PARLIAMENTARY LETTER • The developments of the past weeks have been such as to bring cheer to the hearts of Liberals all ever the Dominion. Down in the Maitirne Provinces, the Liberal chieftain an next premier of Canada, Hon. W. L. . Mackenzie King, is addressing an sense audiences and getting splendid receptions. Starting at Sydney, Nova Scotia, and continuing through the whole of the provinces, every meet- ing place has been packed to the doors by people anxious to hear from the Liberal Chief gid his lieutenants, and in every constituency visited the tale has been the same: one of con - 'dant growth of Liberal enthusiasm until it seems that there is hardly a chance for the Conservative candi- date in any seat in the Province. In Colchester, Hon. F. B. McCurdy, is promised the time of his young life, and in Yarmouth and Clare, where . Hon. E. K- Spinney will run, there isn't a likelihood of him being able to stand up against the sweep of Lib- eralism which is going through the Maritime Provinces like a ,prairie fire. Live candidates are being chosen in every constituency in the province and live local organizations are already at work leaving no stone unturned to have really strong local machines in order for the registering of the vote. The Liberal chieftain is getting a . wonderful reception at Sydney, where the Maritime campaign opened, four thousand people packed themselves, like sardines, into the curlers' rink, and another four thousand fouglt in vain for a chance to get in. So dense was the crowd about the doors that Ernest Lapointe, one of the speakers of the evening, had to climb through a window to get into the rink at all. And then, in this meet- ing, which if any, would have been the place for heckling and questions, there was not a murmur of anything but applause from the huge audience. Cheers greeted the leader and the other speakers as they took their places on the platform and as they rose to speak, and when Hon. Mr. King ,finished the applause was deaf- - ening. At New Glasgow, two theatres -were packed with people, some of whom had come seventy or eighty Miles to heat the Liberal chieftain. At Windsor, the drill shed was crowd- ed, and at Bridgewater. a huge rink was crammed to the door with lis- teners, some of whom had come forty and fifty miles to attend. Receptions have been held at every point along the route and everywhere the Liberal chief is being acclaimed as the next Premier of the Dominion. Certainly, so far as Nova Scotia is concerned there is no question as to the result. -Premier Murray, vet- eran of Liberalism in -the province . and, in the Dominion, offered to bet Sam Jacobs. of Montreal, that Nova Scotia would return fewer Conserv- atives than did Quebec -and at that he was only figuring on one or pos- sibly two Quebec seats going to the government. or age be .with bis" Pa , moved; 6bpp A7orningtoa, .Townships, Perth County, and, i&i;,the year 1$&5 they moved to the northern boundary of McKillop, where he has since resided. Hew'es married in `the year of 1866 to Annie O'Rielly, of 'MoKlllop. Mr. Ryan' was of a congenial and kindly disposition and won the esteem and respect of all who knew him. His chiee delight was in :his home and family, where his wife, four daugh- ters and three sons survive him. The funeral .took place on =Monday. to St. Ambrose church, Brussels, where Requiem High Mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Fallon. 'Miss Alice Wilton played the mass and sang "Pie Jesu," in a sweet pathetic voice. The pall bearers were Messrs. J. Shannon, J. Lamb, T. Archibald, A. Sholdice, J. Long and Al. Rowland, and while the remains were tenderly lowered be the tomb in the Brussels Catholic Cemetery, a loving and last- ing memory will long live in the hearts, and lives of the, many who now feel that a good old man has been =taken from our amidst, and whose heartfelt sympathy goes out in all sincerity to the widow and family in this their hour of trial. Mr. Meighen continues to try and bunco the people into making the tar- iff the only issue in this election, while the people are equally persist- ent in demanding that Mr. Meighen "come clean" and give to .the country an account of his stewordship When the Premier goes through the Mari- time Provinces, at least, he will find that the people have decided to have their way as to what shall ,be the issue and that they are deaanding that the Government stand or fall on its record -and there is no doubt that the Government is about to fall, and fall hard. This week sees the Liberal leader campaigning in Prince Edward lslaed where he is receiving the same en- thusiastic receptions that have been tendered him all along the tour. And then, after the Island is covered, the leader will tour New Brunswick and return to Ottawa, fresh and fit for his further tours of the country. Mr. Meighen will receive a good reception here undoubtedly, as is his due as Prime Minister, but he will find a much different spirit prevail- ing throughout the Province than that with which Hon. Mr. King was greeted. Throughout the whole of the tour the I.iberal leader has made a plea for unity of action for the betterment of Canada. Diversity is not an evil, he has given his audiences, but while the forces of progress, whether known as Farmers, Labor or Liberals, are all working to the same great end, the betterment of conditions for all the people of this great dominion, there is not room for them to seek to at- tain their ends by dividing into groups. "The Liberal Party is as big and brood as this great Dominion," de- clared Mr. King. "There is room in it for every section, every race. class and creed. Come then, let us unite in our fight against the common enemy, striving all together for the betterment of conditions in this great Dominion, and let us sweep away the hatreds engendered by war and bring in their place goodfellowship and love, making Canada a better and a bright- er place for all." The new M•inistere in the Meighen. Cabinet are a constant source of wonder to the audiences throughout the Maritime Provinces. The ques- tion, "Who are they?" is heard on every hand, and people are given to wonder why Mr. Meighen should ex- pect support for a cabinet composed of men who have never done anything and have nothing to recommend them to the public. "You don't know them" said Dr. Beland, at Bridgewater, "well neither do I; nor does anyone else though he may have been in public life for a score of years. Mr. Meig- hen chose them because he could not get anyone else whowanted to be a Minister for a couple of months, and they went in because they had nothing to lose anyway, and in becoming the six honorary pallbearers of the Meig- hen party, they would get the title of "honorable" for a short time at least. ' Hon. Mr. King has been keeping right after, the Prince Minister be- cause of the latter's disregards in the matter of the people's rights to know the date of the election. Every- - where the story is the same of busi- \ ress being held up because merchants and others do not know whether or not the election is going to affect their Christmas trade, and buying is being held off until the date of the electisn is fixed and business men are able to make their plans accord- ingly. Rt. Hon. Mr. Meighen, in his Montreal speech, was as usual on the defensive, challenging Mr. King to -name one autocratic act of whirl the .government had been guilty. Mr. King's reply was as forceful as it was direct. • "It is not necessary for me to name any one action" said Mr. King, amid the cheers of his audience. " The whole record of the Meighen Govern- ment nt has been one of autocratic ac- tions. In railway matters; merchant marine: in putting through estimates and• expenditures under 'closure; in spending public monies by order in council and then refusing information 't to Parliament and people. and in scores of other ways, the Meighen -Government has shown itself auto- cratic in its treatment of the people" Mr. Meigben's demand that the Lib- eral chieftain also name a combine which had been allowed to operate wader the Meighen Government tariff policy, also brought a swift and sure rejoinder. "I do not need to name one." said Mr. King, "you all know then." But I will tell you what one wren said who should have known what he was . talking about." Than the ltsiberal Leader read to his large audi- encs at Bridgewater the letter of .James Murdock to Sir Robert Borden, an which Mr. Murdock told of the ef- 'forts of himself, as: a, member df, the hoard of Oommeree,'to put an 'end to profiteering and mice -fixing by. ate of filieeffdiftJ or mat- t he government to prevent tl eitTrienclA being hurt.

Deceas- ed, who Was in her eighty-ninth year, was born in Airbraiih, Scotland, com- ing to Canada when about twenty- five years of age. Up to within a few weeks of her death, Mrs. Lockhart enjoyed perfect health; her splendid vitality and keen interest in every- thing, not often surpassed by those half her years. Her christianity was a vital thing with her; her daily life radiating love and charity toward all, and her sunny optimism and buoyancy reflecting the indwelling of the Higher rature and source of her spiititual strength. The funeral services were conducted on Sunday afternoon by the Rev. A. McVicar of Inwood; "Asleep in Jesus" being very appro- priately . rendered. The interment took place at the Maitlandbank cem- etery, near Seaforth, on Monday, many of the old friends of deceased were at the depot and at the cemetery to do =honor to the memeory of a kind friend and neighbor.

GEORGE LOCKHARr The silver cord to loosed at last, And broken lies the golden bowl, And peacefully on to Heaven has paused Her pure emancipated soul. Where all were bright- thick hang. the gloom Her gentle voice is heard no more. For hidden in the darkness of the tomb Is that radiant face and the .mile it wore. Through full four score and seven years. • Her life was a ministry of love: Her faith sublime surmounted fears As triumphed she passed to realms above. Her memory hack through the yeakv could glide And pick ilo frayed threads of silver and gold And these she would weave what e'er betide Into life's checkered web a the years on- ward rolled. Al attained to love were the string, of her heart Amidst world of discordant tars: In the drama of life she played her part. And her crown is now radiant with glit- tering stars. Changeless and fast did her anchor of hope Rett deep on truth's adamantine rock. Her soul serene neer in darkness did grope, But soared benign and resigned above every shock. Tenderly does memory cherish the thought Like a sweet visioned dream of days gone by Of her artlms letters with tenderness fraught Which strengthened to a cable the family tie. When she was nearing the gates ajar. Her blessing she gave with her latest breofh To those by her side, and those afar, Then peacefully closed her eyes in death. She has gone to join the loved onm there. And wait for thane who shall later foliose. Watehing from Heaven's balconies fair, As we cross life's waters cold and shallow. For us she 'has blazed life's winding trail. And has left her footprints on the sand. If we follow her steps not one shall fail - To answer to roll •earl in that happy land. Her son. T. E.

Mr. Ross had been suffer= ing froom stomach trouble for 'some weeks previous to his death, but ne serious consequences were entertain- ed. In fact his health shad improved so much during the pant few weeks that he had frequently remarked a- bout the change.

Who 4tad erected fist atony, residence and' Weeks -id is shop on the .Tuelrersinith ',corner en land 'purchased from the lathr, William Cooper. He was a powptfiul:tnan, and: when I was 'a boy I often stood and watched him as he 'swung the ham- mer and caused the sparks "to rise like chaff on a threshing floor." He was an expert in snaking, heavy barn'' door hinges, and many of them are still in use . and as good as the day they were made. He made the first, pair of hinges for the Kippen Pres- byterian church for the front outside dpor, and they were a model of skill, beauty and 'workmanship. In addi- tion to being village blacksmith, store keeper and postmaster, he was also a conveyancer and drafted legal doc- uments for the early settlers. He generally had anapprentice and sometimes two, One of the first boys that worked for him was nam- ed Blatchford; he was drowned while bathing in Bell's mal dam. The first day I remember of being in the shop was in 1864, when my brother John, took one out to see it. Mr. Mellis was satiny, but he had a young Mow learning the trade, that they called Tom, and that boy is now the pro- prietor of the same shop and his name is Thomas Melba. My brother told him he wanted a clevis made. Tom said he had never made one but he would try, and he made one and at- though bthough it was not much like one that, he would make to -day, it neverthe- less answeredthepurpose u se and was for =ynany years in use on the farm, Another young man who learned his trade with Mr. Mettle was Henry Stewart. In 1867 Mr. Mellis took Et, trip to Scotland and engaged a man named James Gleason, (we boys call- ed bin, Lovely Jimmie), to run the shop in his absence. Jimmie, like the,, proverbial Smith, had a spark in his throat and frequently visited the tavern at the corner to have it re moved. 'Jimmie, although a tramp blacksmith, was a first-elass mechan is and daring his sojourn in Kippen he ironed a wagon for my father ant Luke Vanhorn did the woodwork, an although the wood has been replaced, the iron that. "lovely Jimmie" put on. is still there and the wagon, although it has been in use fifty-four years, is still as good as over. ,Mr. Meths', business having increased rapidly he decided to sell the blacksmith shop and devote his entire time to lis sner- chantile business and continued to de, sn until he lost his eyesight and, like John Milton,. spent his latter years' in detkness but with cheerfulness and' resignation. John Cooper, another ippen boy, purchased the blacksmith shop and conducted it successfully for several years. John was quite popu- lar and was an excellent workman. He made an iron gate for my father that is still in use on the farm- Af- te-,Mr. Robert Mellis had sold the shop, Mr, Thomas Mellis left :Kippen for some time but worked as a jour- neyman in other- towns until he, turned to Kippen forty-six years ago and .purchased the shop in which he had learned his trade, and he has conducted it successfully ever since. In addition to being a faithful dis- ciple of Vtdlean and Tubal Cain, he has also'been a faithful follower of Him who apake as never man apake. He was one of the first pupils in lee Andrew's Sabbath School and is still' a regular attendant. For many year?, Mr. Mellis has been one of the Elders' of this congregation, and has free- quently visited the sick and the dy- ing with words and prayers of cheer and consolation.

It appears that his bro- ther, Berte of the Township of Stan- ley, about twelve miles from here, was having a forty foot high silo built and was working on it with a couple e8 other men at a height of thirty odd feet, when, owing to the welt weather, the `scaffold slipped front its bearings, causing Mr. Peck and Mr. Harold Ball, who was working with hive, to fall heavily Ito the ground. Mr. Peck was the most ser- iously hurt, receiving injury to his chest as well as having some ribs broken and his face scratched, while Mr. Bell had his arm broken and other minor injuries. The third man for- tunaltely from 'itis position on the scaffold was able to clutch on to the side and prevent himself from fa11- ing.
