To know Mr. Ar- nott was to compel esteem for him. His genial, manly nature was a mag- net that unconsciously drew friends to him. The church at Waraham has lost a staunch and loyal member. When a good deed or kind word was needed his generous heart was ready to respond. An obliging neighbor, an honorable opponent, a warm- hearted and true friend, in short, possessing the qualities that consti- tute a desirable and good citizen. Is it any wonder we mourn his passin-* in the prime of his manhood, when, hu- manly speaking, the indications point- ed to many years of usefulness * The funeral last Thursday was the largest ever seen in this part, a great many- people from afar off attending. Rev. Mr. Duffield officiated and the Mas- onic order, of which deceased was a member, followed with their beautiful and impressive service. To his wife and family, his mother, sisters and brothers, the deep sympathy of all is extended. Mr. Albert Thompson had the mis- fortune to have his "right hand badly torn while assisting to place the threshing machine in " : H McNally's barn. The injury will prevent him using the hand for some time. Mr. Jas. Orr of Toronto cume up to attend Mr. Arnott's funeral and is visitng at Mr. W. A. Morton's Mr. John Burk of Shelburne, also attended the funeral and called on friends on the Centre Line. Mr. Jas. McLennan of Toronto visi- ted with his brothers and sisters here.
