PAUL POWELL DEAD
Death Claims Turnberry Clerk With-
• out Warning
The entire community was shocked
on Thursday evening, when the news
spread that Paul Powell was dead. He
was one of the most unlikely, as he
was about in his usual health and had
only left home 011 Thursday morning
with a load of grain to have chopped
at Bluevale mill. However, the Angel
.aolfike.Death visits the busy and'`the idis
On the road near Bluevale, Mr.
Powell met Robert and Fred Hogg
with a heavy load of logs. Their hor-
ses were almost stuck and M. Powell
insisted on hitching hia team ou with
theirs. It was while in this act that
he put his hand to his side and told
.Mr. Hogg he had better take the lines,
and then fell over in the snow. I -Ie
was at once taken to the home of Mr.
William Falconer where everything
was done for him that was at all pos-
sible, but he never regained conscious-
ness and died that evening.
Deceased was in -his 66th y -ear and
was a most highly respected citizen of
Turnberry,fnf, which he was township
•clerk since 5-913, previous to that he
was assessor for over twenty years.
Before moving to the farm on the 6th
of Turnberry in 5892, the late Mr.
Powell was a school teacher, teaching
...fOr a while at Kinlough and on the 9th
TurnberrY e Heawe4nt to Nora -sal at
Ottawa- and took a business course at
Jackson, Mich: After giving up teach-
ing, he went itto the hardware business
in Lucknow, where he was for a time
in partnership with Mr. D. C. Taylor,
Mrs. Powell passed away about nine
year ago, and he is survived by two
daughters, Mrs. (Dr,) R.eYnalds . of
Emmett, Idaho, and Mrs. Elmer Hast-
ings of Morris Township, also one
son, Frank E., on the homestead. Two
brothers, Tom. K. Powell and Jas. H.
Powell both living in. Turnberry also
survive him.
The funeral was held from his late
residence' to Wingham cemetery on
Monday afternoon, and d,espite the
fact that 11 :was one of -the most
stormy days this winter, a large con-
course of friends turned out to pay
their last respects to the deceased.
The late Mr. Powell was past mas-
ter of Winghain Lodge, A. F. & A. M.
- Rev. Dr. Petrie • of St. Andrews
Presbyterian church, conducted the
services at the house and grave.
Mr. McEwen, reeve of Turnberry
and councillor Moffat, in speaking to
the editor of this paper on returning
from the funeral said, he has gone
from us when we needed his wise'
counsel the most, as there will have
to be several drain by-laws ,prepared
this year and the majority of the coun-
cil are new men, "The Township of
Turnberry has suffered a great loss,"

to illness and Mrs. W. F. VanStone
came to the rescue and with only a
couple of night's practice, did remark-
ably well as Mrs. John Brown.
Miss Aileen Kennedy and Mr. Herb
Jobb are exceptionally- adapted as host
and hostess and their dramatic career
would be assured if they should decide
to enter the field. Mr. Jobb is only
surpassed by Mr. Reg. S. Wiliams as
a proficient liar to his wife. Miss Al-
len ancl Mr. C. R. Wilkinson as lovers
do not appear to need many -more-
sons. Mr. Nash and Mrs. McLean as
a plain old Irish couple, who are not
accustomed to the frills of I society
would be hard to beat, while' Jervis
Lutton as' Wigson, the butler, who
'knew everyone's business as well as
his own, could not be beaten. Miss
Eva Dawson, as Mrs. Frank Fuller,
would be hard to surpass; in all the
entire company were excellent. '
We understand they have invita-
tions from different neighboting
towns to play, in the near future. They
are already billed for Lucknow on
Tuesday evening February aoth. -and
all we have to say -is if you have not
seen the drama, don trims it.'
The High School Orchestra also
added greatly to the • pleasure of the
evenings. Their playing between acts
was of the quality of music a person
might expect from professional mus-
icians,

CHANGE IN ASSESSMENT
Taxes Will Be Receivable Any Tim
From July Till Dec. 14th.
Wingham is going to give a trial to
allowing,ratepayers to pay their taxes
either in whole or in part any time
from July 15th., to December 3t4th.„
and will allow the half per cent. per
monthediscount on taxes so paid. The
reason for this new procedure is to
better ena.ble some people to pay their
taxes when they might happen to have
more money when there is no fuel or
Christmas presents to buy. Several,
have complained that they found it
hard to pay their taxes in tlecember,
because of the 'cold weather and.
Christmas season drawing so much on
their funds. It is also thought that
souse may find it easier to pay their
taxes in different payments of smaller
amounts than all at one time. Another
advantage will be that the ratepayer
will receive 3 per cent. on taxes paid
by Isth of July, where they at present
only receive el- per cent on taxes paid
before September a5th. In, this way
the town will have the ratepayers'
money and will not be compelled to
borrow from the banks and the tax
payer will receive the interest on his
money. The clerk was appointed to
prepare the necessary by-law on mot-
ion of councillors Smith and Mitthell.
Two applications were read for the
position of Assessor. One from the
former assessor, T. J. McLean and
one from a Mr. Krauter of Hanover.
The latter application was just for the
present assessment as he said heonly
expected to be in Winghaan a couple
of months at the most.
The council therefore had only one
to consider. Mr. McLean was appoint-
ed assessor, he to make two assess-
ments, as required by law, at a salary
of $425.00 and postage.
As we understand the law it is nec-
essary for two -assessments to be
made the year of the passing of legis-
lation granting ratepayers the privi-
lege of paying taxes earlier than Sep-
tember, but in future the assessment
will be made every autumn instead of
sPthlg
Avote of sympathy was extended
to councillor Mitchell, who has just
returned from Paisley, where he at-
tended the funeral Of his father and
was afterwards compelled to spend a
couPle of weeks in bed with the La.
Grippe.
