A FINE YOUNG MAN DEPARTS THIS LIFE. -Thursday, September 16111, the heavenly Father's call home, came to James Gardiner, the esteemed son of Alex. and Mrs. Gardiner, of Walton, removing from the family circle and from the community one dearly be- loved in the prime of his young man- hood. As a young man he was esteemed for his integrity, industry and noble Christian b e 0 t o character. We feel sure that hie life work Christian deportment and early death will be an inspiration to our young people to live to achieve the best here and in glory. Most of the 85 years of his life were spent on the Gardiner er home- stead, McKillop. Upon resting a few years from the farm, he went to Peterboro, Hamilton and Winnipeg where he made rnany friends. His health began to fail, but he persevered in his work until he was compelled to qo to the hospital at Chicago last Spring where everything was done for him by his brother, Dr. John Gardiner and other competent medic- al skill. However it seemed the race of life was well run and inJuly,ac- companied - a corn anied byhis s dear mother and Dr. John, he as brought to the par- ental ar- t e 1ta1 home at Walton,an to re- spond to the Master's call ol home which carne Thursday of last week.

Olintgn REV, J08IA8 GrnMENE GALLED ROME, -In his 82nd year, and after almost 60 years in the Methodist ministry, Rev. Josiae Greene died at hie home here Monday morning from an illness lasting only a few weeks, Although superannuated for several years, he haspreached almost every Sunday during that time and his continuous activity WAS a surprise se to all who knew him. 3 years ago Brumfield Methodist Church was unable to get a preacher and Rev, Mr. Greene offered to fill the vacancy and during these years has faithfully performed the duties of preacher and pastor, driving from Clinton, a distance of 6 miles, through all kinds of weather. He was the father of all temperance work in this county and to his prayers and activities is largely due the ad. vanced position Huron County has reached to refusing to legalize the liquor traffic, being now under the 0. T, A.' He was also keenly interested in the work of the Lord's Day Alliance and the Bible Society, and had been the leading local spirit of these organizations. Two daughters sur- vive, Mrs. Dr. O. W. Thompson and Miss Beatrice, at home. Mr. Greene was born in Hamilton. The manager of the W. E. Sanford Company there,_ Joseph Greene, is a brother, Other brothers are : James, of Seattle ; and Richard, 'of Toronto. The wife of Rev, Dr. Hincks, Toronto, is a sister, as is also Mrs. 3.

The first car of wheat sold from the Regina District, and inspected at Winnipeg, on which a report has been made, graded No, 2 Hard. This is a record which has not been made up to the present Lima. R. A. Robinson, who lives g miles South of Regina and oper- ates his farm there, threshed his grain Sept. 1st, shipped one car Sept. end and on the eth iust, received his inspection return from the Regina Grain Co., giv- ing him a grade of No. 1 Hard. Mr. Robinson bas almost 20,o00 bushels of this particular wheat and has contracted to sell 6 carload of it to the Regina Grain Co. Balance be will not sell at present. This was the first car of wheat from the Regina District, handled by the Regina Grain Co. and the first time in the history of their business where a car has reached the highest grade. This is a story well worth telling. Mr. Robinson was a former McKillop boy. Huron Co.
