EARLY DEM1$E,-A. wave of sorrow
passed over the village Monday morn-
ing when it became known that May,
only daughter of John and • Mrs.
Brethauer, had pissed away, at the
age of 23 sears. Although death was
not unexpected, coming after a pro-
longed illness, the realization came as
shock all who knew her. While
ns o e t av e.
her sufferings at times were intense,
she bore them all with Christian for-
titude. May was of a cheerful dis-
position and will be greatly missed,
especially in the Sunday School,
where she had been organist for a
number of years. Her early demise
is deeply regretted by old and young
and sincerest sympathy is expressed
for the bereaved parents. The funer-
al took plane on Wednesday afternoon
service being meditated by Rev. A.
Love, in the Methodist church, inter-
ment following aftet in the Wroxe-
ter cemetery. Among the floral Leib-
utes were wreaths horn the Metho-
dist Sunday school and from the
young people of the village.

AN OPEN LETTER TO
POSTMASTER SCOTT
F. S. Score, Brussels. -
Regarding vour letter in last week's
POST, your statements are incorrect.
I have to Bear of the first parcel sent
by express through me to England
that has not been delivered, while I
can give the names of several who
have sent by mail that were not de-
livered. We Express people, have
carried tons of Red Cross stuff free.
How many pounds has the mail car-
riedv
free . None. The
Express Co.
employees have been loyal in contri-
buting to the Patriotic cause just as
much as you and perhaps more, yet
you have tate audacity to try and dis-
parage the Express. Now Sir, it
would be better for you to attend to
your business that you get. I am
sending you one copy. I will give
another to Mr. Kerr to publish in
THE Posr and keep one. Now if you
don't want it published then ask Mr.
Kerr to refrain, 1 will pay hien to
put it in. Yours, &e.
