Cowan of town 'has received word of 'the passing of her brother, Mr. Samuel Vivian, 81,. vet- eran printer, on (Saturday night at his hone in 'Winnipeg, Man. Mr. Viv- ian had been in i11 health for several weeks and his death was not alto- gether unexpected. Born in 'Stratford, 'February 23nd, '1368Mr. !Vivian .Was a son of the date Mr. and Mrs. John Vivian, pion- eer 'residents of 'Stratford. He served his apprentice on .the Stratford Bea - can 'and at the age of 33 secured a position on the staff el the Toronto. Globe. It was while 'he was employ- ed there that George :Brown, one of the founders of the Toronto paper and a 'Father of Confederation, was fatally shot by a 'negro emiployee, A1 - though he had lived in the Wrest since 1119011' ''where he .had carried on his trade -until a few years ago when he retired, Mr. Vivian Often talked about his :hone province and often recounted how Mr. 'Brown met hit death, A negro employee, named Bentley, he often recalled, . became intoxicated, allowing the boiler in the 1Glolbe to go out of commission and was ,discharged. He 'sought yens geneance 'by shooting 'Brawl), and wits Pater convicted of murder and hanged. The late Mr. Vivian was ane of the oldest recruits accepted for service overseas 'its 'the Great W'ar, signing with the 2Lillst battalion when 64 years of age. He saw service for al- most lour l-most'four years With the Allied Army. Mr. and 'M'rs. Vivian celebrated their 50th wedding i•nniversary some years ago.

Mange's For Poultry The chief value of roots as a poul- try feed lies in the fact that they can be stared during the winter months and fed over the .period during which fresh green feeds are not available, They should not be considered in any way as a complete substitute foe fresh green ,fends, chiefly 'because they are deficient iii vitamin content. The anti -neuritic and antiscorbutic vitam- ins are present in only the slightest traces, while the anti -rachitic vitamin is' entirely lacking: Ln comparison, fresh clover, one of the most com- monly used green feeds, contains all three in abundance. The ohief func- tion of. maugels and roots in general is the supplying of'succulence to the ration. It has been .found that by us-' 'ing niangels andsup.plenienting with a regular dose of Fpsom s'a'lts, lay- ing birds will came through the win- ter in fairly. good shape. HULLETT. Although the roads were covered with ice and travel by horse or by motor very difficult, a large nunilber of property owners ft+ori all ,parts of the township gathered at the Forest- ers Hall in Millburn la's't Saturday Jan, 6, to hear a review of the deain question. The Hullett towrus'hilp coun- cil and officials were present and sev- eral officials and others from 12'c- Kill•o'p. Some o'f those ,present had expected the engineer to be at the meeting, but it was announced it would have cost $20, Before the close of the afternoon, Reeve Lelper of tHulleitt announced that his council at their first meeting of the year on Monday last, Jan, 8, . Would ,p'ass the bylaw for repairing and cleaning out the Kin'but'n 'Swamp drain. Both Mr, Leiip•er and Reeve Eckart of Me IKi'llola who Was present, s'ta'ted they understood none of the mu'nicipali'ties would appeal against the work or assessme'n'ts. Municipal councils have six weeks in Which to make an ap- peal, according to the statement, and individual landowners had 30 days in which they could apipea1 against the whole work or any part of it. The work can be completed by this Fall ff there were no appeals, Reeve Leiper thought. According to the engineer's pians the drain will start at lot 7 (west of MdG're'gor's bridge) and end in the ninth conces- sion. Total length is 40,550 feet or about 74 miles, The cost is estimat- ed by the engineer, Me, George A. 3toCuib'b'in of C'hatha'm, at $27,310, divided among the following munici- palitfesr 1-1ullett-43,61713; McKitdop— $211,2116; Logan. -411053; Grey -46615.- '50; Tuckersninih- 1h0122150.; Seaforth— $70. The assessment iii Seaforth is against the streets and roads. The entire engineer's report was not read, as i1 had been read at previous meet- ings, bat the more pertinent parts were gone over. One of the import- ant clauses is understood to provide that those receiving compensation are to be responsible for future care of the drain. Compensation will be al- lowed to those entitled to it in the ,form of taxes rebated each year as the money is received by instalments from the higher lands, and in some cases wilt amouait to aver $1y000, it is. said: Ratepayers say the essessaien't's will amount to approximately $46 on 100 acres. Mr. M. Armstrong had a number of questions to ask and thought the coinpensation should be registered against the upper lands. Reeve Leiper said he was advised that the engineer's report had the same effect unless the present law was changed. He said the engineer had beets up recently measuring the flow at three bridges, Quigley's, Mc- .Gregorls and Londesboro. At Landes- boro the flow was 40,000 cubic feet a second, on that day, -A conununica flop from the engineer was read say- ing that the scheme complied with the provisions of the Provincial Drainage Act for a 20% grant, To qualify for this, a petition must be filed with the Department of .Public Works before the final passing of the by-law. The Reeve thought a delega- tion might be necessary to bring the matter before the government and also the assistance o:f our local mem- ber, Mr. W. G. Medd, could be solicited. Upon a show of hands the meeting voted in favor of filing a petition. There was some discussion about a narrower bottom in certain instances. The profile o'f the actual work provides for a bottom 20 feet wide. The late John Roger of Mitch- ell did the first engineer's work on the present scheme but passed away before the drain was completed. The Reeve said that . among his papers a plan had been found which had call- ed for a 25 foot bottom, but Mr. Rogers had apparently discarded it as being too costly. The actual work is estimated as follows: 4,650 yards at 30o—$4305; 220 yards at 30'e--$1110; damages -8365; letting, etc.—$1160. Total.. -41S920.

The following poem was read by Miss Viola Clark at the gathering of the guests: "Dear hearts we can so very dimly know, 'The dreams that called you fifty years ago; We who have journeyed such a little way Toward the signpost you have reach- ed to -day; We are but novices at loving—how shall we Guess at the visions that your eyes can see. We have our hopes and longings! Ah, but you Are looking back on days we never knew; The promises that we still dimly sense Your hearts have proved then, by ex- perience,' Yes, from your loves' bright flame on that January morn, Things greater, deeper than wee knew were born; And yet because we love you will you take These golden blossoms for that sweet day's sake, In memory of the young loves' mar - eine bell, And of the Old Love that has worn so' well.
