Ahater horapeau the Loudon Road, on Moliday August the 11th, Mrs. William Jeckell passed away after one week's illness. Although confin- ed to her bed she did not suffer and to the last manifested her usual thoughtfulness for her home awl those about her. • Mrs. Jeckell was born Aprill 24th, etruck the barn and followed 1 1542, Inn miles north of her home ductor pipe to a wooden post, the and thus her long and useful life has post being badly splintered. been spent in the community. Her maiden name was Essy Case. She TERM COWS In` II" - was the second daughter of the late William Case. In 1865 she married Win. Jeckell, who predeceased her nineteen years. Five sons and four daughters are left to mourn the loss of a loving mother, viz., James at home; William and Charles of Ohio; Roden of California; Allen of Daw- son; Mrs. E. P. Howe and Mrs. T. A. Fairley of Edmonton; Mrs. H. T. Rogers of Minnesota and Laura at home. Mrs, Jeckell was a member of the Caven Presbyterian church and her faithful attendance and kindly in- terest in old. and young will ever be remembered. In the passing of Mrs. Jeckell a pioneer has gone and it is such pioneers as she who laid the foundations of our Great Dominion. By her unselfish motherhood, indus- try, love and faith in God she did her part. It was very fitting that Rev. Wm. Martin, who had been her pastor for so many years, was present to assist Rev. Jas. Foote with the beautiful funeral service. All the family with the exception of Roden, Allen and Mrs. Rogers were present. A sister Miss Elizabeth Case, from Alma, Mich., 'her oldest grandson, G.

Th fine barn on the farm of Mr. • e John Leary of the 13th con. of Hib- berd, near Cromarty was etruck by lightning Sunday evening and des- troyed together with most of the season's crop. Mr. Leary had tbreela ed his wheat and the oat crop we still in the neld. The implement, shed and most of the implemente were saved, also Mr. Leary's auto. Several pigs perished in the fre. The pigs had been let out of . the barn but evidently had wandered back in again. The barn was one of the best in the township. It was 40 by 82 feet. There is $2000 insurance $1000 on the buildings anti- $1000 on the contents. The loss will be heavy and is estimated about $60e0 There was a heavy wind blowing at the time and it was -with difficulty that the house was saved as large pieces from the burning barn were carried to the house. The heavy downpour of rain assisted in saving the house. A large crowd of neigh- bors were soon on the sceue of the fire, the roadway being-, lined with rigs and cars. • • E. M. Arnistrang, C. E.
