Dated at Egremonb this 7th day of May, 1907. Again it is our sad duty to chron- icle the death of anOther of our mosc respected and honored citizens in the person of Mrs. Richard Irvine who was called home at 1 o’clock a.m., on the 24th of May, at the age :of thirty five years. About a year agoshe became somewhat ill. but her illness was nor. considered ser- ious, but ere long it was clearly manifest that she was a victim of the “white man’s plague.” Her physican advised her to take a trip to the weat, which she did, but this only seemed to intensify her weakness. The very best medical attendance and nursing could not stay the ravages of this de- ceptive disease. Her maiden name was Permilia Main, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Main of Summerberry Sask. She was born on the farm on which she died. She was married to her now bereaved husband about thirteen years ago. The funeral took place on Sunday and her remains were laid to rest in the Reid ceme- tery the services being conducted by her pastor Rev. G. S. Cassmore assist ed by Rev. J. Little Presbyterian minister. She was aware that the endwas fast approaching and made some arrangements about her funeral service selecting the hymns to be 1used also choosing the pall bearers.1 J.

Victoria Day passed 0E very quietly in our burgh. A foot-ball game had been arranged with the Sangeen Valley team but they fail- ed Lo put in an appearance. How- ever a very interesting game of baseball Was played between two picked teams. The annual entertainment under the auspices of the Holstein Public Library was held in the hall on the evening of Victoria Day. and proved a great success. The services of the Carey Bros. had been secured and all pronounced it the best entertain- ment ever held here. Their songs were well rendered and illustrated. Their moving pictures were really excellent.and proved quite amusing and instructive. Should they re- turn we believe they would be greeted with a full house. The proceeds amounted to $70. , The Town Fathers convened a meeting of the villagers last Satur- day to discuss the extension of the sidewalks and other improvements of the streets. Nothing definite was arrived at. Mrs Deering, of B.antford. Spent a. few days lately with he: nephew, Rev. G. S. Cassmore, of the Mothe- dist Church here.
