Al> ut July I the de- ceased went out West lu visit his son and • daughter, near W'eyburn. Sask., and ^ while there contracted typhoid fever. Returning home about the 20th October, he placed himself under the treatment of Dr. Ryckmao of MaxwelL Everything ' po«sible was done, bu:, being a man of > advanced years, the dread disease, fol- lowed by pneumonia, terminated faUlly, as above stated. The deceased was ootn in the County of Tyrone, Ireland, in 1844, and was a Hon ofjthe late Robert Haye.s, of Holland township, who emigrated to Canada m 'â-  1846, with hia wife and two children. After coming to Canada they resided for about twelve years in Albion township, near Bolton, afterw=»rds moviog »o Hcl. land township, near A'ahers falls. In 1868 the subject of our sketch was mai- ' ried to Mrs. Jamei. Young of Uol- ' land, who predeceased him eighteen years • ago. In 1878 he moved to Osprey town- ship, where, by honest industry, he made a comfortable home, where he has con- tinued to reside until his dentise. Hia family consisted of two sons and two daughtersâ€" Elizabeth (Mrs. Archibald Campoeil) ; Etnestof Maxwell. Margaret (Mrs. John Norman), and WillUm of Weyburn, iiask.

Patton of Rocklyn, and two brothersâ€" John of Ogema, S*.sk., and Robert of Camenc, U.S.A. In re- ligion Mr. Hayes was an unpretentious man, but had for many years been an ad- herent of the Presbyterian church. In political matters he was a stiunch sup- jjorter of Conservative principles. On Saturday last his reniiiius were followed to their last resting place in the Presby- terian cemetery, . Maxwell, by a very large concourse of sympathising friends and neighbors. The funeral service was conducted under the auspices of the Loy- • al 'Jraiige Asaociation. Kev. Mr. Mills, pastor of the Presbyterian church, Mas- ' Well, was the officiating clergyman. The last sad rites were performed by the L. ' U.A., of which society deceased was a member for tifty years, having been made a member at 17 years of age, at the lime of his death beinu in connection with " Maxwell L.O.L. The brethren of Max- . well and local lodges turned out in large Dumbei-s to pay the last tribute of re- ^ spect to a departed bi other, and the mag- nihcent wreath placed on the casket by them was a fitting tribute of respect to a brother whom they loved. Ossie, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. . John Norman, Weyburn, succumbed to typhoid. Recent news from there states » that Wm. Hayes, jr., and two children, and Mr. and Mrs. Norman and daugh- ter, who were also afflicted, are now out of danger. Kimberley Budget Beautiful winter weather. Plowing was general last week. Mr. W.

Vandals in Proton A case of more than usual interest was on before Magixirate Sinclair on Tuesday, when Utto Morley, of 3rd cijncession. Proton, and Htnry Stuckey, of Grand Valley, were charged by High Constable Couk, uf Ceylon, with variouH acts of destruction of property. Both young men pleaded guilty and were committed to Owen Sound jail, to await trial before a higher court. It appears that the depredations were done on Wednesday night of last week, when the men were returning to Morley s house from Grand Vallty. They admit having been drinking.

The apprehension of the guilty ones waj not a difficult matter. They, pniccically, gave themselves up after the clues were brought home to them.

Principal ipal I A Gift With a Thought in it What other Christmas present costs so little and means so much as a subivcription to The Youths Companion â€" 52 weeks to any Canadian subscriber for $2.00? It is a gift which beoedts not only the one who receives it, but every member of the same household. With many Christmas presents the sense of novelty wears off by the week's end, but The Ysutb's Companion is as new and sought after the 6fty-8econd week of the year as the tirst. It is elastic in its adaptability too; for it does not matter whether the present is for a boy or a girl, young married people, sedate couples, grand-parents â€" there never was 00* yet who did not set store by The Youth's Companion. You cannot make a miitaka if you give The Companion â€" and it ia only )2.00 a year nuw to Canadian subscribers. On January 1, 1912, the price will be advanced to 12.25. The one to whom yoa give the subscrip- tion will receive free The CoBipanion's Calendar for 1912, lithographed in ten color and gold, and you, too, as giver of the aubsciption, will recieve a copy of the Calendar.
