letic fees have finally been collected

will give a good account of himself
in most •games.

is fitting that we should meet in the

Township, where he was born on the
family homestead, Lot 4, Concession

ly his whole life was spent. For
most of his life he was engaged as a
cattle drover, and much of the best
in the export line for a great many
years had passed through his hands.
He was widely known and his fam-
iliar figure on the concession roads
will be missed by the old and young
of more than two generations. lie
was also well known on the principal
cattle markets of the Province. M •
Devereaux, was unmarried and is tl:,
last surviving member of his family
of, three. The funeral will be held
from the home of' his cousin, Mr.
William Devereaux, Jr., Huron High-
