Local News Items Ox Thursday eveni 1g of last week the news went round town that Mr. Thomas Noble was in a very low con- dition and not expected to recover an attack of Pneumonia which had laid him off work just a day or two before He was around town the early part of the week sufiering from a severe cold, but not feeling the result parti- cularly. The best attention and best medical skill proved ineffectual in restoring him to health and strength for on Thursday night about nine o’clock his Spirit took its everlaSting flight. Interment took place Sunday afternoon to the Durham Cemetery whither the remains were followed by the members of the Canadian Order of Foresters and the members ot the Orange Order, in both of which he was a member.

DURING the past few years the town has made very rapid material pro- gress.

IT was no small surprise to the town \Vednesday morning to learn that on the previous night about 11 o’clock, \Vm. Jolley. an itenerint painter, was found dead by the host- ler in the Middaugh House stable. Deceased we understand is from Owen Sound. where he has relatives. and was boarding at the Central Hotel. He had been drinking some- what freely it appears since he got off work a fortnight ago, and on Tuesday evening lay down in the stable where he was nor. disturbed until found dead about ten or eleven o’clock. He wasaman about fifty- five years of ge, and an affectionate letter from a married daughter in Toronto, expressing fear that he was drinking again. was found on his person. The name of the writer, or the street address. Was non given. and consequently she could not be communicated with. Relatives at Owen Sound were advised, but at time of going to press we have no definite information as to what will be done. A post-mortem is likely to be made. but as there are no suspi- cions of any kind an inquest will hardly be necessary. The Chronicle for the Balance of the Year for only 10 Cents. II“ there is one industry that’s a real necessity in this town now It is a good brick yard, and there seems no reason why some good enterpris- ing brickmaker should not start a business. and keep the trade at home. Hundreds of thousands of brick have been brought in here during the past two years, at prices anyway the cost of transportation higher than they would be if we had facilities at home. From present indications there will be a large amount of building done next summer in town and surround- ing country, and in advocating a brick yard we do so advisedly. \Ve understand there is plenty of clay in close proximity to the town, and the getting of suitable fuel will be no more difficult here than in most places. Let us have a brick yard. Rev. E. Caldwell came up from Burford, Monday, to spend a few days with friends and. relatives in this vicinity. We are pleased to see him looking so well.

Williams is back to town after a six months’ stay in Winnipeg looking as if she enjoyed Western life. THE GOING AND OOMING OF VISITORS IN THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER. a shoemaker, went into the hotel and had a few drinks. after which he sat down in a chair in the bar room. In a couple of hours later an attempt was made to wake him up when it was found that he was stone dead and had in all probability been dead for an hour or more. A post mortem is likely to follow, but at time of writ- ing we are not in possession of posi- tive information. He was a man of about seventy-five years of age, and having had for some time a premon- ition that he would drop off suddenly made provision for his burial, and as he had no relatives here communica- ted to one of his neighbors that the money would be found on his person which proved to be correct.
