It was with keen regret that the Presbytery felt the duty of releasing Dr. Larkin, who so long and ably filled a great place i i tr it t mns `t and whoseY within i , Sea - forth has been one of fine scholarly traditions, brotherly love, warm'sym- pathies, and abounding to the fervor and spirit of the trite minister.

He expressed praise of Brucefieid •.congregation, which, though the smallest, and with- out property, attained almost to its portion in the Budget, and also Cavell Church, Exeter, which exceeded its allocation by $277.00. Carmel, Hen - sail, and Clinton congregations had done nobly in meeting •large expendi- tures for renovation and equipment, which was a happy augur of resource when released unto a greater share in Budget support.

Whites arid blacks attend the same schools, Sugar cane is the main product of the low lying land of. Guiana. Sugar, molasses and rum are obtained from the. cane and are shipped in large. quantities to all parts of the world. Molasses., comes to distilleries in the coastal cities of the. United' .,States where industrial alcohol is made. Rum sells in Guiana at 95c to $1.25 a quart, and boat loads valued at $50,000 con- tinually sail from Georgetown. Much of this no doubt finds its way to "rum row" off New York. Sugar cane is grown in large fields containing 500 to 1000 acres, and a canal is dug around each field. A plantation usually has 100 such fields, also a sugar yniill and perhaps a dis- tillery:, and -'1,500- to' 2,000 native work- men and their families, Each native is supplied with a hut and a couple of acres of land to grow rice for himself, and also pasturage for one or two. cows. 'A man earns 6 to 7 shillings a' day (about $1.60). season a "large number of .extra men are employed. When the cane has been cut,it is loaded on fiat -bottomed boats in the canal and drawn by mules to the cane mill where it is crushed by three sets of heavy rollers to ex- tract the juice. These plantations are as big as a township' in Ontarku and are largely owned' by English Com- panies. Each plantation° is in charge of a manager, usually of English or Scotch nationality. Cattle -ranching is •carried on .ex- tensively in the sections where the, land is suitable. In '1926 a had drought killed thousands Of cattle, but such a calamity is uncommon.

Mr. King was in' town as a repre- sentative of a line of real silk hosiery. The services at 1Bridgeburg were conducted from her late home by Rev.

Dr. Larkin, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, The services by the pastor and the music, were most comforting and a source of much encouragement to those passing through these sad af- flictions. The pallbearers were cousins of the deceased, Messrs. William, Russell, Ross and 'Jake (Sproat and Messrs. William and 'Harry Charters. The floral tributes were very profuse and beautiful.
