Editor Hcrdid:-As chairman Of the
meeting Of the citizens Of Prince Ed
ward held on August 18th, at WOrsham,
! think it proper to correct the state
ment made in your last paper that you
could not get an account of the meeting
as it was secret meeting 1t was as
far as | know the general wish Of all
present that the proceedings should be
published. No one was excluded from
the meeting. Other professions besides
farmers were present and took part in
the proceedings. This meeting was
called by the Farmers UniOn,n Of
Rice, but they disclaimed having the
intention Of excluding other good citi-
Zens. Yours truly,

generally upon secretaries Of such meet

secretary. He refused positively to
furnish it, though he did hand in a
resolution of respect to the late w. II.
Thackston which was passed by that
meeting, and which ii was the pleasure
of the HERALD 10 give to the public.
To whom could we have gone save to
Mr.. Clark who was the custodian Of the
record? 1t would have been guess
work from any other source, and the
HERALD prefers to be accurate in max
ing such reports. We regret that Nh.

OBITUARY.

We the members Of the A pha Chap
ter. Phi Sigma Delta Fraternity, de-
string to express our grief at the death
of our noble brother, Albert Percy
Baldwin, and our appreciation of his
high character, unanimously endorse
the following resolutions:
lst. As "a charter member we have
known aud loved our departed brother
since our organization, and as the years
have gone by and we have watched
with pleasure the development Of his
character, his splendid social and busi-
ness qualities, and his correct moral and
christian life we had learned more and
more to admire aud love him.
2nd. That while we cannot possibly,
with our eyes suliused with tears, see
through the mysterious Providence
which calls one away who was just
fairly entering upon life, with youth,
chosen loved one and bright outlook
for the future, yet we would bow in
submission TO the edict of supreme love
and wisdom. Perchance:
"Weli catch the broken threads again,
And finish what We here began;
Heay'n will the mysteries explain,
And then, all then, we'll understand
3rd. That we extend to his parents,
brothers and sisters, and also to his
sadly bereaved companion our loving
sympathy, while we commend them to
the Keeping Of the Father of Us all who
is "too wise to err, too good to be I'M
kind
