Rev. L. W. Diehl came all the way
from Ailsia Craig at great inconven-
ience and expense to officiate at the
funeral of the late Mrs. Eleanor Hodg-
son.
Mrs. Eleanor Hodgson, relict of the
late Thomas Hodgson of Hullett, died
at the residence of her nephew—G. M.
Kilty—here on Friday, the 21st inst.,
shortly after the clock had struck the
hour of midnight, atlhe ripe old age of
91 years. The deceased was a native
of County Antrim, Ireland, and carne
to this country over 60 years ago. She
lived with her parents for 5 years in
Lower Canada, near English River,
and then they all moved up to the
Huron Tract and settled on the farm
now owned by Mr. Tiplady, previously
owned by Mr.-Samnel Archer. After
her marriage she lived at the mill at
Egmondville for some time and after-
wards she and her husband settled on
the farm on the 3rd con. of Hullett,
where she lived np to within a few
weeks of her death. She had ne chil-
dren. During - her husband's life and
for many years after her house was
open to all in need of food or shelter
and the Missionaries of those bygone
days always received a cordial welcome.
She was quiet and unassuming, but
was open-hearted always to all in geed.
During her long life and particularly
during the past 30 years she cast self
aside as it were and lived for others.
Her greatest happiness was found in
doing good and when a few days ago
she breathed her last as noble, gener-
ous and kind a heart, as ever pulsated
in purely human breast was stilled.
She died full of faith in Christ as her
Savior and bore her sufferings with'
true Christian fortitude. The only
surviving members of the family now
Are Mr. John Kilty, of Hullett, and
Mrs. Andrew Cook, of Waverly,
Nebraska. The funeral took place on
Saturday, the 22nd inst., and over 70
vehicles followed her remains to their
last resting place. As was truly said
by the minister during the burial cere-
mony, "She was loved most by those
who knew her hest," thus testifying to
her sterling worth. She was respected
while living and honored when dead.
May her life be a lesson to us all in this
age of selfishness.

There are few men better known In
Victoria county than Mr. TtidutrdFitz
gerald, who wes one of the first settlers
of the township of Omelets. fie Was
elected to the honorable position of
reeve of that township for twelve suc-
cessive years, and tilled the position
with so Much acceptance to the people
that he was pressed to continue in of-
fice for a longer time, but was com-
pelled to decline the hbnor. It there-
fore goes without saying that Mr. Fitz-
gerald is nut only known to all the
residents of the township, but that his
word is considered. by those who know
hineto be as good as his bond, and that
upon anything he may say the most
explicit confidence may be placed.
When young, :a stronger or more
hearty man could not be found. but
possessed of an iron constitution, he did
what too many are prone to do, neg-
lected his health and exposed himself
to all sorts of weather, often in the pur-
suit of his calling as a farmer being wet
to the skin for hours at a time. A little
over 17 years ago ho found that he had
contracted rheumatism of a muscular
form and each succeeding day found
him in a worse condition. He applied
to the local doctors in his neighborhood
but received no relief, and was then in-
duced by there to apply for admission
to the general hospital at Toronto for
treatment end was in that institution
for several months, until he became
dishjeartened at the want of success at-
tending his treatment and , returned
home, as was thought, to die. By this
time the muscles of iris body had become
so contracted that be could not
straighten his limbs, and was forced to
spend the greater part of his time in
bed, and when able to get around at all
it was only with the aid of a stout pair
of crntches. When he attempted to
raise to his feet his legs would crack at
the knees like sticks of wood, caused as
the doctors told him, by the fluid in
thejoints being eompletely dried up.
He was constipated to a fearful degree.
When he retired at night there was
not sufficient blood in his veins to keep
him from feeling intensely cold, and in
order to keep him warm his daughter
knitted him woolen leggings and lined
then, with soft wool. Several times
his fainily, a portion of whom reside in

man, and at a time When he had not
set his foot on the ground for a year,
he was indnced by his son to give 13r.
Williams' Pink Pills a trial, ag be had
heard of the many remarkable Cili'%5
made by that remedy. It was after
much persuasion that he was induced
to give them a trial; as he had then
spent a small fortune in medicines
and different modes of treatment under
which he had steadily grown worse,
and he had despaired of finding any-
thing that would help him. At last he
began the use of the Pink Pills and had
not taken them long before he began
to notice a decided improvement in his
condition. Continuing their use he
found he could get around much better
than he had been able to do at any time
for many years. and after a still further
use of Pink Pills he was entirely re-
lieved from all rheumatic pains, and is
-now a wonder to himself and all who
knew hire. Mr. Fitzgerald is now 70
years of age, is able to walk to Kirk
field every day, and is enjoying better
health than he has had since he was
first affected.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills area perfect
blood builder and nerve restorer, cur-
ing such diseases as rheumatism,
neula'gia, partial paralysis, locomotor
ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, nervous head-
ache, nervous prostration and the tired
feeling therefrom, the after effects of lit
grippe, diseases depending upon
humors in the blood, such as scrofula,
chronic erysipelas, etc. Pink Pills give
a healthy glow to pale and sallow com-
plexions, and are a specific for troubles
pecular to the female systern, and in
the case of men they effect ti radical
cure in all cases arising from mental
worry, overwork or excesses of any
nature.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills may be had
of all druggists, ordirert ny mail from
Dr. Williams' Medicine Company,
Brockville, Ontario, or Schenectady, N.
Y., at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for
$2.50. The price at which these pills
are sold makes a course of treatment
comparatively inexpensiveas compared
with other remedies or medical treat-
ment.
Murder at Lucknow.
ALEX. FRASER ARRESTED ON TRX
CHARGE OF HAVING CAUSED THE
DEATH OF HIS SISTER.
On Tuesday, Dec. 18th, Mrs. Robt.
Elder, who lived in the south-west part
of the town of Lucknow, died under
suspicious circumstances. She was an
elderly widow woman, and lived with
her brother, Alex. Fraser; and neither
were very good characters. The house
has been the resort of a number of
fellows who do not carry a very good
reputation and for some months past
the house has been the scene of some
noisy quarrels at night, much to the
annoyance of the neighbors. Fraser
is said to have been in the habit of
illtreating his sister in his drunken
sprees by beating her. Coroner .Dr.
Gordon• was notified of the death, and
on visiting the place decided to hold an
inquest.
On Tuesday night a.ury was sum-
moned and sworn in, and after viewing
the remains adjourned till Thursday.
On Wednesday Drs. Tennant and
Garnier made a post mortem examina-
tion of the body and found the right
arm broken and terribly bruised from
the wrist to the shoulder; also some
marks on the head.
The inquest was continued Thursday
afternoon, when a large number of
witnesses were examined. The taking
of evidence was finished at 10 o'clock,
and the jury rendered a verdict that
Mrs. Elder's death was caused by Alex.
Fraser. Fraser' was brought before
Magistrates Lyons and Lawrence :in
the afternoon, and committed for trial
at Walkerton.

THE NEWS -RECORD
ONLY _
or years, there has been cutting and slashing in the 'news -
MEM business. This hour, after long consideration, we
have 'decided to, run our business a little different as to
subscriptions. THE NEWS -RECORD is well worth $1.50 a
year in advance. it readily commands our past price,
$1.25 a year. The price hereafter will be
si
STRICTLY IN ADVANCE.
This is "cutting to the bone," and shrewd readers will take
advantage of our offer and become subscribers at once.
All overdue subscriptions must be paid at the
rate of $1.50 a year after the 1st of February,
1895 Up to that date we will accept 81.25 a.,
year for back subscriptions and all unpaid ac,
counts at that date will be placed in Court for
collection at 81,50 a year.
Agents in every locality will be allowed the usual commission
on NEW subscribers, but 011 OLD subscribers'., only, the
actual cost for correspondence and in remitting',money.
Few papers in the Province give as much space to local•mat
ters or spend as much money on a purely home p`roduic-
tion as does TIIE NEWS -RECORD. At $1 a year pee*
might just as well ask us to live without eating as ten*
for credit. The price is positively $1 IN ADVANCE. ` • ';
The business of the Dominion is coming to "cash and one
price," and THE NEWS -RECORD expects to soon adopt. the
cash in advance principle. To those who cannot pay the
small sum of $1 a year in advance for a home produc-
tion like THE NEws-REcoltD, and honestly acknowledge
the corn, should have the paper a whole year free, .
During the year 1805 THE NEWS -RECORD will be better than
ever Every department and every line will be of inter-
est. The "Cut to the Hone" price of $1 strictly in adv-
ance will not make any other change. THE NEWS -RE-
CORD will continue to be as good as e'v'er.
Delinquents are now on an equal footing.
There will in future be one law for all, and the CASH-IN-ADVAN E
payers will have the best of it.
