Mr. Oke has been a real estate and insurance :agent in Windsor and we understand he in- tends to establish a similar business here. Possession will be given No- vember 1st. Thenew owner is • a brother of Mr. Orville Oke of the Royal Apartments. Mr. W. C. Oke and his son are in-' terested in show horses and they ex- pect to continue along this line in. Egmondville, Mr. VanEgmond stated. The sale of the VanEgmond pro- perty is of historic significance in Huron County, as the property has been in' the hands of the VanEgmond' family since about 1828, a period of more than 110 years. The land is part of the VanEgmond Reserve, an area granted to Colonel VanEgmond who came to Canada from the Neth- erlands and built the first road into the Huron Tract, now known as the Huron Road or Highway No. 8. The house was built some years later and is said to be one of the most solidly built houses in this dis- trict. The basement contains a room with barred windows which was in- tended as a jail in the early days. Earl VanEgmond has made no plans yet for the future. "I feel rather guilty about selling the place" Mr. VanEgmond said, "but owing to my health am not able to look after it." . .. FORMER MERCHANT HERE • JOHN MacTAVISH DIES HOSPITAL.

The dust we tread Shall change beneath the summed showoff To golden grain or mellow fruit, ter rainbow -tinted flowers. There Is no death ; the leaves may fall -- The flowers may fade and pass away - • They only wait through wintry hours, The coming of the May. There Is no death. An angel form Walks o'er the earth with silent tread; He bears our best loved ones away, And then - we call them "dead". Sora into that undying life, They leave us b t .to come again ; With joy we welcome them — the same Except in sin and .pain. And over near us, the' unseen, Their dear immortal spirits tread ; For all this boundless Universe Is Life — there are no dead. J. L.
