He said, with respect 'to newspapers : " In all the towns where a newspaper is published every man should—advertise in one, if nothing more than a Icard stating the name and the business he he in. ,It does not only pay the advertiser, bet it lete people at a distafice know the toWn in which you reside is a pros - Pelves community of business men. The most costly circular a business man sends out dies m lese than a day ; but the enter- prising newspaper, containing the news as well as the business announcements of maim- ' faeturer and merchant, is a daily or weekly reminder that ought not to be neglected. ' And Peter_Cooper never put more truth in smaller space. DIED IN ST. PATTL.—The gentleman refer- red to in the following paragraph, which we take from the St. Paul Globe of May 23, was a younger son of the late Mr. Thomas Foster, formerly of this town, and he was a natihe of Seaforth. says : " The funeral of the late Thomas E. Foster took place yes- terday afternoon from the family residence, 605 Dayton avenue. The dead man had a very large circle of friends in St. Paul as well as in other cities in the country, and the obsequies were largely attended. The funeral cortege was remarked as being the most impressive that hes woand its way in- to Oakland cemeteri recently. Friends of the dead mai:Land his family in many parts of the country sent floral tributes, and the displaY of fldwers at the grave was ,very beautiful." • TRAVELLERS. — The followine persons were ticketed to their -respective astinations by Mr. W. Somerville, G. T. R. uptown agent : James and William Aitcheson, of McKillop, to Indianapolis, Indiana, where their brother, David, of Minnesota, has been confined to the hospital ; Mrs. Lightowler, Seaforth, to Ottawa, Illinois ; Thos.

T. ; Mrs. James Scott, sr., Roxboro, and Mrs. Com/they, Kincardine, to Griswold, Minitobaa to visit relatives. This latter party was accompanied as far as London by Mr. SO erville. • DEATH OF Hasne.,—Last week we mentioned the illness or Mr. James Heath), of MeKillop, bht we then had no idea that we should so soon be required to record his demise. But such are the un- certainties of life. Mr. Has* retied peacefully aveay about eight o'clonk day night. His death was very sudden and unexpected at the lase. He had been con- fined to bed for some dayabut no immediate danger was anticipated. He got out of bed, and before he could be got in again he died. A post-mortem examination revealed the cause of death to be an internal cancer, aggravated hy the fall which he rezeived some days previously. Mr. Hastie was a native of Falkirk, Scotland. He *came to Canada in 1851, and worked for a while at his trade as a cabinet maker in Hamilton and Streetsville. He was an expert work- man. He came to McKillop in 1852,haking up the farm on the 8th concession, on which he continued to reside until his death. He had reaohed the good age of 79 years- and two months, but he was a remarkably freah, young looking and well preserved man for his years. His wife died about fifteen years . ago. He leaves a family of three sons and one daughter, one son and the daughter being at home ; one son in British Columbia, and the third, Dr. Rutin, of Detroit. Mr. Hastierwas a msn of more than ordinsry of granolithic sidewalks for your town. As intelligenoe, gentlemanly in manner, and atianitary measure it woad certainly be of in every respect a good and worthy citizen. 1 great benefit to hive so much decaying tiimber removed. Then we would likely. have more comfortable crossings to drive over, u at present the town has -but one tolerably good affair of that kind.—We join with many other friends here of Mr. and Mrs. Wm: Modeland, of London, in extend- ing to them our sympathy in thie the hour of their sad bereavement, their eldest son, a bright lad of nine years,. having been drowned in that city on Friday last, by accidentally falling from a bridge over the race at Huntsville, while playing with two other bor.—The most magnificent hall Ornament we have seen for a long time is a pair of beautifully mounted Texas steer 'horns, owned by Mr. James Wright, of this village.

Porter, of Fargo, Dakota, to the responsible position of manager of the express business of that city. Mr. Porter Is a son of Mr. J. S.

In the light of past history, • Canadians are showing unmerited sympathy and tire carry- ing out the great law of love by returning good for evil. We cannot, however, bring ourselves to think that our American mus- ing are actuated by humane motives en- tirely in their cruse& against Spanish rule in Cuba. The Armenian atrocities scarcely , raised a protest from them, and when one -considers the pistol usages and lynch -law so prevalent among them, one is apt to say, "-physician heal thyself.1 • , Drisp Gunarre—The Guelph Advocate of MaY'23rd contains the folloving notice of the deatleof a daughter of Mr. William Moxley, fcrinerly of Seaforth and a sister of Mrs. Edward Hunt, of this town : "The sympathies Of the commuitity are extended in an especial manner this morning to Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Moxley, Charles street, in the death of their youngest daughter, Flor- ence Edith, aged 15 years and 11 months: She had not been in the best of health all winter, but she attended school and did her other duties until two weeks ago, when'she was taken seriously ill- wiilt brain trouble. For two weeks she suffer d intense agony, and death came Sunday evening at 6 30 es a sweet release. Edith was of a bright and sunny nature and at the Collegiate, which she attended, and at the Dublin Street church she made a host of warm friends and was a general favorate with all who knew her. She weir a member of the Dublin Street Church Epworth Lengue and death to her had no terrors. It was but.a peace- ful transition the land where there as no more rin and where all tears are wiped away. a_______ DROWNED IN LONDON. --We learn from the London Advertiser that Willie the nine year olkson of Mr. William T. lhodeland, engineerat Thompson's oatmeal mill, and lately of Seaforth, ras drowned. at Hunt's mill race, London, on Friday night laat. Willie, accompanied by two small compan- ions, Charlie and Siebert Weidman, was playing on the 'bridge which crosses the stream, when he suddenly missed his hold on the side railing and wan thrown inth the water, which ne several feet deep at this point. He did not rise again, and his two companions started for the store of Mr. A. Johnston, two Woks distant, to give the alarm, Instead of going to the mill, which is but a few feet away. Whim - Mr. Johnston arrived on the spot, the body had gone down for the last time, and thebody was nowhere to be seen. It was nearly ten minutes before the body was discovered, fifty feet west of the bridge. A doctor was immediately sum- moned end an effort was made to restore an- nimatidn, but it was futile, life being ex- tinct. The ambulance carried the little fel- low to his parent,s' residence on Bathurst street. Mee. Modeland, the lad's mother, has been sick for some tiine, and the ahock will be most severe to hdr. Mr. and Mrs. Modeland haVe many friends in Seaforth and vicinity who will deeply sympathise with them in this their sad bereavement. He never took any prominent part in publics affsira, although his natural ability ana strict integrity would have made him a use- ful mon in ptiblio life, while the esteem in which he was•held by his fellows, and the confidence they ha in him, would easily have secured him preferment in this way had he desired it. He apPeared, howeier, to prefer the qhiet and comforts of home life, being strongly attached to his family, and seeming to devote his first iaare to their comfort and. welfare. He was a consistent and active member of the Presbyterian church and an advanced Liberal in polities. The remains were interred in the Maitland - bank cemetery on Thursday. Screen doors and windows, gasoline and blue flame wicklees coal oil stoves, sent on trial. S.

CORNE'R STONE LAYING.—A large crowd gathered here on Monday afternoon, 23rd ult., to witness the laying of the corner stone of the new Methodist church. The preliminary exercises were conducted -b3 Messrs. Andrew*, Godwin, Clement and Bond, the latter making an address of some length. Mr. Andrews announced that the' amount of eubscriptions promised so far was $3,887.75, of which amount nearly $1,000 had been paid, which was regarded as a good showing when it was remembered that none of the subscriptions were expected to be paid before the 1st of November. He then asked for further subscriptions, an- nouncing at the same time that Mr. Neelands- who was to lay the stone had generoudy-given a cheque for $100 ; George Snell $100, and Mr. J. T. Garrow, M.P. P., West Huron, a donation of $25. Subscrip- tions and cash camedreely. Mr. John Neelande of Wingbam,Iras then called up- on, and being preeented with a beautiful silver trowel, laid the stone, ' declaring it well and truly laid, according to the form provided in the description of the Methedist church, andalso made a short address. The stone had engraved on its face, " Coiner Stone laid by John Neelands, &q., Wing- hamjlay 23rd, 1898." Inside the stone were the following articles : 'A bible, hymn Wok, copy of discipline, Christian Guardian, daily Globe, daily London Free Press, Clinton New Era, Wingham Times, the names of Toot Board, Quarterly Board, building committee, contractor, architect, name of pastor and family, names of schol- ars and officers, and names of members of the junior and senior Leagues, and quarterly tickets. The trowel had engraved upon it, " Presented to John - Neelands by the Methodists of Londeeboro, May 23rd, 1898." Seale & Hoover, of Clinton marble works, kindly presented the church with a suitable stone for the other corner of the church, though not engraved. The church promises to be a comfortable one when finished, suit- able for all present requirernents,e.nd should be dedicatecf free from debt. The tea - meeting in the evening was very largely at- tended, and excellent addresses were de- livered by Revd& Clement, Dever, Godwin, Edge and John Neelands. The chair was occupied by the pastor, and the choir ren- dered excellent service. The proceeds .of the Sunday and Monday services were $425, and the total amount of cash now on hand is $1,4.00. The people are to be congratu- lated on their auspicious opening and future prospects. , Leadbury.
