The program was pot on under the direction of Mr. A. W. Anderton, musical instructor, who was aided by the members of the Homo anti Sehool Club, who assisted by making costumes, etc. The opening number was a doll show, the pupils from the primary department taking part. These were in charge of a dainty fairy, Maxine Mailer, who by her pretty dancing and the tough of her wand inspired the dolts with life and they, too, danced and sang and recited, just like real people. A11 were daintily arrayed and this was a very pretty little number, ' .' This' was *limed by a cantata, "In A Flower Garden," put on by the girls of the school and a minstrel show by the boys. The cantata re- presented a day in a garden, from early morning, when the birds are just awakening, through the long, sunny day, and into night again. The- girls were very prettily dres- sed to represent the different flow- ers, to represent the, wind and the rain,"the rainbow, the butterflies and the spiders. Little girls in yellow represented the sunrise, Miss Pentland represented noon, dressed in white and singing a pretty song, Miss Fraser, in bright, sunset shades represeuted the 'evening, with dance and song, and 1Veiss Pepper, all in- black with diamonds in her hair, represented night, leading' .a pretty dance with the stars, girls with little. flashlights. The costumes of the girls :were very pretty, made of bright cease paper, and the scene was very charming as they danced about to the music of their own fresh young voices' led by Me, Anderton at the piano. • Before it was over each set of flowers carne forward to the front of the platform and made their curtsy to the audience. s. The minstrel show was well put on, too, One thing that; surprised the audience' was the way the boys could sing'. It may have been the fact that they Were somewhat dis- guised and forgot to be self -con serous itut the boys certainly sang well. Kenneth Dougan- took the part of the interlocutor and Benson Sutter and Frank Rleard that of, end. Men. Amos and Andy were , repro- sented by Jack Perdue and George Elliott; who gave a little rnouthor gen trio, assisted by the 'interlocu- tor. The boys did well and later gavo some comic stunts: The whole progarn was very well exeenited, .showing a lot of training en the part of the musical' instruc- tor and teachers, and the work of the ee t costuune committee, ommit of Whom Mrs ! Jenkins was convener, s•be- r e , w a yard praise. Both :the Flower Gar- den and the doll sliow were, eharuu ingly pretty. It was a fine enter- tainment taken altogether.

' It was with deepest regret; that it was learned nn April the twelfth' that death had called one of the best known and highly respected' citizens in the person of James Foivlie. Although the late Mr: Fowlio had been in poor health for• some time it is thought that his life was shortened by the shock of his. wife's death who predeceased him ow• )arch -'14. The deceased was born hi the Township of Tuckersmith in August- 1859 and came to Bayfield' with his parents when he was n: child. In early Youth he learned the• trade of blacksmithing with the late George Erwin and from that time until- some eight or nine years ago,. when he retired, • he carried on a' successful business. He else :carried' on a successful grocery business of which his daughters took charge. Of' a quiet disposition, a home -loving man and fine upright character, he' will be greatly missed by his family: and many friends. Besides his sol - rowing children, Lawrence and Fred of London, Mrs. Jack Worsen, Haz- let, Sask., Mrs. G. Koehler, Zurich , and Frances and Ethel at home, he ie survived by two brothers, Andrew of Goderich and Herbert of Galt, one sister, Janey, {Mrs. S.
