the twinkling of an eye. He was as
sisting at a machine that was not his
work but fitting the place of another
shop-mate. moulding machine
knife loosened from its fastenings and
| flying with great velocity from the ma
chine hit Mr. Mattison and instantly
caused his death. Mr. Mattison was
the sexton of our church. We were
all greeted with his genial face every
Sunday unless sickness prevented. He
was consistent Christian. and a
member of this church as we'll as of
the community. He leaves a stricken
family, wife, three sons and three
daughters, and one brother. Alfred
Mattison. He has been cut down in
middle life, not always in the best of
health, but usually about some kind of
work. The family have the sincere
sympathy of the community. All are
ready to go to the stricken one with
helping hands and aid in any way
that they can. All that they need is
the Christian sympathy and feeling
hearts, and helpful hands in this
