charm and usefulness and her passing
is a keen loss to the community, as
well as to her immediate family, She
was for years organist in Union
church, as well as a teacher in the
Sunday school and a worker in the
W.M.S. Her husband, her mother
and one sister' survive. The fu-
neral took place to Maitland ceme-
tery • on Sunday week, the services
at the house and graveside being con-
ducted by the Rev. James Hamilton,

Quite a lot of wreckage has been
picked up by steamers calling at this
port and it is supposed to belong to
the Clifton, which it is feared was
wrecked in the storm of over a week
ago. But so far nothing has been
. found that would definitely confirm
the fear. The Gleneairn ran into
some wreckage on Saturday about
seventy-five miles northwest of here
and cruised about for a couple of
hours looking for any sign of bodies
or of small boats. None were seen,
however. It is feared that the boat
with its crew of twenty-eight are lost.
COLBORNE TOWNSHIP FARMER
SUFFERS UNUSUAL
MISFORTUNE
• A bad accident •occurred at Nile on
Saturday week when Mr. G. D.
Curry's granary floor collapsed with
the weight of grain and dumped the
whole contents into the stable below.
Three cattle, which were in the sta-
ble, were smothered and much of
the grain will be lost, as much of it
was dumped over manure and all
sorts of grain were mixed up. The
loss to Mr. Curry will be very heavy.
Threshing had taken place on the
Friday before and the grain all neat..
ly stored in bins. Everybody has been
smiling_ over the fine yield of grain
this season but in this case a smaller
yield would have been more profitable
to the farrier.
