Officials of the passenger service

any Christmas rates will be offered
this year. It is possible that there
may be further cancellation of trains
if the coal strike situation does not
improve.
Coal Delivered In Small Lots
The surplus supply of soft coal the
town had stored in the rink since last
year, is now being delivered in 500
pound lots so as to help out those who
have not been able to secure hard coal.
People should conserve their coal as
much as possible as the county is worse

Funeral Held Friday
The funeral of the late Murray Jack-
son was held on Friday afternoon and
the services at the home of Mr, William
Jackson and.at the graveside were con-
ducted by Rev, J. E. Hogg, of Willis
'Church. The pallbearers were:—
Messrs. H. T, Rance, J. Wiseman, C. F.
Libby, A. J. Morrish, A. J. Holloway
and B. J. Gibings. The following ap-
peared in last week's Welland Tele-
graph from the Port Colborne corres-
pondent. The shock of death has
seldom been so painfully felt in Port
Colborne as when it was announced on
Tuesday morning that M. D. Jackson
had suscuinbed to an attack of typhoid
fever which seized him but a week ear-
lier. It was not that he was an old
resident of the town, for he had resided
here for but -two years, but he was so
well known, so highly esteemed, and so
popular that the news of his death'was
a message of real sadness to a very
large circle. He was a young man
(in his 28th year) of excellent charac-
ter and fine abilities, Mrs, Jackson
who was a native of Frederickton, N.
B., had lived here since their marriage
a year and a half ago, and the home
that is now left desolate was one of
the most complete and happy, bright-
ened as it was by a baby girl, now
until he was fifteen years of age. Coin-
ing towith his Canada da parents, lie set-
tled near Kincardine, and in 1866 mar-

he celebrated his Golden Wedding four
years ago. They were pioneer farmers
in Bruce County but cane to Clinton

was employed by the late Mr. Mc Tag-
gart and continued in the employ of
Mrs. McTaggart for over thirty years.
