Stratford Beacon -Herald .had the fol-
lowing regarding. tate death of Mrs.
Burgess, which occurred on Sunday.
Mr. Burgess' friends in Clinton will
sympathize with him bereave-
ment;
It is doubtful whether there ever
was a nlueh `sadder home in this town
or conitnunity than that of W. W.:Bur-
gess, at the present time. His daugh-
ter (Muriel) 1. 1VIrs,'''erg. Buck; who

ago Mrs. Burgess,, her grandmother,
who had been nursing her, took
pleureepneumonia, , and - en Sunday
morning at about •'twenty minutes to
six :o'clock she passed 'away. During
her illness Mrs. Burgess was 011,110-
tered to with loving solicitude by a
trained nurse, her husband and
daughter, Irene, and .other relatives
and friends, The late Mrs, Burgess
had not only performed the faithful
duties e.f a mother,to her own children,
but that responsibility also fell on her,
to a great °extent, in, caring. for her
three grandchildren.
Mrs. Burgess (Nettie Thorne) was
the youngest of the family' of the late
Mr, and Mss.. William Thorne. She
was . born in : Mitchell and had: lived
there all her life. The deceased :won,
an will leave to mourn their lass her
husband,, two daughters and- one 'son,

Macklin. Five brothers and two sis-
ter's also survive' William H,, Eg-

ley ley township one day last, week,
Young Connell and his brother' were

done to frighten then away.
ST. JOSEPH'S SOCIAL.

not be present to furnish music. Into
the ,breach, however; came Prof. And=

accustomed to dance playing, offered
his help and ina few minutes rein-

DEATH OF ISAAC JACKSON.
Awll-
e kfiew former rxn
er
-resident de rt of
Clinton massed away at the 'home of
his son in Hensall on Friday last in
the person of Mr. Isaac Jackson, who
was in his ninety-sixth year,
Mr. Jackson was a native of`Eng-
latid but came to this Continent in
1855, first settling. at Rochester. A
few' years later, he came to Clinton
where other members of his family
had settled. Here he livedor many;
years, acting as village constable, tax
collector and he it ,was who looked
after the building of some of Clinton's
first sidewalks. Ile only left when
his son moved, first to Goderich and.
later to Hensall, 'some fouror five
years ago. .
Mr, Jackson was twice married but
for some years he had been a widow-
er. He is survived by six, sons: John.
and Alfred of Winnipeg; William of
Brandon; ;Harry of Calgary; Howard.
of Chicago,_,and Ernest of Hensall,
with whom he made his -home, and
four daughters: Minnie, who has'
made her home in England since her
childhood; Florence, Mrs. Germaine,,
of. Portland, Oregon; Lillian; Mrs.
Hyslop, Detroit and -Edna, Mrs. Peel,
Buffalo., ` The two latter, . with •their'
husbands, ':and` Mr. Ernest:, Jackson
were here for the funeral on Monday.
Mr. Jackson had :reached a voner-
ab"le age;` and for some months had
been failing, but he retained his alert
carriage "and the use of his faculties
almost to the end.' Before Ieaving
Clinton itwas often remarked how
alert of step he was and how sltraight:
and erectly' he carried himself. Ho,
wearied, however, and expressed a .do.
sire to go before the end came.
The remains were hrought to Clin-
ton for interment, the funeral tilting.

A tablet to the memory of the boys
of Wesley church who fell in the
Great War or who died as a ,wolf of
their service, was unveiledin the

onn
Su day evening last The
tabletcontains
the ins
t e followin names:

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE.
It pays to advertise. A couple of.
weeks ago Mr. J. B. Lavis advertised
for a horse which had strayed away
from his „place in town. Last Sethi.. "-
day he got word that the animal was
being eared for up near Blythand
he went up and brought- him' home:
It came' about this way. A couple aI
people went to make an evening call
on someneighbors and during the call
mention was made by one party of
the fact that a ,horse was being'. ad-
vertised in, --The News -Record. ' The,
..other party then remembered that
The Blyth Standard was 'advertising
a horse which had strayed to the
premises of a fernier . They put two'
and togetheret
he, and deckled that'it
wasne a hsame
o n thehorse, and
d Mir.
Lavis was notified. So it will be seen
that -if there is anything better than
advertising . in one newspaper, it is
advertising ho two. -
