IN MEMORY OF MRS. WATSON HALL

IN MEMORY OF MRS. WATSON HALL
 The hearts of all were ssddened by the sudden death of Mrs Watson Hall which occurred Friday, Nov 18th. AL though she had been in feeble health for several years no one supposed that she was SO bad until she was stricken with liver and heart trouble two weeks before her death. Mrs Hall was born in Sharon 40 years ago whore she lived until she married Mir Hall when she came here to live, and has since lived. She was always happy and pleasant to meet. Her home was good place for g social gathering to have the best of fun. Although she had the best of nursing and medical aid to restore one so much needed in the community and home. truly sad it seems thst the wife and mother ia the prime of life should be called home SO early. Her funeral was largely attended. and was conducted by the Rev. Mir Smith of Cornwall Bridge, who spoke comfort ing words to the relatives and friends The beautiful and numerous flowers sent iu by friends show the high esteem in which she was held. Almost within a stones throw of the home, her re mains were tenderly laid to rest with many tear to await the eternal home coming, where trials and sorrows are unknown.
 Miss Helen Harrison, of New Haven, visited friends in this place last week Rev D. M. Pratt, of the Winston churh, Portland, Me, preached very interesting sermon Sunday to large audience. Mir Pratt is one of Corn walls young men.
