noon Eliza Hunter, beloved' wife of
Robert Bowes, East boundary, died

year and leaves her husband and two
little daughters to mourn her de-
mise, The deceased had been the
subject of considerable sorrow, her

haps the first cause of Mrs. Bowes' de-
mise, The funeral took place on Tues-
day to Eima Centre cemetery. Rev.

pastor, and Rev. Mr. McVicar, of At-

a few hours with them before they

tot. During the evening a presenta-
tion address was read, when two
banilsome chairs were given to Mr.
and Mrs. Kirkeonnell who, in a few
well chosen sentences thanked all
present for the tokens of kindness and
the good will so expressed. Mr. Kirk -
cannel' has been an honored citizen of
the 13111 con. of Hullett, for the past
17 years, and he and his family will be
much hissed by all. Here's wishing
him snecess in his new home. The
