George w. Barclay was born in Poland town.

and died May 18th, 1891, being SO years. II
months and Is days old at the time of his de-
cease.
In retracing the chronological order of his
| career, we find that his boyhood days were spent
on the farm. At the age of IS he apprenticed
himself to learn the carpenter and joiner trade,
which business he followed in connection with
farming most of his life. In 1892 he settled on
the farm occupied by him at the time of his
DEATH
On the nth CT April, 1891, he was married
to Miss Hannah Dawson, who was the mother
of five children. After life of usefulness and
devotion to her family. she departed this life
June 18th, IS47, greatly beloved by all.
Mr.. Barclays second marriage took place
Sept. 9TH, I849. One daughter Hattie-was
the result of this alliance, making in all six chill
dren, all of whom survive him.
He was man of no ordinary skill as me-
chanic
September cot 1870, while at work on this
Hall, and cautioning others to be careful, and
thoughtless OF his own danger, he stepped on a
joist which gave way, precipitating him a dis
tance of twenty feet, and colliding with the
timbers below.
Mr. Barclay was one of Edinburg's most es
teemed men. By his uprightness and kindly
actions he greatly endeared himself to all, OLD
and young.
The respect of his townsmen was shown by
bestowing on him marks of public favor and
calling him to fill nearly all of the town offices
He was an impartial Justice of the Peace and
commended for his fairness in the discharge o.
his official duties.
In concluding the brief history of George w
Barclay, we cannot pay better passing tlibute
than to say that he was jovial, kind and gener-
Gus, self-sacrihcing and considerate of the feel
lngs of others; unusually good neighbor,
upright in his dealings with his fellow-man, en-
terprising and charitable
| His funeral was held at the Town Hall at II

and was very largely attended. His remains
were inferred at Edinburg.

We deposit each month small sum, a portion
of which is invested in real estate securities,
the balance of said monthly deposit and the in

to mature our certificates. Another prolific
source of revenue is that derived from fines for
the NON payment of monthly deposits on the day

history of all organizations shows to be one OF
the largest sources of revenue. The only adj
vantage the first men have over the last is that
their certificates mature earlier. but the matter

most nutritious food known. This and raw fish
was the food of the ancient natives.
And now 1 wish to speak of the natives. As a
race, they are the finest specimen of physical
man that have ever met-tall. compact, well
proportioned, and many of them have noble
and heroic bearing. The same is true of the
women, and no matter in what clothing clad,
they walk with the majesty of queens. In dis
position they are kindly. gentle and generous to
a fault. The home of one is the home of all.
According to tradition. in their ancient estate
they were fierce and warlike and since their final
conquest and subjugation by the great Kanieha-
mea. this trait seems to have forsaken them and
since their intercourse with white men began,
! something over one hundred years o,they seem
| to be suffering from that same baleful influence
that has overtaken and destroyed our own Indi-
ans. and has ever been potent in the destruc-
ton of aboriginal races of men. We call it civil
| lization. What the entry in the " Great Book "
will be. in the grand final round up" have
serious misgivings. Whatever the effect may be
upon their future life. it has been terribly disas-
trous in the present. From four hundred thou
sand. when the islands were discovered. they
have perished from the earth, until at present
but forty thousand remain. And they constitute
about one-half the total population The other
half is composed of Cinnamon. Portuguese, ia

all nationalities on earth.
But very little of their native land now remains
in the possession of the natives. In their natural
improvidenee they have sold off their birthright
little by little. many times for next to nothing
until at last all that remains to them that would
be of any value, is here and there little " ku.
LANA or homestead. and then their ciUiliginG

"To err is human" The PRESS makes no
claim of infallibility in its judgment. but is
free to acknowledge that we. as well as others,
are often in the wrong. In the article referred
to above. which Secretary King is pleased to
pronounce an underhanded'' attack upon the
w. r. S. Il B. Assn. we gave our readers such
facts concerning the workings of that organiza-
tion. as we were able to gather from reliable
sources. and after careful reading of each par
agraph of the article, two of the foremost mem
bers of the organization informed us that there
were no material misstatements of facts therein
They differ with us in estimating the results.
1t is true the Association is composed largely OF
representative business men, and many of ou1
best citizens are among its members. but we
believe we may honestly differ with them in
regard to the benefits to be derived for such ar
investment. Time will tell who is in error.

In your paper of April 90 you invite discus

SUM time and standard Tor 9lth meridian) time
To ascertain this, it is only necessary to know
the difference in longitude. Ravenna is in
longitude 81 deg "a min, making difference
of deg. SO min. between this and the 9Olh
meridian. One degree of longitude is equal to
four minutes in time. and one minute of longl-

Communication.

To the Editor SrUR lis ADVERTISERS:
To the public in general and to every
one of my friends who in any way assist
ed me in obtaining justice in my late
trouble, wish to extend my warm thanks
for their every effort.
Although the crime for which / am
convicted was one I had no control over,
I will abide by the decision of those who
were chosen to decide how great the
crime really was. I am quite an old
man now, and five years more will add
materially to my now declining health.
and I sincerely hope that if I am allowed
to live few years longer, that when 1
return to my now broken family circle,
that people will forgive and forget, and
let me have the good will of the public
again as one who has paid the full pen
atty of the law. Yours truly,
N. LAFLAMME.
