ESCORT T0. THE KING.
The sad news ofthe regrettable
death of King Edward VII. on Friday
eveninghaat, put Mr. Wm. Gould,.
one of Goderich township's' most re-
spected • residents, in a reminiscent
mood, and as he discussed the possible
changes which would follow, he re-
called to The News -Record -same of
the happenings -during the visit ' 0f
the then Prince of Wales to Canada
in i1860, Mr. Gould, who was at.
that time living at Hamilton,belong-
ed to the lst Wentworth Cavalry, and
during the visit -of the . Prince and
bis party •to that city, his company,
under command of Captain Bull, were
three days on escort duty, accompany-
ing ;the Prince's party, during which
time a visit was paid to-Dundurn
Castle, Sir Allen McNab being then
in residence there. Tho Provincial
Pair was also in progress .at the
time in Hamilton and great crowds
greeted the Prince 'whenever he ap-
peared in public. Mr, Gould spoke
in tenter terms of the young Prime,
"He was a merry, Laughing boy then,".
said 'he. Then he related a little in-
cident which 'he al:tnessed. A
young girl threw a boquet to the
Prince which struck him on the
cheek and fell into the carriage. The
Prince picked up the flowers and
turning a smiling face to the doper
be gallantly raised his hat. One
thing which remained in the memory
of Mr, Gould was the fact that a
young Indian chief, in war paint and
feathers, nose rings and jewels, was
amongst .the Prince's body guard,
riding close to his carriage.
"IIs has been a good King," added
1.fr. Gould, "but he W451 then but a
boy and though half a century has
elapsed his death fiat recalled the
past so vividly that it see 1s but
a matter of months. I and now in
niy 78th year, almost ten years older
than King aldWead, but Ia thank God

THE OUTLOOK IN SOUTH. 'Ht1RON
Mr. R. a. McLean of Kippen says
that the land in South Huron was
seeded in .first-class condition and the
grain-' was practically all in before
the wet spell came. Growth is slow,
but the new crop. looks well, Some
young stock has been turned' on 'pas-
ture, but most of the animals ° will
be stabled for same bine yet. There
will be a large acreage of corn pleat-
ed this year, and .some new silos are
going ng up. Silage is popular with
those who use it. After matte- years'
experience with it 'I would say to
stockmen, "Build a silo and stedy
growing corn." Tliere: is considerable
drainingbeing done this spring, and
there would be more if it could be
done, Help is 'too scarce, Farmers
must come to thb four -horse . stage

ESCORT T0. THE KING.
The sad news ofthe regrettable
death of King Edward VII. on Friday
eveninghaat, put Mr. Wm. Gould,.
one of Goderich township's' most re-
spected • residents, in a reminiscent
mood, and as he discussed the possible
changes which would follow, he re-
called to The News -Record -same of
the happenings -during the visit ' 0f
the then Prince of Wales to Canada
in i1860, Mr. Gould, who was at.
that time living at Hamilton,belong-
ed to the lst Wentworth Cavalry, and
during the visit -of the . Prince and
bis party •to that city, his company,
under command of Captain Bull, were
three days on escort duty, accompany-
ing ;the Prince's party, during which
time a visit was paid to-Dundurn
Castle, Sir Allen McNab being then
in residence there. Tho Provincial
Pair was also in progress .at the
time in Hamilton and great crowds
greeted the Prince 'whenever he ap-
peared in public. Mr, Gould spoke
in tenter terms of the young Prime,
"He was a merry, Laughing boy then,".
said 'he. Then he related a little in-
cident which 'he al:tnessed. A
young girl threw a boquet to the
Prince which struck him on the
cheek and fell into the carriage. The
Prince picked up the flowers and
turning a smiling face to the doper
be gallantly raised his hat. One
thing which remained in the memory
of Mr, Gould was the fact that a
young Indian chief, in war paint and
feathers, nose rings and jewels, was
amongst .the Prince's body guard,
riding close to his carriage.
"IIs has been a good King," added
1.fr. Gould, "but he W451 then but a
boy and though half a century has
elapsed his death fiat recalled the
past so vividly that it see 1s but
a matter of months. I and now in

THE OUTLOOK IN SOUTH. 'Ht1RON
Mr. R. a. McLean of Kippen says
that the land in South Huron was
seeded in .first-class condition and the
grain-' was practically all in before
the wet spell came. Growth is slow,
but the new crop. looks well, Some
young stock has been turned' on 'pas-
ture, but most of the animals ° will
be stabled for same bine yet. There
will be a large acreage of corn pleat-
ed this year, and .some new silos are
going ng up. Silage is popular with
those who use it. After matte- years'
experience with it 'I would say to
stockmen, "Build a silo and stedy
growing corn." Tliere: is considerable
drainingbeing done this spring, and
there would be more if it could be
done, Help is 'too scarce, Farmers
must come to thb four -horse . stage
