Also a lot of DRESS GOODS at about half price THE EDITOR TALKS We were given a "chill" last Saturday when we read in The Daily Review of Peterboro the anticipations of the editor so far in advance of the date of the event and so reminiscent of the old back-log fireplace: Now we gather round the fare As the flames leap high and higher, And we watch for ghosts and witches, Stories tell of love and riches, So we keep our Halloween. The Orillia Packet funny man is forever forever poking fun at newspapers and their editors out here, at the front.of civilization. civilization. But occasionally he makes some sensible suggestions. Here is; one of his latest squibs : "The Bowmanville STATESMAN STATESMAN is looking anxiously for the owner of a sum of money lately found. But if you lost yours in a gold mine or a Sa skate he wan sub-division you need not apply. Durham county folk have more sense than to invest in either. GETTING THE SPIRIT OF THE BUSINESS. "Modern Tendencies In. Education.' Young men often fail because they do not enter into the real spirit of their work. The man who works for salary alone is worth much less to an employer than one who catches the spirit of his work and enjoys enjoys it. One secret of success ihen is getting getting into the spirit of yoür work. The spirit is that which gives life and movement movement to anything. The hope of the farmer, farmer, the vision of the stock-raiser, some achieve;! ents aimed at, some skill to be acquired by the worker--these feelings and motives afford the enjoyment and benefit. If we cannot enter into the spirit of whatever we are doing it is dead so far as we are concerned. But if we enter into into it we reproduce in ourselves the same quality of life which called that object whatever it is into existence. Our Stock of Winter Goods is too big and must be cleared The young man or woman who grows up in a community and is.not sufficiently interested in its associations, people, its organizations and its affairs in general to subscribe to a local paper to carry the news to them is lacking in normal human conditions. Something is vital!? wrong with them. It is not natural. They, are either ignorant or indifferent and both conditions are equally bad. "Why should I take your paper when I go away from my old home ? " asks a sourdough. Because Because a person who amounts to anything is naturally interested in all happenings near their old home. A man once said a person who is not interested in his home surroundings hasn't brains enough to be interested in anything of importance. This may be an extreme view but it may De taken for near-truth that the person who has no special regard for his home and those whom he leaves there when he goes out to make a home somewhere else is devoid ot some of the virtues that make a fully rounded individual. We do not hink there are many such persons. Johnston & Cryderman Get Your House Wired At ONCE We Pay 20 Per Cent of the Cost THERE ARE AT LEAST 200 citizens of Bowmanville Bowmanville who want Electric Lights in their "Somes. To get these people regular customers of ours we are making THIS SPECIAL OFFER No Better Time We believe that a larger per cent of the people in West Durham read one or other of The James Papers than many other cal papers have. No one is coerced to takeLpur papers, either. They take our paper because we tell them weekly about the events and movements of people in whom they are interested. We publish the births, marriages, deaths and personal, social and other community happenings. We tell about the improvements,property sales, building opérations; give the factory, factory, shop, church, school and fraternal societies news--everything Vc't goes K> make up the sum-total of tne'hie of this town and surrounding districts. Perhaps no other paper in Canada devotes as much attention to the Success of the boys and girls after they leave their homes as ours do. We desire to make known to achievements achievements of all who do well in life. It is a pleasure to us to make mention of all such and everybody in a community enjoys reading they know We need not repeat the aim of he publisher to give all the home news fit to print. When we miss an event the reason is that particulars have not reached us. We must necessarily necessarily depend on others for the information --editors are not omnicient. To make our meaning clearer, suppose dear reader, that you are .working in an industry or business establishment. You cannot work there long bèfore you catch the spirit of that concern which pervades the entire organization. - Call it personality personality if you will. Even an observant stranger will in a few minutes . notice the peculiar spirit or characteristic that attracts attracts the eye or impresses the observer. What is this condition that we call spirit ? It is the spirit of the originator of that business, tempered and flavored by the united efforts, presence, operations and behavior of the entire staff of workers. The combined business family so to speak creates with the head of the concern the spirit of that organization. Here is another another point we desire to make. The head, the director, the man highest in authority has an important part in creating creating the personal atmosphere or tone of the place. The individuality of the man of power acts upon the individuality of every one of his associates and where the right feeling prevails between employer and employed or master and helpers the individuality individuality of each of his associates in that concern inevitably reacts upon him. Hence there is under proper conditions a feeling of mutual confidence and real reciprocity. reciprocity. . The result of all this composite individuality or ming ing of character creates thé spirit of that particular business. business. We hope we have made this clear. Dr. James L. Hughes, Toronto, one of Durham County's cleverest sons, was guest of the Canadian Club on Tuesday evening at its monthly banquet provided by the ladies ot the Hospital Auxiliary in St. Paul's lecture hall. There was a good attendance. The Vice-President, Mr. W. B. Couch, was in the chair and paid a fitting fitting eulogy to the laté President, Rev. T. W. Jolliffe, who died on January 22. Mr. C. M. Cawker and Mr. W.F. Allen J. P., moved that a resolution of sympathy be transmitted to Mrs. Jolliffe. The motion was carried. The chairman introduced Dr. Hughes in a happy speech in which he paid a high tribute to him as one of Canada's Canada's most advanced educationists and one of our county boys whose name has long been a household word. He was pleased too to find him so vigorous and looking so well after such a long strenuous life. After a brief reference to "The good old days" when the families of Frances McLean, Andrew McFeeters and John Hughes were bound by happy social ties and, to some early days at Solina, he launched into into his subject--"Modern Tendencies in Education"--and for over two hours held his audience spell bound We . hope to find space for the substance of his lecture in our next issue as we cannot get it into type for this issue. At the close Dr. J. B. Dandeno, M. A., moved and Dr. W. E. Tilley, M. A., seconded a hearty vote of thanks to Dr. Hughes for his instructive instructive and masterful address. VERY SUDDEN DEATH Rev. Thos. J. Mansell, Peterboro, Passes Away; Citizens of this town and especially tho§e who attended the Thank-offering services in the Bowmanville Methodist Church December 7, will be shocked to léarn that Rev. T. J. Mansell, pastor of Charlotte-st. Methodist Church, Peterboro, who preached so acceptably here on day, passed away suddenly Sunday ing from heart failure after his from service.

We want to talk about newspapers. There are local The pride of every member of that establishment establishment when centered on making manifest the true spirit will help to produce produce the greatest power and efficiency which spells success and prosperity in that business. Here we hope to make clear another point--the personal influence of the chief directing mind. Just as the electric electric current may be used for good or evil so may the"power that eminates from this person beused for the good or evil of those daily associated with him. If some scheme for hidden dishonesty is practised or misrepresentation misrepresentation engaged in or falsehood used used to effect sales the influence on all concerned concerned will be bad. But if honesty of purpose purpose and strict truthfulness are insisted on and the Golden Rule principle always to be observed the influence that flows out from that institution will be for good and correct correct habits will be formed and the spirit ot the business will be recognized by those who have to do with it. But the chief satisfaction will be to those who are associated associated with it, those who all together individually and collectively give that business its high character, for in their composite capacity by using their efforts and influence rightfully they have become stronger personally and in time become papers and local papers. This real "^fified by living'the active and whole local paper. Our editors are not concern much about the wide--wide world ed events. The big metropolitan newspapers serve up the big world's news. A local Daper published the news of its own town and nearby country districts. One country country editor we know refuses to accept pews from country correspondents. He says write nonsense • and tittle-tattle. they In or our near some spirit of that particular business become heads of similar businesses their own. to of That's a matter of education, opinion events occurring in Tyrone, Haydon, Enniskillen, Solina, Enfield, Enfield, Blackstock, Nestleton, Hampton, Courtice, Maple Grove, Providence, Dar- lington,-Shaws, and other places in West Durham are equally as important as events happening right in Bowmanville. As proof of our belief we frequently hold over what, we write to make room country news when our columns are crowded. Country news gets the ri ht-of- way in this office. We appreciate-Jhe effort effort of our associate editors in the outlay- here. ing districts and when they make effort to get news to this office we are. going to make effort to publish it the-same In summing up the points we have endeavored endeavored to impress, more particularly on the minds of our young readers, we say in whatever occupation you are engaged, in country or in town, strive to catch the spirit of the business till it is a part of your being; make this spirit your very own and strive to exert all the power and influence you can command for the ad- vancement and prosperity of the whole business.

" ° w we add another warning word There is a danger in these days when sports get such a strong grip on young folk of being carried away by week, lure of the play and of the gamblers infest the scene of the contests, that their thoughts dwell far more during their working hours on sports than on business. The whole drift of their - conversation in the àrena of their labors, at their meals, in their social gatherings 'is on sports, and the sporting pages in the daily papers are about all they read. The true spirit of business is sacrificed to the intense enthusiasm enthusiasm for sport and this is where The evils of too much sport are manifested. wholesome sport as well for several days but few realized during the delivery of an earnest discourse from the words, "And He shall come to judge tne quick and the dead." Upon reaching the parsonage he felt ill and laic down. Medical help was summoned, but he passed away in about an hour. He was well known and his death will be a severe loss to the cause for which he labored labored so faithfully. He came from Brantford Brantford to Peterboro but had labored principally principally in the Montreal Conference and had filled most efficiently the various offices of the church and Conference. Deceased Deceased was born in Almonte and was the third son of the late Isaac Mansell. He received his early'education at Almonte, after which he attended Victoria College in Cobourg. In l88l he was united in marriage to Miss Jessie Ault, daughter of the late S. XV. Ault, of Moulinette, near Cornwall. The union was blessed by three children, two sons and one daughter. daughter. The latter predeceased her father during his pastorate in Brockville. The sons are Robert Dow Mansell, of Martin- ville, Indiana, and Charles A. Mansell, of Cincinnatti, Ohio. The funeral service took place Wednesday at 2 p.m. at Charlotte-st. Charlotte-st. Church the interment taking place at Moulineite. The Peterboro Examiner Examiner pays the following tribute editorially to the life of deceased: The sudden death of. Rev. T. J. Mansell, pastor of the Charlotte-st. Charlotte-st. Methodist Church, is a great shock to his family, his flock, and the citizens citizens generally, for in all th se relations he was the embodiment of one s highest conceptions of a Christian father, Christian Christian minister, Christian gentleman, as robust, well poised, upstanding and dignified dignified in character as in person and bearing. As a minister he was a good preacher and pastor, earnest about his Master's business to the exclusion of all other interests not directly bearing upon it. He was faithful unto death, for he, almost literally, ' died in harness" and passed directly from the battlings of the church militant to the glories of the church triumphant--ripe for the subject of his last pulpit sermon, the great judgment; and as human wisdom sees, ready tor and worthy of the promise. "Be thou faithful unto death and 1 will give thee a crown of life". One can con- ceive no more glorious euthanasia than so quick a call from the labor of harvest to eternal rest.
