A SAD TRAGEDY,

This community was shocked on
Thursday last by the news that Hubert
Bailey had shot himself while IN a
temporary fit of dependency. He
fired two bullets into his head. One,
supposed to be the first, entered his
ear and not proving fatal, the second
shot was near the temple, which after
about five hours OF Inconsistencies
caused death. Mr. Bailey was a hard
working, industrious man and a man
who attended strictly to his own bust.
ness and a good neighbor. He leaves a
wife, two sons and one daughter to
mourn his loss. They have the heart
felt sympathy of the entie community.
Mrs Bailey was under the DOCTORS care
at the time Of the tragedy and bad
weakened condition. The funeral was
held in the A. o. U. W. hall on Sun
day at 10 As, the order having charge
Of the exercises, Seth Chapman, Past
Master in charge. Rev @. H. Pickett
followed with remarks founded on the
words, LET not your heart be
troubled" making an impressive ad-
dress. The choir rendered the hymns,
Crock of Ages" and Sometime Wen
Understand" The closing prayer was
made by Rev Mr. Foster of Cornwall in
very touching manner. Burial was
in Kent Hollow cemetery, beside a lit
tie son, who was laid there only a few
years ago, reminding US of the hymn
"One by One We Cross the River"
Word was received on Saturday of
the sudden death of John Swanson,
caused by heart failure. With scarce
ly moments warning, another good
citizen and Brother of the A. o. U. W.
order has been called to the lodge on
high. Mr. Swanson and Mr. Bailey
both belonged to the same lodge and
both filled prominent places of trust in
the order. Again the brethren are
warned of the approaching end and the
beautiful watchwords, 'Charity, Hope
and Protection" for the dear ones who
are left to mourn their loss.
