DEATHS DOINGS.

Mrs. Alex. Lothian, who had been
dangerously i'll for some time, died at
her home in Yale. June 2, 1899. She
was born in Ireland May "a, 1924, and
was in her 18th year at the time of her
decease. Her maiden name was Anna
Conway and she came from Ireland to
Canada in early girlhood. She Was
married to Alex. Lothian, in Hamilton,
Ont. nearly 30 years ago, and shared
his fortunes for more than 81 years, he
having died only few months ago.
With her husband she came to the
IS. in 1859. settling in the then will
derness of Emmett where they continu-
ed to reside until 1891, when they came
to Yale. With her husband she united
with the Brockway Presbyterian
church, of which she continued to be a
member until the organization of the
church in Yale.
Mrs. Lothian was the mother of
seven children, four of whom had pre-
ceeded her to the other world. The
funeral service was conducted in Yale,
on Tuesday, June 6, and her body was
laid to rest in the cemetery west of the
village, there to await the coming of
her Lord at the resurrection of the
dead.

On Monday morning, June 5th, the
sad intelligence was received that Mrs.
Chester Bricker, of Port Huron, was
dead. For many weeks the deceased
had been suffering from very serious
form of stomach trouble, but the sad
ending was not thought of outside of
limited circle of close friends. For
this reason the news of her death was
so unexpected and startling to all.
y few days before her death the
symptoms of her case began to assume
an alarming character, and relatives
and friends were summoned by tele-
graph, but so rapid was the work of
the destroyer that some were not able
to reach her home in time to give the
last sad greeting on this side of the
dark valley.
Mrs. Bricker was born in Baden,
Ont, April 81, 1871. She was the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. James Liv-
ingston, of Baden, Ont, and sister of
Mrs. James McColl, of this village.
In past years she had been frequent
guest of the latter at her home in Yale,
and was widely known and esteemed
by our citizens, and her death to us is
not that of stranger, but of loved
friend.
Mrs. Bricker was an accomplished
and proficient musician, and was es-
pecially skillful pianist. She was
graduate of Brantford, Ont, Female
Seminary, and had supplemented her
education by extensive travel and by
availing herself of all the advantages
the masters could give. But the voice
which sang and the fingers which
touched are alike still in death and the
souls of her friends will no more re-
spond to this enhancing power. But
the memory of all these things will re-
main in the hearts of the many who
knew and loved her.
She was married to Chester f..
Bricker about three years ago, and
they made their residence in Port HUI
ron, where Mr.. Bricker was engaged in
the drug business. In that city q
beautiful and commodious home was
built, but, alas. the stay of its mistress,
the beloved wife, within its walls was
very brief and she passed to where
mansions are not made with human
hands.
The remains were conveyed to the
home of her parents in Baden, Ont,
where the last sad rites were held and
the loved form was laid to rest.

The Situation in farewell.

Richmond Dispatch: 1t is prob
able that there will be an effort
made to have the State Committee
settle party differences in Taze-
we'll county, The Democrats have
two candidates for the legislature
in the field from that county. Mr..
Smythe, who announced himself
an independent candidate month
or more ago; and Mr.. Moss, who
was nominated a few days ago. Mr..
Smythc stated last night that he
announced his candidacy because
he was urged TO do so b. large
majority of tho best Democrats of
the county and by many of the
leading Republicans. The latter
wished Democrat returned to the
General Assembly in order that he
might secure for the county GER
tain local legislation believed to
be much needed. 1t is impossible
ior a Republican to obtain very
many favors from Democratic
Legislature. Mr.. Smythe says he
announced himself, thinking there
would he no Democratic nominee.
lie thought the opportunity to SC
cure Democratic representative
for Republican county q good
one. lie was surprised when
convention was he'd and a candi-
date nominated. 1t is said there
is likelihood of the Democrati,
Committee of the county asking
the State Committee to pronounce
MIR. Moss, Martin man, the reg
uular candidate and call off Mr..
Smythe, independent and a Tyler
man. But there is little likelihood
OF Mr.. Smythe cOnsenting to be
called Otl'-Or down.
Concerning the above we wish to
say: There is no talk here. so far
as we know or can ascertain. of
asking the State Committee to
settle "party differences in Taze-
WE'LL" The people can settle their
own affairs. They will vote for
whom they please, or not vote at
all-most likely the latter-many
of them. 1t cannot be said that
the Democrats have any candi-
date at all. Mr.. Smythe declined
to go before the convention for
nomination and Mr.. Moss, who is
not "Alartin man." who was nom
mated, has not, as yet, accepted.
If the Democrats have two candi.
dates in the field, we don't know
who they are.

BEEKEEp1NG DoN,Ts.

Don't tinker at your bees every day.
Don't allow any colonies to run short
of feed.
Don't raise herd of careless drones
to eat up the profit.
Don't expect the supply dealer to fill
all orders in one day.
Don't tear open the brood nest unless
there is real necessity.
Don't put off making or buying hives
until the swarms hang out.
Don't encourage swarming unless
you can sell bees at profit.
Don't expect anything from weak
colonies with poor old queens.
Don't expect each colony you have
to give you 200 per cent. profit.
Don't think black daubed sections of
honey will bring as much as lily white.
Don't wait until the honey flow is on
you before ordering surplus supplies.
Don't think good extracted honey
can be produced for much less than
comb.
Don't imagine if you made $40 from
one colony you can make $1,000 from
100 colonies.
Don't spread the brood nest in the
spring by inserting combs or frames
of foundation.
Don't invest big none in new fan

SHEEP ON THE FARM.
They WIN Get the owner Ont OF Debt
and Enable Him to Save Some-
thing for Old Age.

The value of sheep to the farmer is
a matter upon which there exists some
divergence of opinion, but it is fact
beyond question that where soil and sit
uation are suitable, few ii any, sections
of the farmers business lead TO more
satisfactory results. A Canadian farm
er writing on this subject has appar-
emily great faith in sheep, and says:
"a flock of good sheep of the right
sort well managed, will get the farmer
out of debt, keep him out of debt, lay
him up something for old age and leave
the farm fertile, clean and productive
for those who come after" This re-
minds me of one great benefit of keep
ing eve flock on an arabic farm, for
after the crops have been gathered by
running over the stubble they will eat
up no end of the seed pods of weeds,
ETC., and will at the same time consume
and make into valuable manure very
large quantity of remnants of the grain
crop and annual weeds that would
otherwise be left unconsumed or util-
lied in any way except being turned
in by the pillow. Good sheep of the right
sort are to be found in every breed,
though one must study the land on
which they are to be kept, but the best
should be aimed at whatever the breed.
Profitable sheep-keeping can only be
assured when first-class sheep are kept;
these cost less to keep, thrive better
and their aptitude to rapid development
and power to assimilate and apply the
food they consume in a profitable way
are certain to give larger profit for
the food consumed than sheep that are
of an inferior type. OF course we do
not mean to say that only pure-bred va
rieties should be kept, for there is prob
ably not more profitable sheep for
the ordinary grazier than that of the
first cross between two pure breeds.
Tests innumerable and show-yard re-
suits have shown that this is the case
1ndiscrininate selection, however, will
not do and the parents should be well
bred and of a good thriving type.-Prai-
ric Farmer.
