She was a woman of great 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.

It is improving now, however, all danger of blood -poison- ing being past, it is hoped. .Anniversary services were held at Sharon church on Sunday.

Codericid 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.
