WINGHAM Fatal Motor Accident. — Robert Austin, of Wingham, was almost in- stantly killed here on Labor Day when he became frightened and jumped from a car its which he was riding. P. McCue, owner of the car, was driving along the Teeswater Road, about a mile out of Wingham when the axle broke and the car swerved into the ditch. Austin, ap- parently fearing that the car was going to turn over, jumped and land- ed on his head. He was rushed to the Wingham General Hospital, but died from hemorrhage shortly after being admitted. All the other occu- pants of the car, of whom two were children, kept their seats and were unhurt. Austin was married, and his wife is living in London.

COLUMBAN Death of Mrs, Bryan Downey,— There passed away at her home on Wednesday last, another of those early pioneers to whom the County of Huron owe such a debt of grati- tude for the magnificent honhea everywhere to be seen.

From what I have seen, I think it will be average. To be sure there are always some who complain. This reminds me of a story I heard. Joe and Jim, two farmers, lived alongside of each other. "A fine field of wheat you have there, Joe," said Jim. "Yes," said Joe, "but look at the oats, not the length of one fin- ger." Another year came. "You have a fine crop of grain, Joe," said Jim. "The grain is all right," said Joe, "but my hay was no good. I guess my horses and cattle will starve to death the coming winter." Another year came. "You have a fine crop this year," said Jim. "Yes, I have a whale of a crop," said Joe, "hut I fear it will be very hard on the ground."

Afte r it bountiful supper had been served, Mr. Thomas Webster, of London, addressed the gathering very aptly, expres-,ng the feeling of all present in hit ing so pleasant a re- union, and following his suggestion it was decided to have an annual re- union picnic at Lucknow.

J, Webster, Seaforth, and Fred Andersen, George Andrew, W. T. Gardiner end James Webster, of Lucknow. It was a great pleasure to all present That Mr. Dan Webster, who has been a helpless invalid for four years, was able to be present and address the gathering and all listened with the earnest attention while the much loved and highly re- spected "Mule Dan" told of the early days when his father, Daniel Webster, came sixty-nine years ago to the bush t" Lot 12, on Concession 14, Ashfield Township with his family. His uncle's family came out from the old land at the same time and made homes for themselves, all set- tling at Lncknow. Of those sixteen pioneers only three are now living and all were present on that occasion. They are Mr. Dan Webster and his sisters, Miss Elizabeth Webster and Mrs. Andersen.

Mr. Jinks, with his wife, upon receiving the let- ter, immediately motored to Crom- arty, bringing photographs of hi mother and himself when he was a child, which were identical with Mrs. Robertson's photographs, and so proved undoubtedly that this sister and brother were happily restored to each other after these many years. -The strange part is that Mr. ,Jinks has lived in Hensall for the past twenty-five years and Mrs: Robertson has lived within ten miles of this town for the past forty years, yet had no knowledge of each other.

GODERICH TOWNSHIP Death of Adam Cantelon.—It was with a shock of surprise and deep regret that the word went about shortly afternoon on Thursday last of the sodden death of Adam Cante- lon, Clerk of Goderich Township, and a well known citizen of the commun- ity. Neighbors and business associ- ates in town and country, everybody who knew him, and that included many, were alike astounded. Mr. Cantelon had been in his usual health and had been ploughing all forenoon. He came in at noon, put in his horses and came in to the house. He had had a heart spasm and found it dif- ficult to put his horses in, but on reaching the house he took some medicine, which he had for the pur- pose, and lay down and after a short time he felt better. He then eat down to dinner. Mrs. Cantelon hav- ing left the table to get something on her return found him sitting with drooping head and on speaking to him was alarmed to find that he did not answer. She immediately called for assistance and she and neighbors endeavored to restore him, but life had fled. The family had known for some time that his heart was weak but it was not considered serious and none were more shocked than his im- mediate family. The late Mr. Can- telon was a native of Gbderich town- ship, having been born on the farm on which he died. He was the young- est of the large family of the late David Cantelon, one of Goderich township's pioneers, and spent his en- tire life in the township. He was a progressive farmer and took a keen interest in public affairs. For the past seven years, since the resigna- tion of Mr, N. W. Trewartha, M.P.P., he had been township clerk, a posi- tion he filled with great acceptance. Ile was also secretary of the Gode- rich township telephone system. In politics he was a staunch Conserva- tive and he was an Orangeman of long standing, being active in Coun- ty and District lodges. He was a Methodist, being a member of Holmes- ville church. Mr. Cantelon was, of a genial disposition and was much lik- ed by all who knew him. His place in the community will indeed be hard to fill. He is survived by his wife, who was formerly Miss Beacom, and one daughter, Mrs, Charles E. Wise, also of Goderich township, and by three brothers, William and David, of Clinton, and Harry, of Watford; and one sister, Mrs. Kyle, of Brandon, Man. The funeral took place from his late residence on the 9th conces- sion on Saturday afternoon. The ser- vices at the house and graveside were conducted by the Rev. A. V. Walden, the Orangemen also taking part in the last rites. The pallbearers were: Reeve George B. Hanley, of Stanley township; George Vanderbourgh, C. G. Middleton, J. P. Sheppard and N. W. Trewartha, M.P.P., of Clinton, and John Woods.
