Died:
The late Mr. James Cowie.
The festivities of New Year's Day were at their height in town when the death was announced of Mr. Jas. Cowie, after less, than a week's illness from inflammation of the lungs. Many of our towns men had scarcely heard of his illness, and the sad news came as a shock to them, and cast a gloom over the town. Mr. Cowie took cold while driving to Carleton Place, on Christmas, and it developed rapidly, ending in what is known as broncho-pneumonia. Everything possible was done to avert a fatal termination - Dr. Wright, of Ottawa, being called in, in addition to the local physicians?but medical skill and the most assiduous care proved of no avail, and on Wednesday forenoon the spirit went out to its Maker.
The late Mr Cowie was in his 41st year. Few men in the district were better known, his business taking him all over Eastern Ontario. He was proprietor of the Al-monte pump factory and agent for Patterson and Bros., agricultural implement manufacturers. He was a pushing business man, and took a warm interest in the affairs of the town, occupying the position of councillor for a time.
Five young boys and one girl, with the mother, survive to mourn the loss of a kind hearted and devoted parent and husband, and they have the earnest sympathy of our townspeople generally in their irreparable loss.
