There passed away at her home in
St. Augustine on the evening of Aug.
25th, one of the early pioneers of tris
township in the person of Ann Starkey,
relict of the late Charles Robinson, in
her 82nd year. The deceased lady was
born in Lincolnshire, England, and
came to Canada in 1850 and settled in
West Wawanosh. Mr. Robinson died
37 years and 5 months ago and the de-
ceased had resided in her home alone
since that time;. She preferred living
alone and appeared to be happy and
contented and many times refused to
leave the old home to reside with rela-
tives. She had lived in the one house
for upwards of fifty years. She was a
Methodist in religion and had always
taken a deep interest in the work of
the church. The funeral took place to
the Donnybrook cemetery on Sunday
morning, August 27th, and was largely
attended by sorrowing friends and rela-
tives. The pallbearers were Patrick
O'Connor, John Leddy, Patrick Kear-
ney, Wm. Campbell, Albert Johnston
and John Craig.

ASHFIEI.D FARMER'S OPINION.,
Mr, James Culbert, of Crewe, a Con-
servative, and one of the best-known
farmers of Ashfield, when interviewed
on the question of reciprocity, said:
"There is a great deal of discussion
over the question of reciprocity. I
see the Toronto News is almost crazy
over it. We farmers, though, believe
the agreement .ought to have a fair
chance.
"I am a Conservative and never
voted for the Liberal party in my life,
but I know that Sir John Macdonald
wanted reciprocity with the States and
couldn'tget it, and when Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, after all these years, is able
to obtain so favorable an agreement --
just such an agreement. as Sir, . John
wanted—I think it would be very foolish
not to accept it.
"There were Conservatives and Lib-
erals both in the deputation that wait-
ed on the Government at Ottawa last
December," continued Mr. Culbert,
"and when the Government does what
the farmers request it to do, I think
the farmers should support it.
"I am going to vote for reciprocity
when I geta chance to do so, and I
know other Conservative farmers who
intend to do the same."
BLYTH.
Go and hear Hon. G. P. Graham in
Wingham Town Hall on.Monday after-
noon, Sept. llth.
It becofhes our thity this week to re-
cord the death of another well-known
citizen of Blyth, in the person of Rich-
ard Sellars, who departed this life on
Sunday, Aug. 27th, very unexpectedly
although he had been ailing for some
time, but was•able to be about and at-
tend to his duties up until the"Saturday
previous to his death. The late Mr.
Sellars was a man that - will be much
missed especially from his wide ac-
quaintance with the travelling public,
he having been connected with the G.
T, R. ever since the line was laid
through Blyth and also with the Cana-
dian Express Co. in transferring ex-
press to and from the station to the
town office. The deceased was born in
County York, Eng. on May 17th, 1855.
and came to America with his parents
who died from fever six weeks after
their arrival on this side the Atlantic,
leaving him then a boy of 4 or 5 years
of age an orphan. He was taken care
of by an uncle then residing at Cedar
Rapids, Pa. On the day that Abraham
Lincoln was elected to the Presidency
of the States the late Mr. Sellars in
companywith his uncle, crossed over
from Detroit, Mich. to Exeter where
the deceased remained until coming to
Blyth many years ago. The late Rich-
ard Sellars was married on May 4th,
1876, to Miss Coulter, the result of
this union five sons were born.

NOT A NEW POLICY.
The Winnipeg Free Press is doing
good service in behalfof reciprocity.
In a recent issue it gave an interesting
description of the agreement which is
now being submitted to the Canadian
electors. In part the Free Press said:
"The reciprocity agreement with the
United States, so far from being the
introduction of a new policy which is
inimical to British interests, can be
shown to be:
"1. The fulfillment of the tradition-
al policy, of both Canadian political
parties.
"2 Almost identical with the reci-
procity offer made to the United States
by Sir John A. Macdonald in 1879, and
kept standing on the statute books of
Premier.

Canada during his term as
"3 Substantially the same bargain
which the Government of Sir John
Macdonald tried to make with the
United States Government in 1891, and
for which he secured the approval of
the people of Canada at the general
elections in March of that year.
"4 In sympathy with the British fiscal
policy which has been steadily support-
ed by the electors of Great Britain
whenever challenged.
"5 An arrangement which has met
with the warmest commendation of the
leading and dominant statesmen of
Great Britain at the present time.
"That Canadians of all political par-
ties once ardently desired reciprocity
with the United States is no longer
denied. As the London Spectator, a.
Unionist paper,sas: "The truth is
that for more han half a century the
