Epidemic of Grass Fires There has been an apparent epi- demic of grass fires during the week and the local fire brigade has done very commendable work, being both prompt in answering the calls and ef- ficient in handling the fires. hi all cases the fires/have been caused by the placing of small grass fires which get-beyond control. The‘fire brigade made record time in attending all calls and their prompt action was re- sponsible for the saving of consider- able loss. Citizens are urged to be very 'careful in lighting fires at this season of the year.

The entire com- niunity in yvhich he has lived and conducted business for the past forty years was shocked by the news and people in every walk of life are one in paying tribute to the worth 01 the dcâ€" ceased and in the praise of his sterl- ing character and genial disposition which won for him the respect and admiration “of a Wide circle of friends. The late Mr. Innes Who was in his seventieth year was born in Thornhill but spent most of his younger days in the Gormley district, coming to Richmond Hill in 1887. He has conâ€" ducted an extensive lumber business here ever since and was active until his last brief illness. Although con- ducting an extensive business he al- ways found time to interest himself in many community endeavors and served for several years on the town council. He was a charter member of the Sons of Scotland and has been an active member of the society since its organization here in 1892. A staunch Presbyterian in religion he has always been a pillar of the church and was elected as elder in 1895. He has been clerk of the sessâ€" ion for a great many years and will be greatly missed by the members of the Richmond Hill congregation who have always looked to him for lead- ership and inspiration. ' The funeral which was held from his late residence on Tuesday after- noo was one of the largest ever held in th's district and was generous tes- timony of the irreparable sense of loss which was felt in the community. Old employees, business men and. men end women in every walk a‘id'vocation in life were represented and the gloom which was evident. bespoke the loss of an upright citizen who was at all times a man among men. The fun- eral services were conducted by Rev. M. C. Campbell of the Presbyterian Church and interment followed in the Richmond Hill cemetery. The pall bearers wereâ€"Messrs. C. Marsh. Da» vid Hill, Jas. Monkman, Fred Hopper Geo. Sims and Geo. Metcalf. The sudden death occurred in Mark- ham township on Saturday, April 5) of Ethel J. Nixon, beloved wife of J. L.
