BARROWS CALLED To HER REWARD.—In the early morning of Sunday, the 20th day of July, the band of death was laid upon one of the most loved and respected of Ern - fold's citizens, in the person of the late Miss R. Barrows. About a year ago, symptoms warned her that all was not right, and she was taken to Mayo institute in Rochester for ex- amination, which revealed a condition so serious as to preclude the possebil- ity of an operation, Mies Barrows returned to her home at Ernfold, Sask., and from that date to the time of death had demonetrat ed a most remarkable degree of forti- tude, courage, patience and faith. which has left a lasting impress on the community at large. Mre. J, M, Atkinson, Milk River, Alta., was in attendance for a number of weeks, and as the end approached, the family circle was completed by the arrival of Simeon and George Barrows from Alberta, all being present at the bed- side until the last. On Tuesday, the 22nd, a short service of; prayer was held at the residence, by Rev. W, G. Challis, before the remains were tak- en to the Ernfold Church at 8.15 p. m. where the community joined in paying their last respects to one wholhad for the past 14 years bent every effort to the bettering of condi- tions. Church was decorated by a mase of ilowere banked about the photo and charter of the J. 0. Y. class, which Miss Barrows • had or- ganized and led for years, until her health failed, The re -united members of this scattered organization formed the choir, and rendered several of the specially chosen favorites of the de ceased. Burial was made in the Morse Cemetery. Mise Barrows was born in Ueborne Township, County of Huron, Ontario, in the year 1870, the daughter of the late Simeon and Sarah Barrows, Walton, Ont. She leaves to mourn her lose 3 brothers, Simeon, Warner, Alta, - and George, Milk - river, Alta., and John, Ernfold, and a slater, Mrs, J. M. Atkinson, Milk River, Atta. At the age of 18 Miss Barrows, togthor with her father and mother, a brother and sister, joined the Methodiet church at Walton, Ontario, under the pastorate of the late Rev. Wnt. Torrance. She had since that time until culled home led a consistent, and helpful Christian life, which has left ite impress for good on every locality that has been favored by claiming her as a citizen, In I903 she moved to the West to keep bowie for her brother and had continued to do so mail failing health forbade it. She transferred Iter church membership from Walton to Wesley Ohureh, near Moose Jaw, and here it was again traueferred to Morse in 1910, Mies Barrows has been one of the main stays and a most active iuetrument, in the building ftp of the cause she loved at Ernfold. She was cue of the first teachere in Ernfold Sunday School, and later organized the toting Ladies of the district into the 3, 0. Y. class, and acted as leader for same uutil her health failed. Lat. er ehe acted as Missionary Superine Cendant for the Sunday School to the groat advantage of 011ie branch of the work. When too weak to occupy any official position longer she stili con- I . funned to atCend until almost Oho last, insieting on being brought to the see - sirens, in her invalid chair the host few times, where rhe joined in the diecussione and in her weakness prov- ed a very pillar of strength, to all who were privileged to see andd listen to her, tett of her wondrous experience in answer to prayer. Probably no life that has ever touched this district will leave a more lasting benefit than that of the late Miss Barrows, Bad Accident mi C. P. R. 2 Men lose Their lives On Sunday afternoon of last week an Eastbound 0, P. R. freight train went astray near McNaught Station when a car left the track followed by 8 others.

Several of the cave contained wheat, oats, flour and salt, and as a result grain flour salt and debris was scattered in all directions. The cause of tine acci- dent as given out by the officials of the company was a broken rail, Robert Gray, West. Toronto, was instantly killed, and Thomas Ash- down, also of West Toronto, received serious injuries to bis head, hie skull probably fraotured,in an accident to 0, P, R. auxiliary crew near Me - Naught, on the Guelph and Goderich line at 7.50 Sunday morning.
