The Late John Priestley Death came suddenly to Mr. John Priestley of Maxwell on Saturday evening, March 7th, and his passing came as a great shock to his many friends throughout the district. He was 44 years of age. He had teen ailing for a couple of years, but had recently been in much better health. His death, due to a heart attack, oc- curred at his home in Maxwell, shortly after he had returned home from visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Priestley, who reside a mile east of Maxwell. The late Mr. Priestley n ad been a resident of Dun- dalk for 12 years, and last fall moved to a farm he had purchased at Maxwell. The late Mr. Priestley was united in marriage 14 years ago to Sadie McLeod, who now survives to mourn his passing. He also leaves, besides his aged parents, three brothers; Allan of Fort William, Robert of To- ronto, and George of Maxwell, and by three sisters, Lillian (Mrs. Louis Kerton) and Pearl (Mrs. Geo. Long) both of Maxwell, and Annie (Mrs. Chester Cameron) of OWCTI Sound. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. E. M. Cnldwell of Dunrlalk. Interment was made in Maxwell cemetery. Blessed is the man who can get money without letting money get him. Mrs. W. E. Morgan was a recent visitor in Toronto.

Allen, who has been ill for the past two months, part of the time in hospital, has so far recover- ed that he was able- to be home over the week end. We were sorry to know that Mrs. H. Down suffered a heart attack at the home of her son, Bob, at Mark- dale, but we are pleased that she is improving nicely. The storm this week has played havoc with the schedule of the rural routes and very few budgets of cor- respondence reached The Advance office on Tuesday, hence were not available for this issue. Mrs. Firman Irish held a success- ful sale of household effects on Sat- urday afternoon, with W. Kaitthig wielding the hammer. Thursday last Mr. Gordon Long also held n success- ful sale with Jack McAlixter as auc- tioneer.
