The two hundred acre farm on which the lake is situated has been purchased from Mr. John Poole by Mr. Hank Pacey of Windsor who intends to erect a dance pavillion and develop it otherwise by erecting' summer cottages and making a camp for tourists. Mr. (Pacey is a son-in-law of Mr. John Robertson of Maxwell and is a prom- inent hotel owner in Windsor. Brew- ster's Lake is well known throughout this entire district and is a beauty spot that should be known far and wide. It occupies an area of some ninety acres and sometimes hundreds of people are to be seen there on a Sunday enjoying the pleasant sur- roundings. There is also good bass fishing in the lake. Mr. Pacey's ven- ture will be watched with interest and with the hope that it will prove to be a paying venture for the new owner of the property and advertise the beauties to be found in the scen- ery of that district.

Probably there is truth enough in the claim that flattery is ninety per cent soft soap and also in the added assertion that soft soap is ninety per cent lye. (by our Eugenia Corresspondent) Our community was shocked to hear of the sudden passing of Mr. Jos. Sherwood, one of our uighly es- teemed citizens, at his home in tne village on Thursday evening about five o'clock. He was in fairly good health and was going about his daily routine as usual. While carryinj? in an armful of wood just previous to getting his supper, he took a weak spell, falling and passing away almost instantly. He was born in King Township 82 lyears ago and with his parents he moved to Kimberley later coming to Eugenia. In November, 1881, he mar- ried Miss Sara Hawkins who passed away ten years ago. After their marriage they resided for some time on a farm on the third line of Eu- phrasia Township after which they purchased a farm at Rock Mflls where they lived for some time. Later they moved to the Hawkins farm on the eighth line where they resided a few years. Retiring from fai-m life they bought the fine brick residence from Mr. Robt. McMaster in the village where they lived until death. This happy union was blesesd with two children Lucy (Mrs. Donald McDon- ald) ami Selena (Mrs. Jas. Porteous) both deceased. The late Mr. Sherwood was a .â- staunch Orangeman, being a member for sixty-five years. He was a mem- ber of the Presbyterian Church later the United. He was a Idnd neighbor and friend and will be greatly missed in the village. The funei'al was held on Saturday last. After a short service at the house the remains were taken to the church where a large number of friends and neighbors had assembled to pay their last tribute of respect to /the deceased. His pastor. Rev. S. Elliott, officiated at the house, the church and the grave. The choir sang that beautiful hymn "Face to Face." The minister's message was impres- sive as well as comforting. He said "It is the hope of the wonderful life ahead that we seek here in our earth- ly life. Our evening hour would be dark only for that hope. Our life here is full of disappointments, sin. Buffering etc., but our life up yonder is void of those things." We are hap- py to know that the life of Mr. Sher- wood was pleasant. He was sur- rounded by grandchildren who loved him and he passed peacefully away leaving a beautiful memory behind. The closing hymn "Unto the hills ai'ound do I lift up my longing eyes" was sung. Surrounding and on the casket were many floral tributes expressing love for the deceased and sympathy for the bereaved. They were: a pillow from the grandchildren; a wreath from his sister, Mrs. Mark; a wreath from Mr. J. Porteous, Joe and Row- ena Porteous, Neil, Phyllis and fcucy llacDonald; a spray from Mr. and Mrs. John MacDonald and Mr. and Mrs. Sam MacDonald; a wreath from Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Quesnel and fam- ily; a spray from Mr. and Mrs. Fred Duckett and family; a wreath from L.O.L., Eugrenia; a spray from Eu- genia friends and neighbors; a spray from Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Tudor and family and a bouquet from Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Taylor. Interment took place in Salem cem- etery beside the remains of his wife. I Friends from a distance attending the funeral were: Mrs. Mark and son, John, and wife of Toronto, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Sherwood, Ceylon, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. "Quesnel of Owen Sound, Mrs. McArthur and daughter, Gladys, of Ravanna, Mrs. Susan Doupe of Saugeen Junction, Mr. and Mrs. John MacDonald and Donelda of Codring- ton, and Mr. and Mrs. Sam MacDon- ald of Toronto.

Anything that trains a boy to think, and 'hink more quickly, pays. Anything^ that teaches a boy to get the answer before the other fellow is through biting his pencil pays. The first thing that any •education ought to give a man is character, and the second thing is education. There are two parts to a college 'education, the part you get in the shcoolroom from the professors and the part you get outside of it from the boys. The first can only make you a scholar, the second can make you a man. The main thing is to get a start along the right lines. You are not expected to carry off all the educa- tion in sight. Leave a little for fh^ next fellow, but form good mental habits which are clean and straight.

Schatte and son, Eric,, of Wingham witnessed a peculiar in- cident when taking their boat out of the water. They heard an odd sound and looking around saw an immense- sized bull frog trying to swallow an- other frog, but owing to its size,, could not get it down. They captur- ed them and removed the frog from the other's mouth and both hopped away. Frogs live on insects, slugs and snails etc. and this was the first it was told of one trying to eat an- other. .A.dvice knows pretty much all there is to know about deaf ear*.
