Q Mrs. ‘ McGillivray had not been in the best of health'for some time, but, until ‘ her return from a visit to her moth- ; er, Mrs. Ryan, at Moose Lodge. three days prior to her death, there was “apparently nothing to excite alarm. Then her condition grew so serious that medical advice was summoned. ; But despite all remedies administered t to relieve the deceased’s sufferings. blood poisoning intervened. and she expired in twenty-t’wo hours. Mrs. McGillivray was the second daughter of Mrs. Ryan, of \Vabigoon. and was just twenty years and six months old at the time of her death, and had only been married a little over a year ago. The remains were brought into Wabigoon on Sunday afternoon and conveyed on Tuesday morning to Rat Portage, where they were inter- red in Rat Portage cemetery. Archie McGillivray. Mrs. Ryan and Mrs!

T0 CONSUMPTWES. The residence of Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Stewart here received a genuine house-warming on Tuesday evening of last week when the sons and daughters, sons-in-lsw and daugh- ters-in-lsw oi the esteemed couple invaded their new home to do them honor. Mr. Donald McLeod was ap- pointed chsirman and in a neat speech explained the object of their visit after which Mr. J B. Thi'oeaudeau read the following address : To Me. AND Mas. A. STEWART. Dnaa Parana AND Morena ;-â€"-Wst have taken possession of your home I this evening to spend one more oil the many pleasant evenings spent under the parental roof, and feel we should not let the present opportune time pass without some tangible token of the loving esteem in which we hold a kind and provident father. ' a loving and afiectionate mother and’ withal parents whose constant consi- deration has been the welfare of their family and who have never thought! any sacrifice too great for our pro-l sent or future happiness. For alli these years of loving toil and care we frankly confess we can never reo‘ pay you, but as a very slight token of our love to you we ask you to ac- cept these chairs hoping they may add somewhat to your pleasure in the afternoon of life and that as you rest in them your thoughts may go pleas- antly back to some of the inscances of our happy life together in the old home. As we press on through our lives our thoughts will oftimes be drawn to many kind acts you have performed; to the many loving words of comfort you have Spoken and to the good advice you were ca- pable of giving; and then our thoughts are turned to our kind and merciful Father who has given His blessing these many years and we hepe it may be the will of Him who rules on high that you may be spared to us for many years yet to come. Our thoughts go to the three absent members of the family, and back to the 'sad spots in the past when we were called upon to suffer the grief we felt at parting with a loving and much-loved brother and sister. May we all so live that when we leave this earth it will be to join those who have gone before to the better 3 land. And yet, We cannot close with- ;out our minds turning to our pros- jpects for many more pleasant hours Ltogether. Signed on behalf of the family : MARK STEWART. DONALD MGLEOD. Mr. Stewart feelingly replied, but was so overcome with the expression of affection towards himself and his wife that he was unable to give ut- terance to all that was in his heart to say. The chairman then proceeded with a program which included short speeches from the sons, Mark, John and Charlie and sonsoin-law, John B. and Peter 'l‘hibeaudeau, Andrew Gil- christ, Alex McRae and the chairs man, Mr. John Stewart, Nebraska, ofiered a few words and Mrs J. B 'l‘hibeaudeau gave a recitation. A trio was rendered by Mesdames John and Peter 'l‘hibeaudeau and Mrs. Jno. Stewart, and musical selections on organ and violin were given by Mr. and Mrs. R. Thibeaudeau and Mr. D. McLeod. Highland dancing by the little grand-daughters‘ Zill and Willa McLeod was a pleasing feature. Refreshments served and the health of the parents drunk, wishing them long to live to enjoy the gifts prev sented, which consisted of a hand- some easy chair to Mr Stewart and a comfortable and pretty rocker to Mrs. Stewart. ”God be with you till we meet again” was sung and the company dispersed.
