e On Friday, May 31st, Alexander Con-
• non, 5th line, passed away after a long
• and serious illness, extending about 8
4, months caused by gangrene. He was
• in his` 72nd year and was born at Peter-
• head, Aberdeen, Scotland, June 20,
0 1840. In the Old Land he spent his
o earlier years as a farm hand and at the
• age of 27 came to Canada with his
• mother and other members of the fam-
• ily, his father being dead. They spent
• 2 years at Whitby and came to Morris
• township where, with the exception of
• a few years in Grey, deceased had re -
O sided. 25 years ago last November he
c married Miss Marx A., daughter of the
late Alex. Nichol, f the 6th line of
Morris, and she and a family of 3 sons
(Charles, of Milestone. Sask., Alex and
Charles at home) and 3 daughters
(Mrs. Charles Workman, Brussels, and
Misses Jennie and Alice at home) sur-
vive. Deceased was a Presbyterian in
religion and a Liberal in politics.

After an illness extending over the
past four months, Elizabeth Elliott,
beloved wife of John Hunter, John
street, passed away peacefully to her
reward at 5 o'clock Saturday evening,
June ist. It was not an unexpected
event as little hope was entertained for
her recovery for weeks previous al-
though she put up a gallant fight. Dee -
eased was the youngest daughter of the
late Andrew Elliott and was born in Fer-
managh, Ireland, coming to Brantford,
Ont., whena child, In the year 1859, she
was married to her now bereft partner,
by Rev.Mr. Young and moved to Huron
township, Co. of Bruce, where Mr.
Hunter had a 100 -acre farm near Pine
River. Here they labored and prosper-
ed until 1885, when they sold out and
bought the Patrick Lynn farm, 7th line,
Morris township, and in the fall of 1993
Mr. Hunter and family moved to Brus-
sels, the old folk taking a well-earned
rest. Mrs. Hunter was a faithful
member of the Methodist Church, and
her voice was often heard in testimony
and prayer. She was a bright, mother-
ly, kindly woman and will be greatly
missed in the home, church and com-
munity, In addition to her husband
she is survived by two sons, Rev. J. E.
of Tupperville, Ont., and Rev. W. Fal -
lis, of Pleasant Mount, Penn., and 5
daughters, Mrs. W. H. Peters, Bervie;
Mrs. F.A. Arnett, Allenford, and Miss-
es Anna, Mina and Clara, at home,
John died in 1888 and Joseph passed
away last Ocrober.
The Trustees of S. S. No. 8, Morris,
have re-engaged Miss Frain for the
coming year at a salary of $565.00.
The Trustees of S. S. No. 5 have
engaged Clayton Procter as teacher for
the coming year at a salary of $500.
Mr. Procter has taught 2 years and at-
tended the Normal School. He has
done good work in Grey township,
where he is now teaching and is leav-
ing for a higher salary. We wish him
success as he takes up the reins handed
over by Miss Cornish next fall.
The 4th line bridge is not in good
shape since the freshet of the spring.
West cement abutment cracked from
top to bottom owing to the undermin
ing by the water and now the bridge
has dropped considerably owing to the
damaged abutment. The latter will
have to be rebuilt and the steel super-
structure straightened up.
At the last meeting of the Township
Council George A. Procter was appoint-
ed Weed Inspector, to be paid 20 cents
an hour when employed. Mr. Procter
will fill the bill and the work to be done
should tend to improvement of clean
farms in Morris.
Two years ago the new iron bridge
with cement abutments was built on
the 1st line, known as Cruickshank
bridge. The freshet last spring played
havoc with the abutment so much so
that Chas. Campbell has the contract
of blasting it so as to get it out of the
way. 50 feet will be added to the
bridge by the Hill Co., of Mitchell and
a pier will add to the support. Esti-
mated cost of the whole work is from
$3000 to $4000.
