Oh! The hope, the hope is sweet,
That we soon in Heaven may meet ;
There we all shall happy be,
Rest from pain and sorrow free.
There was an Angel band in Heaven,
That was not quite complete,
So God took our darling, John,
To fill that vacant seat.

Darling John, he has left us,
Left us, yes, forever more ;
But we hope to meet our loved one,
On that bright and happy shore.
This lovely bud, so young, so fair,
Called hence to early doom ;
Just came to shbw how sweet a flower
In Paradise would bloom.
'Em sin could harm or sorrow fade,
Death came with friendly care ;
The opening bud to Heaven conveyed,
And bade it blossom there.
He is gone, but not forgotten,
Never shall their memory fade ;
Sweetest thought shall ever linger,
Round the grave where he is laid.

tor of the Gorrie and Orange Hill

Toronto. Ile came to the London
Conference about nine years ago and
"
has been stationed in the towns of
Blenheim, Dresden and Glencoe, and
at Warwick (four years) and the last
t o
at Granton. It

cessful. Ile preached his opening ser-
mone here on Sunday and made a

call yet.
Geo. Orville Durnin, son of William

recent Peedagogy examination at

offer of $600 to take charge of a school
in Saskatchewan.
As per arrangement, the Councils
of Ashfield and West Wawanosh met
the promoters of the road here in
Dungannon on Thursday evening, and
jointly considered the proposed by-
law. There seems to have been too
much haste ;in preparing the by-law
for the Goderich guarantee of the
Power Co.'s bonds, and it has had to
be amended and readvertised, so that
the vote cannot be taken on the God-
erich by-law until about the 9th of
August, and as there are grave doubts
whether that by-law will carry, it
seems rather unfair to put the Councils
of Ashfield and Wawanosh to trouble
and expense until it is known whether
there is really to be any power to run
the road. We think there is no doubt
that when it is definitely sure that the
Power Co. will develoy the necessary
power at Goderich, and that the Rail-
way Company are prepared to go
ahead at once and build a paying
road, the people will be almyst unani-
mous in aiding it with all reasonable
backing.
Invitations received by friends, an-
nounce the approaching marriage of
mg. Lawson Graham to Miss Minnie
Rose, daughter of Mr. Geo. Kelly, of

Thos. J. Kelly, at Cypress River, Ilia"n.

past 9 months from a kidney ailment.

Wednesday of last week, passing
away at his home in Seaforth, where
he has resided for the past 3 years,
going there when he sold his farm to
his son J. W. Mr. Shortreed was 66
years, 4 months and 9 days old. He
was born in the township of Esques-
ing, Halton Co., and came to Morris
30 years ago when he bought a fine 100
acre farm, Si lot 16, con. 9, owned by
the late Jno. Henderson. Mrs. Short -
reed's maiden name was Miss Caroline
Brodie, of Morris, she and the son
mentioned above and an adopted
daughter survive. The subject of this
notice was a man of industry, sobriety
and integrity, esteemed by all who
knew him. He was a Presbyterian in
religion and a Liberal in politics.
r
Bluevale.
Miss Gardiner of Woodstock is a
guest at the parsonage.
The next meeting of Turnberry
Council will be held here on August
10th.
Haying is not a heavy task this
year, as the crop is light. The same
may be said of oats ; they are short
and heading out with very little
straw. Farmers will need to econo-
mize in feeding this year.
The garden party under the auspices
of the Methodist Church, on the lawn
of Mr. T. Stewart, on Tuesday even-
ing, was a success. The ladies made
bountiful preparation, and the even-
ing was pleasantly spent. The Salva-
tion Army Band furnished music and
gave good value for the money. They
certainly play well, and intersperse
the Band music with singing.

A Mistake.
It is a mistake for the owner of
property to think he can sell it as
well as an agent can. The agent
is in touch with all the prospective
buyers in the vicinity, and had an
experience in closing sales that is
worth to the seller far more than
the amount of the commission.
Another Mistake.
It is, if anything, a greater mistake
for a buyer not to come to the Agent,
as no agent will list a property if ho
thinks the owner is asking too much
for it; he Cannot afford to waste his
time trying to get fancy prices. A
fair deal to both parties is his motto.
He can give the selling prices of
all properties that have changed hands
for years; ho can see that Insurance
policies are properly' transferred, and
he can give the buyer the choice of
practically every property for sale in
the vicinity.
