IF you have not already joined Brus- sels Horticultural Society do so at once and share in the advantages. $r.00 is the membership fee and four options are given each member in securing bulbs, shrubs, flowers or orchard supplies. Now is the time to add your name, IF Premier Borden could be persuaded to undergo a change of heart on the Woman Suffrage question and thereby join hands with Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who has recently been converted, there might be room to hold a non-political love feast in the parliament buildings at Ottawa with "Blest be the tie that binds" as the first number on the pro- gram.

WILMtlTT Agricultural Society held their Fall Fair at New Hamburg. One innovation was the presenting of a fret ticket to every school pupil in the Dis- trict. Ticket had to be signed by pupi sad teacher before presentation at the gate. It worked well as people seldom refuse to use complimentary pasteboards. Admissions outdid the previous year's record. The boys and girls are the hope of the community and it is a good atttnt to cater to them. Another feature b% the above mentioned Society was the mailing of r,000 postcard invitations to the people of the surrounding com- munity stating the special features of the Fair.

WE believe women should have equal privileges with men in the exercise of the franchise, not only in municipal af- fairs but in parliamentary elections as well. Many an abuse would be speedily redressed if the fair sex were permitted to mark a ballot. The day is not distant, we believe, when this de- sired mark of progress will eventuate but in the meantime everybody favor- able to such legislation should "put a flea in the ear" of the law carvers as to what their duty is in the matter. On- tario needs to get a bustle on or they will he tail enders in the van of progress.

ARE you going to have animals in shape to exhibit at the Winter Fair to be held at Guelph next December? Some- times folks say when they return from Spring, Fall or Winter Fairs "I bad bet- ter stuff 10 my stable or hen house than took the awards." That may be true but perhaps if your display were ranged up at the Fair the Judges might not be of your mind. Be that as it may com- petition leads to greater successes and a person will learn more as to desirable points when his stock is entered than when he is merely a sightseer. One es• sential to the promotion of a good Fair is to have a large number of exhibits and keen but good natured rivalry. Some fellows taut all the red tickets and if they don't get them they seem to think the Judge was no good or else he was bought up. Not Bad Plans It's not a bad plan to keep knitting, when we have a moment or two, in- stead of just aimlessly sitting and thinking thoughts dark navy-blue ; so many brave fellows ate needing a new pair of socks in their kit; so many good causes are pleading for us to be doing our bit. We maybe can't hand- le a rifle, but the work that we might be upon, though seeming W us but a trifle, might help sotneone else "caress on." We not a bud plan to be cheer- ful, to now and then tackle a song, for theee days so many' are tearful and sad as they journey along ; so many we see broken•heatted, o'etwhelmed by their burden of grief, now mourn- ing dear ones departed, and our song may bring them relief, They're find- ing the journey so lonely, the hills all so heavy to climb, and it may be that you, and you only, can hearten them up at this time, So it's not a bad plan at this season, when war and death gather tltefe spoil, to try and keep busy, in reason, and to smile if we can as we toil ; it may. be, to -day or to- morrow, some heart that is ready to break, bowed down by the weight of its sorrow, may be healed by the (As fart we Make, - SUDDEN DEATH OF DN.

Crescent, of October Oth, gives the following sad but interesting particulate of the sud- den demise of Dr. T. Lowthian, broth. er to Mrs. Geo. Rogers, now of Port- age -la -Prairie and uncle to Mrs. A. 0, Dames, of Brussels ;- Saturday afternoon the town was shocked when the wot'd flashed over telephone and feom one to another that Dr. Lowthian was dead. He had been among men, het two and a half hours before, laughing and joking in his usual happy, friendly manner. He was found by Miss Rogers, the re- lief telephone operator, whom Mrs. Lowthian called and requested to step to the doctor's office to see if it was locked, ae she had called the office twice and had received no response and had telephoned the drugstore and could trot locate him. Mise Bogeys found the door unlocked and upon en- tering saw the doctor sitting at his desk with his head testing on the back of his chair as'if sleeping. Upon go- ing to biro she found him cold in death. Miss Rogers phoned Mre, Lowthian the doctor was there, but Ite had passed away -he was dead. No one but those who have suffered a like experience can realize the shock his wife suffered. It was but a few moments when friends were at hand, and Mrs. Lowthian had the doctor laid on the couch, and a hyperdermic administered hoping that he had not expired, but the doctor was beyond help -he was gone. A. stretcher was procured and he was taken to his late home. Wednesday morning he told his wife that he felt he had a slight touch of angina pectoris, but after taking two different remedies, the pain pass- ed away, Mrs. Lowthian had planned to go to Saginaw that morning where Mies Lola was to meet her. The doc- tor insisted that she should go as ar- ranged, promising that he would re- main at Mrs. Maybelle Lowthian's which he did during the day. Thurs- day he attended patients at the office part of the day but took a large dose of medicine Thursday evening and sent his regrets to the Community Club which was holding its first meet- ing that evening. Friday he remain- ed at home by the fire, only going out a few minutes after the supper hour. Saturday morning he seemed quite like himself and with his wife had taken a short drive and after the time for the mail to be distr ibnted came up town. In the drug store he was jolly- ing with John Kemp, aftetwaida go- ing to Karl Black's barber shop. While in the chair Mr. Black observed he was pale and after using three hot towels be found be could tint bring the color to his fare, and remarked to the doctor about it.

April 8, 1872, he was united in marriage to Memel Morrie, second daughter of Dr. Wen. M. Morris, of Landon, Ont. The sante year he tante to Caro, whet e he clerked in a ding etrlre for five years and took up the study of medi- cine through hie wife's infiaenee. studying with her father, Win. M. Morris, M. D•, of Trinity College, Dublin, He took his first course of lectures at the University of Michigan and graduated from the Univetsity of Buffalo in 1880, and was one of the first in a class of fifty-six, He came In Unionville In 1880, im- mediately after his genduation and fro 36 year; Dr. Lowthian has been the beloved doctor of many people in this town and vicinity, He has always from the first year of hie residence here had a very large practice. Among these people he will be gt•eally missed as the family doctor is the one nearest and dearest to the family whom he serves. Many tender ties bind his memory to residents of this locality, Be possessed a disposition that endeared him to children and many are the adults who relate pities - ant remembrances of their childhood days in which De. Lnwthittn played a prominent part. He always had a pleasant smile, a joke or friendiy greeting to all, no matter the weather or how buy he might be. Dr, Low- thian was always interested in the welfare of the town and had faithfully and conscientiously worked for the public good, while serving as a village officer, sometimes as councilman and several terms as village President. He was the father of three children, Mary S. M., Mrs, (Dr.) J. Jacklin, of Lansing, Miss Lola Lowthian, R. N., surgical nurse, of Bay City Hospital, and DeMnut Lowthian, whose tragical death occurred July 4, 1014, The mother of these children died bele, March 4th, 1888, and was buried in the Caro cemetery. February 12, 1908, Ire was mat tied to Miss Mary Brookfield, B. A., of the University of Chicago. Hie was a happy home. He loved his home, he was contented and de• lighted with hie surroundings and was enjoying life perfectly, He was always the same in the home and on the stt eet, always pleasant, exception- ally agreeable. The daughters have a beautiful nternot'y of their father. In all their life they have no recollection of his ever having spoken an unkind or harsh word to them, or having laid a hand on thein, except in love and kindness. Miss Lola was an excep- tionally kind and devoted daughter, and her suffering and grief knew no hounds when she reached hone and found her father was no more, that the spirit of her belnved father had been returned to its Maker Her fath- er had been her all in all, they enjoy- ed the perfect confid, 1 t e of owe another. Beside the wile and two daughters, two grandsons, Timothy Lowthian and Darrell Jacklin and a daughter-in-law, Mrs, Maybelle Low- thian, there is one sister, Mrs. Jennie Rogers, of Portage La Prairie, Mani- toba, left to mourn the lose of an af- fectionate and tender huehend and art indulgent and kind fathet, a devoted and loving grandfather.

Englewood, Ill, - "While going through the Change of Life I suffered with headaches, ner- vousness flashes of heat, and I suffered so much I did not know what I was doing at times, I spent $1900 on doc- tors and not one did me any good. One day a lady called at my house and said she had been as sick as I was atone time, and Lydia E. Pink - ham's Vegetable Compound made her well,ao I took it and now I am just as well as I ever was.

He was a man who attracted attention where ever he went for his fine appearance. He was among his profession through- out the Thumb and his opinions were held in the highest respect. He was the oldest practicing physician in the county. But recently he had purchased Mr. Spring's interest in the drug store building and last week Monday, the workmen began remodelling the lower floor for a modern office apartments, which when completed would be more convenient not only for him but for his patients. The funeral was held Tuesday at 11:00 o'clock at his late home, when the house and yard were filled with sympathising friends, who came to pay their last respects to their beloved and honored doctor and friend. The casket was surrounded and covered with the most beautiful flowers and floral pieces: Rev. W. H. Gallagher, of the Episcopal church, of Caen, of which faith he was a believer, officiat- ed.

Convention was magnificent success and everyone prottoutfced it the best of the kind ever held in the Presby- tery. Ladies of Knox church enter- tained not only the numerous dele- gates from outside, but also all who came from the vicinity and the supper hour was a pleasant social time. Delegates voted the ladies of Knox "all right” both as cooks and hostes- ses. Speakers gave meet instructive and inspiring addresses. Those who took part were Revs. Bradley, McCulloch, and Duncan with Mies Rutherford. Dr, Shearer and Rev. Jae.
