CROMARTY
Death of Mrs. Thomas Scott, Sr, -
One by one the pioneers of our town-
ship are passing over the great divide.
This week it is our sad duty to chron-
icle the death of Mrs. Thomas Scott,
Sr., which took place at the home of
her son-in-law, Mr. Norman Park,
Cromarty, on Saturday morning last.
Mrs, Scott had been a sufferer from
rheumatism for almost half a cen-
tury. but was almost always able to
be about until a week ago, when she
was taken ill with congestion of the
lungs, and although for one so frail,
she upa goodfight,butshe
could
put K ,
not shake it off. Mrs. Scott was born
in Syracuse New York, in 1841, and
al the age of five years, came with
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John
Csrterell, to Fullerton township,
where she resided until her marriage
to her late husband in 1864. They
lagan their married life on the bush
farm, Lot 7, Concession 12, Ilibbert,
and the intervening years between
then and the death of her hirsband
in 1906, saw great changes. Since
1,912 she has resided with her daugh-
ter, 51rs. Park, in 1'runtarty. Seven
children were horn to bless the unitur,
ail of which survive: Mrs. Walter
Marshall and Mr's. N. R. Park, of
Cromarty; Mrs. R. P. Whyte, Van-
couver; Mrs. John Cuthill, Winthrop;
!1lrs, .1. C. Laing, Seaforth; James T.,
of Granton, and John G., on the old
homestead; one sister, Mrs. T. Prid-
ham, of Mitchell, sixteen grandehil-
d&en and four great grandchildren al-
so survive. Deceased was a member
of the Presbyterian Church, Crom-
arty, and while in health was rarely
absent .thorn her pew on the Sabbath.
She was of a very retiring disposi-
tion and was a great lover of her
home, her flowers and her garden.
The remains were quietly laid to rest
in Cromarty cemetery on Monday af-
te> noon. It is to this generation we
owe so much. They left us a land
flawing with milk and honey; a land
which in the first place established
righteousness which alone exalteth a
nation, where peace abound more
than in any land under the sun. Oh
that the people of this age could in
some measure, appreciate the heri-
tage that has been handed down to
us from this noble band of pioneers.

Serious Fire. -On Tuesday morning ri
last, between the hours of 10 and 11, v
fire was discovered by Mr. T,. W. v
Parlmer, bursting olit in the dwelling it
part of his premises, over his boot
and shoe store and gent's furnishing,
and when first seen by Mr. Parlmer, a
through a little opening in the dwel- in
ling floor, the fire had gained such is
headway and the smoke was iso dense r
that he could not get upstairs. He o
h

pl
fire was Basin got golppletrelyi, under
control, but not before messily, all the
upstate rooms were burnt and char-
red in a manner that made it almost
impossible to think that after the
fire had gained such headway it could
ever have been controlled. Orlr vil-
lagers and firemen are certainly en-
titled to great credit for their won-
derful work in staying the flames
which threatened, not only to destroy
the block owned by Mr. J. W. Ort-
wein,
ro-wein, and occupied by Mr. Parlmer,
but the whole business section to the
west of it, as the wind was from the
east. The fire is supposed to have
sturted from an overheated stove and
as Mrs. Parlmer was in the local hos-
pital and Mr. Partner and son both
oat of the dwelling part at the time,
the flames gained quick headway.
Both Mr. Parlmer and Mr. Ortwein,
the owner of the store, have some
insurance.
The Carnival. -The second carnival
held in our rink on Tuesday, evening
last was quite largely attended and
a goodly number were in carnival at-
tire. The Citizen's Band was in at-
4eedance to enliven the proceedings
azld the rink splendidly lighted up
p ted quite a fairy like appear-
ance with so many costumed skaters.
The following is the prize list: Ladies'
character costume, Miss Salina Beav-
er, Miss Ethel Murdock; gent's char-
acter costume, Samuel Rennie, Jamey
Sangster; girls' character costume,
Pearl Elder, Mae Simpson; girls' race

Elder; men's open race, one mile, Lee

Briefs -With the present good
sleighingeleighing large quantities uf grain,�
wood and logs are being brought in-
to market and meet with ready de-
murtd and good prices. -Mr. W. It.
Horton, of Stratford, is visiting rel-
atives and friends in Hensall arid
vicinity. - The Sacrament of the
Lord's Supper was observed in Carmel
Presbyterian church on Sunday last
at the morning service, but owing to
the severity of the weather and drift-
ed roads, the attendance was not as
large as usual, the spacious church
generally being filled on such occas-
ions -Wedding bells are ringing in
the near vicinity as we are writing
these items.--Cuul has never been as
scarce in the village as during the
past month. -Our villagers certainly
hive reason to feel very thankful that
the fire on Tuesday forenoon last did
net spread. It is a lesson to us all
to bc' most careful with lights and
stoves and anything that endangers
property and emphasizes the neces-
sity of having fire -fighting equip-
ments in good order and at the same
time planning for something better.
Wsventure to say there are no men
better to be found in any place for
fighting fires than our citizens, as
one of them said when complimented
on the good work done, "We have had
good practice in the village in past
Ms." It is wonderful what good
headed, active and resourceful
men, such as we have here, can do in
time of an emergency. -Under the
auspices of the Mission Circle and
League of the Methodist church, the
Peerless Concert Company Jubilee

Sunday will be in the morning, "The
Faith of Jonathan," and in the even-

-On Friday evening last the instal-
lation of officers in the Oddfeilow'a
Lodge here took place when Distriet
Deputy Grand Master, Dr. Harbur*,
of Seaforth, accompanied by Mr.
Smith, of that town, very ably in-
stalled the officers for the incoming
term, after which refreshments were
served in the lodge room and a very
Pleasant hour or so spent in social
intercourse. Addresses were given by
the District Deputy Grand Master,
and by Bros. Smith, Passmore, Fee,
Petty, Sutherland, McKay, and others,
-The present and past cold weather
has been most favorable for our skat-
ng rink and very much interest cen-
tres in it, and particularly so are the
men's racing contests, but so far Lee
Hedden is ahead in the races, but
nme good skaters are- fast coming
o the front. -On account of the ex-
trrme cold on Sunday last the at -
I tondance at the churches was smaller
than usual. -Mrs. Robert Bonthron,
who was in Brucefield for a time with
her daughter, Mrs. Simpson, is` at
resent visiting iin g he r daughter, Mrs.
Cleve Joynt, of this village. -Mrs. T.
W, Parlmer, who is in Mrs. Paterson's

ears and will be missed by a large
ircle of friends, and also by the

practice to Dr. G. L. Smith, of Chica-
go, who is here at the present time
