l. M. Mckenzie while shoeing horse,
when cutting off the end of the horseshoe

d.. Halldorson is back home making
to move his family and eff
fects to Souris. We all regret his re.
moval from among us. He is fine fel-
low, and successful practitioner. He
has the genius, SO largely developed in
Or. {. B. Harris of Pembina, of quickly
and correctly diagnosing case and thus
getting sure thing at the beginning
when called in. We all hope to hear
tidings of success for the doctor at Souris.
The very many friends and acquain,
tances of Ed. H. Holiday, son Of Mr..
and Mrs. F. A. Holiday of this place,
feel as personal loss his death which
occurred on Friday the 21st, at his home
on the farm in Park township at the early
age of u years, after only a few days ill
ness from appendicitis. DR.. Suter of
Crystal, assisted by DR.. Countryman Of
grafton, performed an operation some
hours previous, but the disease had pro-
crossed SO far that an operation was of
no avail. Ed. came to this county with
MS parents from Carlton Place, Canada,
when 5 or 6years Of age and has lived
continuously in the home where he died,
ma wing come into possession of it through
his father, F. A. Holiday, and his sue
cess in financial way, has through hon
est dealing, been more than ordinary and
must be regarded as an encouragement
o any young man who aspires to make
home for himself and lay by something
or rainy day. If spared in life no one
n this section of the county was more
generally and favorably known than Ed.
and his removal from among
is SO suddenly, is felt by all as a personal
oss, and almost untimely. Much kind
goes out for the three father
ess children and the young widow left
0 mourn kind, considerate, genial and
owing companion. The funeral occurred
N the 23rd from the late home to the
BAPTIST church at Crystal and was laid to
est in the Crystal cemetery. 1t is safe to
ay that it was the largest funeral that has
AIKEN place in Crystal for years, which.
ut Slightly manifested the, deep esteem
nd respect all had for poor Ed. Holli-
ay.
