She had been at church the previous day and was about tho house as usual Monday, when about 4.30 she was stricken with a paralytic stroke. from which she never rallied. It was brought on by high blood pressure and while not losing consciousness tor an hour or so, medical aid could prove of no a- vail, and she passed away at 2 mm. Tuesday. Mrs. J. Backus Died .

Mr. McDonald was " years or ago, son of the late John McDonald, near Dromore, a farmer and a horseman for many years. Some years ago he started a milk business near town and has been successful.

Neither the driver of the motor bus nor any or the tour passengers Were Injured. One ot the passengers was Miss Margaret McDonald or Durham, who was going to visit her brother in Guelph Hospital.

I When the wounded man was pink- ed up, it was seen he was critically injured with a deep cut in. top ol'heau and left our. Dr Bell was quickly on band, dressed the victim's injuries and rushed him to Durham Hospital, but he died en route before reaching Durham. His son John who remained in the car as driver, was uninjured, but the car was swerved around and made a wreck, three wheels being completely broken on. The motor coach had front springs broken and wheels buckled as a re- sult of the crash, and seeing he could not keep it.on highway, the driver steered it straight down west bank at right angle to road. Yestevday, Wednesday. at 5.30 p. m. Alex. McDonald, dairyman, was at- tending to his duties : in an hour he was dead, killed in a most shocking accident on the Provincial Highway. He, with his son John were on the way south to Wm. Eagle's. at toot of the hill north of Varney. They had just reached opposite the gate on east side of the ford, deceased got out of his open touring car to open the gate and his son started it across the road to turn in, when in one brief minute, the big south bound Arrow coach coming down the hill, struck McDonald's car, which in turn struck McDonald and knocked him 25 to 30‘ feet. l Alex.

Wednesday evening, in the Armories, Markdale, was a decided success. Rev. Mr. Little followed, speaking with deep feeling. He said he had not made a habit of landing the dead but that day was an exception. He referred to their marriage as the. first in his ministry and thought 'Dr Smith was blessed with the truest, noblest soul he ever met.' "She was a home-maker in the truest sense or the word, a wife and mother kind and true and a church worker ever faithful and ever watching tor new opportunities." Earth was poorer. Heaven richer by her passing and he commended her Borrowing ones to the God ot all comfort. The application of the story was' easily made and he made fitting no} logium of the deceased for her kindly! nature and her good works. "We! don't realize how large a. place in ourl heart they occupy until they are) Their marriage was the tirtst he sol- emnlzed in his ministerial carter, hence his presence was greatly apt, predated and to the chief mourners) and many old friends, his presence! with Re-v's w.

John Little or Eramosa, who began his ministry at Dornoch, and the friendship there begun with deceased and her husband hld grown brighter with the years. The funeral of the late Mrs (Dr.) J. L. Smith on Thursday last, was a great tribute to her memory as well as a. tribute of respect to dear ones surviving. Knox Church was filled with earnest people whose sincerity as aympathizers no one could doubt. Dornoch and neighborhood, where the best of her life was spent and where her best work was done, Were out in force. Rocky Sangeen and from alll sections ot Bentinck. numbers were) in evidence, and Durham citizens in large numbers also, paid the lust tribute. Funeral of late " J.

She was in- tensely devoted to the welfare of her children, and that tm received a good education to tit them for life's duties was largely attributable to her etu forts.
