‘v-‘v- -yv- on Monday afternoon last. Death did not come unawares, the deceased having been confined to her bed for eevera! weeks. To the end she retained that loving disposition and cheerful smile which characterized her whole life. and intensified the elections of her many friends. The eerelnony was conducted by Rev. Ir. Sharpe. in the absence oi her regular pastor. Rev. Mr. Smith. We ny-patbize with Mr. and Mrs. Whal- e. and family in their end amiction. ht rejoice that they do not mourn ”I... having no hope. SORROWS are always in our midst. and this week it becomes our painful duty to announce the death of: Miss Maude Whelan, who departed this life on Saturday night last. at the earlv age of nineteen years. The deceued was the youngest daughter of Mr. end Mrs. ThomeeWhelnn. d a young woman of amiable disp [i- tion, e general favorite with old and young, and mourned in deeth as et- eeeted by the large number of sorrow- ing _!_riends who attended her burial Tm: (flement question is unfolding itself nicely. and developetnents are going on satisfactorily. At a meet- ing 0! the Board of Directors held in Toronto Monday, the Burnett prop- erty was selected as the site. and the selection, we believe, is giving uni- versal satisfaction. We are not in a position to say just how long it will be before the work begins, but as sure our readers that the company is unxious to begin as soon as possible It’s a huge undertaking involving the expenditure of six or seven hun-t dred thousand dollars, and cannot be jumped st without mature considera- tion. Though we say very little this week, we have still a great deal that might be added to what we have already mentioned. Our confidence isgrowing every day and we hepe this first year of the twentieth cen- tury is the beginning of a wide-spred prosperity in the old town of Dur- hum. aympathy. But imagine our sur- prise when he made the cool reply, “Its handy [or shoocin’.” This in- terview took place twelve or thir- teen years ago. and though we newer met the man since, we feel confident he’s happy still. 'l‘he incident con- tains quite a lesson. Snare people have the happy facul- ty of making the best of everything, but few can look so philosophically on misfortune as the man we have in mind. He was never considered very bright, and no doubt his luck of brilliancy had something to do with making him resigned to a misfortune by which he lost the use of one of his eyes. After an absence of nine or ten years we met. the poor fellow one day and learned his loss, for which we naturally eXprcssed our sympnthy. But imagine our sur- prise when he made the cool replj'. A VERY narrow esdlpe from drown- ‘ ing occurred on Wednesday evening of last week, when Russell, a little four or five year old son of Conductor Lavelle, fell into the river through a hole on the unused sidewalk of Lambton street bridge. The water at this point is quite deep. and had it not. been for timely assistance the lad would have been drowned. A number of boys were with him when the accident occurred, and Lloyd 1 Bean, a gritty little chap, waded in I to save him, but being unable to: swim and unable to reach him when! in nearly up to his neck, he was‘ forced to abandon the task. Just! then a Mr. Wick came along andi rescued the little fellow in the nick? of time, as a minute or so more inight' place him beyond recovery. Mr. ’ Lavelle is grateful for the assisrauce.
