Advance McLean Bros., Publishers WEBSTER REUNION, 1926 The Webaters held their annual re- union picnic at Jowett's Grove, Hay- field, on June 12th. From early morning until noon the cars from far and near arrived, each bringing its load of happy picnickers. 'Until noon everybody was busy renewing old ac- quaintances and registering. There were about three hundred and fifty present. ere - After a sumptuous dinner of roast ',erfowl, all were entertained by a nun - ler of short speeches. Mr. Thomas Webster, of Deeroit, president of the reunion'intreduced the speakers..Mr: Irwin Reeve of Hayfield, welcomed the visitors to the cleanest, prettiest summer resort in Western Ontario. Aftera few remarks by Rev. Mr. Dur- rant, of Varna, Miss Mary M. Me - Naughton, of Kippen, gave the form- al address of welcome. After wel- coming the aged aunts and other rel- atives from the north, she continued her address, as follows: "When Daniel Webster and his wife and their sturdy sons left Tipperary in 1837, for the enchanted land that lay far away, it was not to cross the big pond in a fast steamship with all modern conveniences,but to spend weeks sailing or rowing in the old- fashioned open boats, suffering untold hardships. "After landing, weeks were spent travelling -to the first homestead at Norval, where they resided until 1864 and Where the rest of the family were born. Once again they undertook en - other arduous journey to Lucknow. In the same year his five nephews, sons ef Thomas Webster, also felt the call to the new land of opportunity. All but Henry, who lived near Geornee town, settled at Lucknow. Later mafly of the sister's children came to Can- ada. To -day, within a radius of 40 miles of the town, dozens of their descendants may be found. Many found it advisable to move farther afield to follow their chosen spheres of work. No matter from near - or far, all will remember these noble pioneers, who carved from the virgin forest these beautiful rurathomes we now enjoy. What an example of perseverance they give to us, who are at life's morn with the majority of our mountains of difficulty to climb." Mr. Samuel Alton, of Lucknow, re- plied and thanked the friends for the kind hospitality. Mr. Harry McGee, first vice-president of Eaton's, Toron- to, entertained the diners with Irish jokes on behalf of the relatives. _ Mr. George Coleman, of Varna, pre- sented a small token to the only sur- viving pioneers, Mrs. Flora Webster, Mrs. Mary Anderson, Mra. Grace Webster, Miss Lizzie Webster. Early in theafterpoon, three games of softball were played.

The Executive decided at a commit- tee meeting to hold the next reunion at Lucknow oh the second Saturday in June. AN ELECTION COMING To the *Editor of The Expositor: We are apparently going to have a provincial election -in Ontario- shortly, which will be boosted upon us by the present Government, whose non-com- reital policy in respect to Prohibition so successfully landed them where they now are. Their 4.4 legislation made them ins dependeet of their pre-election sup- porters during their term of office now expiring. This suttees in the past makes them enter the coming contest with a non-commital policy such as served their purpose so wonderfully In the past, and makes them bold in their effort to secure the liquor vote now. One of the reasons that makes it appear as if an election would be forced upon without warning, is the fact that the lfquor element is filling the press with literature, trying to make it appear as if our prohibitory law* were not observed, and those enacted by Uncle Sam as being an nutire failure. In one of our daily papers lately, a correspondent declared he was him- self a teetotaler and had no use for the stuff,.but closed his letter bypro- posing a handling of the poison by the Government, who would dish it out to its victims at the lowest price pos- sible, which, of course, would mean that the Government in power would get the support on election day of the manufaeturers, dealers and their vic- tims. In another daily paper letters are appearing with articles signed by parties in different 'sets of the States, showing the prohibitory Itiers there to be a failure, and by some of the liquor boosting papers the most ridiculous figures are quoted as to the extent of the bootlegging business carried on there. These, we must expect being in evidence when an election is in view. .They, however, are not facts, but only go to show the devices of our lawmakers and enforcers who be - some slaves to the‘traffic for election purposes.

Haugh took the Scripture reading, after which Mrs. James Mc- Queen read the lesson for the day out of the study book, Prayer and Mis- sions. A number of years ago the burden of the churches' prayers used to be that God open doors of nations long closed to the Gospel. Thank God we need pray those prayers no more. The doors are open wide, all of them. Hardly a shut -away nation remains, outside of the sound of the gospel bells. When John R.

Horticultural Society.—The fall bulb orders are going direct to }Tolland this year after each member has chos- en from the almost confusing assort- ment given. Let Brucefield become known as one of the real little beauty spots in Ontario, known to motorists as a village where, obviously, the peo- ple really care for their homes and places of business and take a keen joy in making them attractive out- side as well as in. Paint and a few shrubs and flowers can work won- ders. Try it and see. That is being proved to everyone's satisfaction right in our village already this season. There are some hindrances, but public opinion will remove that in time as improvements continue on a larger scale. Perennial borders have been started, annuals are coming along by leaps and bounds, and now is the time to plan for the fall planting of Dutch bulbs. None but top sizes have been considered. The tulips are specially fine, having been chosen by the Secre- tary after actually seeing them in bloom. One ahould never consider the, dollar side of a garden as the import- ant part, but, in any case, our Society is getting the lowest prices to be found anywhere. Plant your tulips in groups of two's and three's, or half dozen's, here and there over your gardens, rather than in stiff beds and rows, and in a couple of years they will have multiplied surprising- ly. For real beauty, keep the colors separate. All bulbs take kiiidly to this system of grouping. With small clump; spread about, the later gar- dening is not interfered with in any way. Plan your own garden and then make up your mind that no more de- lightful birthday and Christmas gifts could be found than these bulbs from the Netherlands. The Late Mrs. Robert Murdoch.— The community was saddened on Wed- nesday, June 2nd, when it became known that Mrs. Robert Murdoch had passed away shortly before three o'clock that morning. Mrs. Murdoch had been in failing health for some time and had been confined to her bed the past six months, during which she suffered severely. The patience and fortitude with which she bore her suffering was the constant admiration and marvel of those who knew how great was her trial. Jeanie Boyd Martin was born sixty-eight years ago on the second concession of Tucker- smith,-H.R.S., daughter of the late James and Margaret Taylor Martin, moving to the fourth conoession, L. R. S., where she lived until her mar- riage to Mr. Robert Murdoch on Aug- ust 24th, 1887, and since then she has been a resident of Brucefield. Be- sides her husband, she is survived by three children, Mrs. William McKen- zie, Stanley; Jean, at home, and An- drew, of Detroit, who were all with her when she died. One daughter, Elizabeth, pre -deceased her some years ago. Six sisters and two brothers al- so survive, Misses Maggie, Isabel and Jessie Martin, at home; Mrs. Louis Tebbut, Tuckersmith; Mrs. Hugh Mc- Lachlan. Stanley; Mrs. Luff, Hamit- ton• William and John, at home. A sister and brother predeeeased her, Mrs. John Aikenhead and Mr. Jamas Martin, Seaforth. She had been a member of the Presbyterian burch, becoming a member of the United Church last year, and was a life member of the W. M. S. The funeral took place from her late reeidence on Priday afternoon to Baled% Cemetery. Rev. C. Gordon Armour officiated at both- house and grave. The pallbear- ers were Messrs. Lords Tebbtit, Hugh McLachlee, George McCartney, Alex. Broadfoot, 'Hobert Doig and John • Wood. Her funeral was one of the largest ever held around here. Friends and relatives were present from De- troit, London, ilensall, Seatorth, Olin - ton, Blyth, B.Igrave, Viringham, and many sent beautiful flowers as seem- ed but fitting, as Mrs. Murdoch was a great lover of flowers and spent much time in the cultivation of them. Much sympathy is felt for the family in their bereavement. "A life eo quite, good and true, And gentle as the evening dew Will never end, though be has passed.
