DEMISE OF RICHARD BIELBY.—The announcement of the death of Richard Bielby, which event occurred at his hone in Keltield, Sask., came as a distinct and painful shock to the Whole community. Mr. Bielby's health, for some months, had not been all that his friends could desire but nothing of a serious nature was ap- prehended until Monday, Jan. 8th, when symptoms of pneumonia ap- peared and in spite of all that could be done for him her ales!! grew gg P worse, passing peacefully away in the early hours of the 15tH. He was born in the township of Vaughan, not far from Toronto in March 1872. While quite young he removed with hie parents to the township of Hullett, Huron County. Later the family re- moved to the vicinity of Brussels, which was Mr, Bielby's home until about the year 1902 when he came to 'Western Canada. For some peeve he resided near Sintalnta, Sask., event- ually, however, he settled farther West in the vicinity of Kelfield, Sask., which was his home until the time of his death. Mr. Bielby married Miss Isabel Botz, of Brussels, the ceremony being performed in Saskatoon, in August 1918. By diligence and care- fulness in whatever business came under his hand secured for him a con- siderable measure of success in his chosen occupation of farming, giving him a prominent place in this respect in to community of fan niers, progres- sive and successful above the average. He never became so absorbed in his own affairs, however, as to neglect or overlook his duties as it citizen, being always ready to promote every move- ment for the material, social, moral or religious welfare of the community in which he lived and the claims of hifinanity in general. Having been converted when about 12 years of age he identified himself with the church in early life and consistently inain. tained his Christian profession to the end. Until he came to Relfleld he was a member of the Methodist church but finding that under the system of denominational co-operation . the Methodists had withdrawn from that district he became a momber of St, Paul's Presbyterian Church of that race. The respect and high esteem in which he was held by the mem- bers of that church is attested by his election to the Eldership in 1014. That respect and esteem he continued to hold till his death. The sympathy felt for the family in their bereave- ment was intensified by the fact that on the day of hie death Mrs. Bielby was stricken down with the sante disease that had proved fatal to her husband. Besides a large circle of friends and acquaintances, both in Address and Presentation to Hon. resident Leckie By East Huron Agricultural Society Directors. JOBN LDCK I , D Thursday evening of last week the officiary of East Baron Agricultural Society, together with their ladies took possession of the fine home of I Leckie, Hon.

Black was asked to read a letter from a former Vice - President of the Society in the person of George Robb, now of St. Catharines, which was as follows :— The Secretary of the Agricultural Society, Brussels, DEAR SIR,—I very much regret that Mrs. Robb and myself will be unable to be present at the presentation to our old and most esteemed ft lend, Mr. Leckie. We all know he has been a most valuable member, not only of the Agricultural Society but in every move that tended to make old Brus- sels and its make-up a success. Whenever any help or advice was needed "John" was always there with the goods. Although absent I trust this note will convey cur good wishes and our hearts will be with you when you gather around him and sing heartily "For he is a jolly good fel- low." Yours truly, THE Rolm FAMILY, 48e Wellington street, St. Oatharines. Presideut Ferguson read the follow- ing address to Mr. Leckie and Vice - President Archibald presented a purse of gold Mr. John Leckie, Brussels, DEAR MR.

Dur- ing his residence here he had endeavor- ed to do his duty as a citizen and it had been a great joy to serve and be associated with the many manly men in the various walks of life. What- ever little he had done had been in the hope of bettering conditions for the public and felt very grateful for the honors conferred upon him in his long life, In conclusion he hoped this would not be the last occasion of their coming to enjoy an evening at his home. Chairman called upon F. S. Scott, A. O. Dames, P. A. McArthur,. Alex. Stewart, P. Scott and Walter Broad - foot, who responded in brief eulogistic and reminiscent speeches, relating in- cidents in the years flown by in con- nection with Mr. Leckie's praise- worthy and esefnl career of over half a ceutury in connection with the Agricultural Society, Mrs, P. Scott made a short comen. men tary speech relative to the pleas- ure it had been for the ladies to assist in the evening's preparations. The company joined hands as they sang, "Should mild acquaintance be forgot." Balance of the evening was spent in games, music and social chat and as the company separated the sentiment of all was "Happy to meet, sorry to part, hoping to tweet again." Mr. Leckie, who will be 84 years of age if spared to next June, has always been ready to do his full duty as a worthy citizen and did what he thought to be in the best interest of Brussels not only in connection with Agricultural Society, on whose mem- bership troll his name was inscribed on its of anizati nn but i otic coming organization,c mm u f 13 the railway to town, in his mercantile and banking and minty sided business experiences and his long connection with Municipal affairs of Brussels, To -day after the lapse of long years he njoys the respect and esteem of both Id and young for his many gond tralities of head and heart, Mr, Leckie has made large investments in this locality and has been one of the largest taxpayers in the municipality.
