Walker, wellâ€"known farmer and fruit grower of the Township of North GRIMSBY. The deceased gentleman had a very severe illness in 1915 and although he recovered suffictently to go about, and enjoy very good health, he neverl gained his usualâ€"strength,. _A short time before his death he took sick’ and was troubled greatly with weakâ€" ness. On Monday morning he was a.t-| tacked with a spell of weakness durâ€"} ing which he passed away. Deceased was a member of the Walker family, who were among the pioneers of North GRIMSBY, and was| born on the farm where he died, hayâ€" ing lived on it all his life. He had atâ€" tained the age of sixtyâ€"nine years. He was a member of a large family, his father being the late John Walkerl and his surviving prothers and sisâ€" ters being, William of London, Ont.,l Robert of ‘Regina, Sask., Mrs. With-i inton, of Philadelphia, Pa2., Mrs. | Solon Woolverton, of London, Ont., l and Mrs. W. Drummond, of Waterâ€" down, Ont. At Vinemount, on Jan. &rd., 1917, Elizabeth Stapleton, wife of the late Andrew Stapleton, passed peacefully away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Harry Smith, aged 87 years. The deceased came to reside with ber daughter, Mrs. Harry Smith, who purchased Mr. Prues fruit farm some ten years ago and has lived with her since. She was in guod health up to the time of her deaih, passing away peacefully in her sleep, she leavess to mourn her loss four sons and five daughters. nis nome tllig moruing, 10110 Willa & long illness. He was i n his eightyâ€" seventh year. He was a native of Grimsby Township; sgraduated from Victoria College, and was crdained as a Metbodist minister in 1858. Hevfilled charges in Baltimore, Ont., Perth, Trenton, Victoria, B. C., Alliston, Simcoe, Milton, Woodstock, Welland and Niagara Falls Souath.

They say that in the fall they could not get coal of any great amount from the coal operators in the States, but now they can get all they want, but the railways are unable to get it through to them. On Monday they were practically cleaned out of coal of every description,. 6 J. H. Gibson has been sending his coal out to his customers in five hunâ€" dred pound lots for the past ten days. On Monday he did not have a scrap of coal in his bins. He has three cars on the road but cannot get them through. B Local coal dealers have done every thing in their power to "Keep the Home Fires Burning" and be‘ it to their everlasting credit they have suc ceeded very well. They have sold their coal very sparingly.

Last Spring the coal dealers could get all the coal they wanted and could get it through, but the householder would not order his coal and have it put in his bins. They are just the same on this matâ€" ter as the fruit gruewer is about orâ€" dering his baskets early and storing them in his fruit and drive sheds. If a man has the money to buy and pay for a ton of coal every month through the cold weather, he has the money to buy and pay for a ton of coal every month through the Spring and Sumâ€" mer and when Winter comes his coal bin is full and he has nothing to worry about, but no, he won‘t do this. Like his brother procrastinator, the} The funeral is taking place this afternoon to St. Andrews Church Cemetery, services being conducted by the rector, Rev. J. Allan Ballard, ered,. but The householder who is short on coal is in the same boat. He won‘t give his order to the coal dealer in the Spring and Summer and get his Winter supply in, but waits till the cold weather comes and then buys a ton at a time, and if anything hapâ€" pens to the mines or the railroads he is out in the cold without any coal to keep the cold from making him cold, and then he turns around and blames the coal dealer for all his troubles. The whole system is wrong and the sooner it is righted the better off the whole country will be. f Like fruit U G | : .‘ ‘\[_:' n We are determined to Unload our Entire OVERCOAT Stock.® REDUCTIONS of the most Radical kind have been made to accomplish our purpose.
