Mrs. Gordon's great influ- ence lay in her beauty of character, so altogether unostentatious, so beau- tifully unselfish and loving, which seemed to bespeak a spirit of total ancrifice to a cause which formed, as it were, a part ' of -her very being.

Ag president of the Bank of Commerce Byron E.

The two old er provinces of Ontario and Quebec have concluded the year in prosperous conditions. Manufacturers report steady increase in orders, with im- provement in prices, Additions to existing _ far tori were quite numer- ous. ~ With increased production at Cobalt, whieh' may be maintained 'at the present high level for some years. Ontario tgkey third place among the nations of the world as a producer of silver, Only the United States and Mexico surpass us in this respect.

Whattam and Charles Dainard were killed by a falling tree, on Tuesday 'afterndon. The two men had left their-homes after dinner and went to a field on Mrs. Richard Ad erman's farm to fell some trees. Din ard wad staying the winter with Mrs, 'with Mr. Whattam. , When darkness camé on Mes. What tam became alarmed at her husband's absence and she went to Ackerman's, about a half-mile distant, to make enquiries. Miss 8. E. Ackerman was sent obit with a lantern to look for the missing men. She' rheurned short ly to relate the "sad story of finding the two men pinioned to the ground by the branches of a tree they had sawn off its stump, and both men were quite dead. Several men were soon dispatched to the scene of the acci- dent and brought the bodies up to Mrs! Ackerman's house. It.is said by their friends that there are mo two men in the township as well qualified to fell a tree as Whattam and Dainard were. There is wo person who knows just how the accident happened, but from the positions of the bodies when found it is supposed that the tree when sawn clear off, to use a woodman"s term, broke over the stump. ft was a heavy-limbed white oak tree about twenty inches through the trunk. It stood in a corner of a field, and, being close in' the fence corner, was in an awkward position to work around. They had chopped it a little. on the outer side and sawed it clear off from the ioner side. From the position of Dainard's body, lying close to the stump, it is supposed that he was using an axe to drive thé iron wedge when the tree, instead of falling forward, slid down the stump and the heavy lower branches crushed the un- fortunate men to the ground. Toth men had severe cuts 'on their heads and it is thought their death was in- stantaneous. - The unhappy occurrence has cast a gloom over the entire township. Both men were about sixty-one years old. Dainard was a widower and has a brother, Willet €., of Milford, and Alva S., of Hallowell Station. What- tam leaves a wife and one son, Sam- uel, of Cherry Valley Road. His broth ers are Joseph, John W, Henry, James A., all of this county, and Ellis, of Oregon: his sisters are Mrs. George Dulmage, Mrs. Alva Rose, Mrs, Lewis Ostrander, Mrs. William Head.
