The news of the death of Mr. Wm.
Erskine on Sunday evening, was re-
ceived with profound regret. Al-
though not enjoying robust health,
he was able to attend to his place of
business nearly every day. Deceas-
ed' was married a few years ago. He
was united in marriage with Miss
Loehead of London, who, with her
little daughter, Jeannette, have the
sympathy of the, community. Fun-
eral service was held on Tuesday at
the home of Mr. Harvey Erskine, a
son of the deceased, and was conduc-
ted by Rev. George Weir, pastor of
St. Andrew's Church. Deceased was
in -his 64th year. Interment took
place in Atwood cemetery.
Municipalities sometimes overstep
their rights in an endeavor to protect
local businessmen. A short time ago•
Goderich Council convicted the Mac-
key Bread ''Co., under the Transient.
Traders By -Law for peddling bread
in the county town. The Company
appealed, and -were successful in hav-
ing the conviction quashed. They
should have been taken up under the
Hawkers' and Peddlers' By -Law,
which, however, does not provide for
so heavy a penalty as the Transient
Tradiers?' By -Law.
