A number of the friends of 1Vrr. and
Mrs. B. R. Higgins gathered at their
home on Thursday evening last to
spend a few hours in friendly inter-
doursc with them .prior to their
departure from the . neighborhood.
During the evening Mr. Hliggins, who
has been superintendent of the Sun-
day- school of the Presbyterian chur-
ch for some time, was presented
with. an address' of appreciation and
a club bag by the school and Mts.
1Iiggins Was similarly honoured by
the members of the W.M.S. and pre-
sented with a bible. Mr. and Mrs.
Higgins were completely taken by
suxprise, those having the natter in
hand taking care to keep it callat.
They heartily thanked their friends
for their kindness, however, and a'
very h'appp evening was spent, The
ladies served refreshments, before the
company broke up. The impending
departure of Mr. and, Mks. Higgins
from the neighborhood is matter for
keen regret. .Following are the. ad-
dresses :

as a slight remembrance of your so-
lourn in this vicinity and as 'i tok-
en of our respect for your 'person
and appreciation of your work. Your
departure, a loss to us, will, we
hope, be a gain to others and that

Jos, Rye, Vancouver, and Mrs. Don-

predeceased him, Rev. John, a Meth-

on the homestead.
Mr, Lawrence was a Mason, being
a member of Clinton Lodge No. 84,
a Chosen Primal, an Orangeman, a
Methodist and a Conservative. Ile
was pleased not only to vote himself
at' the last election for the 1Jnion
Government, but he took with him

cast their first votes at this elec-

Mr. Lawrence's life work was

which lie was eminently fitted, of his

also belonged such men as 141x. Baird
of whom mention was made in these

class of whom it can be truly said

portion of his, life was spout.
A short notice of leis' death was
given fn an earlier issue and a fuller
account of his, life will doubtless be
appreciated by iris large 1 list- of
friends and acquailItanoos, most of
whom have known liim for Feats',
The writer of 'this 80801.1128 is
one of these friends and takes this
opPoettmity to express leis amerc:la-
Boit of a Ariondship extending over
thirty years„ first • as teacher and
pupil, afterwards as, friend and
neighbor,
About thirty-four years 'ago, when
Mr, Lawrence came - to teach at
Holmosville, •I was one of his schol-
arsand during all the years that
have passed since T h ve I
earned to
respect him more and more and have
always been able to. learn something
More from my old teacher. Thous-
ands of pupils can testify to his in-
fluence as a teacher, and of his real
worth and integrity many business
associates in eastern Ontario and
Quebec eau vouch. The fifteen years
spent in Ottawa in conducting an
extensive' cleft)", supply business
brought Mx. Lawrence into touch
with many persons 'who learned to
have unusual confidence in and re-
spect tor a man *hose word, was all
that was necessary. I have heard men
who did theasands o9 dollars worth
of business wltlh 111r, Lawrence each
year say that they would take his
word for anything, that if N,I.r. Law-
rence said goods would go by a cer-
tain date they. would go. Nothing
was allowed to cause him to break
faith with his given word. Tho es-
teem ie. which 110 was held was ev-
idenced by the number of prominent
men who attended the funeral, many
coming from various pointe in. East-
ern Ontario„including Kingston and
Brockville. His host of friends in
the east will miss. him • .and. their
deepest sympathies go out to Mrs,
Lawrence and the Urea. daughters in
Ottawa and Ray who at Present is
overseas.
Mr. Lawrence was born on a farm
sit NIclCillop township sixty-five years
ago. I -Ie spent his early years at
home and school ; while still a boy
he started to teach school and be-
1ore going to High school spent sev-
eral years teaching hi Morris town-
ship. He took:, his High school
course at Goderich. After leaving
the high school he taught for two
and 'a half years in Tuckersmith in
the s011001 known as the West End
No. 4 (Turner's). It was when he
was leaving this school that he mar-
ried Miss Elmira Whitley, his most
esteemable 18115, who has been such
1111 inspiration to her husband and
'every other person with whom she
comes in contact and; who now sur-
vives him: After his marriage Mr,
Lawrence taught one pear at Kippers,
