This Friday evening the union prayer meeting will be held in the Methodist church, when the ser- vice will be taken by Rev. Mr. Lundy. --Mr. Thomas Mollis and daughter, Mrs. Cameron, who for the past two weeks bane been visiting friends in Winglwni. Gerrie, Turnberry and Howick, have returned home.

Mr. Mellis says all the friends visited wished to be re- membered to their many Kipper friends, e is Death of Mrs. '1icGnt,n. -It t. with sadness ,' s : nd sorrow that we ane called upon this week to chronicle the passing away of another of the pioneer- of this community, in the person of Mrs. Duncan McGregor, of our village, who passed away calmly and peiteefully to the mins of her Saviour, ,Ment she so much loved while here in fife. Mrs. McGregor was only ill four clays. On Monday of last week she performed her house hold duties .is usual. but at night' when re, 1 rt "g to rest, she was taken ill, and in spite of all that medical ••id and loving hands could du, on Friday evening, the 4 1 .hu answered the cail of the Mater, o S t come up higher, +her and entered into peaceful rest at tis' age of 72 yenrA and 7 months. Mrs. Me0ra:tn -'s maiden name was Mary Cummings, and h, '.car the .second dau •htt o s f 1. John and :Marion Cummings, who in the. rally days, left their native land of Scotland and settled in that part of the Huron tract, which is now- Tuck- ersmith, but which at that time was little less than a wilderness. It was in this little home that the departed first saw the light of day, and where she resided until she was happily married to her now bereaved husband in the year 1870. By this union there was a family of one son and three daughters. After their marriage the young couple settled on their home on the 10th concession of Tucker - smith, and for many years after as husband and wife did their part well converting beautiful forest into a home, and at the same time laying aside a competency for old age. Some fifteen years ago they left the farm on which their son John, resides, and came to live in our village, to enjoy a well-earned rest, and where only two months ago they celebrated their golden wedding. Thus it may be said that Mrs, McGregor spent her whole life in the same township In which she was born. Besides the son on the homestead, shd is survived by three daughters, XTs, William Work- man and Mrs. Robert Cooper, both of Tuckersmith, and Mrs, John Pat- terson, of Toronto, all the family be- ing present at their mother's funeral. The departed one is the last survivor of a family of six. Early in life Mrs. McGregor became a member of St. Andrew's church, Kippen, and her consistent Christian life manifested a restful and joyous confidence in the words of her Lord, and she main- tained that He who planned the uni- verse, would work out the details and in the days to come the wise coun- cils of a living God be justi- fied. As the Wise Man said, "She looked well to the ways of her house- hold and her children arise up and call her blessed," and although she has gone from our midst, still the beautiful life which she lived, will reproduce.itself in the lives of her children, in the home, in the church and its the . neighborhood in which she lived so long. The funeral was held on Monday and the large at- tendance unaptly testified to the es- teem in which the deceased was held. The services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. R. A. Lundy, who gave a very touching discourse in reference to the deceased after which the re- mains were taken to the Hensall Union Cemetery, for interment, the pall bearers being Henry Forsyth, William Sproat, James Robertson, Hugh McGregor, Joh. Cumtitings and John McGregor and among the friends from a distance whoattended were Mr. and Mrs. Anderson and Miss Belle Sproat, of Belgrave, and Mr. and Mrs. John Patterson and son, Sproat. The sincerest sympathy of the community is extended to the be- reaved husband and fannily.

The Whitefield Fire. -Last week brief reference was made to the burn- ing of Lewis Whitfield's barn, on 9th line of Morris township. The pro- prietor and his helper, Vernon Clegg, were out early at the barn doing the. chores, the former being upstairs put- ting down feed. In some manner the lanternupset u set and set fire to the re- fuse and on into the hay mow. Mr. Whitfield called Clegg, who was in the stables and soon by vigorous efforts the fire was was subdued and thought to be nut. While at breakfast the telephone rang and a neighbor inform- ed them that the barn was on fire. A rush was made to the spot and by the kindly help of neighbors the flames were, put nut, water running through to the .,tables and thanks were returned for the ready Kelp and good work done. About 10.30 Sunday morning for the third time the smoul- dering fire showed itself and on open- ing the barn door the flames shot forth and before many minutes the whole place was ablaze and spread so rapidly that little could be saved, barring the live stock minus the poultry, feed, implements, cutter, harness all went. The bafn was a good one, 60x60 feet, with cement stabling and well fitted out. With difficulty the home was saved from the devouring element. M'r. Whitfield had $1800 insurance in the Elma Mu- tual Fife Insurance Co, and promptly on Monday two directors were on hand and appraised the loss.. Mon- day morning Mr. Whitfield shipped his cattle to Toronto where he dis- posed of them, as he had no place to stable them. Mr. Whitfield bought the farm last spring and had his first crop off it. ' As to what he will do about rebuilding we have not learned but it is a very extensive task to re- place the large barn, which will be a necessity if he retains the fine farm. The community sympathise with him in his loss. e KIPPEN Cord of Thanks. -Mr. Duncan McGregor and family wish to express their sincere thanks • to many friends and neighbors who were 00 kind during the illness and death of Mm.

As everyone came expecting to have a good time, everything from start to finish went as merrily as a marriage bell. The active and very capable committee in charge had ar- ranged everything for the pleasure of the occasion, and those costing early in the evening had an oppor- tunity of spending a while at the card tables, if they so desired, and then about nine o'clock when all were present, the following fine musical and literary programme was carried ant with Bro.
