Gillespie, or "Old John," as he is affectionately known to thousaads of residents of Exeter and vicinity, many of whona low young men and women, he carries in hie `bus" from Exeter Station to Exeter town when they were babies in arms was an interested visitor at the Western Fair yesterday. He has been engaged in the "bus" business fdr 38 years. He, was born in 1842 now boasting almost 72 summers Most of his years must havebeen summers, for he is now hale and hearty and appears good for a long time yet. In the titne that he has been driv- ing passengers between the station and town Mr, Gillespie estimates that he has travelled over 480,000 miles. He has made the same trip twice da- ily, except Sunday for 38; years, and Lt fe annile each way fro.m„Eireter to the place where the Bruce train stops, (The information. is not exactly cor- rect. as Mr. Gillespie made the trill four times daily, and the distance is not qtiite a mile -Ed) -- WRONGLY LABELLED „ — The Gold arid Dross Columns of the Toronto Saturday Night had the item given .below last week.

Lutz -which was circulated here last week, wile received with keen regret by hi meny friends in town and Country The ,name of Dr. Lutz is familiar and will long live in many a housdholcl, .He was a man of un- doubted integrity and a general lay-. mite with all classes of people. Fox several years the deceased has been in failing health from heart trouble, buf he was always hopeful and after mane a season of indisposition his health would revive ancl lead him to look forward with some degree of confidence to a partial recovery. For some little time past, however, the grasity of his situatioa seemed to be unmistakable and gradually the cur..." tain was rung, down, on his brave and kindly life, and he passed away on Saturday last at the ega qf 7o years. Born at Flarnboro' Ontario, the de- ceased received his early education at that place. He was a young man of bright intelleet, a good student and was possessed of keen percep- tions and a retentive memory. Atter leaving the public school in his native town Inc attended the Col- legiate at Galt and later took up the study of medicine at the Medical College, Toronto. He passed all his examinations successfully and later took a post -graduate course at New York. He first entered upon the Practice. of his profession at Glen - alien then at Elmira, and later at Ex- eter, He was eminent in his profes- sion and enjoyed a successful practice for many years. About 28 years ago Inc retired from active practice and entered the drug business here, which he conducted successfully up to about seven years ago, when he purchased a drug business in Landsdown and -which he conducted up, to a short time previous to his demise. While conspicuous in his profession and business career, he was assidu- ous in the performance of every, duty as a useful citizen. He served for several years on the school board here and his advice, and counsel were characterized with prudence and wis- dom. - • • During his long residence .here many questions of importance occupi- ed the attention of this community and the part he took was -such as might be expected from his judicious and well regulated mind, but be was always calm and unobtrusive in' his manifestations, and his whole life was free from every, taint of •ostentation or display. A true man, a staunch friend, a patriotic citizen, ,Dr. Lutz, will carry with him to the' grave, the record of a life well lived and of duty faith - full perloimed. The- deceased is survived by his wife and one son, Frank, who reside at Gananoque; also two brothers and four sisters -Wm. H. ,Lutz of Galt; P. C Lutz of San Francisco, Cal.; Mrs. Baikie of Hamilton; Mrs. W. 11. Toohy of Toronto; Mrs. (Dr.) Cow- en qf London and Mrs. W. He Mon - cur of town. • Tbe remains will be brought here by train and the funeral will take place from the residence of Mr. W.
