CROM ARTY Death of a Pioneer. --O n Friday evening last, death removed the last retraining pioneer of the Cromarty district in the person of Duncan Mc- Laren, The late Mr. McLaren was born in Scotland and emigrated to this country al an early age with his parents and other members of the family and settled on the 13th con- cession in the year 1850, and has been a continuous resident ever since, pass- ing away as above stated on the old homestead, now occupied by his younger son, William. Mr. McLaren was a strong man physically, possess- ing fortunately a rugged constitution which enabled him to endure the hardships incident to the early pioneer life. His recreation was need- ing and he kept himself constantly posted on the live topics of the day, and for over sixty years was a reader of the Globe as well as The Huron Expositor ever since the control was assumed by McLean Bros., and was a warm personal friend of M. Y. McLean, its late editor, whom he held in the highest esteem. Though never seeking public office, Mr. McLaren could give expression intelligently on almost any subject, though politics was his favorite, and notwithstanding that he was first, last and always a Liberal he was sufficiently broad- minded to accord an opponent in ar- gument the, same liberty of speech and respect of opinion which he claimed for himself, and the writer can well remember years ago listen- ing for hours to an argument, with- out him ever displaying a flash of temper, To Mr, McLaren and his brother. the late Alex. McLaren, be- longs the credit of bringing into this district the first pure-bred Shorthorn cattle and for years their stock was a striking feature at the local fairs. They were also breeders of Leicester sheep and draught horses. Mr, Mc- Laren is survived by three daughters: Mrs. G. Ii. Stewart, Belleville; Mrs. George Bean, Jr., Goderich, and Miss Marine, Goderich, and two sons, John P., Egmondville, and. W. E. of Hib- bert. His wife predeceased him 26 years ago, also three sons, Duncan on adjoining farm, Scott, of the 12th concession, and Alex. A„ a barrister of Port Huron. The funeral; which WAS private, was held on Monday last to Hensall Union Cemetery, the ser- vices being conducted by the Rev, Mr, Ritchie, Cromarty. The pall bearers were the two sons already mentioned, with two nephews, John A., Egmond- ville, and William L., of Hibbert, STANLEY Notes -Miss Bessie Tough has re- turned back to her school after spending three weeks at her home on the Bronson Line. -Mr. amid Mrs. David Tough were visiting friends on the Salable Line last week. -- Clarence Tough has returned to Owen Sound again for the summer to learn the sailing. -Mr. and Mrs. James A.

Death of a Former Resident. -It is with feelings of deep regret that we this week mention of the passing away of a former resident of Kipper' it, the person of Mr. George Hunt, of Halifax, who died on Monday morn- ing, April 25th, Mr. Hunt was born in Kippen some fifty-two years ago and it was in this vicinity he spent his school days and early manhood. He was the second son of Mrs. R. Hunt, now of Hensall, and will be remembered by many friends here. No particulars have been received as to the cause of his death,. He is stlr- vived- by: his wife and aged mother, brothers and one sister, all of whom will have the sympathy of this com- munity in their bereavement. Presentation and Address. - On Tuesday evening last the home of Mr, end Mrs. Henry Ivison was the scene of a happy gathering when some 75 neighbors and friends as- sembled to spend a social evening with Mr, and Mrs. R. Brownlee and family before their removal from the village and to show in a tangible manner the affection and esteem in which they were held during their long residence here- When all had assembled Rev. Mr, Foster called Mr. and Mrs. Brownlee to come forward and read an address to them which was accompanied by a purse of mnney, the presentation of which was made by Mrs, James B. McLean. Mr. Brownlee made a most suitable reply in which he made reference to the good feeling that always had existed among the friends present with hdm- self and family during the many years they had gone In and nut among them. After the presentation a social time was spent which included several musical selections 'by Rev, Mr, Fos- ter, Mrs, Ames McLean and other ladies. The ladies then resorted to the baskets they had brought with them and in short Order a moat tempt- ing spread was before the guests, which all thoroughly enjoyed and at a late hour all repaired to their homes each enjoying. that happiness which is always experienced in well doing. The following was the address: - Dear Friends: -As associates, we have met in this home to -night to bid -farewell to friends whom we have ' a✓r ,' and repro i,? it a order of tkingtt here, ham ` e reeonoiled to,' glnliy experleneee Which bear with them • much pain.

Words are not the must adequhte way of expressing our atfte-tinns. Deeds have always out- ehined them, 11 , mutter how fine the phrases in which our language has been couched. So we have tried to embody our geed wishes in an act and ask you to accept this slight token of our esteem by accepting this gift. May it help to confirm raid strength- en the friendships which have been formed for years to come, .for we re- alize that suelt`,+� friendship is more than companu1l lin, since true friend- ship is an immortal love indeed.
