GORDON MCADAM.-Mr. i Gordon Mc Adam, of the Mill Road, Tucker - smith, pass d peacefully away on Saturday last, after; a lingering illness of several months, which was borne most patiently. Mr. MeAd in has been a resident of Sea - forth and uckersmith for over forty years. He was a I, cotehman by birch, but at an early age h embarked as a sailor on a sail- ing vessel, and followed that vocation for ,six years. 1During that time he saiv much of the word - and visited many eteintries, among otters South America, Australia and New Zealand, and his experiences would hav made ise interesting arid excit- ing volume For several years after coining to Seaforth, he was engaged in businesse and was a salesinan in the grocery store ofeMr. F. Veal. About twenty years ago he re- tired to hil farm on the Mill -Road, Tucker - smith., whe e he continued to reside ' until his- death. He was a genie, , kind hearted, $ companion e man ; a w rthy citizen, an ohliging n ighbor, and o e who tried in every way o do his duty tg his fellow men. Far many ars he was secretard and treas- urer of th Tuckeremith Branch Agricul- tural Socie , and proved himself a careful and coulee at official. He had reached the e pod age of 70 years, and ileaves a widow and one so and one daughter to cherish "b- the memory of a faithful husband and kind pareet. Ti o remains were, interred in the Egniondvilt cemetery on Tuesday: • I . WHAT A DwELLER IN THE CITY SAYS ABOUT LT. DEAR EX POsITC R, -The custom of shoppin at the big depertmental stores in the eity becoming alarmingly fashion- able among ' the residents o many towns in the !nevi= . Ladies give orders by mail, get their e ty friends to shop for them or take advantiage of visits t the city to lay - in a stock of bargains. This last means evas greatly, facilita.ted by the ilt rates of the last aix mouths. The reasdn for this shop- ping at the big stokes are these : The -belief that cheaper goods can be obtained at 'the city departmental stores ellen at the. local atore ; the plea that the locahmerchant does tot keep a select stock, does not keep just the kind of article that the fastidious shop- per wants ; but perhaps the strongest rea- son of all is the unalterable' and unconquer- able belief in the greenness' of far away hills. I fear that in the economic plea the 'shopper does not take account of the post- age, express charges or exp nse of rerni ting ti money when making comp risons; but ad- mitting for sake of argu eiat that goods can be bought cheaper at he departmental stores than at the local a ores, would not the direct loss incurred by buying at home be trifling compared with the indirect loss in depreciation of propert caused by de- priving the town of thig po tion of its trade. I know several Seaforth la les who freqeent- ly shop at Simpson's or Eaton's. Every one of these ladies has a brother or father or dhusbalad in business in Seaforth, and al- -though they do not send awey for the articles .1301d Or mmuufacbured in their own family, -yet one often buys in Toronto iwh t the other's family has for sale in Seer rth. Every lady excuses herself by saying that her purchisee is very small. However, the sum total'of all similar urohasei mad by the ladies of the town n a year is a very tangible amount. Eve person who Owns property in Seaforth or as money invested there or who is a wage arner in the town should make alt his pur hues in town if it is reasonably possible Every dollar of trade brought to the win is an indirect gain to. the wage earner or property oWner. There are two teachers less on the staff a the public school than t ere were three years ago. The 'school popul tion has certainly deereased and I think I may safely say that the total 'population all also decrees,. What was the cause ? ill chasing the allur- ing bargain day offers f the Toronto 'de- partmental stores stim late the trade a Seeforth or prevent fa Wale from mowing away ? I evould advise ny one who thinks it pays to buy at the de artrnental stores to read the series of ar icles. published by Toronto Saturday Nig t on the subject a short time ago. Phys oians' instruments, electrical apparatus or p otographio suppliee cannot be profitably bought in Seaforth, but the necessaries of life and the neoessary uries are for sale in plenty in several placea along Main street. The stock to select from is not quite as large as vehat is found in the departmental store but nevertheless it is a tolerably large stock and of tolerably good' quality. If every reisident of Seaforth would buy all his req irements it home, and with cash,as he mum buy at the depart- mental stores, he woul get as good bar- gains ; he . would a bit the trade o the town ; increase the value of th property ; in short, ma e times better an indirectly, assist himsel even if he be not id business.-ROCHEDALS. • FeriatoNevreez Norris. - Last Sabbath being "Children's Day" in the various Pres- byterian Sabbath school in Canada,the Rev.
