titled to the high esteem in which the

The services were most Impressive
pastors Barnard and Webb speaking
words of sympathy appropriate to the
sad occas ion. The floral tributes were
extensive and beautiful and the inter

upper plain cemetery.
We are pleased to make the follow
ing correction in regard to the item re
lating to the making of noise in Oul
streets last week Thursday morning,
as the OPINION does not Intentionally
misrepresent the conduct of any per
son or persons:
''The wedding party made no noise
whatever after leaving Mr., Barron
Peckett's until they reached the depot
as they had learned of the death OF
Miss Nye. They do not deny but
what they had good time at the sta
ton but considered it perfectly proper
as it was outside the village limits anC
beyond the hearing of Mr.. Nye's resi-
dence."
