(Crowded. out last week)
The late John Arthur, shoe mer-

was a lifelong • resident of Auburn.
He was born on, June 30th, 1868 on
the farm that forms part of lot 32,
fourth concession of East Wawanosh.
His parents were Andrew Arthur and
Sarah Reith who, coming from Aber-
deen, Scotland, in 1854 settled first in
Oxford county. In 1859 they moved li"ellow,'Goderich.

At the evening meeting a greeting
was given by the pastor, Rev..WI. P.

The election of officers resulted as
follows: Honorary president, W. G,

treasurer, A. M. Robertson, Goderich.
The convention placed on record its
hearty appreciation of the services of
W T. Pcllow.
Mr, Davis, representative. of the
Bible Society, made a special appeal
for funds to .cover the deficit of that
organization.,
George Stanley, of Lucan, the prin-
cipal speaker of the evening, declared
temperance is the greatest question
ever found on the agenda of any soc-
iety.
"The forces that the temperance
people have to fight are the brewers
•and distillers, who have put their
hand to every act on the Government
books," he continued. •"The law will
not be broken by the temperance peo-
ple, who, though they do not believe
in Government control, will give it a
fair -trial. Beer by the glass is where
the fight stands ,now."
In closing, Mr. Stanley referred to
the great need of Sabbath observance.
The young people of to -day, ,he said,
were much the seine as those of past
generations and pretty much what
their parents and the church make
them. He urged parents to make com-
panions of their children and to bring
thein to church with them.
The following resolutions . were
passed.
"That in this jubilee year of Con-
federation this convention express„its
loyalty to our country and our deter-
mination to serve it in every way. pos-
sible.”
That we 'reaffirm our stand.re
temperance, :public . dance halls and
the use of cigarettes."

SAMUEL S. STURDY, FORMER
REEVE OF GODERICII
TOWNSHIP. IS' CALLED
Samuel,$. Sturdy, a native on of
Goderich township, having been born.
over eighty-four years ago on the
farm on which hespent his whole life,
passed away on Friday last sitting
quietly in his chair. He had been
failing in 'health, growing feebler- as
the days and weeks crept by, but he
had not complained of illness and had -
been up and about having eaten his
breakfast as usual the morning of his -
death.
The deceased was a son of the late
Hugh Sturdy, one of Goderich town-
ship's earliest settlers; and grew up
on the farm on which he died. He
took an active part in public affairs
in his younger manhood, having been
a member of the township council and
was reeve for some years. He was
an Anglican in religion, having been
for years a member of St. John's
church, Holnresville.
He is survived by three sons, and
The convention, iii 0 resolution, ex-
pressed hearty appreciation of Dr.
Irwin's "sane, sensible address and
the high service to which hehad been
ached: ,
Air address by Rev.' W. P. Lane on
"Total Abstinence" followed. Every
total abstaine , he. said, helps to kill
the liquor traffic; every man who is
not ,keeps it alive; every man who is
not a total abstainer makes the high-
way an unsafe place to go on,
Mr; Lane recently drew up a total
abstinence pledge which' was indorsed'
by his official board and signed by
the majority of his congregation, This
pledge so commented itself to the con-
vention that it'was unamiously de-
cided to send a copyto every minister•
in the county, in the hope that their
congregations would .co-operate and in
this way solve existing problems, One
of the speakers hoped that, after four
years of the experiment and exper-
ience of Government control the peo-
ple of Ontario would have prohibition
for their true sentiment.

1R0 OLD BOYS' ' PIC
HURON
A SUCCESS
The annual picnic of the Huron Old
Boys' Association of Toronto was held
in areas 3 and 4 of the Exhibition
Grounds, on Friday last, and was a
decided success, being attended' by
1-Iuronites hailing from every conces-
sion in the Old County. •
Former residents, from the north of
the county made the biggest. showing,
Wangharn and Brussels being excep-
tionally well represented.
The weather was all that, could 'be• •
desired, and the location, the most
beautiful, perhaps, in the Province of
Ontario. It is • an eye' opener for
newly arrived Huronites in the city,
to come to our picnic, for the fist
tirire, and nota the beautiful sur-
roundings.
The games were both livelyand in-
teresting., and under the direction of
B. H. McCreath;: were run off in quick
succession.
The supper was served in the large
Transportation Building, tables being
set for hundreds. The arrangements
were:in- the hands of Mrs -R. C. King
and her efficient.committee, and suf-
fice it to say: that the service could
not have been excelled. When Mrs.
King. undertakes to do anything, it
means sure success.

fort is being tirade to deprive the citi-
zens of town and district of the privil-
ege of doing 'business at' the local
postoffice on Wednesday afternoons, a.
convenience we have enjoyed for
hundreds of years, the writer consid-
ers it but fair to the citizens to an-
announce
that a member of the staff'
ceived from the proper authorities to.
announe that a member of the staff:
-wilt be on duty from 2 to 7 every
Wednesday afternoon to transact
business' (except Money Orders). %It
is to be regretted that this service is
being given grudgingly with the idea
of closing the office up tight as soon
