McKillop
THE LATE MRs. Dorms,—Last week
we made reference to the death of
Mrs. Thomas Dodds; of McKillop, who
died recently and whose maiden
name was Mary Beattie Armstrong.
She reached the good age of 85 years
and 4 months. The late Mrs. Dodds
was a native of Ruxboro'shire, Scot-
land, and left the old land us a bride,
being married to her late husband on
the 24th of May, 64 years ago, at the
age of 21 years. They left the next
day on their honeymoon trip to Can-
ada, settling first in McKillop. For
the Rest five years they lived of a
farm on the Oth con.. then moving to
lot 80, cot. 7, ou which she continued
to reside until her death. That part
of the township was then newly set-
tled and mostly a wilderness. The de-
ceased bore bravely the hardships and
privations •incident to pioneer, life,
and did her part well in helping to
convert the bush farm into a comfort-
able and prosperous homestead. Her
husband died,r,'little over 7 years ago.
Mrs. Dodds had been in failing health
for the past two years. .A. year ago
she was confined to the house most of
the Summer, but she rallied again and
was able once more to attend church
during the Winter months, a place,
despite all kinds of weather, in which
she was always present when. her
health permitted, to meet her pastor
and the people of Cavan church, of
which she had been a valued member
almost eve' since its formation, being
a member of Rev, iter. Ban's church
in Hat•perhey before that. The last
time she was to church was in March,
after which she took a severe cold,
followed by heart trouble, of which
she was a severe sufferer, never being
able to lie down, and passed away as
if falling asleep, as one , that wee

Niagara Fails Team Champions
Last Friday Brussels Foot Ball team
left here at 7,a. m, euraute to Niagara
Falls to play the "Oolohials" of that
place but did not arrive at their desti-
nation until about 4 p. m. This was
a poor preparation to tackle a hustling
eleven in their own town and on
strange: ground to the visitors. A
big score was run up in the 14 home
play which stood 6 to Niagara and 8
for Brussels, thusgiving the Eastern-
ers a strong lead in the quest for the
championship of Western Ontario,
11..A. Brown. of Berlin, refereed the
game, which passed by without any
noticeable features, both teams push-
ing hard for the ascendancy.
Tuesday evening the return match
was played on Victoria Park, Brussels,
before the largest company of specta-
tors attending any former game this
Beason, the neighboring towns, vil-
lages and countryside being well rep-
resented. Ground was iu good shape
and shortly after 5 p. m. Referee
Brown blew the whistle announciug
the commencement of the play. It
was expected that a strenuous game
would be the result of the contest and
no one was disappointed in this.
The disparity supposed to exist be.
tween the teams by some, judging by
the former aeon, was not evidenced.
Despite the onrush of pouting athletes
in which many a neat combination
was put on ; sometimes heavy check-
ing done, fleetness of foot exhibited
and head work, both mental and
physical practiced, half time arrived
without advantage to either side.
number of close shaves toward scor-
ing were on the program but as
"close" did- not count the figures of
the,. former battle still stood, 6.3
against Brussels.
It was now onto evident such a
lead could opt be overcome but tete
pace in the Second half did not relax
but tate noble defenders' on both sides
bade defiance to the hottest attacks
and after a see -sawing struggle the
play came to an end minus u, score,
the "Colonials" winning the Tankard
by Friday's advantage,

be proud of the quality of ball put up
by their representatives who so sturdi-
ly contended for the honor, Our lads
deserve credit for the season's work as
some pessamists averred they would
never see the second round, but one

has had the championship more
frequently than any other team for
the past 10 years and gave it a hard -
run in 1912. The management of the
team was excellent in the past season
and all business affairs will be cleared
up without a deficit. Tan PosT ex-
presses the good will of the public to
the boys in their endeavor to keep
Brussels to the, front.

HE'S A WONDER
Naturally enough, the wonder of
Use ovout is the Dungannon prodigy.
Re is Ralph Disher, son of Adam
Dishes, .miller, of Dungannon. He is
not mere than fifteen, if he is that
old, and he is small for his age. To
look at hint you marvel that Such a
little fellow can handle such a big
gun. When he is not plugging the
target, he is helping his father in the
chopping mill.
Hoe are his individual scores for
the first two days
City of Hamilton match, :34: out of:
85.
City of Toronto, 62 out of 70.
Osler, 46 out of 50,
yaExrds.tra series, 8 bullseyes at 800
He shoots with the Dungannon
team, which is Capturing both. glory ,
and gold,: and he enters every avail-
able olass. Not being a soldier boy,
this "bloomin' little reoruity" is bar-
red from the unifoxlned events, but
he appears at .the treasurer's desk
every little while, and when his con-
tingout leaves for home somebody'
may find it necessary to help him
carry his winninge. •
