The deceased. whose maiden name was Elizabeth Mitchell, was born at Varney. then known as Enniskillen, on the 10th of October, 1874, and was therefore in her fiftieth year. Her parentsNMr. and Mrs. James Mitchell, came from Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1873, and settled for a year or two on what was known as the Cochrane farm. About 1875 the family moved to Proton to Lot 33, Concession l where she was married on the l3t or July, 1896, to Mr. William Burnett. They immediately took up home at Hopeville, where they remained, with the exception of about a year, until they moved to Durham the lst of December last.

ROCKY DBBATERS WON IN FRIDAY'S DEBATE All roads led to Edge Hill school- house on Friday evening, and the building was crowded almost to suf- focation when the return debate beâ€" tween the Edge Hill and Rocky Clubs took place. By way of preliminaries there were several numbers of vocal and instrumental music, which were en- thusiastically encm'ed. Then came the debate. The chairman was Mr. Herb. Edge. the judges were Revs; Wheaten, Smith and Peters.

Boettger, Hanover $2.00 a Year in Canada; $2.50 in U. 8. Roy Matthews, the fifteen-year- old son or Mr. and Mrs. James Mat- thews of town was taken down with a serious attack of appendicitis and an operation was performed 'l‘uesday evening in the Red Cross Menwriul Hospital here, Dr. D. B. .lamicson being the surgeon. The boy‘s condiâ€" tion was found to be most serious. the appendix having burst.

A_ homeless, penniioss vagrant was found lying in a New York alleyway by the. police last week. He was dying of exposure and was almost frozen to death. when found. The man was turned. over to a welfare organization, given food, clothing and shelter. and a kindly philan- thropist offered him $500 for his. dog. A battered mongrel had been found beside his master in the alley- way. To the surprise of the philanthrop- ist, the derelict refused the offer. Much as $500 would mean to him he said. he wouldn’t part with the dog. “He's the only freind l have left and he’s worth more than money to me," he explained. When human friends had left him his dog had stayed. V Son of Mr. and Mrs. James Matthews ‘Reporwd Doing WellOAfter Criticd Operation Tuesday Evening.

That the master would withstand the temp- tation of money which no doubt meant much to him. rather than part from the dog which had stood by him to the last. seems to lend a quality of poetic justice to the tale. 0n 'l‘hursday.
