    • DEATH OF WILLIE GOODFELLOW

      After lingering between life and death for three weeks, little Willie Goodfellow passed away on Monday morning last. At one time since the accident, his friends thought there was a gleam of hope of his recovery, but they were doomed to disappointment. The terrible injuries received in his fall from the bridge, were such as to render recovery an impossibility. All regret that a bright little life has been cut short under such painful and distressing circumstances and the sincere sympathy of the community is extended to the sorrowing parents and family.
