The very sudden death of Ellen McNally. wife of Wm. Williamson, of the 12th concession, came as a shock to the neighborhood. She had been unwell for some time, but few knew how seriously. She was the second eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. McNally, of the 8th concession, and was born near Zion 41 years ago this 00111ng summer. Fifteen years ago she was wedded to Mr. Williamson, and the union was blessed with a very bright son, Stanley, now ’12 years old. The funeral took place on Thursday afternoon to Zion cemâ€" etery, Rev. J. Thurburn-Conn. of Markdale, conducting service in the home and at the graveside. Her six brothers were pull-bearers: leorge and Joseph of Mealord. Thomas of Holland, Will of Annam, Albert and Arthur of the home neighborhood. Of the live sisters, only three remain now: Mrs. John Ellison. Jr., Mrs. Wm. Kingston 01“ near Meaford, and Mrs. Gilbert of Saskatchewan. The former two were present at the funeral. Much sympathy is felt for the bereaved husband and son, the aged parents, and the sisters and brothers. She was a schoolmate in bygone years, and we remember her as always be- ing of a sunny and cheery disposi- tion. She grew into strong woman- hood and was the very picture of health a few months ago. MULOCK On Saturday, March 3rd. a numâ€" ber of representatives from each SCht‘ml sectioii of the township of Bentinck met in the Mulock school house for the purpose of packing the township Pwl Cross supplies. which consisted of: 283 pairs of socks, 18 shirts, 3 pairs wristlets, and 34 vermin suits, which were sent as soldiers‘ comforts. 129 pil- low slips, 27 sheets, 51 towels. 7:) suits pyjamas, 47 shirts, and :24 pillows, sent as hospital supplies. The value of the goods was estim- ated at $536. A motion was unan- imously passed that $500 of money in the treasury be sent to the Cana- dian Red Cross Society, still leav- ing a substantial balance on hand. Since organizing in November. last the township of Bentinck has con- tributed to the British and Canadian Red Cross Funds, through several donations: By cash, $1500; supplies shipped, $979.55, making a grand total of $2749.55.

Uruhlman was engaged forking hay out of the mow and lost his balance falling to the threshing floor, and dislocating his hip joint and other- wise injuring himself. Dr. Smith was immediately sent for and re- duced the fracture, and though sut- i'ui-ing very much, is expected to recover. Not seeing our village represent- ml in your paper, we thought we would try our hand. The old adage of “last but not least,” was amply justified in the box social given by the Welbeck section. For better accommodation it was held in the Forester hall, Dornoch, and had it not been for a sale in the neighborhood, the seating capacity of the building would have been taxed to its ut- most. The genial John Graham of Durham, at one time a teacher here, was the chairman, and, to say the least, is an ideal one. The pro- gram was excellent, the music and singing was a rare treat, While the address of Lieut. Yule was inspiri- ing and aroused a fervor of patriot- ism which will be long remembered.
