Is in very poor health. The Misses McOlellend were called to Toronto last week on account; of the serous illness of their aunt, In the Church Union vote at the Presbyterian Ohureli the ballot stood 52 for and '70 against, as far as re- ported. We report with sincere regret the death of Mrs, Thomas Proctor; see obituary page one. Among those present at the funeral were—Mr. Jas. A. Brandon and Mr, and Mra. Robt. Bruce of Drayton, Mr. Brownridge and Mrs. Irwin of West Toronto, Mrs. Gunn of Buffalo Rev, and Mre. f3ran- don of Caledonia, and T, S. Brandon of Stratford. On Tuesday, February 28th, there passed away one of theold time resi- dents of this locality in the person of James Wilkinson, who had been in poor health for eorne time, but whose demise was hastened by a stroke of paralysis last Sunday. He was a well known farmer of the 4th line of Morris Tp., before retiring and, taking up residence in Belgrave, Mrs. Wil- kinson died 0 years ago. Four daugh- ters—Mrs, 0. Wheeler, Mrs, R. Ander- son,Mrs. Geo, Procter and Mrs. R alcOrae and four sons, John, of Grand Rapids, Mich, Wm., of Morris Tp. ; James in Florida, at present and Thos. of Escanaba, Mich.) survive. The funeral was on Friday, interment being made in the Brandon ceme- tery, Mr. Wilkinson was born in England 79 years ago where he was also married and came to Canada in his young manhood. He was an in- dustrious, genial man, who made and kept many friends. As an exponent of good farming and good stock keep- ing be was a success. In church rela- tionship he was a member of the Methodist church and in politics a Liberal.. Mr, Wilkinson, was a man of high and was ever ready to lend a helping hand ,to every good cause. On Thursday evening, February 29, the Belgrave Old Boys met at the home of Mr, D. Sproat and presented him with a gold -headed cane as a token of their high esteem for him as a citizen. It was the occasion of Mr, Sproat having reached the age of 76, and on account of his being born on February 29, this was only the 18th birthday he had seen. Mr. Sproat was born in Scotland, and came to Canada when eleven years of age. For a number of years, he was a contrac- tor at Edmondville and Seaforth, and for a few years was in the sawmilling business in Ethel. In 1895, he came to Belgrave and opened a mercantile establishment, where for many years he proved himself to be reliable, straight -forward in his business deal- ings, and prominent in every thing pertaining to the welfare of the com- munity. He is a good neighbor, a firm friend, and is familiarly known as "Uncle Dave." The Advance wish- es Mr. and Mrs. Sproat many happy years yet of residence among their Belgrave friends. The following is the address that accompanied the gold - headed cane presented ;— To Uncle Dave Sproat—On this your eighteenth birthday we, take the op- portunity of testifying to you the high esteemin which you are held among us, and of conveying to you our best wishes for your happiness and pros- perity. We rejoice to know that your birthday comes only once in four years, so that you do not grow old like the rest of us, We are gratified by the fact that when you retired. from business some time ago, you chose still to make your home among us in a place where you have lived so long, where you are so well known, and so highly respected by all, young and old alike, and where you have ever had a share whatsoever was for the welfare of the community, We wish you to accept this CANE, as a slight expres- sion of the high regard in which you are held among us. We trust that it may be long before you need it for support, but hope that it will in the mean time remind you of our friend- ship and esteem. To Mrs. Sproat also, whose excellent care has helped so much to preserve your youthful ap- pearance and spirit, we would tender our best and kindest wishes, and hope that you may be troth spared to many years of happiness and usefulness.
