An hour' or so later R. B. Holmes, salesman for Mi5. Daly, entered the garage to. take out a truck and was sunarised to see a man sitting in the 'car -:apparently asleep. He tried. to awaken hiin, blit was shocked to discoverthat he was dead. Mr. Brown was married last Wednes- day to Miss Mary Walker, daughter of James Walker, near Brucefield. No reason .can be assigned for the rash act as the unfortunate mail was in good financial circumstances.

She was a sister 'of Mr. John Medd of Exeter, formerly Hullett, who at- tended the funeral, which took place at Millbrook; "The pasting of Hannah kledd, re- lict of the late Alexander Ferguson, on Tuesday ,June 23rd, removes one of the best known and most highly respected residents of this district. She is a daughter of the late William Medd and his wife, nee Sarah Bieck - en, of Yorkshire, Eng., who came to this country over a century ago and settled in Cavan, just West of, the Widdis homestead, one mile East of Millbrook. They were among , the earliest pioneers of Cavan and helped to clear the- land and make Cavan township one of the best in the world, a an elar epee ire e- Deceased lady had been bright and fore some of the larger centres of i cheerful until her 96th birthday, and Huron Comity, having been chosen as site for a town by a celebrated Eng - Engineer named 13'4r -field, whose professional services the Baron de Folie ehlistedI1 conte to Canada and select a suitable site in the territory of the Canada Company for the build- ing of a town. It was in 1828 that ar- rangements were made between the baron and the chief officers of the 1 Canada Company and the following year Mr. Bayfield came' out and af- ter looking over the' vast territory then owned by this company, select- ed this site, and -in 1830 Baron cle Voile purchased from ;he Canada Company at 3s ed per acre 1,500 acres on each side sof the stream which here empties into Lake Huron, which, as well as the village, received the name of 'Bayfield. This was laid out in town plots its {832 but no building was done until 1835, •when a clearing was made on the south side of the river, where a log house was erected and oc- cupied by a man by the name of Riley, who boarded the men who were getting out timber and clearing land for the owner. Building event on slowly and on the baron's death in 1836 timbers. which had been got out for the building of mills, piers, store- houses, etc., were found to be rotting nn the` river banks. Contracts had 'teen let for the erection of these buildings to one William Gray, but owing to the baron's death:delay was caused. Afterwards under' the dine - tion of the young baron, William Allen of Guelph carried out some of the original plans. A dam had 51 - read been built across the river by Gray. E. 0.

It was her desire to live to celebrate her 90th birthday, and she was Re- lighted that this wish was granted her, but the over strain of the day seemed to be. too much for her and until Tuesday she gradually became weaker and she passed peacefully away. She is the eldest of a family of seven, and her mother having died at the age of 37, 75 years ago, made it incumbent upon her eldest daughter•. to loolc after the younger ones, and at the 'age of 15 years, it was no small task, but with . her cheerful manner she carried on the duties faithfully and well, until her mar- riage to the late Alex. Ferguson at the age of 19, about 70 years ago. Mrs. Ferguson, although having no children of her awn ,mothered four others, viz: her youngest sister, Mrs. Jos.` Ferguson, nee Alice Medd; a niece, Mrs. R. W. Clarke, nee Maggie Orr: a niece, Mrs. R. Newton, nee Lillie Orr; a niece, Mrs. S. E. Eakins, nee Ethel Ferguson . All these found Mrs. Ferguson as a godly mother should be. and all have had the ad- vantage of malting happy marriages. She also looked after her father, an invalid for 8 years before his death. Mrs. Ferguson was an Anglican bet fore her marriage, but since then has been ;' a nteinber of the Methodist Church, and assisted.in •all the work of, the church: She had a very sweet voice and was a member and leader of the choir .for, many years. She sang a few of her favorite songs (by request) on her birthday, for those who called, and they marvelled at the sweetness and elearness of her voice at such, an age: Mrs: Ferguson was ever ready to help those in dis- tress or illness. She tvas indeed a true "Mother in Israel," Mr. and Mrs. Eakins were like her "own" children to her and site was just 58 faithful to them as their own moth- ers.

There is a good road to follow. You don't need to stay on the provincial highways. The county ;roads in most parts of the Province are in fine condition and lead to beauty spots you do not know. Take a few days off in your car. Take the family with you. In every direction you will see wonderful scenery rivers and lakes—hills and valleys—beautiful farm country and beautiful towns. Ontario's highways are a welcoming challenge to you and other motorists. Use them, but use them sanely. See the country as you go. Drive moderately.. You cannot make any speed records, although you may break , speed limits. Your fast driving tears up the road sur- face which you and other users of theroads must replace. 'There is no magic about road repair work. It costs hun- dreds of thousands of dollarsa year, and the money comes out of your pocket and those of your neighbours. In your own interest you should be careful about need- lessly doing damage. The Government is certain of the co-operation of most users of the roads by driving at moderate speeds as pro- vided by the law.
