The Great Smut
and Germ Killer
Seeding time is at baud. Better
Mike things in time and have your
grain treated with a solution of For-
maldehyde before planting. The
value of this as a smut killer for oats
and barley has been demonstrated
year after year, until now its use has
become quite general, Our For-
maldehyde is the best that can be
obtained, is4o% strong and a pound
bottle will do i•oct 8o to too bushels
of grain. If you have not used it
come in and see about it—it will cer-
tainly pay you, as the cost le very
trifling as compared with the im-
proved grade of grain that is ob-
tataed.

ments, viz, nervous prostration, perit-

from use of canned goods. We are

A WELcosm VISITOR.— This week
john Ritchie, of Deckerville, Sanlac
Co., Mich•, was visiting his uncle,
Chas, Ritchie, of John street, Brussels,
The visitor is a son of the late John
Ritchie who died 5 yearsago at the Michi-
gan town above mentioned. He was a
former resident of the 8th line of Morris
township and Mr. Ritchie jr, claims
this fine portion of land as his birth-
place. In the locality where the visitor
has 4
it from o
miles North of Port
luron, a specialty is made of sugar
ets, beans and chickory. The latter
own in rows and looks something like
parsnips. The crop sold last year at
$7.40 a ton. There is a $2oo,000
plant operated by a Company at Port
Huron. Perhaps our coffee would be
better if the Michiganders "cut out"
the ohickory. Mr. Ritcbie bas 16o
acres of landand looks prosperous add
we guess he has the goods to back it up,
Mrs. Ritchie accompanied her husband
to Canada but spent her time visiting
her sister, Mrs. Simmons, at St. Thomas
Who has been i11. The bone we have
to pick with this stirring son of the soil
is that he bas never been back here
since he went to Michigan witb his
parents 43 years ago. He pledged Tire
P02 in 1119 pleasant call at our sanctum
that he would positively agree to re-
appear inside 4o years anyhow, so now
We will not lie awake at nights worry-
ing "Where is our wandering boy to-
night" Mr. Ritchie is a bright, chatty
man who takes great pleasure in dis-
cauting an the Garden of Eden they
possess in Uncle Sam's domain.

Mits. (Ref) J. L. KERR CALLED To
HER REWARD — Peaceful as a tired
child would fall to sleep in the arms of
its mother came the closing out of a
long, happy and useful life to Mrs.
(Rev.) J. L. Kerr at her home, Brussels,
Monday night about 10.3o o'clock.
While she bad been failing noticeably
for the past year she was able to be a-
bout as usual until Saturday and when
medical attendance was sought there
did not appear to be any ailment to
treat, just a nervous collapse. She put
up a brave fight but the flesh proved
too frail and her spirit went to God who
gave it. Mrs. Kerr's maiden name was
Margaret J. Rutledge and she was born
on January 7111, 78 years ago, in Sligo
town, Ireland being a daughter
of Wm. Rutledge, a merchant.
Here she was united in mar-
riage to the late Rev. J. L. Kerr,
who pre -deceased her by 17 years,
his translation taking place on Palm
Sunday. The event was always a mark-
ed occasion to the widow who spoke of
it a number of times last week. In 2853
Mr. and Mrs. Kerr came to Canada and
for 3o or 35 years they labored most as-
siduously and successfully on many
circuits in connection with the Metho-
dist ministry and it is only her just meed
of praise to say no pastor was ever more
loyally supported in bis work than was
Mr. Kerr by his helpmeet. She made
and kept hundreds of friends, many of
whom answered the Roll Call of the
skies long years ago. On superannu
ating Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Kerr located in
Brussels 3o years ago last July and botb
continued their labors here until called
to their reward. Mrs. Kerr was speci-
ally interested in the Women's Mission-
ary Society in which she was President
for many years. Faithfully she attended
to many duties in Brussels as was her
custom in previous days and her talents
in testimony and prayers were freely
used to theglory of Go 1. She leaves to
mourn her demise 2 sons (W. H. Kerr,
of THE POST, Brussels, and Rev. W. E.
Kerr, of Welland) and 4 daughters (Mrs.
J. J. Gilpin, Brussels ; Mrs. (Dr.)
Cavanagh, Owen Sound ; Mrs. W. A.
Matthews, of Colpoys Bay, whose hus-
band is in charge of that circuit in con-
nection with the Methodist church ;
and Mrs. May Turnbull, who lived at
home for a number of years and faith-
fully filled her labor of love in attending
to every comfort for ber mother.) One
daughter and a son died in infancy,
Rev. Dr. Rutledge, of Clinton, who is
at present at the John Hopkins Hospi-
tal, Baltimore, where be recently under.
went an operation is an only brother and
Mrs, H. Metcalf, of Toronto, and Mrs.
H. Harley, of Swan Lake, are surviv-
ing sisters, No mother ever loved ber
family more than the subject of this
notice and humbly let it be said by the
writer, it was just as loyally and af-
fectionately reciprocated. In the clos-
ing hours of Ler illness she repeated one
of many much loved hymns "Testis
lover of my soul, let me to Thy bosom
y
lis." Her request was granted only
too speedily from the family viewpoint.
Funeral will take place Friday after-
noon at s 3o o'clock service being held
at the borne at 2 p. to, Interment will
be made in the family plot, Brussels
cemetery.
