WAR ECHOES
By and by the British will cease
sending out little parties to be gobbled
up by the Boers.
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. •

Another Pioneer Gone
The des th of Mr. Malcolm Keith, of
the 5th con. of Culross, on Thurslay
October the 26th, rotnoved another of
those who settled in the township
when it was nothing but bush. 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.
Minutes were Head Mica, - - Hamilton.
