Whewell, passed away at I Rochester, Minnesota, on Thursday, , .March lUst. For some time Mrs. Whewell had been patiently suffering ' and after a vi.iit to her relatives and friend.? in Eastern Canada, decided i to seek expert medical attention. She i started for Rochester March 14 and | underwent a serious operation March 2-1. News of the success of the op- eration and optimistic letters appar- 1 cntly dictated by the sufferer, reach- | ed her home, but a telegram dated : .March 31st stated that she had sud- ' denly passed away. The deceased, daughter of the late Charles and Hannah Stafford, and .lister of the late John Stafford, B.A., B. D., and Prof. Joseph Stafford, M. A., Ph. D., also Mrs. J. P. Ottewell of Flesherton, and Mrs. Wright of Max- well, was born in Artemesia Oct. 10, 1877. She married L. A. Whewell in iy08 and went immediately to Griffin, Saskatchewan,. The family moved to Ladner, B.C., in 191U, and six years afterwards returned to Griffin. Thus after two more years of faithful ser- vice the one greatly loved passed to her reward. The funeral of the late Mrs. Whe- well was held from the Griffin United Church. In spite of the inclemency of the weather and almost impassable roadj the seating capacity of the church proved greatly inadequate. The exceedingly large display of floral tributes, consisting of two Gates Ajar, Pillow, Anchor, and nu- merous wreaths and .sprays, indicated the esteem in which the deceased was held. Rev. William Huddleston, B.A., as.'^istcd by Rev. William Arnett of I'angnian. an old friend of the family, cdnductod the service. The quartette, "It i-3 well with my soul," greatly im- pre.s.5ed the mourners. The pallbear- ers were Messrs. Townshend, Bross- ard, Charleton, McDowell, Smith and Irwin. Among thc-.se who attended the funeral from afar were the foll- owing: Mrs. (Dr.) Ottewell Flesher- j ton, Mrs. Scarrow, Westminster, B.C., .Morvyn Wright, Maxwell. Ont.; Geo. Whewell and family, Walter Whewell and family, Mr. Workman and Mrs. Iladdow, all of Areola. Mrs. Whewell leaves to mourn her loss, her hus- l.and, L. A. Whewell; two sons, Ev- erett and Johnnie; two daughters, Myrtle and Minerva; two sisters, Mrs, (Dr.) Ottewell. Flesherton; Mrs. W.i. Wright, Maxwell; two brother-. Jas. and Charles Stafford, Flesh -ton. The whole community c :;tends its heartfelt sympathy to the sorrowing family, understandip';- that the child- ren of a 'teen ,t-(; need a mother's hand to direct n.id that little Johnnie, aged 8, will greatly miss his mother's love. Ellis visited with the former's par- ents at Feveraham. We are sorry to report Mr. McMullen ill. We extend our wishes for his speedy recovery. Mr. D. Weber spent a couple of days last week in Toronto. IN MEMORIAM Barley Will Be Field Crop Competitiou A meeting of the directors of East Grey Agricultural Society was held at the home of Mr. H. Freeman on Friday evening last, when the attend- ance of both male and female direc- tors was excellent. The President, Mr. R. Richardson, explained the rea- sons for calling the meeting, namely, to deal with the field crop competi- tion, and with the resignation of the Secretary, Mr. deCudmore, who has held that position for the past couple of years. It had been found necessary to change the Field Crop competition from mangolds, as decided upon, ow- ing to the fact that they were not listed. After considerable discussion barley O. A. C. No. 21 was chosen in nlace of mangolds. With regard to the resignation of Mr. deCudmore as Sec.-Treas. of the society, after discussing the question his resignation was accepted. So far a:5 Mr. deCudmore's secretarial duties we e concerned, he made an ideal Sec- retary. A number of names were mentione(|, but all declined. The President put the names to a vote and T. W. Findlay was made the unani- mous choice of the meeting. Mr. Findlay further declined, but after considerable pressure was brought to bear on him, consented to consider the matter for a few days, with the understanding that the directors would also try and look up some suit- able person to assume the duties. Be- fore â€" ^ing to press we have learned that no person has been located and Mr. Findlay has finally consented to take over the duties so ♦'rat the So- ciety will not suffer, r-^_ \ with the un- derstanding and n'- lise of the direc- tors that they • 'i stand by him and help make t^^ iOast Grey Fair the big success it ought to be. Mr. Findlay is not ' •• any means new at this work, hn'"- -' been Sec.-Trea.s. of Walters F ils Fair for a number of years 'â- rior to his removing from that place, and We hope, now that he has finally consented to assume the duties, that everybody will co-operate with him 'and let us all boost for East Grey Fall Fair.

DIED KIMBERLEY ..THE CIIINKSE QUESTION A propo.s of the di.scussion regard- ing Britain'.^ activity in Chiiui, the following appeared in tlic Toronto Mail and Km\nre last week; The American Consulatc-Ceneral in Shanghai niiidc liuldic a statement, signed liy 17 Ann-rican missionane-s, who were rLMiilciit:^ of Nanl^ing at the time of the outrages there, which ex- presses sympathy for tHic genume Chinese national aim.s but says that destructive infliicnce.s now are deter- minating the jx-licy of the Cantonese Government. The mis9ioi\aries affirm unequivo- cally that the oiilrages were commit- ed by armed Nationali.st Cantonese soldiers in uniform, who acted with the knowledge and approval of their superior officers. "These outrages," the statement says, "consisted not only in the loot- ing of foreign homes, consular offices schools, hospitals and places of bus- iness, but also in the burning of for- eign homes and «choob, deliberate murder, in the twice shooting and seriously wounding of a young Amer- ican woman, in shooting at and at- tempting rape of American women and other shocking indignities to foreign women too indecent to be made public." In another part of the statement the mis<<ionaric.< say: ''It Is our conviction that the firing of the naval vessels prevented the murder of many foreigners caught in the city." It was immediately af- ter the shelling began by the Amer- ican and Rriti.di .(hips that bugles were sounded and the soldiers ceased the systt-matic work of destruction, demonstrating that they were under control of higher mi!itnry officers. The«e are all incontrovertible facts. (Last Week's Items. We are afraid our nice weather is like a great many people these days, has a very bad cold.
