They often do not get the care they should. Dirt accumu-
lates, the watch gets erratic, perhaps stops altogether.

DAVE SOURS NARROW ESCAPE.
David Sours, who is doubly affiictt--
ed in that he can neither hear nor
talk, but who is an active. and her
duetrious member of the Knitting
g
Company's operating - eratin ' stale, had a
Thursday last in his 65th year. He last, While crossing the railway
track at the station he was run into
was born in Mullett and lived neatly
all his life in that township, coining
into Crimen less than two years ago.
His wife, who was Miss Nettie Pugs-
ley, died about eight nears age.
There were no children. Mr. Archer
was in Poor health for several months
and when be became too ill to; help
himself Mr. 'and Mrs. R. A. Govier
took him into their home and made
his declining days of the past fops
months easy. He was a good' natur-
ed man and as, honest as could be.
The funeral took place on Saturday
afternoon, the services being conduct-
ed by Rev. S. J. Algin whose church
the deceased attended. The pall-
bearers were : John Farquhar,
George M. Farguhar, George Farqu-
har, John 13arland, 'Phomas Mason
and Onslow Crich.
Mr. and Mrs. Gci:ier say nice things
of the neighbor, who also were grind
to Mr. Archer when it was most
appreciated. -
THE KILTIES WELL SATISFIED.
There was a great big attendance
at the lawn pasty given by the ISitty The Pc,'.ice 11Ia f Crates Ae.eociation
Band on the Public school grounds on is a new organira dn, having been
Thursday evening last and if the ' formed only a few weeks ago with S.
J. Andrews, Clinton; as president ;
'a:
of Paris as vice and
W. W. Patterson
W. 10, Kelly of Goclerich as secretary.
The membership is about forty,
spread pretty well over the Province.
Though young the Association has
a grievance—it was that probably
which brought it into being—that is
it wants to be put on salary instead
of having to depend upon more or
less uncertain fees.
Furthermore, ft wo'ald like some-
what more uniformity in .penalties pre-
e^ribed; For instances, the statutes
clearly define the penalties for illegal
booze selling, so much for the first
offence, ea much for the seeond in-
fraction, etc. But take the case of
theft. The judge in Bruce county
might give the offender two years,
but here in Huron his honor might
make the penalty in an equally, ser -
ions case three months.
This is one of ,the matters the An
sociatiou asked the Government, at
the interview held at the Parliament
Building, Toronto, yesterday to deal"
with.
As to salary, that was a mere in-
cident which was probably worked in
by a, train and both David and his
bicycle were thrown beer the em-
bankment but fortunately neither
were much damagdll, David ljeing ole
to wheel home at his usual pace.
