She had been ailing for some time, but no immediate fears were entertained by herself or family, though it was known she would not live any great length of time. The ailment seemed to he a complication of heart, kidneyd land stomach troubles. The deceased was well and favorably known here, and the intelligence of her sudden death was a great surprise to the whole community.

Shepard, Barrie. attend- ed the funeral of his brother-inJaw, Mr. H. Parker, on Saturday last. Mr. S. J. Parker, and his nephew, John Parker, of Owen Sound, attend- ed the funeral of the farmer’s brother. Saturday. Two weeks ago. we referred very briefly to the death of Mrs. Parker, and, again, last week, after part of our edition was run off, intelligence reached us of the sudden death of Mr. Parker himself, just one week after the death of his beloved partner. The town was shocked at his sudden tak- ing off, and regrets were everywhere expressed. Mr. Parker has been many years in Durham. and the general public in town and vicinity know him so well that anything we can say in the mat- ter will notbe new. He was a successâ€" ful business man, and by thrift and close attention to business, accumulat. ed a lot of property. In addition to his work as a druggist, he was also engaged in farming and stockâ€"raising, which he carried on with success, especially in the breeding of Short- horn cattle. In business matters, we believe that Mr. Parker was honest to a cent. In politics. he was a Liberal- Conservative, and in religion he was atrue and devoted member of the English Church. to which he was a generous contributor. He leaves no family, and, we understand, the only surviving members of the family are S. J. Parker, Owen Sound, and a. nephew. John Parker, son of the late Joseph Parker.

IF Constable Carson got all the abuse he says he did the night after the election, he should have jerked up the idiots who were interfeaing with his authority. A crazy man shouldn’t be allowed to run at large, no matter what side he takes in politics, nor how mean he may act as a party heeler, IF a man looks to public opinion for the selection of his daily newspaper, he cannot go far astray. When he finds that THE NE‘VS, Toronto, has the largest circulation of any evening paper in Canada, he naturally conclu- des that the general public have chos- it as the paper most to he depended upon; that it will not be sensational; that its general and political news will he bright, interesting and unprejn- diced and that it will contain some. thing of interest not only to himself but to every member of his family.
