The many friends of Mrs, John Jackson, Mrs. Andrews and Miss Johns of town will much regret to learn of the ravages which death has committed in the home of their broth- er, Mr. Fred. Johns of New Ontario. Death first claimed his son, a young man of only twenty eight years of age. Twodays later Mrs. Johns was called away and the following morn- ing their daughter, aged twenty four, departed this life. La grippe was the cause of death in each case. THE PROVINCIAL OUTLOOK. '' Two Knights of the Grip," both of whom say they carets nothing for politics, were talking td' a Ham- ilton newspaper man when the scribe asked how the election was going, Both said that the general opinion all over the province is that there is go- ing to be a change, and that Whitney was a sure winner. Asked as to how they got their opinion one said " I hear it on the cars every day and amongst the travellers at the hotels. Travellers, as a rule, you know, are not politicians, because it would not pay, as we have to deal with both aides, Whitney's manly speech on the referendum settled it." The other said : " The scandalshave done a lot of harm to the Government ; but the people want a change. You will never live to see a government in pow- er again for over thirty years.
