A sad gloom was cast over the village and vicinity on Sunday, Oct. 24, when another of our old residents, Mrs. J. H. Duckett, passed peacefully away to the great beyond. Her mai- den name was Louisa Yardley. She was bom in Warwickshire, England, 87 years and 6 months ago. There she was married to her now sorrow- ing husband and came to Canada over fifty years ago and settled in Colling- wood township. A few years later they moved to Eugenia, to the farm where she passed away. Three years ago they celebrated their golden wed- ding. She was a firm believer in the English church. She was a woman of rather reserved nature and was al- ways hale and hearty until a few weeks prior to her death. Rev Mitchell, the .'Vnglican minister of Markdale, delivered a very comfort- ing sermon at the house, assuring 1 Many present wore fanciful and comic masks in keeping with the spirit of the time. The school was decorated in black and orange Hallowe'en cats, sprites and grinning pumpkin heads made the place look spooky. Mr. A. F. Pedlar acted as chairman. The r teacher. Miss Johnston, and children, had prepared a very fitting program, which was well received. A tasty lunch was served, after which the eve- ning ended in dancing. Master Hedley Lehman of Toronto is visiting with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Jake Williams. Miss Gertrude Greenaway of Oran- geville is on a visit with her sister, Mrs Harold Falconer. Mr. and Mrs. Wellington Graham and daughter, Miss Phyllis, have re- turned home after a fortnight's visit with friends at Clarksburg. It will not be long until election day is here again. We suppose every- body will vote for a '-Fortune" thi.: time. Yes, maybe a Fortune would be alright for the people if it is the right kind of a "Fortune." those present that the deceased's love for Jesus had given her perfect rest.'j Mrs. P. -Munshaw has returned homu Mrs. Charles Newell and sisters, the ] from Niagara Falls, where she ha= Mi.«ses Edith and Mabel Betts. ren- dered some favorite hymns of the deceased lady. Interment took place Tuesday afternoon in the family plot at Salem cemetery. The funeral was by motor. By the blessed union five children were bom to them. One son. Thomas, and one daughter. Ella, predeceased her a number of j;ears ago. Besides the sorrowing husband three daughters â€" Sarah (Mrs. Will Hawkins), Louisa (Mrs. R. Haney), Maud (Mrs. .\lf. Genoe). of Eugenia: and four sons. Will of Eugenia, Lu- ther of Ceylon, Fred of Eugenia and Levi of Maxwellâ€" are left to mourn the loss of a lovinjr mother The pall bearers were the four sons and two sons-in-law, Alfred Genoe and Robert Haney. The beautiful oaken casket was laden with many pretty floral offerings, among them being a pillow from the famUy, spray from Mr. and Mrs. Will Hawken. spray Mr. and Mrs. Fred Duckett, spray from Mr. and Mrs. Will Duckett and daughter. May; spray from Mr. and Mrs. .Alfred Gtnoe, spray from Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Haney, spray from Mr. and Mr§. Lur- ther Duckett, spray from Mr and Mrs. Levi Duckett, spray from Eu- genia friends and neighbors. The flower carriers were Misses Marjorie and Annie Hyslop, Mae Duckett and Mabel Betts. Messrs. John Hyslop, Bruce and Ivan Hawkins, and Lau'- rie Betts. We extend our profound sympathy to the family in their sad bereavement, especially to Mr. Duck- ett in his loneliness. Mr. Duckett is five years younger than the deceased and is yet hale and hearty, still walk- ing with a springy step. A novel little party was held for the tiny tots of the United Sunday school in the basement of the United Church'here. The party included the Cradle Roll class and those who were just recently promoted to the Prim- ary class, the mothers of the child- ren, the Superintendent of the C. R. department and the Primary class teacht:.-. Invtitations were extended to the minister and his wife. Mrs. (Dr.) Murray and Mrs H. Down of Fleshertoh, who duly accepted and were present. The program was quite appropriate for the occasion. Games were indulged in in which the children took part. Mrs. Down de- livered a fine address to the mothers and said that the "daddies" were just as responsible as the mothers in keep- ing their children on the right path. .A.S time was limited Mrs. Down had to cut short her speech and we were sorry, as we would like to have heard more. Mrs. Murray delighted the children with a story, a real bear story in which the mamma bear pun- ished the little bears for disobedience. We are sure the little boys and girls who heard this story will not disobey like the little bears did. and get pun- rshed. Rev Mr. Harrt)wer acted as chairman and gave a short address. A suitable and pretty little hymn was sung by Patricia and Douglas Ma- gee, accompanied by Pattie Morgan at the organ. Last, but not least, was the dainty supper that was serv- ved in the basement. The tables w-ere tastefully decorated with crepe pa- per ribbons, flowers and little animal cookies. The Superintendent's three daughters, Mrs. W. Graham. Mrs. E. Morgan and Miss Georgina Smith and two grand-daughters. Patricia Morgan and Phyllis Graham, made capable waitresses. We are sure all present had a very enjoyable and so cial afternoon together, and much been visiting her daughter. Mrs. Laree, for somo' tir.-.c. Mr. and Mrs. Cha.?. Quasneil an'l family of Owen Sound visited recently with Mr. and Mrs Jos. Slierwood. Mr. and Mrs. Falconer and family of Durham visited over the week end with their son, Harold, and wife here.

During the last few years he has been occupy- ing his time in cultivating a small truck farm, including a small tobacco patch which he took considerable pride in showing to his many friends. Active always in the affairs of the day and community, it had been only the last two years, just after he had passed the ceritury mark in birthdays that his sense of hearing and sight seemed to be failing him, though very gradually. Surviving are five daughters, Mrs. Harry Ridley of Crary, Miss Zella Meggott and Mrs. Charles Parker of Leeds, Mrs. James Leopard, and Mrs. William Cliff, who reside in the pro- vince of Ontario, Canada, and two sons, Joe, who is farming two miles east of Crary, and Robert, also located in Ontario. To the Electors: We are now enterias; upon the last month of the campaign. Let us work for victory on December 1st. Not victory for ourselves but for all citi- zens who want to see the voice of the people respected and the O.T..\. re- tained. The people expressed their desire for Temperance Laws in 1919, 1921 and 1924. Three commands by the people ought to be enough. Let us defeat the Government that flouts the people's will. Guard against a split dry vote by supporting the only dry candidate who can win in South Grey. Yours for Victory, â€" F. R. OLIVER. Charles Hodgins of East Gwillim- bury paid S5.00 and costs for per- mitting his son, a minor, to drive his automobile. A new extension is to be made to the G. and M. hospital, at Owen Sound, to cost $50,000. Tlie new wing will serve as a nurses' home and also provide for additional ac- commodation for patients.
