HARTRY IIORTICULTURALIST St,James' Arts Club Jour- nal Contains Article On His Work. WAS GUEST SPEAKER A recent number of the Arts Club Journal, the official per of the St. James' Arts rOlub, eontaink a splen- did tribute to the date Wil Hartry. Mr. Hartry was a get .speaker at 'bbe Club on a number of occasions. The article says: iA few days ago there deed in our town a man well known to• the Arts Club. This man was William Hartry. He came to our Club as guestspeak- er twice. The Arts Ciln►b' Journal wishes to express its regret and ;rev- erence for 'Mr. Hartry. • In doing so we hope, an fact we know, we are eat - pressing the feelings of every mend-_ ,;ber of the Club.. Mr. Hartry was no ordinary scan. • He was a very ! extraordinary man • He was a model citizen of our tower a model workman at his trade-ecab.. inet making—a model gardener, and an apiarist of the first rank, a model of uprightness, good living and a thorough, practical Christian- . He was hospitable, cheerful, just and hunvble. We wish everyone in. SeatorV would recognize this fact: The indin- ence he wielded in this town, in his own unassuming way, was marvel:. lous. It was directly owing to his in- fluence, example and exhortation tha,. Seaforth is to -day and has been- for some years, the most beautiful town of its size in Ontario. His knowledge of shrubs, flowers and trees, and his willingness to share this knowledge, is in a great part accountable for so large a percentage of the people of Seaforth having homes surrounded by beautiful trees, flowers and neat well kept lawns. Mr: Hartry lectured twice here • in our Club, once on bees and' once on flowers. On both occasions he show- ed clearly that he was a practical scientist of the first order. His knowledge was varied, accurate and thorough. Everyone loved him, in his private ilife: According to 'his own, statement he never smoked nor drank. On cue occasion he stated frankly that it was wee with the money he saved by this abstinjence that he was en- abled to carry on many experiments with flowers and bees. 'He had a keen alertness of mind and a breadth of outlook on all sub- jects, which kept him very interest- ed in life and mien. This vitality, which he retained to the end, was most refreshing to behold, especially in an old man. We can now only hope and pray that the God of Jus- tice, who is also the God of beauty and order, will 'reward this just man, who has done so much to bring a lit- tle happiness to men by making our world more beautiful. • Township Council Holds Meeting The Council of Tuckersmith met in the Town Hall, Seaforth, on Satur- day, O•cto'ber 27th, with all members present.
