Chesney.—A well known and familiar figure in the life of Hensall for many years, pass- ed away suddenly from heart trouble in Toronto on January 11th, in the person of the late James H. Chesney. The deceased was born in the town- ship in the year 1850, being a son of the late Henry Chesney, and the greater part of his life had been spent in this district. In 1880 he was united in marriage to Miss Jane Forsyth and for ten years resided on a farm in Tuckeremith, after which he studied as a 8eterinary surgeon anti in 1590 started to practise, in • Hensall, where he resided for twenty- three years. About five years ago he removed to 'Winnipeg 'where-: he re- mained for two years,., when he came back to Toronto which 'was his home until ,his death. Mr, Chesney was a man of :genial disposition, who made many friends and. enjoyed a large practice.,in Hensall and vicinity. He is. survived by his widow and a fam- ily of ,four eons and two daughters, Harry •of 'Tuckersmith; Abe, of Hamilton;Robert, of Winnipeg; Gar- field, ef' kello, Manitoba;•'Mr. Frank Treble, of Kello, and Mrs. Peter }Robin of Toronto. He is also survived by four brothers, Hugh, of Egmondville; Henry, of Seaforth; Samuel, -of To - ionto, and David, of Winnipeg, and three sisters, `Mrs. Robert Charters, of Tuckersmith; Mrs. George McLeod, Exeter, and Mrs. Thomas Grieve, of F.gmondville. The funeral services were held from the home of Mr. Hugh Ches- I should occupy. the Reeve's chair for Dedication Services -The dedica- ra tion of the new Masonic Hall in the Thomas Hudson and Alex. Smith, but as Mr. Smith has since withdrawn his name, the contest will be between Mr. Geiger and Mr. Hudson , and promises to be a very spirited one, as both these men have served in the past as reeves and have both strong supporters and workers, but it is gen- erally conceded that the man who gets the most votes will be the win- ner. For one school trustee, to fill the place of Mr. Geiger, Mr. Thomas Welsh received the nomination along with others, but the rest having with- drawn Mr. Welsh will go in by ac- clamation, and for Office of Utility, Mn, G. C. Petty gets the office by ac- clamation, the others having with- drawn. The meeting was very large- ly attended, showing the great inter- est in the coming contest. Mr. Hud- son, the first speaker, made a very short address and asked his friends to give him their support. Mr. Geiger, the next speaker, spoke at consider- able length, dealing with the matters at issue and asking very hearty sup- port. Mr. Smith was • the closing speaker and reviewed the situation and answered the charges made nd closed a- gainst the council .of 1922, a by saying if he allowed his name to stand on the ballot he would be .pleas- ed to receive a good large vote of the ratepayers: But as he has -since with- drawn his name,' the contest' narrows down to Mr. Geiger and Mr: Hudson. Mr. A. Murdock,-as•village' clerk and chairman• for the-oteasion, diadbatg- ed his duties very: ably and impartia - .ly and the meeting wasv'mgre mark- ed by a 'discudsion. of '. giruatiolta at issue limn. by personal. -abuse, or accusations which•was a good feature of the speaking. , .
