He had not been in good health during the past two years. The late Mr. MacDonald was born in Pictou, Nova Scotia, 87 years ago. When nine years old he carne to Wes- tern Ontario, and practised medicine at Wingham for 4o years. He was a member of the federal government for East Huron for x8 years, and de- puty speaker of the House of Com- mons. • Besides his widow there are surviv- ing four daughters? Mrs. Edward Horsey of London, England, Miss A. Caroline MacDonald, of Tokio, Japan; Miss Margaret MacDonald at home, and Mrs. Claude Laing of Brantford, and one son, Dr. Jas. R. MacDonald of London. Dr. MacDonald served as postmas ter in London for 12 years. He re- ceived the appointment from the Lib- eral government in January 1909, suc- ceeding the late John Cameron, and in August, 192I, was superannuated. Since that time he had lived a retired life. nee Dr. MacDonald Was a widely known! physician and politician in the vicinity of Wingham for a great many years. .Many stormy political debates Were taken part in by this little man, who was a clear cut and clever speaker. In 1893 he moved his dwelling from Josephine Street to Centre Street and erected the large three storey Mac- Donald Block which has since been a credit to Wingham. The residente which he lived in is the one now oc- cupied by Dr. Parker on Centre Street. The funeral was held to Wingham cemetery on Tuesday afternoon. Ser- vices were conducted by his former Pastor, Rev. Dr, Perrie, in St. And- rews Presbyterian church, where he was an active member for many years. The pallbearers were Messrs. J. A. MacLean, A. E.

Store, with an Easter Fashion Show of Lad- ies' Stilts, Wraps, Coats ,arid Dresses. Maurice Beckwith Passes Once more we are forcibly remind- ed of the uncertainty of human life, On Monday morning, people were sheared to hear of the sudden passing of Maurice R. Beckwith. Hes was an active -old gentleman and on Friday afternoon complained of not feeling well and went home from his work in Gibson'' bakery. Neuritis was the trouble and on Sunday evening he felt so much better that he hoped to -be back at work on Mcinday morn- ing. Through the night he got up and dressed and werit to sit by the fire. He later called Mrs. Beckwith, wilco hurried for a doctor, but on her return was horrified to find her bus - heed dead. • The late Mr. Beckwith was born in Ipswich, • England, it 'x859, and came to Canada when quite young, In z88a he was married in Colborne Township to Miss Eliaabeth 'Hand/ - ton, who with three daughters, sur- vives him viz,, ktrs. Earl Cummins and Capt, Alice Beckwith of the Wy- chwood Corp of Toronto, and Miss Cora, of Brooklyn,N, Y. He is also survived by a brother and sister Hy.: ing in England. For a number of years Mr, Beckwith conducted a bak- ery in Clinton, later Jiving in Nor- wich and for the past 'thirty years, the family have been respected. resi- dents of Winghatn, The late Mr, Beckwith was beloved by all who knew him. He was a mem- ber of the Public Sheol Board and was Seeretary-Treasurer of the Chos- en Price& and a member of the C. 0, F. The funeral was held to Wingham cemetery on' Wednesday afternoon. Rev, C. E. Ctagg, pastor of the Wing - ham Methodist Church, conducted the funeral services and was assisted by Capt. Whitfield. The floral tributes were7ikautiful. The pall bearers were: Mayor Elliott, T. H. Gibson, W. T. Miller, A. Hingston, John McCool, and Henry Hopper. To the bereaved family is extended the heartfelt. sympathy of a large cir- cle of friends, issagliamittlamala • •Slshaariptione •$2.rio per year, FIRE. AT WINGIIAM --- Harry Wardsman's Dwelling Burned Down Fire completely destroyed the old double frame house one.Water St., the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wardsman a on Tuesday night. Harry and his wife were crating chickens in the barn and when leaving for the house were horrified to see flames is- suing from the dining -room window. Mrs. Wardsman was very emphatic that she had only left a small fire in the stoves and both of them shut off. The alarm was put in by Nightwatch- rnan Lewis, who rang the bell after notifying central. We believe there will be an inves- tigation as the force of firernen was not nearly all out, but thoSe who were worked well. The want of a motor was very apparent. In the excite- ment- the hydrant at the corner of the Fertilizer building was reported to be frozen and when Superintendent Herb Campbell was asked about it, he said that could not be and he turned on the water without difficulty. The order issued by the Bell Tele- phone Co., that the girls must not tell where a fire is, carne in for a good deal of censor and rightly too. The girl at central must answer a call and surely it takes' no more time to repeat the name of the person whose prop- erty is on fire than it does to say "we are not allowed to tell." Such a mean and selfish order should be rescinded at once. It may'be that in a city this order would be of benefit to both the central staff and tire firemen but in a town or village, citizens often greatly assist the firemen. Has a person, who is not a fireman to run to the town hall to find where the fire is? Business men, who live away from their place of business should know if their property is in danger. There is reason why a girl at central should not be bothered ans- wering what time it is, but to keep a secret that might be the means of saving damage by fire is ridiculous. We are firmly of the belief that a loud wild cat whistle should replace the bell and that the town should not have to pay for telephones in fire- men's homes. The saving from the cost of these phones would assist in the purchase of ,a useful alarm and alarm boxes placed at different parts of the town would do away with the necessity of going to the town hall to put in an alarm, LOCAL AND GENERAL • BURNT OL.D NOTES North Huron 'Telephone Company • Winds Up Affairs. An event of unusual interest was held in Wingham on Friday afternoon last, when the final meeting of the Directors and Shareholders of the North Huron Telephone Company, was held. The plant and good will of the Company was gold to the Bell Telephone Co, last week the amounts oi the company were distrib- uted proportionately among the share- holders. A short account of the his- tory -of the Company would be inter- esting at this time. The Company was organized in April, 1909, when Geo. Spotton, W. J, Greer, R. Van - stone, Wm. Maxwell and H. B. Elliott were elected as provisional directors. A charter was applied for and receiv- ed and the first regular meeting. of the shareholders .was held on September 3rd., 1909, when permarient directors vere elected thus: Wm. Maxwell, W. J. Greer, H. T. Thompson, Geo. Spot - ton and L. F. Binkley. Mr. Binkley served for only a few weeks, when John Gillespie was elected. In Nov- ember, 19ro, John Webster and John _11R11131111 itt Itt itt APh• sna •,rr Joynt were elected as directors in fas place of Messrs. Spotton and Gilles- pie, and in x911 Mr, Geo. Thompson came on the board in place of John Joynt. IVIr. Greer was president and Mr. H. T. Thompson was vice-presi- dent, and Messrs. • Win. Maxwell, John Webster and Geo. Thompson were directors from 1911 up to the time of the cancelling of the charter. Mr, A. H. Musgrove was auditor and Mr. H. B. Elliott was Secretary throughout the history of the Com- pany. The Company closed the year 1909, with 53 telephones in use and ended its career with nearly 600 sub- scribers . The Company had a very successful history and served the people well and in doing so had many ups and downs and at times it was difficult for the directors to finance the enterprise, shareholders, tak- ing the history of most rural tele- phones' concerns into consideration, were fortunate in receiving better than one hundred cents on the dollar for their holdings. At the conclusion of the business on Friday, the' direct- ors and officers with their wives par- took of an excellent supper at Mc - Kay's restaurant, after which the party spent a happy evening at the home of Mr, and Mrs, W.
