LAID AT REST. -on Sunday even- ing last, after a long and painful ill- ness of over eleven weeks, one of our nmst esteemed residents, in the person of Mr. James Willis, was called away to his long home, in the 74th year of his age. His illness was of long dur- ation, and at times it was hoped be might still survive, then again it was feared the end must come, but with most remarkable vitality he lingered on the brink until his life slowly ebb- ed away. Mr. Willis was rtnative of the north of Ireland, and carne to this couutry with his parents, when but a child. He was married itt Goderich to Miss Eliza Robertson: of that place, thirty-two years ago, last March, who with -three sons, George and Will, at home, and Frank, in Forest, mourn the loss of a kind, affectionate hus- band acd indulgent parent. Deceased came`to Exeter from London, twenty- eight years ago, where he had been in the lumber business for three years, and started in the same line here, which business has been successfully managed by himself, and more recent- ly under the management of James Willis & Son. He was industrious, shrewd and careful, and possessed iu an eminent degree. the qualities, which almost invariably bring success in this life, Personally he was a very quiet man, and lived much within himself, but was well versed on many subjects, being an ardent reader. He .vas au adherent of the Methodist church, and an attentive listener, al- ways when in health being found in his accustomed place in the sanctuary. By his death another of the pioneer business men has been removed froth our midst. His remains were interred in the Exeter Union Burial ground, on Wednesday, followed by a large concourse of sorrowing friends and neighbors. fl Prominent flmerioan Bishop Writes for Vie Benefit of Canadian Sutferer8, He Strongly Recommends Paine's Celery Compound The Health Giving Spring Medicine. Thousands of prominent clergymen in Canada and other lands through the use of Paine's Celery Compound are happily pursuing their pastoral duties and ministering with success to their congregations. !lean; trouble, sleeplessness, nervousness, sluggish and impure blood, weak digestion constipation and headache, are the troubles that di eg clergymen down to deeper sufferings and pet ill. To -day Paine's Celery Compound is the chos- en home medicine of salt wise and pru- dent ministers and priests. A vast number of them owe their lives and present good health to D. Phelps' world renowned preset ipan u that "makes sick people wetl." • Rev. John 5, Michaud, Bishop of Burlington, Vt, writes as follows: " I have been asked why I recom- mend Paine's Celery Compound, and 1 desire to put on record frankly my reasons for this endorsement, hoping that nty words may inspire those readers who need health and strength with faith to try Paine's Celery Com- pound and prove to themselves its worth. "At the Fanny Allan tlospital, an institution in which Iani deeply in terested, Paine's Celery Compound has been usedssu c fu t s c e l y. The sis- ters of Mercy. at Mount St., Mary's Academy on Mansfield Ave., rely up- on Paine's Celery Compound as a tonic incl strengthener. In my own household one of the domestics has taken Pelee'.s Celery Compound for liver trouble of long standing, and says. It has done more good than any other medicine.' Several priests have spoken to me in •{,raise of this remedy, and I believe it has the con- fidence of my associates. Even did I not know from personal observation of the worth of Paine's Celery Corn - pound I should feel like praising it for the simple reason that it is pre- pared by the Wells & Richardson Co., �i firm whose members I have known for nearly a quarter of a century, and in whom I have perfect confidence.'' 11004101116.
