For some time Mr. Bothwell has been in failing health, and since his re- tirement from his Barnie store he has `been under the doctor s care for most of the time. ` -I-\ 1 Annual earance Sale .Lu1.

He was for over forty years in busi- ness as a grocer, grain and seed merchant in the same stand (where Reeve s Jewelry Store now is) re- tiring from that business in May, 1911. He built this ne block in - 1888. Some years ago Mr. _Both- well also built the Botlrwell Block in Allandale, and` the grocery busi- ness has -been carried on there un- der his supervision for many years, and later by his sons. Mr. Both- well. was a Pl'ogressive, ])u!l)li('- spirited citizen, and has served his town well in years gone -by. He represented Ward 3 in the Town Council for several years, was `Reeve in 1892, 1893 and 1894, and in 1895 and 1896 was Mayor. Dur- ing his tenure of pu-blic oicc many of the public improvements that the town made were projected` `by Mr. Botlrwell `and success`tu.lly car- ried through. Some of these were the laying of the permanent road- bed 011 Dunlop the cxteiisioxi of the -cement sidewalks, and the improventfent of the parks. '1 A -lover of oriculture, he always took an active interest in the Bar- rie Horticultural Society, and was also active in the Barrie Agricul- -tural Society and the West Riding S`imcoei Joint Stock Co. Hevwas, also, a staunch worker for the pu-b- lic library -and served for many years on that board. Some years ago he took an active interest in. sports of various kinds, and was President of the Barrie Hockey team for several years and a patron of the lacrosse team for some years.
