Scott, returned with the remains last Friday. Mr, Robt. Shaw conducted the sm.- vice in Victoria Ball last Sunday, even- ing and is expected for next Sunday evening also. Jas, Cutt jr*., and sister Christina of Blyth also Joe Coombe, jr., visited over Sunday at the latter's home. They also attended the funeral of the late Alex, Scott on Sunday,. The Sunday School which regularly meets in Victoria Hall on Sunday afternoons was dispensed with last Sunday in order to allow the scholars to attend the late A. Scott's funeral, Deceased attended the Sabbath School regularly prior to his going west. It is with deepest regret that we are called upon this week to chronicle the death of the late Alex. Scott of Saska- toon, Man. Deceased, who was mar- ried hast spring went out west a short time afterwards and took up his abode in Saskatoon until he could get a suit- able farm. Everything seemed to go along smoothly g s iqc rtl Fly and well until about four weeks ago when his parents, who live at Morrisbank, received a message saying that he was very ill with some thing like appendicitis but afterwards proved to be an abeess. His mother then left immediately for Saskatoon and soon after she arrived the doctors deemed it wise to perform au opera- tion which was done quite successful- ly they thought, but:afterwards blood poison set in and all efforts to save his life were vain. He passed peacefully away on Monday, Nov. 21st, and his bereaved wife and mother started for hone with the body and arrived hero Friday night. The funeral took place from his father's, Peter Scott, and was very largely attended indeed. Rev. Mr. Wost, of Bluevale, conduct - the funeral service. The bereaved wife, parents, brothers and sisters have the deepest sympathy of the community in their sad hour of afflic- tion. (Too late for last issue) Rumor says that there is to be a wedding in the near future and also that Jamestown will furnish both bride and groom. Mr. Fred.

Gaunt, to listen to the following address: - To Mr. and Mrs. McDonald - On being informed that you have sold your property, and are about to leave our village, we, a few of your friends and acquaintances, would wish to be remembered by you when proba- bly far away from us, as during your stay with us in the position you have held, we have always found you cour- teous, kind and agreeable to the ex- treme, and we feel that on losing you as our host and hostess we are losing kind neighbors and friends. You will please accept these few words as' a token of friendship towards you, and we trust and hope that wherever you may cast your lot you will meet with other kind friends, and that your re- moval from among us will be to your gain. You will please accept this small purse as a token of the esteem which we have held of you since you came to live in our midst. Signed on behalf of a large gathering of friends, Dan McIntosh, A.

A bad and unfortunate accident happened about 200 yards north of Myth station on Thursday evening. Whenythe evening train from the south arrived, Mr. R. Sellars' horse and dray left their accustomed place in the station yard. and started up the track ahead of the train unnoticed by anyone.

A horse belonging to Robt, Craig, of Morris, ran away while approaching Blyth from the north, on Tuesday afternoon. It freed itself from the buggy and dashed along Queen street south to the Hullett boundary where it became entanled in the barb wire fence in front of -Messrs. Fraser & Lo- gan's o- garis brickyard. Mrs. Craig was thrown from the buggy and seriously hurt. The horse received several bad cuts and wounds when it collided with the fence.

Mrs. Bolger was one of the oldest and best known lady residents of Morris, and her death will be sincerely felt by a large circle of friends. She was a de- voted member of St. John's church, Brussels, and by her many kindly acts and Christian character did much to endear herself, to all. She was 66 years of age and leaves besides her husband, a family of six sons and four daughters to mourn the loss of a lov- ing wife and mother. Grey.
