J.F.DALY Jeweler and Optician. Death of Mrs. Iludsom-Another of the old residents of Seaforth, has been called home. Mrs. George Hudson f for many years a reapected resident of Sea - forth, died at the home of her nephew's Messrs. Alexander and George Lowery, 4 in McKillop, on Saturday. Vire. Red - son had reached the age of 75 years and two months. Her husband prede- ceased her several years. The decea.sedts maiden name was Elizabeth Lewery. She was a sister of the late $oseph Lowrey. Sh'e had not enjoyed rebust health for some time and her death was not unexpected. She was a most exemplary, good -living woman and was held in high esteem by those who kne_w her best.The funeral took place on Monday and the remains were laid to rest in Maitlandbank Cemetery. The Seaforth Flax Mills. -As will be seen by ta notic,e in another column the Seaforth Flax fills, which have been silent for some time, are to be ,put in operation at once. The mills will )3e _ operated by the company that owns them. Mr. Perrin, the manager,. will • be lore shortly and will make contracte for land for spring •sowing. The mills -will also be put in operation very short- 1 ly to manufacture the flax on hand of which there are two or three seasons' crops. This will give employment throughout the season to a goodly ; number of work people. With the Flax Mill, the Bell Engine Works and the Furniture factory fully employed, as we hope they $oon wlll be, business in town will revive, Work will become more plentiful, money will circulate and we may fairly look forward to a busy and prosperous summer ,and fall. 1.

There is no doubt,but the dog that was killed in liarpurhey, a few weeks ago, was afflicted by rab- ies. A dog owned in town that had been bitten by this dog went mad thls week and, had to be ,destroyed.

Choral Concert. -The second concert by the Seaforth Choral Society under the direction of Mr. N. It Nixon, was held in Cardnots Opera House 'on Tues- day evening. There was a fair audi- ence but not nearly so large as the merits of the entertainment deserved. The entertainment was fully up, to the expectations of the most sanguine and If we could judge by the spontaneous and hearty encores, was highly pleas- ing to the audience. The ehoruses by the society were well selected and de- lightfully rendered and displayed, in a marked degree careful training on the part of the director and good musical ability on the part of the class. The solos by Mr. W. T.Hays and Mr. George Israel were well rendered and most -pleasing to the audience, while the piano duet by Miss Isabel Scott and Mr. Nixon showed musical ability of a high order. Mr. Robert* Hannah, of London, the elobationist of the even- ing, did mbre than sastain the excel- lent reputation he made for himself here it ehe previous entertainment.
