Robt. Parslow^ H. B. McLean, Dan Camp- bell, Colin McLean, Ray McLean, El- mer Watson, Malcolm Mclnnis and .A.Iex. Carson. There was a fine dis- play of flowers that bore mute tes- timony to the esteem in which the deceased was held. The contributions of this neighbor- hood towards the Bible Society amounted to $21.00 without very much special effort being put forth. Without a doubt this is better than more pretentious places. We could wish it better still. A fine coating of ice was being made on the open air rink last week but the stox-m of Saturday night has left a covering: of snow of various depths. Very discouraging.
