Whereas, Our dear sister, Mrs
Hannah Mason, who has been taken
from among us and translated to her
heavenly home and whereas we, heI
friends and associates, do sincerely
mourn the loss of one whose kindly
nature, pleasant ways and nobility
of character endeared her to so wide
circle of friends. Hers was n
beautiful life, beautifully lived and
who shall estimate the value of her
influence among us with whom she
was associated. Therefore
Be it Resolved, That we, the mem
bers Of this club, extend to the fam
lily in their sorrow our tenderest
sympathy and may their hearts be
comforted with the love of God
that passeth all understanding.
Resolved, That these resolutions
be entered upon the minutes of the
club and published and that copy

Whereas, in view of the loss we
have sustained by the decease of our
friend and associate, George p Gull

sustained by those who were nearest
and dearest to him therefore
Be it Resolved, That it is but a
just tribute to the memory of the
departed to say that in regretting mis-
removal from our midst we mourn
for one who was in every way wor-
thy of our respect and regard.
Resolved, That we sincerely con-
dole with the family of the de-
ceased on the dispensation with
which it has pleased Divine Provi-
dence afflict them and commenG
them for consolation to Him who
orders all things for the best and
whose chastisements are meant in
mercy.
Resolved, That this heartfelt tes-
timonial of our sympathy and sor-
row be forwarded to the family of
our departed friend and incorporated
in the report of this meeting.

VIM. CARRIER
Some people think if they can
leave their son a farm, others think
If they can leave him education that
their son and heir will be on the suro
road to success. Another would edu-
cate him along the line of his nat
ural talent, teach him to work and
how much a dollar is worth and then
success would be the result for the
boy.
Our township cemeteries are gov
erned by the township board of
health so if very much or any work
is done it has to be done by the in
terested individuals.
Aladies Cemetery Association has
been very successful in identifying a
cemetery in Ohio. Our neighbour
Christ told us in the parable was any
one who needed our help in any way
but these days he is one Who lives
near us or one whom we see often
and come to know them better some
times than our own relatives. Our
farmers clubs extend the neighbour
hood.
The cooperative elevator is not
thought to be successful especially
in this state where we have such a
diversity of crops. By others it Is
thought to be very successful and
that it is working toward Michigan
as fifty new elevators are started
every week in the west The farmer
receives from two to seven cents
more per bushel where they are To- |
Gated. The farmer is like the Chi
nese nation, they do not know how
much power they can WELD.
A great many valuable ideas may
De received from the NJ. A. G. and |
bulletines and it is the
privilege and duty of the farmer to
lerive all the good possible from
hem as far as Institutes are con-
,erned it is thought that they are NOT
worth the expense that they are to
he state.
Much discussion and many sug-
sesions were made along the line of
making the farming as attractive to
he boy as other callings.
With good tools, work done as
oon as possible and kept done in
eason even the boys will be inter-
'sted. They like things all their
'wn too and If he can work with
rood tools instead Of slow hand work
which hardly shows that it has been
lone will be as happy as any city
