News of October 9th carries a bulletin issued by Mar- ket Commissioner Grant of Calgary, Alta,, on October 4th which says in part:-- J. A. M. Livingston appeared asking that the old standpipe on Maple avenue be removed. It is now out of use and the council will remove it. There was some discussion of 'the cemetery by-law but nothing definite was done. As a result the Canadian Radiant Electric company and 'the Grimsby Foundry company will be remitted each $50 of their 1924 taxes. It was shown that Edna B. Randall did not own a lot for which she had been as- sessed on Elizabeth street, and the taxes were ordered remitted. In the same bulletin it is noted that eleven quart baskets of Ontario pears sold in Calgary for $1.50. A special meeting of the town Coun- oil was held on Tuesday night, Oct. 14 to discuss the assessment of some businesses that had apparently shown cause for some readjustment. Indirect advertising is something that few merchants seem to under- stand, some will not be convinced un- der any circumstances, so imbued are they with their own importance. But here is an example that is worth not- ing. On Sept. 24 The Independent published an article about a defunct firm that had sold some horseradish roots in this neighborhood on the un- derstanding that the company would buy the product-which they did not do. A couple of days ago a man came into this office and wanted to know it we could tell him where he could find some of this surplus horseradish. He had heard of the story in The Inde- pendent and wanted to buy. He had driven all the way from Dunnville to get the information, and to try and purchase some of it.

A Spec- ial Telephone wire from The Indeven- dent office will run direct into the Town Ball, Beamsville and the re- turns will be announced there'almost simultaneously with the announcement in Grimsby. A. M. Millward, of The Independent staff, will be in charge of the Beamsville wire and fast service is thus assured. A musical programme will also be provided in Beamsville, although arrangements for this pro- gramme have as yethnt, been fully completed. \ Telegraph wires and special ser- vices cost money-a whole lot of money these days, and in order to re- lieve the expense somewhat, an ad- mission fee to Independent hall, of ten cents, will be charged. Besides the returns of the election, a special musical programme, by the Fruit Belt's premier musical organiza- tion, the Norton Orchestra, will be provided. As an extra special at- traction, Stanley Norton, the ten-year- old whistling wizard ,will appear and show you how it is possible to bring forth the finest music in the world from an ordinary San Francisco whis- tle. Besides this, he will appear in one or two numbers with the violin, playing such popular waltz numbers as "Memory Lane," "Colorado", "What'll I Do" and many other fav- orites. This private wire will run direct into the editorial rooms of The Inde- pendent and as fast as they are re- ceived will be written out, tabulated and relayed upstairs to Independent Hall where they will be announced. There is an election taking place, on Thursday of next week, October 23rd, and no one in the Niagara pen- insula knows this better than does the staff of The Independent, for, has not this staff for the past three Weeks, been working night and day on proc- lamations, ballots andother election printing. This paper also knows there is an election comingon, from a news point of view. The result is that The Independent has secured a special leased wire over the C. P. R., and has made special arrangements with The Daily Star, Toronto, for a full and complete ser- vice of the returns of the election from all over Ontario on the night of the election.

Keffer and Tallman officiating. The pall-bearers were six 'nephews: Messrs. Stephen, Robert, Alvin, Frank, Melvin and Theodore Warden. Many Mr. Isaac Wardell was married in 1855 to Miss Isabel Meredith, one of the old pioneer families of the dis- trict. They had' no children, his wife predeceased him about four years ago. Mr. Wardell for many long years was engaged in the wholesale cattle business and was well-known all over the western section of Ontario. He lived at various times in St. Cath- arines, Rainham and Bothwell and was in the latter place at the time of the oil boom. The past 52 years of his life were spent as a resident of Smithville, where he has been well and favorably known and highly respect- ed by a very wide circle of friends. In politics, Mr. Wardell was,a life-long Liberal, and in religion was a member of the Smithville Disciple Church. . John Nash married Jane McKay many years ago, and she died about seven years ago. A son and daugh- ter survive, the daughter, Miss Mar- garet Nash, living at home, and the son is Oliver Nash, a well-known fruit grower in Stoney Creek. Deceased was born in Clinton town- ship in the year 1832, his parents be- ing the late Isaiah Wardell and Eliza- beth Tinlin. He was one of three boys in the family, Cyrus; James and Isaac and by his father's second marriage he had a number of half- brothers and half-sisters. His broth- ers predeceased him years ago. Two half-brothers predeceased him in Aug- ust of this year, George, of Dundas, and William, of Duluth. Richard, of Beamsville and two half-sisters, Mrs. Jane Price, and Mrs. Martha McCol- lum, both of Hamilton, survive. A life-long resident of Stoney Cre In, a highly respected citizen and a wiée- ly known man died at Stoney Creek on Friday last, in the person of John G. Nash, in his 88th year. Mr. Nash comes of a family tree whose roots have long since been embedded in Canadian soil. John Nash's father and grandfather lived in Canada, and it is nearly 200 years since the first Nash crossed over from New Jer- sey and took up residence under the British flag. Going back still furth- er one finds that the Nashes came out with the Pilgrim Fathers over 300 years ago, and the three generations of Nashes that have lived on Cana-, dian soil are an indication of the stock from which they have sprung. __ He is also survived by two brothers, William, of Stoney Creek, and Nathan, of California, and five sisters, Mrs. Ut- ter, of Hamilton; Mrs. S. Beamer, and Miss B. Nash, of California; Mrs. Freeman, of Saltfleet, and Mrs. K. Killman, Stormy Creek. On Friday, October 3rd, while sit- ting at his evening meal, death's mes- senger summoned one of Smithville's pioneer residents in the person of Mr. Isaac Wardell, who was in his ninety- third year. Although, suffering at times fromislight cause, through old age, Mr. Wardell had never suffered any serious sickness during his long life, and the end came with great sud- denness, although not altogether 11n- expected. After living her alloted span and more, there passed peacefully away, on Wednesday morning last, a once familiar figure to the village and dis- trict of Beamsville for over sixty years, in the person of Mrs. Margaret iCouse. She made many friends in every section of the province and also a host of warm personal friends dur- ing her long connection as mistress of the well-known and old-established hostelry known as the Couse House. She was a scion of a line of the origin- al Moyer family, who came early to this section of the community. Dur- ing her long residence in Beamsville, she kept in constant touch with peo- ple and affairs,' and during her later years her greatest pleasure was in meeting and talking over old times with people' who still remembered, as she did herself quite distinctly, the early history of the village and dis- trict. In church matters she was an enthusiastic member of the Presbyter- ian church and a constant attendant at services. Some five years acre she went to Hamilton to stay with her youngest daughter. Mrs. Cou.rt Thomson, but made many return VIS- its to her old home town. The last was three weeks ago, when, on ar- riving to spend a few days with her daughter, Mrs. G. S. Kerr, she took a bad spell of illness and never rallied. The funeral was held at Fort Myers at which, two brothers, Albert and William attended. He leaves to mourn his loss his wife and three children, Margaret and Herbert in Fort Myers and Roy of Iowa Falls, and two brothers and four sisters all of Grimsby, and another brother William of Iowa Falls. Mr. Marsh was well known and highly respected throughout the Nia- gar district. In politics he was a Conservative, and in religion a Methodist. He located in Iowa Falls, Iowa, but sometime after went to Fort Myers, Florida, where he accepted a position as manager of the Peninsla Lumber company. Unfortunately, his health did not improve, although he sub-. mitted to several operations, the last one being performed Tuesday, from which deceased never rallied. From early manhood until the time he left.for the south he was assocnat- ed in the lumber business with Daniel Marsh & Sons, as bookkeeper, but, through failing health he was com- pelled to sever his connections with the firm and go away. V WESLEY MARSH Word was received on Wednesday last of the death of Daniel Wesley Marshfat Fort. Myers, Florida.

They are plentiful in the French River district to Sudbury trom French River; along the main line ot the Canadian Pacific Railway from Sudbury to Chapleau and also in the Maritime Provinces, as well as in the district around Sharbot Lake.

Chief Clark has had many com- plaints from residents in Saltfleet and Barton ot the wholesale theft of fruit. People, it is reported to the chief, are going out to farms conven- ient to the city and taking away loads of peaches and grapes. The automo- bile is frequently used to carry off the booty. Sunday many motorists helped themselves to small quantities of fruit and farms along the high- way suffered considerably by reason of the careless way the grapes were torn from the vines. The county police have been requested by the chief to keep a close watch for the fruit thieves. DeWit's garage, on the Queenston highway, near Stoney Creek, was broken into Sunday night. Twelve new tires and some automobile acces- sories were removed.
