Ross PAYS NATURE'S DEBT. -It was an occasion of deep regret to many iu Brussels to hear of the ds- oease of a former resident of town in the person of Mra, R. K. Ross, who depart. ed this life for the Better Life at Listo wel on Tuesday. Her death was not a surprise as she had been a victim of au insiduous enemy-eancer,-for which she underwent several operations and al- though benefitted for a time the decease Was too deeply seated to destroy it, 24 yearsagodeceased, whose namewas Mar C. ie, of Listowel, was united in Miele, l marr age to her bereft partner and for nearly zo years they made their home in Brussels, removing from here to Listo- Wel in 1904, after Mr, Ross' flour mill was destroyed by fire, wheu he bought a hardware business. In addition to Mr, Ross a daughter, (Miss Georgie) and a son, (Austin C.) survive. Mrs. Ross was beloved by a wide circle of friends and deservedly so as she possessed many womanly traits of character that trade her a favorite. In church relation- ship she was a faithful member of the Presbyterian church and found the preoionsness of the companionship of the Friend thiit sttoketb closer than a brother through trying hours of pain and discouragement. The funeral took place on 'Phersday afternoon to Listowel cemetery. Several of our townspeople were in attendance showing their esteem for oue so Worthy of it. Mr. Ross and family may rest assured of the deep sympathy of the entire nom- rnuuity. Mrs Ross was 45 years of age end was a true wife ail indulgent mother and akied neighbor. W,'PRYNE & Sort received a car of Manitoba wheat to be utilized in their flour mill. '•THE Old Maids' Return" was pre. seated by a Brussels company at Walton on Thursday evening of last week.

Y. P. A. in the Town Hall Brussels, Tuesday evening of last week, was an extra good one and despite threatening weather attracted a large audience. First part of program was wholly taken by Misses Cole, of Ethel, and Miss Mc$essock of Owen Sound, in elocution and song. Miss Coie, who is a graduate of Alma Ladies' Col- lege, St, Thomas. early found favor with the audience and she was repeated• ly encored. Her numbers included the grave and the gay and were presented with clearness and ease. She will be welcomed back again. This was Miss McKessock's first appearance in Brussels and her selections showed good taste. Her repertoire included a wide range of solos, all well sung, and grew better as the evening advanced. She responded with "Annie Laurie" as an encore to her last song There is no fuss nor flourish of trumpets in Miss McKessock's stage work which is a very pleasingfeature. She sings well end her enunciation is first-class. At Alma Col- lege she was a medalist in vocal music. "The Old Maid's return," which included a couple of dozen of performers, gave ample opportunity for many a good laugh, Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these nor coule Joseph's coat be compared to the gorgeousness of color in the costumes. Paris and New York fashions were discounted and caterers of mil- linery, dress and mantle making had abundant opportunity ot securing the new styles. Che musical production in chorus and orchestra beat anything we ever heard, special attention centering on the trombonist. All did their part excellently and a good number shone in the representation of characters personated. The trio "And the Maids creme back given by the three maids and the children's chorus was neatly done and Prof Dinkenspeil sang a good solo, We subjoin the names of the performers and the characters represent- ed :-Mrs. W.
