In 1880 he was united in marriage to Miss Emily Stephenson, who with their one son, John, who resides on the homestead in Stanley, and two daughters, Anna and Myrtle, at home, survives him. Their eldest son died nearly four years ago, which was a keen blow to them. Two bro- thers also survive, Wilson and George Armstrong of the Goshen line, • Mr. Armstrong was a Methodist in religion, being a member of Goshen church before coining to Clinton and since that being connected with On- tario street church. He was an Or- angemen, also, having joined the Order as a young man and since tsv lith is e n� h missed. two b joining had of July celebrations, one of which was this year, when he was too i11 to attend, Its politics he was a Con- servative. He was always interested in public affairs and served at the council board in Stanley for more than one tern, Mr, Armstrong was a very soci- able, friendly man, and made friends wherever he went. He was a most affectionate husband and father and was devoted to his home and family. IIe was invariably cheerful and thus his presence brought happiness into the circles in which he moved. His illness was borne with patience. and he was happy in the contemplation of his passing out of this life into a fuller one. He will be sadly missed in his hone and amongst his intimate friends. The funeral took place from the fancily home on Tuesday afternoon to Bayfield cemetery. The services were conducted' by the Rev. S. An- derson, itis pastor, assisted by the Rev. T. J.

The Scout camp at Bayfield is a very lively spot these days and the boys are thoroughly enjoying them- selves. "They are a fine •bunch of boys, too," so say those in charge, who are also managing to get a good deal of pleasure out of it—also a fine coat of tan. There are over sixty boys so it is a fairly large camp. Each days' proceedings were care- fully planned and the plans are rigidly carried out, the followingbe- illg the order: Daily Routine. 6.30 a, in.—Reveille, bathing pa- rade. 7.30—Br'eakfatst. S.30—Tent inspection; Flag Rais- ing; General Parade; Morning Prayers: Bible Class. 9.30—Scout Training. , 11.15—Bathing Parade. 12. 00—Dinner. 12,30—Compulsory Rest hour. 1.30 n. m.—Free Time -.- Hikes, Gaines, Scouting, Boating, etc. 4..00—Bathing Parade. 0.00—Supper. 0.30—Sports. 8.30—Caron Fire, 9.00—Evening Prayers , 9.30—Lights out. There are fifteen bell tents for sleeping, six boys being assigned to a tent. A largo dining and quarter- masters' tent end quarters ;for the officers;- complete the accosnodation. The food is plain but wholesome, there is an, abundance of exercise and that, with the open air life, makes bed a very desirable place when night falls. After ars hour spent arnuntl the camp fire and the evening prayos's are said and the bugle sounds "lights out," sixty young heads seek their pillows and very shortly one hunched and twenty young eyes close and soon silence reigns. On Sunday afternoon the Seotits intend having a "Flag Parade," when a regular order of service will ' be held on Clan Gregor Square, Hay- field. Printed programs have been provided and it is expected that a large number besides the Scouts will be present at the service, which will be in charge of .the officers of the camp, Rev. S. E. MgKagnsey beteg commandant, arid Rev. R. C, Pitts of Bayfield, chaplain. The service cem- seances at three o'clock Visitors to the camp, who. have been coming in considerable numbers ever since Sunday, declare that the location is ideal and that they ere pleased both with the program wltictl is being carried out and with the happy, , carefree, well-tuned appear- ance r- anee cf the boys.
