St. Bathans.

Quite a gloom was cast over this small community on Thursday, .the 23rd, by the very sudden death of Miss Maggie Dillon, daughter of Mr and Mrs Stephen Dillon, very old and respected residents of this township. The deceased had only been ailing for a few days and no one suspected the end was so near. She was of a bright, cheery and kindly disposition and was beloved by all who knew her. The fanera!. which took place on Saturday, in the* 1 " midst of a heavy snow-storm, was very largely attended, amongst the mourners being deceased's teacher, Miss Hutton. and fellow popils. The Rev. Father O'Dea conducted the funeral services in a most solemn and impressive manner. The utmost sympathy of all is extended to the sorrowing father, mother, brothers, sisters and other relatives in their sad bereavement. August 27th, 1917.
