(near Wroxeter) died on Saturday last after au illness of several weeks, For a time she seemed to be improving, but unexpectedly suffered a collapse and paesed awayvery suddenly. De- ceased was born in Kiln:lamas:0,4 Scot- land, though of Irish parentage. She came to this country with her parents about the year 1800, and settled in the township of Mornington, Perth Co. In the year 1870 she mune with her husband to Howick, where she proved herself a true helpmate, Mrs, McLean was of a kind and courteous disposi- tion; a warm welcome was always given to any visitor or friend. She was a very loyal member of the Pres. byterien Church, Wroxeter. A bus - nand, one son and two daughters are left to mourn their irreparable loss. Two sisters, Mrs. D. M. Rae, Howiek, 'Miss Rutherford, Philadelphia, and two. brothers, W, A. Rutherford, Wroxe- ter, John Rutherford, Calgary, are bereft of a kind and affectionate sister. The funeral, which was well attended, took place on Monday afternoon to Wroxeter cemetery, the services being conducted by Rev. L. Perrin. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved. One of our veryhighly esteemed citizens, in the person of Mr, A. Mun- ro, passed away on Saturday evening after a prolonged and painful illness of eleven months. He was born in Rosshire, Scotland. With his parents, some years ago, he came to the town- ship of Mornington, Perth Co. About rhe year 1892 he came to Wroxeter, and entered the hardware business with Mr. W. A. Rutherford. About eight years ago the partnership was dissolved, and Mr. Munro began busi- twee again as a general merchant, which he continued until his fatal ill- ness. Deceased, was a very popular and energetic business man, and was beloved by the whole community. His personality was so genial and attrac- tive that he gathered a. host of friends itround him. He was the soul of uonor and integrity, and was widely seed in the best current literature of • he day, as well as that of earlier date. Ile was a keen debater, and many a Literary. Society was helped by his oresence and. powers of speech. The village of Wroxeter owes a great deal to his ceaseless and untiring activity, and is very much poorer by his passing away. Deceased was a member of the Library Board for many years, Reeve of the village several times, and presi- dent of the' Wroxeter Rural Telephone 00. He also took the leading part in the introduction of the Continuation department in our Public School. It can be truly said of him, that. he always took an active part in every- thing that pertained to the intellectual and moral uplift of the community. In his home life he was a most devoted husband and indulgent father, There are left a widow, two daughters, three eons and one brother to mourn their sore lose. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon to Wroxeter ceme- tery', and was very largely attended. The services were conducted by Rev. L. Perrin. The whole community goes out in sympathy to the bereaved. Howick Boundary. Miss G. Wylie visited her sister, Mrs. Herb Neil, on Sunday last. Mr. D.

Imagine Wingham Oleo, expanding front that time to the prosent, until an area which would take in 131oe. vale, Olenannan and Whitechnrch, was surveyed, and built on more or less, and you will have some idea 02 what is going on. And yet there is no frenzied speculation. New build- ings are erected, not as a wild venture but from extreme necessity. Bach year sees such an increase in business that znany firms which started in a small way, have beep compelled to seek larger quarters and not being a sebilve e. to secure a suitable place to rent must of necessity build for the - The bank clearings are a fairly ac- curate indication of the state of trade. In 1911. they ansonnted to $121,438,- 304, in 1910 to $71.633,115; in 1909 to $51.561,018 ; in 1908 to $38,480,490, while customs receipts, postal revenue and building permits show corre- spondingly large increases, the latter amounting to $3,672,260 in 1011. I might mention that the cities on both sides of the river have been amalgamated into one greater Ed- pmoopnutloantio.mnaking a city of over 40,000 As rcards climate, I believe we have the finest winters in the world here, the present one being (with the exception of a few days in November and a couple of weeks in January) an almost unbroken chain of calm sup - shining days. Of course we have sometimes a cold spell, when the mercury drops perhaps to 40 or more below zero (I remember of its going - down to 58 one winter) yet as there is no wind with it one suffers less than in trying to go from Belgrave to Wingham with the road drifting full of snow. I am not trying to boost the West by disparaging the East, for I still have a warm feeling for .the old home, but I believe the exaggerated ideas we used to have regarding the severity of the western winters, tend- ed greatly to retard the progress of the whole country in the days' gone by. I was greatly interested in the description of your trip. to California Mr. Editor, but when you next decide to leave good old Huron Connty for a vacation, just come to Edmonton, and I know you will not be disap- pointed.
