I15, to Mr. and Mrs, ,Edmund H. God kin, MelKillo;p, a son. COMMUNICATION To the Editor of The Seaforth News. (Dear Sir. !In regard to the couaecih lors of Huron carrying out of the 'business transactions of the County of Huron I must opine that every person leas a right to their own op- inion and as it hes been said that of8ficiels 'were not getting salaries high enough to keep the wolf from tiheir doors. As I understand it one of these officials' salaries is $11.,t209 and the other 3ll,3'00; if these officials are satisfied with the above salaries undoubtedly every other person should fall in alignment, IIt is, . be- yond my comprehension why anyone has the opinion that the salaries were too low; my opinion is these mention- ed salaries are amply sufficient for these officials 'so tide them over these' very dopressecl condition of the world at present. The county council has been blamed et times for the trouble that the county became involved in fast year over 'finances going astray, but that is such a formidable absurd- ity ,that it is a hundred per cent dif- ferent to my opinion, I certainly ab- solve the county councillors fro!tn any procedure that upheld any wrong- doing which caused the fatal crash in their financial affair's 'last year. I congratulate ex -warden Ballentvne and his council on the magnificent way they probed ieeo the matter of the crookedness of one offficial', which caused the whole trouble. at course they had to employ a chartered ac- countant to audit the books of the county, which were found in a de- ploralble .condition.

E. Eng- lish, bade farewell to the toils and worriment of earth to enter the cel- estial home -the palace not made with hands—the home .eternal where bliss, love and peace reign supreme throughout the countless ages. The funeral services for these 'worthy cit- izens were held ;on Sunday afternoon and were largely attended, the many friends of each gathering from far and near to pay their last respects to the memory of their loved ones, those whom' through the years of acquain- tance .they were ,pleased to count as true friends.

Gibbs as piano accompanist, reordered several selections during the services, Mason- ic brethren served as the pallbearers and escort and also conducted the services at the grave, interment being made in the Milo cemetery, The pall- bearers were: Sherman 'Jackson, A, !Simmons, Al. Reeves, Geo. Bergen, 7. R. Stover and Geo. Loy. Born in Canada James 'Ross a't the age of 118 migrated' 'to the United States with his parents, the fancily settling on a farm near Manchester, Kansas. There ,the family made their heme for a number of years. Later 'he went to California where he remained for a couple of years in the employ of a lumber company_ Returning to Kan- sas .he engaged in railroading enter- ing the employ of the Santa Fe with which company he remained for 43 years and 4 months, many years of such service .being spent on the branch running to this city, retiring from the service same three months ago. Janes Ross was married to Miss Mary A, Nical on Tan. 23, 1393, the ceremony taking place e \lenches- ter. To .this union one daughter was born, Mrs. Maty Hill of efiltonvale, who with the wife survives. Three grandchildren , three sisters — Mrs. Lettie Huntley and Mrs. 'Jas. Broad - foot of Manchester, an'd Mrs, Wil- liam Dunham of Spokane, Wash. -- and and two brothers—Thomas of Lingle, Wyo., and Andrew of Spokane, and other relatives also survive, He is sadly mourned by a host of •friends. Early in life deceased gave -his heart to God and affiliated with the Bap- tist church in which denomination he was a consistent and faithful .worker for nearly half a century, serving as deacon in ,the local church for many years. He was a member of the S. ,B. A. fraternal society and for up- ward of 40 years was affiliated with the 'local Masonic lodge. Cheerful in disposition .throughout life, even when afflictions beset him, he made friend's wherever er he went and was highly esteemed by his associates and fellow workmen, Generally , he was blessed with good health but as age crept on, naturally his health declin- ed but he remained at his post faith- fully performing his duties. While in none too good health the past few years he continued to carry on until about three months ago when he was obliged to desist ;from labor and seek a well earned rest, (Not long after his retirement he was taken seriously ill and passed away as above noted. Thus ended a useful life, a life that well may be emulated. He was called home to his Creator to receive the reward promised all who keep the faith. James Ross was a devoted and indulgent: husband and lather, a good citizen and a true friend and was en - endeared to many in Barnard and community. He will be sadly missed but in his passing he has left as an example to all a rich heritage in a life well spent and so gloriously dos- ed. This consolation is offered the bereft family and 'friend's: "The steps of a gded man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighted in his; way. Though he fall, he shall not he utter- ly cast dawn: for the Lord" uphold eth him with his hand."--lPsatm :I7; 23, 24.
