PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TC
CHILDREN
1t is not generally known that
the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Children has officers liv-
ing in the towns but it is fact
and there are several cases that
they should look after without
having the newspapers put then
before the public. At the last
meeting of the Society, held in VIII.
mington, the following names were
chosen for vice-presidents: Keni
County James r. Lofand, Man.
love Hayes, Richard c. Dale, N. B
Smithers, George P. Fisher, j. w
Hall, T. B. Coursey, John H. Bate

UNUSUAL DOMESTIC
AF'FLICTION
There is much we might say, a
universal sympathy and interest in
the family of w. w. Nelson, which
is passing through serious vista
ton of aff1iction. The middle of
July last, Mrs. Nelson by a misstep
and a slight fall, injured her knee
joint, which injury seemed at the
time to be worse instead of better,
when the aid of physician was
called. Several weeks after this
there seemed to be a change for
the better and we SO announced,
with the prospect of her being re
stored to her wonted place in her
family, church and society. Her
condition grew worse and it was
to have additional surgi-
cal advice. The only thing that
could be of any help would be the
amputation of her leg which was
out of the question on account of
her age, thus any other remedy
would be little aid. The case is all
the more sad as Mrs. Nelson's aged
mother, Mrs. Ellen Jones, now less
than a month of her 98th birthday,
is lying in an adjoining room, too
feeble from the weight of years,
and worn out by recent illness, to
to her daughters comfort.
Mr.. Nelson has the profoundest
sympathy of all.
