Improve the Farm Buildings.
If barns and o her outbuildings were
painted it would add much to their
appearance, and he coat would be trifl-

farmers would b .ve plenty of time on

ings themselves, if they do not want to
employ a paint , Contrast a painted
building with a unpainted one, and see
what a differen there is in apparent

Died°at L cknow.
We are sorry to lea n of the death of
Thomas Anderson, hich occurred at
Lnoknow, on Saturd y, Sept. 1st, at the
age of 82 years. De eased was one of
the pioneers of As eld, settling just
about a mile north o Dungannon, where
he continued to resid until a few months
ago, when he retired to Lnoknow. He
was a man of sterlih character, of more
than ordinary intellig nce, and a most
active and zealous me ber of the Metho-
dist charoh for many ars, having been
one of the principal o ials for 60 years.
It is safe to say that fe men stood higher
in the esteem of the ommnnity thea
Mr. Anderson, whos long life gave
evidence of Christian i tegrity. In poli-
tics he was an active iberal, and few
conventions have been held at which he
was not present. Th above refers to
the death of the fatlesr of Mr. A. R.
Anderson of this tows.
