Notes:

Scott & Martindale, dealers in Marble and Granite - Among the many manufacturing industries which tend to make up the importance of Galt as a manufacturing centre, is that solely represented in the town by Messrs. Scott & Martindale, dealers in marble and granite, and monument sculptors. This business was founded 30 years ago by Mr. John Scott, father of the senior member of the present firm. The yards, which occupy about 400 square feet, are located on Spruce Street, where employment is furnished to six careful and skillful workmen. The members of the firm are both practical workmen, and give their undivided attention to the business. Their monumental work abounds in specimens of skillful workmanship, showing the artist in conception and the true disciple of art in execution. The beautiful cemeteries in this section contain many examples of these traits, mementoes in memory of those "gone to that bourne from whence no traveller returns, but nevertheless works of art. In addition to mortuary work the firm make marble mantels, table tops, etc. They also deal largely in granite and marble for builders' and other uses. The firm are persevering and enterprising business men, who are achieving success through their own individual efforts and business ability. Mr. Scott and also Mr. Martindale are natives of Canada, and are gentlemen held in the highest repute in the community.

MR. JOHN SCOTT, STONE CUTTER

No doubt many of our readers will be surprised to learn of the death of this well-known resident of our town, which took place at his residence on Wednesday morning last, in the 54th year of his age. Mr. Scott's illness was a comparatively short duration, his disease being inflammation of the lungs; and nothing serious was anticipated until a few days prior to his death. Mr. Scott has been a resident of Galt, although not continuously, for more than thirty years. He was a man of great intelligence, being well read in almost every subject, and possessed of a memory which enabled him at any moment to call to his aid the facts he had stored away during his literary researches. Naturally of an impulsive temperament, he always took strong grounds in favor of any cause that commended itself to him. He was an active politician, and in several of the contests in this Riding he took great interest in the success of the Reform candidate. Of late years he has not taken as active a part in public affairs as he previously did, the claims of his large family and extensive business necessitating his almost constant attention thereto; but under all circumstances he was an active man in his own sphere, and could sustain any cause he was upholding with an ability which under more favorable circumstances, might have enabled him to occupy a high position in the country. In private life Mr. Scott was much respected and his death will leave a blank in the town which it will be very difficult to fill.

The funeral will take place this (Friday) afternoon, at 4 o'clock, from his late residence, near the Central School, to Galt Cemetery.
