Which sad event took plate on Friday
morning last. Deceased had not been
in rugged health for some years, but
was usually going about and always�
cheerful. A short time ago she con-
tracted double pneumonia, and, al-
though the best medical skill and
careful nursing was provided, she
could not be saved. She was a re-
markably kind-hearted and compan-
ionable woman and will he much
missed in the community. She was
the'only living child of Mr. and Mrs.
.lames Martin and was horn on the
Leadbury Line, later moving to the
lath line. Besides her parents and
husband she leaves one daughter,
Miss Mary Ellen, and for live the
most tender and heartfelt syri<tpathp
is manifested at this time of their
great sorrow and bereavement. The
funeral was largely attended, inter-
ment taking place in the Roman Cath-
olic cemetery.

Field Day at
Dublin
High School, -
F riduy, the 20th inst., was a gala
day for the students attending the
High School, and the bright October
afternoon was made doubly so by the
flaunting of the school colors, purple
and geld, and was still further in-
creased by the enthusiasm displayed
by the young people in their annual
field -day sports. The following was
the programme: Girls - Baseball

exercise was probably the most in-
teresting number on the programme,
for both teams were so well balanced
that it put the mettle of each to a
close test to uphold its credit, and af-
ter a protracted struggle Joe Feeney
succeeded in pulling his men to vic-
tory. Those who won the highest
number of first prizes were: Girls -
Helena Flannery, Evelyn Delaney

prize, donated by Rev. Father Mc
Cardle, was drawn for by these suc
cessful competitors of the day's
