In the death of Henry B. Burner,
the Methodist Church has lost a

the weekly prayer meetings, in which
he took an active part for many
years. He was a devoted Christian
man and was always ready to render
assistance in every effort to advance
the work of his Master.
Resolved, That while we deplore
the loss of his presence among US,
we rejoice in the assurance that he is
now enjoying the reward of the faith

brothers and sister.
Resolved, That this tribute be re-

Dairymen's Meeting
At Woodstock.

The past decade has witnessed won
derfui developments in the dairy in
dustry of this state and the dairymen
are realizing more anc more fully the
adaptability of this section for the
industry. Grain farming has been
tried out in different parts of America
and also in Europe countries and the
results have always been the same,
decreased fertility consequently
smaller yields.
Wherever Gairying has been prop
erly conducted it has proven a very
remunerative occupation and it has
many advantages over other branches
of farming chief of which are the in
creased fertility OF the soil and
monthly incomes.
Believing that still greater i'm
Iprovements can be made and in or
