ways lend their services in mating
our streets and public places more at-
tractive A Horticultural Society is
an asset to any town, and the ° work
the local branch is doing to iiiiprove
the beauty of Seaforth should receive
the hearty co-operation of every citi-
zen who has the welfare of the town
at heart. Not only is the membership
'fee a small one, but it carries with it
a premium fist -that is worth more
than twice the money. Membership
tickets may be secured for this year
from Mr. William Hartry, President,
Mr. A. D. Sutherland, Secretary, or
from any of the directors.
Killed While Flying In Texas.=
No •casualty ! bulletin since the com-
mencement of the war has been receiv-
ed in Seaforth with more genuine re-
gret- and serrow than the one on
Monday morning announcing the death
of William Stanley Hays, second son
of Major R. S. and Mrs. Hays, of
town, who was killed -athe previous
day while making a flight at Camp
Taliaferro, - Fort. Worth, Texas. He
and Lieut. Bate were in the air and
while atempting a nose dive, the ma-
chine crashed to the: ground, a dis-
tance -of over 400 feet. Both men were
taken out alive but Stanley died in
the hospital about an hour later. The
late Stanley Hays was born in Sea -
forth and had spent all his life here,
where his quiet, gentlemanly bearing
had made . him a general favorite, not
only at the Collegiate Institute, which
he was attending at the time of his
enlistment, but with the older people
and business nen of the town. A year
ago he enlisted with the Royal Flying
Corp at Toronto, spending the summer
at Camp Barden, being transferred
with his squadron to Texas in Novem-
bar,. where he was connected with the
2nd A.M. Aerial Gunnery Squadron,
Royal Flying Corps, until his death.
He was only 17 years of age. Major
Hays' eldest son, has been in the
trenches in. France for over two years.
The body is being brought froth Texas
for interment, and the funeral services
will be held ;from First Presbyterian

CHISELHURST -
De: th of An Old Resident.—The
peopl of this neighborhood were sorry
to - le : rn on Thursday last that Mr.
John Drover had passed away. Mr;
Drov r, was in his usual health on
Mond y and around, but on Tuesday,
was of feeling well and on the advice
of hi doctor, kept to his room, but
the e d was nearer than was expected
and he passed .peacefuly away on
Thur day. The funeral was held. on
Satu day afternon, interment being
mad . in McTaggarts cemetery, and
was argely attended. He was in his
78th year. His wife predeceased him'
24 y ars ago, but he leaves to mourn
his loss two sons and four daughters.
Mr. Drover came to this country when
a b y Of twelve and has resided- - in
thes parts all his life. He was a
ma of quiet disposition, a good friend
and neighbor, and could relate some +,
ince esting stories of the pioneer days
and the hardships of the early settlers.
Notes.—Mr. and Mrs. G. Bagshaw
left for the west last week.—Mr. R.
R. len has rented Mr. F. Fitzger-
ald' house on the Davey farm.—Mr.
Ge rge Hill's sale was well attended,
his stock being in excellent condition.
—1\ r. Earl Kinsman, while drawing a
loa of hogs to town, had the misfor-
tun to lose a horse—A rather •unfor-
tu to accident befel Mr. Russel Maud -
so , while he - was returning from -
Fa quliar, one night during the 'slip-
weatherr. He was thrown from
th cutter, when the horse bolted and
w . -=n he reached it, it was dead. It is
th ught that it had fallen 'and broken
its neck.—We noticed in a recent issue
of The Expositor, some man having
so d' a large hog; Mr. Frank Fitzger
al can go one better. ` He recently
delivered in Hensel' a- hog which
w •ighed 770 pounds, for which he re-
tt'ved the sum of $115.50.
STANLEY.
Successful Concert.—On March 1st,
t . e young people of the Stanley Maple
of Patriotic Society held a very
s ccessful entertainment in Btird's -
s hool house.' The affair was favored
ith ideal roads and weather and at
7 o'clock the line up 'for seats com-
eneed and at eight o'clock •''there
asn't a seat to be had and every.
'tellable inch of standing room was
tilized. The play entitled "Farm
olks" was a splendidly rendered
ample of high drama, embellished
etween the acts by . selections . of
parkling vaudeville. The young lad-
ies of thelocality sang one at a time,
two at a time and three at a time and
demonstrated to everyone's satisface
Ition that theycan sing "any old way,"
while - Messrs_ . Glenn and Sinclair
were equally edifying. The splendid
;Manner in which , the play- was given
upheld the reputation of former - en-
tertainments under the same auspices.
The leading part -was ably taken by
Miss Erma Diehf, who deserves great
credit for having - undertaken it on
short notice. She received consistent
support from a large and varied caste
from which it would be difficult to se-
lect a star, although Miss Taylor and
Mr. Moffat were perhaps the best,
while Miss McEwen and Mr. and Miss
Stewart handled the comic parts in a
very able and entertaining manner.
The Misses Alexander and Sinclair
and Messrs. , Sinclair, McGregor and
Jackson Handled the less important
parts very creditably. Mrs. Innes
is to be congratulated on the efficient
manner in which she handled the mus-
ical , programme. The Society de-
sires' to thank Miss Farquhar and
Mrs. Elliott for their kind assistance.
