He was born and
raised in
Galt, enlisted. in Winnipeg and went
with the first contingent. Deceased
was a nephew of John and Mrs. Gor-
salitz and Daniel and Mrs. Neable,
12th Con., Grey, where he visited
frequently. He was a brave lad and
an only child of Mrs. Barnes, of Galt,
to whom we extend our sincere
sympathy.

No small excitement was caused
here last Saturday over an assault
upon Win. Eckmier by Edward
Woods. Trouble arose over 14 bead
of the former's cattle getting into the
latter's field. Stock was impounded
in village pound and $14.00 chalked
up against them. It turned out that
expense was on Woods, however, be-
cause it was his share of the line fence
that cattle went through. To get
satisfaotiou (of a very poor kind) the
attack was made and considerable in-
jury dole before a atop was put to the
fracas by passersby. The case came
before Reeve Leckie, at Brussels, last
Tuesday evening with the result that
Woods was sent to Goderich for trial
for aggravated assault. Mr. Eckmier
is an inoffensive Ulan between 05 and
70 yeara of age while his antagonist is
mach younger and more athletic. A.
speedy trial has been asked for ae it is
a busy season of the year for farmers.
Looks as if Ethel will have to have a

Was considerably battered up in the
attack,

To the Editor dltor o2 Tun PoeT
DEAR SIR.—Since coming to Brus-
sels for the purpose of forming a vocal
class, I have learned that statements
have been made by some parties, with
the intention, I believe, of doing me
an injury, to the effect that I am a
German, and worse than that, Pro-
German in my sympathies in the
present world conflict.
I wish, therefore to say that any re-
ports along this line are absolutely
untrue as I am now and always have
been a
British
, cot
subj born in Lon-
don, England, of British parentsand
lived there for some 21 years and have
resided in Canada for the past? years.
One of my brothers has been in the
British army for the past 10 years,
being a Lieutenant in the let King's
Dragoon Guards, and is now at the
front endeavoring to do his "bit" in
upholding the honor of the British
flag.
Herat that this explanation will
satisfy those jealous minded individu-
als, and put at reef any further re-
ports of this nature.
Yours truly,
FRANK WEAVER,
Graduate Guild Hall School,
London, England.
