A British so:dier can always de de- pended on to protect a lady, even if her name is Smith. Things do not look as black with General White now as they did a couple of weeks since. The story tha "Joubert" had been killed was a "fake." But he should have his life well insured. The Canadian contingent will arrive in South Africa before our next issue and probably be in time for a share in the heavy fighting. While the British and the Boers were fighting on Tatham's faria a few days ago, the farm hands took a day off to witness the Boer hunt. • ANNUAL MEETING Of the Agricultural Experimen- tal Union.

Mr. Keith had almost reached the alloted span of life being but two months short of seventy years of age when he died. He was born in Argyleshire, Scotland, on Christmas Day, 1829, and came to Toronto with his parents in 1834. His father, aunt and sister died there of the cholera. The family afterwards moved to Eldon township, Simcoe Co. Mr. Keith came to Cul- ross in 1853 and squatted on the land which he afterwards acquired at the great land sale at Southampton in 1854 and on which he lived untill the time of his death. He had twice prev- ious to this, in 1849, been through that section of country lying between Kin- cardine though it was not until 1853, that he visited Culross. He was mar- ried twice, his first wife being Mary Cermichael, daughter of Donald Car michael then of Cullross. She died in 1880 leaving a family of eight children seven of whom are living. In 1881 he married Miss Catherine Black, daughter of David Black, of N. Dakota who still survives him. Of the seven surviving children, two sons and one daughter live at the old home whilst Mr. Donald Keith, and Mrs. Borton also live in Culross. The other two daughters Mrs. Win. Johnston and Mrs. Gregor McKinnon live in Mani- toba. Mr. Keith was an adherent of the Presbyterian church and a Reform- er in politics. Ilospitality was one of his virtues And no person was ever turned away from his door hungry. Mr. Jas.Reid who knew him the last 45 years, said that in the olden days when log houses were the only kind that were built, he, Mr. Keith and two others who ate long since dead, were the four corner men at many a house raising. When the Culross spioneers had their phot e taken Mr. Keith was one of the group. While Mr. Keith had not been at all well for some time, death came somewhat suddenly, as he had been in Teeswate- on the Fri- day preceeding his death. hus one by one the pioneers aro passing away and it will only he a short time until there will be few living to tell the story of the early settlement ot Culross. The funeral on Saturday last was largely attended by the friends of the deceased. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire neighbor- hood in their loss.
