that we all must pass that way. Lloyd
was a member of the Young Men's

McKILLOP
A Very Sad Death.—,,Sad indeed was
the gloom that was cast over this com-
munity on Monday, January 26th,
when it became known that James,
better known as Jimmie O'Loughlin,
had passed away, although not unex-
pectedly, as he had been in failing
health for some time caused by a
form of heart failure., Being born a
short dfs'hfance from the farm on
which he died, he spent all of his
life in McKillop and had very many
sterling qualities. Ever upright in
his dealings it is truly said his word
was as good as his bond, and never
did charity knock at his door and
was let go unheeded. Being of a very
cheerful disposition, he was beloved
by both young and old and never was
he any happier than when lending a
helping band to his neighbor. In the
family circle he will be missed most
of all as he was dearly cherished, and
his loss is keenly felt. All that the
'best of medical aid and kind nursing
could do was done, but in vain. God
choose otherwise,, and his soul went
to meet his Redeemer on above date.
The funeral which was very largely
attended took place on Wednesday to
St. Coluntban, where requiem mass
was sung by Rev. Father White, who
was in constant attendance during
his illness, and his body was laid to
rest ie St. Columban cemetery. He
leaves to mourn his loss his life part-
ner, who was Mary Lavin, and two
small children, viz., Jimmie, aged 11,
and Bridget, nine years. The pall
bearers were W. Manley, Pat Mc-
Loughlin, J. Dietz, P. J. Johnston, W.
Duffy and Jerry O'Hara.

Institute held their regular meeting
in the Foresters Hall on Thursday.
The Institute has donated fifteen
dollars to the Armenian Fund.—
Mr. and Mrs. Hesley have now
moved into the village into the house
vacated by Mrs. Joseph Lyon. Their
many friends are pleased to have Mr.
and .Mrs. Healey with us.—Mr. Chas.
Manning, who has been. under the
doctor's care for the past three weeks
and has been 'very low with sleep-
ing sickiess, is a little better.—Many
friends will be very sorry to hear
that Mrs. Braithwaite has been very
IEilckr-The chopping mill has been
badly frozen, and roads are in a bad
conditions. This makes business slow.—
We have had extremely cold weather,
the churches having very poor congre-
gations, some Sundays, no service at
all.—Mr. Waymoth had a very suc-
cessful auction sale. Mr. Waymoth's
reason for 'giving up farming is ow-
ing to Mrs. Waymoth's poor health.
Mr, Ernest Adams, who ,purchased the
farm, will take possession the first
of March. It is not Mr. Adam's in-
tention to move on the farm, just
run it for a pasture farm.—The coun-
ciIahas decided to go on with the
memorial hall, and expect it will go
on with it this summer.

vas for the peace thankoffering in
connection with the Forward Move-
ment is due next week. a canvas in
which, an churches are participating.
We are grateful that peace has come.
Let us show our gratitude by making
a hearty contribution to this equipment
and extension fund for the kingdom
of Christ. It is hoped that each and
every adult will help in this good
work and that all boys and girls will
assist by- giving, wherever possible,
something that they call their own.
Brucefield congregation is expectea to
raise $4,193,72, and the subscription
may be paid in four payments, ex-
tending over 1920 land 1921. This
offering is as nothing at all com-
pared with what it would have cost us
had the war been lost. Let us ask'
ourselves two questions: How much
are we able to give? and how' much
are we willing to give? and so let
each one be prepared to declare the
amount of., his offering when the can-
vassers call. May Brucefield "go over
the top."
Notes.—Sacrament of the Lord's
supper will be held in our village
on Sabath next, and preparatory ser-
vices on Friday.—Delegates from our
village attended the Forward Move-
ment meeting iu Clinton in last week
and all returned enthused with the
work before them. The great theme
before all' will be Christ first. Nothing
unless can be a real service Christ is
pleased first. Another great theme
before all was, family worship, to
make homes really like Christ would
have them. Next week the congre-
gation will be canvassed to see, whatmo
sum will be given to the Forward
Movement. The share of Brucefield
congregation is $4,193.76. Many are
M high hopes that the money in the
congregation will be raised.—An of-
-
fering was taken up in the Sunday
school on Sabbath for the Armenians.

who resigned, another nomination is
to be held at the town ball on Mon-
day evening net, February 9th, and
if necessary, an election will follow
on Monday, the 16th,—At the council
meeting Monday evening it was de-
cided to call a public meeting for next
Monday evening to talk over the ques-
tion of improvements to our town
hall. For many years the lack of ac-
commodation and convience bas been
felt, and we sincerely hope something
definite will be done. To enlarge the
Bali and make it sufficiently adequate
for our needs should not. cost so very
much and, no doubt, a large part ef
the work required would be done by
the citizens voluntarily. If all will
but pull together big things can be

McKILLOP
A Very Sad Death.—,,Sad indeed was
the gloom that was cast over this com-
munity on Monday, January 26th,
when it became known that James,
better known as Jimmie O'Loughlin,
had passed away, although not unex-
pectedly, as he had been in failing
health for some time caused by a
form of heart failure., Being born a
short dfs'hfance from the farm on
which he died, he spent all of his
life in McKillop and had very many
sterling qualities. Ever upright in
his dealings it is truly said his word
was as good as his bond, and never
did charity knock at his door and
was let go unheeded. Being of a very
cheerful disposition, he was beloved
by both young and old and never was
he any happier than when lending a
helping band to his neighbor. In the
family circle he will be missed most
of all as he was dearly cherished, and
his loss is keenly felt. All that the
'best of medical aid and kind nursing
could do was done, but in vain. God
choose otherwise,, and his soul went
to meet his Redeemer on above date.
The funeral which was very largely
attended took place on Wednesday to
St. Coluntban, where requiem mass
was sung by Rev. Father White, who
was in constant attendance during
his illness, and his body was laid to
rest ie St. Columban cemetery. He
leaves to mourn his loss his life part-
ner, who was Mary Lavin, and two
small children, viz., Jimmie, aged 11,
and Bridget, nine years. The pall
bearers were W. Manley, Pat Mc-
Loughlin, J. Dietz, P. J. Johnston, W.
Duffy and Jerry O'Hara.

vacated by Mrs. Joseph Lyon. Their
many friends are pleased to have Mr.

cessful auction sale. Mr. Waymoth's
reason for 'giving up farming is ow-

of March. It is not Mr. Adam's in-
tention to move on the farm, just
run it for a pasture farm.—The coun-

The Forward Movement. -The can
vas for the peace thankoffering in
connection with the Forward Move-
ment is due next week. a canvas in
which, an churches are participating.
We are grateful that peace has come.
Let us show our gratitude by making
a hearty contribution to this equipment
and extension fund for the kingdom
of Christ. It is hoped that each and
every adult will help in this good
work and that all boys and girls will
assist by- giving, wherever possible,
something that they call their own.
Brucefield congregation is expectea to
raise $4,193,72, and the subscription
may be paid in four payments, ex-
tending over 1920 land 1921. This
offering is as nothing at all com-
pared with what it would have cost us
had the war been lost. Let us ask'
ourselves two questions: How much
are we able to give? and how' much
are we willing to give? and so let
each one be prepared to declare the
amount of., his offering when the can-
vassers call. May Brucefield "go over
the top."
Notes.—Sacrament of the Lord's
supper will be held in our village
on Sabath next, and preparatory ser-
vices on Friday.—Delegates from our
village attended the Forward Move-
ment meeting iu Clinton in last week
and all returned enthused with the
work before them. The great theme
before all' will be Christ first. Nothing
unless can be a real service Christ is
pleased first. Another great theme
before all was, family worship, to
make homes really like Christ would
have them. Next week the congre-
gation will be canvassed to see, whatmo
sum will be given to the Forward
Movement. The share of Brucefield
congregation is $4,193.76. Many are
M high hopes that the money in the
congregation will be raised.—An of-
-
fering was taken up in the Sunday
school on Sabbath for the Armenians.
