DEYMAN. .;,.â€"~-,_,. w- ’l‘he Fenelcn Falls Gazette. Friday, Sept. 1st, 1905. THE WAR IS OVER. At last, and almost unexpectedly, we have th‘cjoyful news that the war in the East has come to an end. It is said that “ the Emperor of Japan, respond- ing to the dictates of humanity and civ- ilization, has, in a spirit of perfect con- ciliation, and in the intersts of peace, waived the question of reimbursement of war expenses, and has consented to a division of the island of Sakalin upon terms which are mutually acceptable, thus making it peasible to bring the im- portant work of the peace commission to a successful issue." And so ends the long and bloody struggle, in which, from beginning to end, Japan has been vic- torious upon both land and water, and which has taught ltsssia a lesson she in not likely to soon forget. Words def Praise. Among the recent guests at the Hotel Kawartha were Rev. F. Campbell, of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Dr. Gilmeur, Warden of the Central Prison, Toronto, and their wives, and we are pleased to report that both gentlemen speak in the highest terms of the hotel, its manage- ment and its cuisine. Mr. Campbell told us personally that the rooms were elegantly furnished and scrupulously clean, that Mr. Brown was a model host. and the table all that could be wished ; and Dr. Gilmdur said that he knew of only two summer hotels in Ontario that could compare with the Kewartha. On Monday some of the guests went fish- ing in Cameron lake "and were delighted with the result, as they caught eight ’lunge, the largest of which weighed 17 pounds, with most of the others between 8 and 12 pounds. The favorable re- ports of the Hotel Kawcrtha given by this year’s guests in their respective circles will do it a great deal of good, and we expect that next year it will be well filled. Ordinary advertising is well enough in its way, but what a house wants to make it popular is open-_ ly and earnestly expressed approvals‘by those who have patronized it,'. and that is what the Hotel Kawartha new has. Verulam Council. Council met at Bobcaygeon on Aug. 23rd, the recve J. J. Dcvitt, Esq, in the chair, and councillors G. Brooks, E. Tiers, D. McFarland and W. Hether- ington present.

The eldest of the three girls, Miss Jones, is about 145, and.the other two are much younger. Their success awakened a spirit of em- ulation in the breasts of other young-- store, and a number of boys and girls re~ solved that they, too, would help the sick children, so they gave a garden party at Mr. George Wilson's on Monday even- ing, and the sum of $9.10 over all ex- penses was realized. Well done, “ kids.” You could n’t devote your youthful one orgies to a better party. I ~»m‘-=.s‘,.m.....~_.. _ . . 4...”, ., 'msfivm - r ...___...__..._._.“4.,..,.‘.‘ ....... .. .. ._... . é:.&ow)~M.
