JAMES RIOHARI RANKIN.
Pertioularly sad is the home of Mr.
George Rankin, wheal five -months -old
son, Jamea Riohard, was called away
on Friday last. The Ittle fellow had
been in delicate health for some time.
Mrs. Rankin has been n ill health for
some weeks, but we learn that she is
now convalesoing, and 't is hoped will
soon regain her usual h alto. The loss
of the tender little life i keenly felt by
the parents. The funeral took plane on
Sunday morning, to theingham ceme-
tory, services being coed oted by Rev.
0. E. Jenkins rector of St, Paul's church.
FRED. H. How`IION.
Deepest gloom overshadowed the
household of Mr. and Mrs. W. J.
Howson, when on Saturday morning
their eldest son, Fred. I#., whose con-
dition had within the past ° week beoome
so critical that hopes of bis ultimate
recovery were despaired bf, passed over
to the Great Beyond.; Fred. was
brought home a little over two weeks
ago 1 rom Gorrie, and habeen suffering
from hemorrhage of th lungs, which
had become so violent pat despite the
efforts of medical skill land the • most
kindly oare and attentidn, it could not
be checked, The subject of this notioe
had been a resident oil Wingham for
some years, Doming there with his
parents. He was regarded as an ex-
emplary young man, i and had been
making eatisfactory p ogress toward a
promising and suooes ful career, For
some time he was emp dyed in a general
store here, but later voided to take up
the banking business and entered the
employ of the Gorr a branoh of the
Bank of Hamilton, whioh position he
held until his death./ Some time ago he
connected himself with the Methodist
Church, and faithfully endeavored to
live np to its teachings. The 1aueral

GEORGE 0ANiYBELL HANNA.
Suddenly indeed came the call to
George O. Hanna to lay aside the
aotivities of this info. Only a little
more than two we s ago in the enjoy-
ment of apparent a1th, with prospects
of many years bef re him, his removal
under mach peoulia ]y sad oiroumstances
has beclouded the omen of the family
and relatives with : sorrow, and cast a
shadow of gloom oer the community.
A couple of weeks ago Mr. Hanna ton-
traoted typhoid, and although every
possible effort was made to check the
ravages of the disease, he passed away
on Friday afternoon last. The circum-
stances are fnrthoi• saddened by the
illness of his yonng, wife, who a short
time ago was taken i11 and is at present
at the home of her father, Mr. Peter
Fisher, The late Mr. Hanna was born
in East Wawanosh and removed to

were the family do •bly efim.ioted. The
late Mr. Hanna h:, been in delicate

they lived for abo t four years. Iu 1876
they disposed of his property and Mr.
