Timmy l Gunmanâ€"Another of the pioneers of i the township passed away on Wednesday ’at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Francis Kelley, in the person of Mrs. Lancelot J unkin. The old lady was 88 years of age, the last 53 years of her life having been spent in Verulam. Mr. and Mrs. Junkin came out from the County of Fermanagh, Ireland, and in those days the journey from Quebec, was an under- taking beyond the comprehension of the young people of the present time, who are accustomed to roll about the country in luxurious Pullman cars. They ï¬rst tried farming on Sandy Lake in Harvey and then moved to the lot known as Brandeston, on Sturgeon Lake. After a short time they moved further inland to the lot they made the family homestead. Mr. J unkin died some 14 years ago, and Mrs. J unkin remained on the old place until a few weeks ago, when the house; and barns were destroyed by ï¬re. At the time of the. disaster the old lady was l in bed, but she was partly dressed, welli wrapped and taken care of and did not appear to be eï¬'ected for the worse. The shock. however, must have been felt and have been too much for her, for although her dauizhter did'all‘that could be done for the old lady she gradually sank away, and on Wednesday passed over to the great majority. She leaves a daughter and four sons. The funeral takes place; to-day (Friday) and will no doubt be‘ largely attended.â€"â€"Independent. ‘ chovnan.â€"Mr. Edward Fitzgerald, who came home from Buffalo several weeks ago, with a broken leg. is now able to walk fairly well by the aid ‘of a stick.

Mr. Brady rushed the work through. and by em- ploying.r an extra force of men was able to have the same completed in four days after starting, much to the satisfaction of the people residing on the island.

And whereas iall the proï¬t and honors resulting from lthe success attending this exhibition, on lthc part of Canada, will be of a national lcharacter, and 'will in no way immediate- ily beneï¬t the individual fruit exhibitors. 1 Therefore, all expenses attending collect- ?ing, forwarding and exhibiting the same lshould be paid out of the public funds. ‘Be it therefore resolved: That the direc- tors of this association pledge themselves to use every means in their power to produce, to prepare, or to secure for exhibition at Chicago such varieties of strawberries,currents, goose berries, plums, pears, apples and other fruits in season as may be found suitable for that purpose, provided assurance is received at an early , date that the funds to defray the necessary expenses for procuring. collecting and, forwarding the same will be forthcoming; when received, and that a copy} of this, paper be forwarded at once to the; superintendent of the Fruit Department of Ontario at Chicago. â€"Carried.
