RETROSPECTION (Kindly sunscribed to the editor of this paper) When I was just a littie child, My mem'ry now does trace How, when I'd learned to dress myself And wash my hands and face; My mother'd always caution me, Lest I might miss one speck: "Now you wash well behind your ears, And wash the back your neck. If visitors or comp'ny'd come In spring or summer, faîl, Or winter, I was always sure To hear my mother cal: "Now you dress up, put on that suit, The new one, with the check, And wash well, too, behind your ears, And wash the back your neck. And when I'd go to play with our Nice neighbor's boy, near by, My mother'd say: "Now you dlean up And look real smart and spry; For Willie's ma's particular, Your cleanliness she'il check, Sa you wash well behind your ears, J.

On Saturday, February 24th, a well known and highly respected citizen of Oshawa and a native of Hampton, in the person of Alfred 3Guily, passed away suddenly at his residence, 112 Division Street, in his 84th year. He served his apprenticeship in carpentry with his father and when he was 21 he came to Bow- manville and joined wite a pro- minent contractor of those days, Richard Worth. Later he became identified in the building business iwith a partnership known as Gulîy and Humber. To this day many substantial buildings stand to the credit of the thorough iworkmanship of teese pioneer builders. About 1903, as Oshawa was be- ginning ta feel growing pains of expansion and prosperity, oppor- tunity presnted itseîf for greater activity in the field of construc - tion. He moved his family to Osh- awa after first building a homeJ for them. The first house he built wag located on Mary Street and was sold some years after to He builtev Terawoss nOh Bandmalsteralew. n sh awa but most of his active life in that city was spent in association with Thomas Gale who for many years owned and operated a plain- ing mill and- lumber yard on Athol Stret. For the past 10 years he has Iived retired. He had a reputation for taking great pride in his work, being thorough in everything he under- took. He regarded it to be a solemn duty to give full value in every undertaking and he expect- ed the same consideration from those with whom he did business. He believed that every man should strive to shoulder his own burden and pay his own way; and before failing ta carry out an ob- ligation or becommng dependent he should practise the strictest personal denials. The deceased e.xemplified this philosophy in his own life. In 1882 he married Emma Jane Cotton, eldest daughter of Ste- phen Cotton of Erpingham Farm ing School). Three children were born ta this union, Harold M. Gul- Iy, Vice President of Silverwood's Toronto Dairy, Limited, who sur- vives, and Olive and Russell, de- ceased. In 1915 he married Lovedy Caroline Hoskin, daughter of John and Johanna <Woodley) Hoskîn, who survives. The funeral took place from the family residence on Tuesday. Rev. J. V. McNeely, pastor of King Street United.Church, con- ducted the service, assisted by Eev. W. E. Hongy, an old friend of the deceased. The paîl bearers srerç nephews: Charles Johns, L~orenzo Trull, Harold Salter, Ce- fric Parsons, Leslie Hoskin and Hoaward Hoskin. Interment was in the family plot at Bawmanville Cemetery.
