DEATH OF 'MRS, ,HAWKINS. --
dhThe rathersudden and unexpected
eath f Mrs. Thomas. t-iawkins : came
as a great shock to this community on
I'4 ednesday morning, it seeming al-
mQs,. incredible. Deceased for the
past few weeks had been. ailing slight-
ly but she continued to discharge hex
household < duties up to within a fete
days of her death, thecause of which
was an acute awtack of peritonitis. A-
bout ,a week ago deceased while on
be wav to the _ Trivitt Memorial
church slipped and fell on the side
walk She paid little attention to the
mishap at the tim,e, but the same af-
ternoon she was compelled to leave
the church for her home, and while
it is not thought the accident was the
sole. cause of slier death it probably
hastened it. Deceased's maiden
name was Jessie Whiteford, being a
daughter of the .late Adam, ,.White-
ford and Vas born in: the Township
of Hay Feb, 1857, consequently she
was in her 57th year. Mrs. Hawkins
was of a cheerful and' loving disposi-
tion itnd she won a place; in the hearts
of all who knew her,' and she leaves
behind her the fragrance of a pure life
that will remain while memory lasts,
She was a valued member of Trivitt
Memorial church, and took an active
part and a deep, interest in all that
pertained to its welfare," Besides her
deeply sorrowing husband she is sur-
vived by one son and two daughters,

IT IS THE DAY OF CANDID AD-
VERTISING
--o--
Time was when even reputable
merchants lacked full candor in their
advertising. It was argued -by people'
ridiculous ideas of the aims and
purposes of advertising -that the
people would only believe a small
part of what an advertiser claimed
anyhow; hence it behooved him to
exaggerate accordingly, so that
after the reader's deductions for
exaggerations had been liberally made
a basis of truth would remain.
As: this was always a false argu-
ment, It has been exploded -to stay
exploded!
Self-respecting, thinking people are
the people who read ads nowadays.
And to deliberately mistate a fact
in advertising now is simply a
species of attempted business suicide.
A store which would thus forfeit
the confidence or respect of all
honest people would' soon find out
that there were not enough dis-
honest people -or of people who
would condone' dishonest advertising
in this town to, support the small --
est store 'itt"'It. "
Yot: may read the ads nowadays
with "the' satisfying knowledge that
advertisers realiz e that falsehood is
business suicide -unfailingly!
Candid advertising is necessary :low
