WILLIAM GILLES'PIE.
One of the oldest and best known
residents passed away at his !come on
Jaynes street on Saturday, July 4th,
in the person of William Gillespie,,
Born in Fifeshire, Scotland, seven-
ty-nine years ago, he came to Canada
at the age of eighteen. In 18776 he
was married in Clinton to Agnes Hill,
livin in
g Seaforth ever since. For
thirty -,three years he acted in the ca-
pacity of Chief of P'o'lice and during
those years he made many friend's
who will miss him from amongst
them, for many there are who realize
he has held otvt a helping hand over
a hard place.
'Owing to ill health, he severed his
connection with the town at the end
of the year 1927, and since that time,
though by no means an invalid, still
was unable to take an active part in
the community, though deeply inter-
ested in all that concerned what was
practically his life's work.
Three years ago his life was des-
paired of but he rallied and since then
has virtually remained at his home.
Though his health has been frailty
itself, still the end came Saturday
morning with startling suddenness,
being interested in his surroundings
ten minutes before death claimed
hint.
He leaves behind !lint to sincerely
mourn his death, his wife and family,
consisting of William, of Brussels;
Mrs. Jas. A, Tufford, of Beanrsville;
Mrs. Harold Best, of Toronto, and
Mrs. Je R. Miller of Barrie. Of a
family of eight, two brothers and a
sister, Mr, John Gillespie and Mr.
James Gillespie, Seaforth, and Mts.
John McMillan, of Roxboro, survive.
The funeral which took place from
his late residence on Monday was
conducted by the Rev. Mr. Koine and
was largely attended, the Mayor and
council attending in •a body. Among
the floral tributes were pillow from
the family; pillow from the Wilton
family, Brussels; wreath .from Mr, and
Mrs. Jas. Gillespie and Mary; the
Mayor and council; sprays from Mrs.
ff ohn McMillan, Mr. and Mrs. W.
Dickson; Mr, and Mrs. Maunders,
Brussels; Mr. and Mts. W. Bristow,
Mr, and Mrs. Harry Eyre, Sarnia;
Mrs, Jennie Patterson and others.
'Initerment was made in the family
phot in the Maitland Bank cemetery,
the pallbearers being Messrs. W. H,
Golding, John A. Wilson; Ed. Mole,
Robert E. Jackson; A. Archibald and
J. W. Beattie.
FORMER RESIDENT DIES.
The following is front a Hastings,
Nebraska, newspaper:
"Funeral services for Robert
Brownlee, 421 north, Denver avenue,
who died at Lincoln Sunday follo4v-
ilrg an illness of only about three
weeks, will he held at the First Me-
thodist Church here Tuesday after -
150011 at 2;30 o'clock with Dr. E. C.
McDade and Dr. A. V. Hunter in
change. Burial will be at Parkview.
Mr, Brownlee came here with, his fa-
mily in 1928, after trading his fruit
farm at Salent, Ore,, for the apart-
ments on .the west side of Denver
avenue near Fourth street, once
of
knn own as the West Marquis Rale. For
a time he operated a grocery store on
north California avenue, but he had
said that so'tne time before his illnes's
devel'apetl. He was born at Seaforth,
(Ontario, Canada, January 10, 18875,
and on January 1'5. 1902, was united
in marriage to Miss Bertha Ivison at
Kippen, Ontario. They resided in that
vicinity until 1921, when they went to
Salem, Ore., with their family to op-
erate a fruit farm. ivlr. Br1wnlee had
for many years been a member of the
_Methodist Clinch, and until recently
taught a cl;ass'Of boys'in the Sunday
School here. His son, Wilson, is pres-
ident of the Epworth League
of
the
Methodist Church. Stad_d";i n
to
this son, Mr. Brownlee i5 survived by
his wife, two sons .and one daughter-
Albert ,Brownlee of Salem, Ore.; Har-
ry Bro'wneee of Hastings. and Mrs.
Myrtle MdDole of Eugene, Ore. Three
brothers and one sister also survive,
Mr George Brownlee, of Seaforth;
William, af, Oshawa; Russell, of Fort
William, Mrs. Henry Little, of Wind-
sor,"
The late Mr. Brownlee, who died
oil .Sunday, June 21st, was prominent
in the Methodist Church at.. Kippen,
where he conducted a general store,
and was also an official of the Orange
Order,
CUT THESE NOW
1Colhe primary purpose of the "Weed
taro] Act" is to prevent. the spread
of noxious weed seeds by cutting at a
cerltam stage in the growth of the
plant, 'usually when coining into
bloom, this precaution being taken
.while the slower but nio•re effective
method of root destruction could be
carried on from year' to year.
We therefore call attention to the
necessity of cutting at once, such
weeds as the Daisy, Orange Hawk-
wed, St. •Johns Wort, Bladder Cam-
pion, and the Cockles, all of which are
in flower at the present time, but bet-
ter still, where possible gather or ra'k'e
together and burn, as even now some
o•f these are sufficiently advanced to
germinate under favorable conditions,
and don't forget our native, the Can-
ada Thistle, a vigorous grower this
sea on.
While fully recognizing that we
ne t "make hay while the sun shines"
wa'also believe it a wise policy to give
a seasonable amount of time even at
this busy season of the year to the
removal o'f these weeds to prevent
thein seeding and multiplying, incurr-
ingt additional expense at a later seas-
on of neglected now, ,and incidentally
it flay help out the unemployment sit-
uation of some one eager to work for
a fitir remuneration. who has not yet
obtained a permanent position, or the
offer of one.
Now is also the time to look over
the grain fields infested with Sow
Thistle, this being the season in which
it begins flowering. Where it is
strongly established in a 'thin and
weakly growing field of grain, cut for
green feed as the present price of
grain would not justify the cost of
twine, use of binder, and threshing op-
erafions in harvesting a crop with 25
per, cent. or more infestation of Sow
'T'histle. Where this weed occurs in
dna ed patches in the grain, these can
be et with the scythe but should he
'burned when sufficiently dry to pre-
vent any chance of seeding.
'Po not wait for a visit from the
officer, or't'he lodging of a complaint
from someone receiving injury from
your neglect, but in order to serve our
own hest interests, let us stake an
honest effort to prevent the spread of
these noxious weeds by seeding..
Yours in the work,
A. A. CUTIHiILL,
Inspector.

.Friends numbering 130, ranging in
age from three weeks to 83 years, at-
tended the Anderson -Scott picnic,
which was held in Mr, Jos. Wtorden's

mention, having provided entertain-
ment for all ages -horse -shoes for the
older men, paces and games for the
younger generation, and swings and
games with treats of ice cream in be-
tween, for the kiddies. The games
were all mirth -provoking and the pea-
nut scratnble fol' the children and the
apparel race for the young folks were
intensely exciting and most laughable.
\Lr, Thomas L. Scott was leader of
the children's sports, and Miss Grace
3L'clLiachlen staged the programme
provided for the young folks. After
lunch was served, the young people
spent the rest of the evening playing

Presentation. - Monday after-
noon o a large gathering of friends and:
pupil's assembled to bid farewell to
Miss Lucy Burke who has resigned
her duties as teacher of Separate
School No. 4, Hi'b•bert. The foll1wintg
address was read by Marie Feeney,
while Rita McIver and Peter Jordan
presented a beautiful' iridescent china
tea service as a taken of goodwill to-
wards their teacher. "Dear l'I'iiss'
Burke,•-I•t is with feelings of deep
regret that we' heard you were sever-
ing your connection with us, afiter a
faithful service of ten fruitful years
as our beloved teacher: ten glorious
years when we recall the remarkable
success which has crowned your ef-
forts intraining
theintellects i ellec�ts df the
to
u ils committed P P to your care. We
appreciate esipecia1ty the interest you
have taken kr their::soei'ale their moral
and •re1•igides duti•eelwhich'`es"so es--•
sential in the rearing of the pupils
at the present time. We believe as.
we say goodbye to you that your
record will be hard to equal. We
realize to -day more than ever before •
the sincerity, the affectionate attitude,,
the sympathetic consideration main-
tained in correcting ottr many little
,faults. We know that a teacher's•
task is not an easy one; petty seeds
of jealousy very often sprout bur the -
untiring energy, the magnetic influ-
ence and the impartial methods you -
adapted in discipline will surely be are
ittspination to us all in years to come
and will doubtless leave an indelible
impression upon our daily lives.
In appreciation of your kindness,
your unstinted generosity, and your -
untiring labours in our behalf we ask•
you to accept this little gift as a very
slight token of our affection and best
wishes for a happy and` prosperous,
future.. We hope that the memories.
of the years so earnestly spent in our. -
midst, will be the means of blending •
a friendship that sha'l'l never be •
broken, that a "decade of well spent
years in our behalf will bring the re-
ward of a happy home, and a loving
husband. Signed on behalf of the
ratepayers and pupils of Hibbert
