Gome and cheer for your home team, SKIDS INTO DITCH While driving from Newcastle to Orono on Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Cecil Mercer, M.P.P. for Durham Oo-unjty, had a narrow escape at Dean’is Corner when hits car skidded at the turn and crashed into the ditch, turning over on its top. Mr. Mercer escaped with a severe shaking up, while the roof of the car was bad- ly dented, also the left doors. The ear was brought to Mercer’s garage at Orono, and later Mr. Meteor pro- ceeded on Ms way. This is a bad corner for driving even in summer let alone winter with ice and snow on the road, and the province or county should do something about it, as there are many accidents happen at this particular spot in the road, being the worst place between Newcastle and 1 .i nds.iy.

We had the same thing here before Bow- man ville took over hydro. I was somewhat against it until I had it explained to me by wiser heads who knew, and then I •wee all for it. You will eventually have to take It over, so Why not now, do not lose a. year or so to put it oyer. lAiwtiiiiii • ville is well satisfied and every other town that has done so, Port Hope for one, What are the people thinking of. Yours sincerely, . - W. J. Marty». 'Mrs, G. G. Armstrong is having her general store re-decorated with a fresh coat of paint which will bright- en the store up considerably. ISN’T IT THE TRUTH ? The following verses are found on an actual occurrence in one of our city churches : A young man, sitting behind two young ladies was forced to listen to their criitnkn'sim of the different ladies’ costumes present. When he went home he composed the following ver- ses : j Is their a time when women fair, Forget their ruling passion ; And talk of any other thing E'x'cept the latest fashion. ’Tils ever foremost in their minds, In church, ait home, or walking ; No place is sacred to the sex When on this subject talking. Last evening to church I went And throughout all the service, Two Sadies ? chatted quite content. Till I was pained and nervous. The preacher opened with a prayer And offered up Thanksgiving, And as he prayed I wondered if This life was worth the living. He next announced the opening hymn Hymn number ninety-seven1; I wondered if those chatting girls Would raise their voices to Heaven. The organ played the well known tune The church with music filling, I listened, to the following chat While the choir the hymn were trilling. Jesus, lover of my soul, 1 low do you like that bonnet; Let roe to thy bosom fly, Too many flowers on it. . While the nearer waiters roll, Rook at that pretty frilling ; While the tempest stall is high I think it's just too killing. Hide me, oh my Saviour, hide, Fill have a blouse just like that, Till the storm, of life is o’er !I think that I would make it. Safe into the haven guide, I wonder where she bought it; Oh, receive my soul at last I’ll ask her where she got it.

Because this has been too often overlooked, it is difficult for governing bodies to avoid giving way to sectional de- mands,” he declared. Mr. Fred Bowen, Newcastle, and M. E, Maybee, Woo 1er, responded to the toast. “Never before has Canada needed more manly men and woman- ly women,” Mr. Bowen stated. -Major J. F.
