ent year. Mr. McPherson has berm a faith-
ful servant for the township, having served

clamation for sixteen years only being op-
posed on two occasions. iAr. MeoPherson s
eyesight has been failinthim very fast dur-
ing the past year, and he found it necessary

Lkne finger amputated.
PASSED AWAY.—On WacInesdey of last
week Mrs. W. McNabb, of the 13th conces-
sion, departed this life. Her maiden name
was' Jennet Stewart. She had been in fail-
ing health for the past four months, being
confined to bed since about the 15th of
September. Hers was a combination of
ailments and at times she was a great suf.
ferer. Mrs. McNabb was born in North
Easthope, Perth county, where she was
married 36 years ago to her now bereaft
partner. Mr, and Mrs. McNabb and family
moved to Grey township 13 years ago, pur-
chasing the 100 acre farm of Robert Scott,
where members of the family still reside.
The subject of thia notice had been compar-
atively a very hearty person and was moat
highly esteemed by a large circle of friends
for her many estimable qualities. She was
a consistent member of the Presbyterian
church.—On Friday, the 15th inst., Mr, E.
J. McArthur, a well' known and deservedly
reepected resident of the 6th concession,
paid Nature's debt after a short but at
times painful illness. He was 51 years, 5
months and 26 days old. Deceased was
born near Martin -town, Glengarry county,
Ontario, and came to Grey 23 years ag,o.
For the first five or six years he ran a saw-
mill at lot 6, concession 5, and in 1882
bought a 50 acre farm from the late Thomas
Heritage, and seven years past purchased
the adjoining 100, lot 10, concession 6, from
the estate of the late David MeGuire. By
industry and careful management he had
made a big improvement in the property.
During the past summer he was not feeling
as well as usual and gradually failed until
four weeks before hie death he was forced
to take to his bed. The trouble was cancer
of the liver and bowls. All ,that was pos-
sible to give relief was done until he was
freed from all pain and suffering. Mr. Mc-
Arthur was married 28' years ago last June
to Miss Jessie McIntosh, who with one son
and three daughers survive and hold in
kind remembrance the departed loved one.
He was an unassuming, fair minded man, a
Presbyterian in religion and Liberal in
politics. His grandfather was a U. E.
Loyalist.

PRESENT,ATION' TO REV.MR. MCDONALD.—
The following is the address which accom-
panied the purse presented to Rev. J. A
McDonald, late pastor of Blake Presbyter
ian church, by members of the congregation
and mention of .which was made in our lam
of last week :
"We, the 'members and adherents o
your church and congregation, Blake, hay
assembled this evening for the purpose of
offering you a slight token of gratitude for
the able manner in which you have disebarg-
edy our dirties, as pastor, during the eight
years you have labored amongst us. To look
back over that time we must conclude that
we heves profitted by your ministrations,atid
must also say you have endeared yourself
to us by your amiable character, your earn-
est devotion to duty and the hearty interest
you have ever taken in our welfare as a peo-
ple. We learn you are about to depart
from our midst to follow your present call-
ing in another field of labor. As you leave
us for your new home, we assure yoa that
you carry away the warm feelings of your
late congregatron, which we represent. Our
sincere wishes are that our dear Lord may
pour out his choicest blessings upon you and
your estimable wife and family, and may
He grant you many years of health, prosper-
ity and happiness. Now, in conclusion, we
ask you to accept this purse and contents,
not for their intrinsic value, but that in
future years they may serve to remind you
of the many days you spent among U6.
Signed in behalf of the Blake congregation.

atunen RE-OPEND.M. —The Methodist
church here has recently been thoroughly
over -hauled and repaired. The re•opening
services were held on Sabbath, December
10th, and were conducted both forenoon
and evening by Rev. W. G. Howson, of
Clinton. Although the weather was dis-
agreeable and the roads bad, the congrega-
tions were large. In the evening the isles
were filled with extra seats. Though no
special appeal was made, the subscriptions
to the repair fund having been paid. a few
days before, the sum of $25 was placed upon
the plates. The lecture by Rev. R. Hobbs;
one Tuesday evening, was well attended. -
Again the heavy gale and muddy roads rte
port many at home. Mr. Hobbs was in his
usual good form, and delivered, with force,
hie thoughts upon "The Triangular Man."
The singing of the Wingham Methodist
church choir was much appreciated. The
building committee are receiving congratu-
, latione on all handeupon the attractive ap-
pearance of the oliarob. It is amazing what.
paint, varnish, paper, new matting, carpet
and furniture, when brought together with
good 'mete, can accomplish. With the ex-

'DIE LATE CITARLES PROCTOR.—.Another
of Huron's most worthy pioneerslhas de-
parted this life. Many will regret to learn
of the death of Mr. Charles Proctor, of the
township of Morris. Few were more widely
known or more highly esteemed. Ile was
born at Kirkby, Overblow, Yorkshi e Eng-
land, in 1822. In 1850 he was married, and
at once emigrated to Canada. After a voy-
age of over six weeks, hy landed in' New
York ; the journey from New York to
Trafalgar township, Halton eounty, occu-
pied twelve days. In 1853 he came to Mor-
ris, and took up the south half of lot 6, and
north ha,lf of lot 7, ors conaession 5. He
then went back to Halton county for a few
years. He returned to Morris and- began
the clearing of his farm , and had to carry
his provisions on his Z ulder from Gode-
f•
rich. In 1867 he was el oted coucillor, and
for eleven years sat in he council, part of
the time as deputiereeva. When the Lon-
don Huron and Bruce railway was pro-
jected he did all in his power to secure the
road for this oration of the country. He
served on the directorate of several Agricul-
tural Societies, Clintoh, Blyth, Brussels,
and was president of Belgra,ve Society for
many years. His family consisted of six
sons—John and= James : are dead ; George,
Charles, Abraham live 4ear the old home,
and Richard is still at ome. Mr. Proctor
was industrial and frug I, and by his .toil
bought and paid for 60 acres of land, and
had crossed the ocean flIre times. He was a
kind neighbor, a firm f lend of the young
people, and a great loeter of music. His

Wit and Wisdom.
If a man has the right stuff in him it is
bound to come out. That's wh t makes
some men's noses so red.
"1 can't understand how Mrs. S iley can

How To Avoid Colds During ,
Winter. 1 ,
"This idea tbat many people have, that
winter is an unhealthful season, is all
wrong. Wailer is just as healthful as
eutimier, if peepie will take care of them-
selves. If yea want to go through the
winter without a cold, observe these few
simple rules:
"Don't overheat your house, and don't
stop all ventilation. Sleep itaa cool room,
but keep warmly covered. Always take off
your outdoor wrape When you come in the
house, and always put them on when you go
out. And, lastly, Just as long as there is
snow on the ground, don't go out without
your rubbers. This last rule is the most
important of all, for two colds out of three
come from web feet." -

Things Worth Knowing.
It is a remarkable feat that few bald men
ever die of consuiription.
The oil, ef tobacco found in the stem of
long used pipes is one of the most active
and powerful poisons known.
Ordihary headaches . almost always yield
to the simultaneous application of hot
water to the feet and back of the neck.
The habitual use of tea as a means of re-
lieving headache, is, says a doctor, without
doubt an efficient cause of rheumatism in
numerous ways.
Ducks are much more easily fed than
chickens. Nothing seems to disagree with
them es long as it is sound and sweet.
The goose, if properly managed, lays as
many eggs as the turkey, and can be raised
to maturity at about one half the cost.
It is estimated that, Missouri farmers re-
ceived over $8,000,000 for their mules last
yeaaei70.

One of the advantages in keeping sheep
is that they do not need an expensive build-
ing as a shelter. A shed open on one side
suits them as well as a tight barn, and even
better, as they require considerable yenta
lation.'
A great deal of trouble is expended in
educating the showy, high-stepping horses.
He is trained to step high and act showily
by,,being driven along a path whereon rails
are set crosswise. He steps high to avoid
stumbling, and in time always steps high.
To cure knock-knees sleep with a pillow
between them, fastening the ankles with a
handkerchief. Have the heels of your
boots prolonged on the inner Bide along the
waist of the boot, and wear strong, lace up
boots.
A sick headache is often caused by eating
too much and too rich food, and taking too
little exercise. Sabstitute a simple, plain
meal and a dessert of fruit for too much
meat and too many rioh dishes. Take ex-
ercise.
Sanitation has proved that the use of gas
in bedrooms is unwise, as it consumes by
far too much oxygen; if, therefore, it is
lighted before the occupants retire, they
will find the atmosphere vitiated. It is a
great mistake to aelieve thatthe amount of
the vitiation is of no consequenoe becauee
the flame is small, perhaps barely visible
until wanted.
The way to clean out vermin from caloriy
or any kind of vegetables is to dissolve a
pieta of sode, in a wineglaseful of hot water,
and pour this into the bowl of salt and
airater in which you have placed the vege-
tables to steep after they are washed.
This will effectively get rid of all worm.
Those in the celery are so small and threa
like that they might easily be overlooke
and plsin water, or even salt water, do s
not suffice to expel them.
Few people are aware what an excellent
tonic a cold water bath is far the eyes.
Not the ordinary eponge bath, with closed
lids, but opening the eyes and holding then
open for a minute or more in clear mei
water. To do this take a teacupful ef
water and hold it close to the eye, againot
the face, and open the eye In it.. Open and
shut two or three times to - wash out • tbe
eye. Then dry with it soft towel. Never
rub your eyes; it is an exceedingly in
jarioue practise, and children should be
warned against it. If your eyes are weak
put a iiinch of salt in the water.

Be Cured of Catarrh.
It is quite easy to cure yourself of Cat-
arrh or Asthma if you use Catarrhozone,
the medicated air treatment for all diseases
of the nasal and respiratory organs caused
by geam life. Catarrhozone will oure,ab-
solutety cure Catarrh, and is a very plea -
ant remedy that can be used without dan-
ger or risk whatever. When inhaled it
rapidly volatilizes, and finds its way to tbe
very seat of the disease, where it kills the
microbic life that causes Catarrh and at the
same time restores all irritated membranes
to their normal condition effecting a per-
manent cure. You simply breathe • Cat-

of the street or sidewalk and defined by $
low platform or raised floor. From this
modest eminence the proprietor and thosi
about him greet the new guest with pro-
found bows, their foreheads touching the
floor repeatedly. There is no showy of-
fice, no high desk, no lordly clerk, no big
book for the guests' autograph—onlY a
little table about 14 Inches high, with an
inki3tone, suggesting that here the a.c-
counts are made up. But the guest May
not yet ascend. Ills 'hoes must be left

1 The Darky Roustabout.
• "I was down on the river front the oth-
er day," said a veteran steamboatman,
'and heard some negro roustabout sing-
ing the `Gen'el .Yackson' song. It was the
first time I had heard the thing for yeare,
and you hare no idea, how it carried me
back to old times. This is the way it
runs:
'Centel Jackeon mighty man— ,
Whew, my kingdom, fire away!
He fight on sea, an he fight on lan'—
Whew, my kingdom, lire away!
"Genie' Jackson find de trail—
' Whew, my kingdom, tire away! -
He make a fort wid cotton bale—
_ Whaw, my kingdom, fire away! --
"There were other verses, nelisve, but
those two .were the most popular, and
back in the sixties and early, seventies
you could hear the deckhands roning
them at every landing. I hay often
wondered why it was that the old time
rohstabout songs hitee so entirely` disap-
peared. The river negroes still chant at
their work, of course, but, like the girl in
the ballad, they 'do not sing the old songs
—the songs of long ago.' Another fayor-
ite that I remember had this refrain:
"Heave away l Heave away! ' .
Id rather court a yellow gal
Than work for Henry Clay!

Styles In Wedding Ringo.
' "It. is generally supposed that women
regard their weddine rings as sacred,"
remarked a Chestnut' street jeweler yes-
terday, "but as a letter of tact they
don't. Superficially they may give you
this impression, but when you come right
down to It they don't let a little matter
like sentiment stand in the way of style.
Stnle in wedding rings? Why, to be sure.
The ring that is now used is a narrow cir-
clet of gold which looks like little more
than a guard for the other rings on the
finger. But that isn't the point. What 1
want to emphasize is the fact that wom-
en who were married years ago and
whose wedding rings are the old style,
masSiee affairs are coming in every day
to have them altered to conform to the
present style. Even elderly women with
married daughters of their own seem to
have little sentiment in the 'matter and
haVe their heavy bands shaved down tq
the size required by the present fashion."

smile. "She says telephone me just as.
