S. 11, VANDELEUR One of the most popular young men of this community was lost to Flesherton and district on Thursday last, in the passing away of Mr. Ed- win Best. The late Mr. Best, who died at his home here, has been in failing health for the past four years, having been an invalid for two years, but death came very suddenly and unexpectedly at the last. The funeral took place from his late residence on Saturday afternoon at 1.30 p.ra. to St. Johns' United Church where the pastor. Rev. Mr. Harrower, preached an impressive and comfort- ing sermon to the bereaved family and friends. During the service the choir rendered a beautiful anthem, the solo part being taken by Dr. Mur- ray. Interment took place in Flesh- erton cemetery, when a large con- course of friends followed the remains to their last resting place to pay their respects to one who was loved by all with whom he had come in contact. The service at the grave was conducted by Flesherton. L.O.L. of which deceased was a member. Mr. Best was bom on the old home- stead on the Toronto Line south, on March 21st, 1878, and was in his 50th year. He was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Best of the To- ronto Line south. Ed. lived on the Toronto Line south until 1919. when he moved to Flesherton, taking up residence in the house where he died. He was a member of Flesherton vill- age Council in 1924-25, until forced to retire owing to ill health. Besides being prominent in municipal matters. he was a lover of sports and in years gone by was a familiar figure on the football fields, where he was known as a true sport and gentleman. In religion he was a Methodist until the advent of church union, when he be- came affiliated with St. Johns' United Church. In politics he was a Conser- vative. In 1809 he married Miss Catharine LeGard. daughter of Mr. and the late Mrs. H. C. LeGard, who, with one son, Harold, are left to mourn a loving and kind husbaad and father and who tendered all the love and kindness possible to him in his terr- ible affliction of creeping paralysis, and who have the sympathy of the entire community in their sore be- reavement.

WHAT IT COSTS THE EDITOR. The Editor, as a rule, is mighty generous in giving space in his pa- per to the things that mean prosper- ity for his community, and too often the fact is lost sight of that the space the editor so willingly gives to aid his community and his people is his bread and butter. It is what he has to sell, and when he ogives it away it is just the same as if the grocer dished out gratis his coffee and sugar â€" yet no one thinks of asking his gro- cer to give him free coffee or sugar.
