other old and respected pioneer is gor..e in
the person of James Carr, who died at his
home, in Lower Wingham, on Saturday
night last, at the ripe old age of 71 years
and 5 months. Mr Carr was a man that
was highly respected by all who knew him.
Deceased had only been confined to his bed
f or about a week, but had not been feeling
well for some months past. The trouble
which caused his death was neuraligia of
the nerves, from wbioh he suffered intense
pain for a few days. He came to Canada
from Stanley, Perthshire, Scotland,in 1853
and settled at Caledonia, from there be
came to Wingham in 1862, and had lived
ever since that time in Lower Wingham,
with the aIcaption of three years spent in
Clinton ; ile was therefore one of the early
pioneers of this district. He was a
Presbyterian in religion and a staunch
Liberal in politics. lie was married to
Miss Isabella Wishart before leaving
Scotland, who survival him, besides a
family of seven children—William,Georgs,
Alfred, dames, Anna, Bella and Mlnnie,all
Of whom aro living M home with
the exception of William, who is
married and lives in town. Mr and Mr*
Carr, aecompaniod by their daughter
Minnie, were on a trip to Scotland three
years ago, where they spent a pleasant
time, viewing the scenes of their ohild-
bood. The remains were interred in the
Wingham cemetery on Tuesday afternoon,
the funeral being largely attended by the
old friends and acquaintances of the 3e.

will have the sympathy of the community

CLEAN THE SIDEwALES.—A good many
people clean their sidewalks par-
ticularly after every snow fall, others do
it once each winter or less often. Now it
is of very little benefit to pedistrains if ono
man cleans his walk and his neighbor
does not. Please take warning. Get your
snow shovel out and remove the surplus
snow or ice, not so much for the benefit of
pedestrians, but to give you an appetite
for your meals.
