Said a merchant Yesterday: 81 deem
it proper for the Board of Trade to
compromise the Buxton university
matter for 81, 900. If the matter drags
along in the courts, there is no telling
when settlement can be made. Two
thousand dollars is all that can be got
ten anyway, and $500 of that must be
spent for attorneys fees. ! think it
better TO lose $500 and have settle
ment at once, rather than wait an in
definite length of time. One thousand
dollars can be used very handily now.
There is the museum matter and many
other things where the money could

Another bright light has gone out
and sweet Annie PiXley is no more.
She died at the residence of her broth
erin law, Edwin Fulford, IN London.
The body was cremated and the ashes
taken by her husband, Robert NJ. Full
ford, who was with her throughout
her fatal illness, to London, Ontario,
where their son Roland, who died
seven years ago at the age of eleven,

was unquestioned and whose person
