THE Rifle Association met in the Town Hall on Tuesday evening and though the attendance was rather slim. considerable work was gone through. The most important was the drafting and' adopting of the by-law which took up the greater part of the evening. The range has been looked over and staked out, and the contracts let for digging and planking the pit. Firing mounds will have to be built and this will be done with the first favor- able weather. The targets are ex- pected to be in position and the range completed in about a month. THE Bruce Herald in the following paragraph refers to an evil which is all too common here and elsewhere. “No admission except on business” should be the motto for entrance to the office at all depots: Ms. Clancy of Paisley, who for several years has been Station Agent of the G. T. R. and also agent of the Canadian Ex- press Co. both at Chesley and Paisley, has been retired from the services of both companies. An express money parcel of $230.00 was stolen from his ofiice at the Paisley station last week and though he made good the loss, out of his own pocket, the companies held that he had not exercised proper care in allowing people without busi- ness to go behind his counter. It is a common practice at country stations for people without business or au- thority to make themselves at home in the station master’s omce. They do not consider the inconvenience and danger to the station master of such a practice. but thoughtlessly indulge their own humor reckless of conse- quence to others. Mr. Clancy has lost his position through this practice and several people have exposed them- selves to suspicion. )liss Mabel Thorpe and Mr. Alex. MucKenzie, formerly of Durham.

MAY 10, 1906. Mas. J OHN A. BLACK. Sunday was a sad day in the home of Mr. John A. Black of this town. He went to the Presbyterian church in the morning but was summoned from the service on account of his wife’s ill- ness. Medical attendance was procur- ed at once and the remainder of the day was a period of intense anxiety to husband, children and friends. About seven o’clock death came to relieve the suffering wife and mother who to-day, Tuesday, is being interred at the Rocky Cemetery with her still-born baby boy. The deceased lady was respected by everybody. She was an extremely kind and affectionate wife and mother, having the happy faculty of being cheerful and friendly at all times. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John McKinnon, of Chesley who still sur- vive her together with her three brothers and two sisters, all living on the old homestead. Three little girls, Kattie Bell, Jessie. Florrie and Mar- guerite Iona, aged ten. eight and six years respectively, are the surviving children who are left to grow up with- out a full appreciation of a mother’s care. Mrs. Black was a faithful member of the Presbyterian church being iden t- ified with that Christian body in Ches- ley during her younger days, and sub- sequently of the Presbyterian church, here, since her marriage on the 20th of September, 1893. Much as the community may sym- pathise with the distressed husband and children, there is nothing but time will heal the sorrows they are forced to endure alone. Some beautiful flor- al offerings were laid on the coffin by fellow employees at Separator Works, by Mr. and Mrs. Calder, Dr. and Mrs. Hutton and others. Dr. M. C. Black, of Paisley, brother of Mr. Black, Mrs. McKinnon, mother of deceased, Malcolm, John and Dug- ald McKinnon. three brothers. Miss Kate McKinnon, sister, Mr. Alex. Mc- Gregor, brother-in-law of deceased, Robert and John Oswald, Edwin D. Evans, Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Cope, An- drew Marshall and Donald McGregor. of Chesley. friends of the family, and Mrs. McLeod, sister of Mr. Black, and son Archie, of Farewell, Mich., were present at the funeral. GEORGE EWEN’. \Ve regret to chronicle the death of Mr. George Ewen whodied after about three weeks’ illness of typhoid at the home of his brother John D. Ewen, of Lumsden Saskatchewan. Deceased was 23 years, one month and 13 days old and left here on the 5th of March, only about six weeks before his death. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Ewen, of the Rocky, who are not bear- ing sorrow for the first time, as their son Robert died under similar circum- stances of typhoid in the Rocky Moun- tains, eight years ago last October, at the age of 23 years, 1 month and 9 days, or four days younger than George whom they now mourn with fresh sorrow. Though Mr. and Mrs. Ewen were aware of their son’s illness they entertained hopes of his recovery until near the last. Saturday before his death a telegram was received an- nouncing his serious condition. This was followed by another Monday con- taining information of a more gloomy nature and on Tuesday a third mes- sage announced his death. To the many friends who rendered services or sympathy in my severe bereavement, I beg to return thanks, and assure them all of the heartfelt appreciation of myself and relatives. J om: A. BLACK. MR. ROBERT SMITH moves out this week to J ohu Smith’s at 3Aberdeen to cut some saw-logs. _ He goes next to Chesley. In September last the deceased be- cameamember of the Sons of Scot- land and his benificiaries hold a claim for $1,000 which will be paid promptly. The total amount. paid in to the Society, we are told, did not much ex- ceed the sum of ten dollars. Such is life and little did the assured or his beneficiaries dream then that a few short months would terminate the contract. A similar coincidence is connected with the death of his brother Robert, who was amemoer of the Independent Order of Foresters only a few months at the time of his death. \Ve extend our personal sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. Ewen and family in their sore bereavement.
