During the trip of the Royal Cale- donia Curling Club through Canada from Halifax to Winnipeg, extending through the months of January and Fehtbary, sixteen cities were visited. The .return trip is being made through the United States and the Curlers will sail for home on Friday, Feb. 23rd, from New York. On their trip over the lines .of the Canadian National Railways, they were accom- panied from Halifax. to Quebec by Mr. A. ' H. Lindsay, Advertising Agent, Moncton, and from Quebec to Winnipeg by Mr. Neil McDougall, Sportsmen's Representative, Canad- ian National Railways, Port Arthur, On completion of the Canadian Tour at Winnipeg, in addition to giv- ing'hearty expression of appreciation of services rendered by the railway, they presented Mr. McDougall with a sterling silver cigarette case, with the . following inscription thereon: Presented to Neil McDougall with the thanks and best wishes' of the Scots Curlers in Canada, 1923." A similar presentation was made to Mr. Lindsay at Quebec. An 031 of Merit.—Dr. Thomas' Ec- lectric Oil is not a jumble of medicin- al substances thrown, together and pushed by advertising, but the result ,of 'We careful .investigation'' of the healing qualities of certain oils as ap- plied to the human body. It is a rare ombin ation and it won and kepi c public favor from the first. A trial of it will carry conviction to any who doubt its power .to repair and heal. IN MEMORIAM. The following verses were written in memory , of the late Frank E. Devereaux, who died on February' 20th, 1923. He wore "The white flower of a blameless life,"'. With each sincere and sweet humility, That those who met him mid the daily strife, Mused on the source of his tranquil- ity; He had respect unto God's law and word, And front„his lips no oath was ever heard: Sometimes we ask,. such questions are in vain, Why some are taken who seen need- ed most, The purest 'often suffer keenest pain, While other's pass along with. care- less boast, The good translated and the lives that inar God's purpose, left so long to blight and scar. We know not, but the One who fills • all space, ' And guides the planets on their won- drous way, Who leads His people upward by His grace, Walked in. His garden at the dawn that day, And following, where the light of heaven lies, Plucked the fair flower to bloom in Paradise, --H. Isabel Graham. MRS. GEORGE GRIGG.. It is with much sincere regret that the death of: Mrs. George' Grigg is announced. The deceased lady pass- ed away on Wednesday afternoon of last week after a short illness. She was., born in England in 1847 and in 1867 became: the bride of Mr. George Grigg, and ; in 1871 they came to Canada. They settled on a farm near Stoffa , remaining there for eight years. They then bought a farm in IvfcKillop, where they lived until eight years ago, when they moved to town. kr. Grigg died in March, 1919. Of a family of twelve children, e1e- i•en survive, six sons who all live in the vicinity of Moosejaw, Sask., and five daughters. Of the daughters, Mrs. John Dennison lives in Seaforth, the rest being in the West. Deceased was above all things a lover of her home. anti her family was her first care. She was also a consist- ollt`tpenther of, the Methodist church. The funeral took place on Friday from her home on James street, inter- ment being made in Brussels ceme- tery. VINCENT PATTERSON. It cause as a shock to his young friends on Saturday morning last to learn that Vincent Patterson had passed away during the previous night aged sixteen years. He had onlybeen i11 a few days from.pneu- monia. He was the youngest son of Mrs. Jennie ,Patterson, North Main street, and last summer entered as junior in the Goderich branch of the the Bank of Commerce, later joining the branch here. Two brothers in the west survive and two sisters, Pearl and Irene, live here with their -moth- er. The funeral was held from the Presbyterian church on Monday af- ternoon to Maitlandbank cemetery. NOTED MISSION' LEADER DIES The following clipping from the Milwaukee Journal of Feb. 16th, 1923, will be read with much interest by Seaforth people. - "Nine years of devoted service in which, a lonely priest tr.etled over wind-swept frozen roads, almost un - passable with snow,visiting isolated places and pleading for assistance for his beloved mission, St. Benedict the Moor, 305 Ninth street, ended Thurs- day night with the death of the Rev. Stephen. Fekart. aged 54, at St. Joseph's Eospital. Since taking charge of this mission' for the negroes of Milwaukee nine years ago, Father Eckart has worked with determination to replace' inade- quate buildin•s and” grounds with proper stru:ture tocare for the members and by has travelled through nearly every country district of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Upper Mi- chigan and Iowa,' giving missions and retreats at country parishes to raise the funds. Three weeks ago on such a trip to Britt, Iowa, he contracted a cold which developed into pneumonia and caused his death. Father Eckart came from Canada to take charge of the mission when it was turned over to the Capuchin Fa- thers by the Rev. Nicholas Becker, late pastor of St. Mary's 'Catholic church, its founder,. A coincidence is that Father Eckartdied in the sante room at the hospital in which Father Becker died a week ago. and died on the day that Father Becker, his pre- decessor at the mission ion. was buried. Surviving Father Eckart are four brothers and three sisters. Funeral services will be held at St. Francis Cliiirch, Fourth and Harmon streets., at. 10 a.m.. Tuesday. The Rev. Tosenh Eckart. Hawthorne, N.Y.. a brother. of. Father Stephen, will offic- iate. fficeiate. Burial „will be in Calvary cemetery under the direction of the Capuchin Fathers.

The people turned out well through the cold and storm on Saturday and made Mr. Ross McLean's sale a suc- cess. There have been some heavy loads on^ the roads since the thaw; which has made the roads• alinost impass- able. Where is our council? - Why put so much money on summer roads and neglect winter roads?

The attendance at Roxboro school has been rather small the past week or so owing to a number of pupils be- ing sick with the flu. Quite a number who have had the grippe or; flu are improving and soine are able to be about, but look as though it was not a very desirable disease. The township snow plow is kept busy the past couple of weeks keep- ing down the roads and no doubt it is the right thing in the right place, as Messrs. Grieve and Habkirk under- stand their job. Many mothers can testify to the virtue of Mother Graves' Worm Exterminator, because they know from experience how useful it is. HURON NEWS. Two aeroplanes passed over Exeter one morning last week heading north. Judging by the cold and stormy na- ture of the weather, one would have thought they would have been headed the other way. They were probably a couple of aeroplanes from across the line that had got lost. The family of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Sanders, of Exeter, narrowly missed asphyxiation 1night by cos gas one last week, when Mr. Sanders was awakened by the strong smell of the gas, and woke the rest of the family.' They were found to be deathly sick and medical aid was required. It was 4 a close call. The severe weathet of the past couple of weeks has resulted in da- mage to many windmills throughout the county. Farmers who depend on wind -power for their water supply, pp Y, are seriously handicapped as it is very difficult to make repairs during the , stormy weather, After being in the employ of+ the town of over thirty-six years, Night Watchman Welsh, of the Clinton po- lice force, has resigned, and will take life easy. He has held a number of ' positions with that town. The Dominion government has leased the Merner flax mill at Clinton, and will use it for an experimental station. They are advertising for land on which to grow flax during the coming summer. A Clinton firm has. placed a score board in the rink at .Clinton so that hockey fans can tell the score as the game progresses. Repair work on the town hall, Clin- ton, ed fire and hfch was d by ton, which g water so`,'e weeks ago, is nearing completion, and in a short time a fine hall will be ready for public use. Clinton Collegiate . hockey team won their group. They ought to go a long way in the finals as, with two exceptions, they are exactly the same team which did so well in the O.H.A. junior series until they were put out by Kitchener juniors. Exeter is advertising for a bell- ( ringer for the town bell as the poli- t1nil bas been vacant for some weeks: Prnnle m.ss' the bell to tell then when to stop work at noon and. 6 p.m, but it isn't ,missed gulch these cold and frosty mornings around seven a.m, Subscribers on the Kirkton, Grant- on & Medina telephone lines are pro- testing against an increase in rates re- cently granted by the Railway Board, Man have 1 Many pledged themselves to have their phones taken out if the higher rates are enforced. - Mr. Thomas Legg, Goderich, who has been in the butcher business there. for some time, has sold out. to Messrs. Allison and sons of Becton. A number of men and teams, are employed..in Goderich harbor cutting and removing ice around some of the steamers so that they cap be moved up to the wharf and unloaded. Many of the steamers are undergoing re- pairs in order to be ready for spring. The Brussels, Grey and Morris Telephone Company meets next week. It expected that the state- ment will show' heavy' losses through damaged lines, Most phone com- panies have had a,hard year in 192::. The annual report of the surrogarc court, Goderich, shows the value of personal property in wills filed for probate in Huron county dining 1922 was $1,245,667, while the real property was worth less than half that amount. A case of mach interestto farmers and seed merchants was settled at Goderich last week. In 1921. J. M. Knight & Sons, Cranbrook, purchas- ed a quantity of clover seed from a merchant in Fort William, one Emil. Anderson, who advertised the seed to be "highest government- grade." It proved to be badly polluted with wild tnustard. An action for damages en- sued with the result that the judge awarded $300 damages, and costs against the defendant. At the annual meeting of Silver Corners Cheese factory, the report showed that over 200,000 pounds of cheese had been sold at an average price of 16% cents a pound. Over twd and a half million pounds of milk was taken in at the factory, with an average butter fat test of 3.5. The Goderich Lions Club is back- ing a movement to provide public playgrounds for the children of that town, evidently thinking there were, not enough vacant lots for that pur- pose. Mr. W. M. Knight was elected reeve of Goderich last week at by- election. Some of the electors were steep a price to pay for any benefit ' feeling funny over the result and that might be derived from an audit. were heard to remark: "The electors Goderich Collegiate Board has ask - preferred Knight to -days" ed the town council for the generous Goderich town council has turned sum of $12,000 to supplement the oth- down a motion to bring in an outside er grants it receives.
