KrrrrrH M,KNuE.-Ws have the sad

KESNETH M'KRM.-We have the sad
duty to perform Of announcing the death,
after lingering and painful sickness, of
Mr.. Kenneth M'Kenzie, known as Con
tractor M'Kenzie," from the many con-
tracts be has had both from the govern
ment snd the Lake Shore and other com
panies. In his profession he had few
equals, either for grading, dock work or
bridge building. He was master Of his busi
ness. Death overlook him with his har-
ness on-hsving the contract with the
government for extending the piers at the
Harbor, and the large contract for build
the L. S. iron ore and crane docks now in
progress on the eompanY's territory, on
the east side of the Harbor. Though un-
able for the most part to take personal di-
rection of these works, they have been
carried on with much energy and ability
by his two sons-Frank and George. Mr..
M'Kenzie has beena resident of Ashtabu-
Ia for some fifteen years, and engaged for
much of the time on public works. His
standing and qualifications are, therefore
pretty we'll known. He has been some
thing of q disciplinarian from his exten-
sive management of men, and watched
the progress of his contracts in all their de-
tail, which, with his soundness of judg
ment, accounts for the superiority of his
work, and the success that has rewarded
his efforts. His fidelity and integrity in
all his business relations, have commanded
the attention and respect of every one
familiar with his operations. With high
sense of honor and self-respect, every OBJ
legation, both to his employers and en-
Ployes, were always scrupuously discharg-
ed. His pride and practice have been to
owe mo man anything His public works
have brought reverses to the place, and
in his contributions TO the public welfare
and prosperity, his death will be felt as a
public loss. His works, however, will live
after him as monuments 20 his skill, accu-
racy and fidelity. The Lake Shore COM
pany, especially under its dead and Ia
mented chief engineer, held him in high
respect, which made him their favOrite
contractor. In all the relations of citi-
zen, neighbor and friend he carried the
same fidelity that characterized his pecu-
MARY and business connections. The fam
lily he has left consist of his wife, who was
married in Canada, and the two sons
named. He also leaves three brothers
one in Nova Scotia, another in Lenisville,
KY, and the third in Texas.
The funeral took place on Thursday after
noon from the house and was very largely
attended, not only by our own citizens but
by friends and relatives from other and
distant places. The pastor Of the Presby-
terian church, Rev. Mr.. M'Giffert, Of

Mr.. Mortimer Whitehead, of New Jersey,
a farmer and lecturer of the National
Grange, gave a public lecture in Jefferson.
It was rare opportunity for curious cor
respondent, and we improved it and learned
from him that the Grange was useful to
teach farmers to mind their own business.
He said farmers had found that they could
now insure as safely for 81 premium in
their own companies as what they formerly
had to pay $40 for. He spoke Of education
al, and moral advantages. giving instances
of convincing nature to illustrate each
point: A certain Pennsylvania community
could never unite to establish a Sab
bath school until grange had been estab-
lished and had harmonized the people, then
they easily established q Sabbath school
there that exceeded any IN that county.
Often it is found that patrons are led to
consider their ways and unite with the
church; their religious impressions being
suggested by the instructions given in the
grange. A petition signed by upwards of
a million persons, and if pasted in con-
tinuous roll would be about mile in length,
was sent to Washington against the renew
ing Of sewing machine patents, it resulted
in reducing the price $50 on each machine,
saving on the 600, 900 machines sold by the
Singer Company alone $1S, ,OOO, 900 to the
people-not counting the sales of other
companies that do not give their figures.
An immense aggregate saved to the work
ing people of the land. The secret feature
of the order is objected to; yet it is no more
secret than is the family circle-the family
is salone-the door shut-a knock comes aud
after finding who is without you admit, if
a proper person, to your home circle. If
stranger or one who has forfeited your con-
fdenee you treat him ciyilly but you let
family talk or business cease until is he
away. So does the grange. That is all.
