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. BAYFIELD Breezes. -Wm.

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 w P H Fl b 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.

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 Singers will give a concert in the church here on Thursday evening, February 15th.

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.

Dr. Hardie and family have been good esidents of our village for over seven ears and will be missed by a large ircle of friends, and also by the othodiat church and societies con- ected with it, of which they were aimed members.
