Experiences seldom read of, and
never heard directly from the n who
has experienced them, were told by
the Rev. Harrabellio Aleckamousa
Marangeopa at the mems meeting on
last Sunday afternoon. His life from
the very beginning, when found in a
hut on the island of Mauritus, Mozam-
bique channel, among fourteen dead
bodies, has been one of unusual *
periences. Although born in a heath
en- land he received thorough train
ing in the public schools of Manches-
ter, Lancanshire, England. Having
been fitted for missionary work
through this training he returned to
his native land for service. Here he
was captured by a wild tribe and held
in captivity for three years; later he
crossed the Sahara Desert on foot,
was robbed and beaten by Bulgarian

Another Aged Pioneer Called

The death of Mrs. McGregor, Sr.,
aged eighty-seven years, at the home
of her daughter, Mrs Hector Mckay
near Langdon, occurred Tuesday even
ing, the end having been anticipated
by the family for some little time
past, and due to the deceased's gene
rally enfeebled condition and ex-
treme old age. Mrs. McGregor was
one of the early pioneers of the east
ern part of the county. but for some
time previous to the death of her
husband, a few months ago had re.
sided with relatives of the family in
Walhalla. The remains are being
taken there for interment, it being
expected that the funeral will take
place this afternoon.
