From every point of view-- dinner, talks and general exchange nounced success. The immediate reason of this feast of good things, gastronomic and otherwise, was to make it the oc- casion to present a tokem of esteem to one of the faithful workers of the town, 'Mr. Jos. Stoutt. It -is-one of the facts of life that has to be faced, that prosperity and luxury do not benefit all alike. We who are enjoy- ing the installation of Hydro hail it as a boon; but it automatically cuts off Mr, Stoutt's daily occupation, and much as the Council regret to lose him as a permanent and most willing employee of the town, theywere com pelled to end this relationship. It seemed most fitting that some re cognition of Mr. Stoutt's faithful service should be made at this time, and he was présented with a hand- some chair. Of course this does not mean that Mr. Stoutt will not find work with the Electrics Light and Water Department; but he has ceased to be the presiding genius at the powerhouse. Many of the gentlemen present spoke on municipal matters during the evening, and there was a very evident desire to do all that can be done to improve conditions in Port Perry. . Among the matters of discussion the absolute necessity for improve- | ments at the town hall occupied a central place. From a point of safety and sanitation many changes should be made,and delay in carrying out the work might be extremely: ex- pensive, much more expensive than This summer will the town hall , PE, into hose were "days of the Bible | tians, a denomination that was| ntually merged with the Metho- x Mrs Hern was an active 'worker in that church, and later| "| joined the Methodist here. . rs.

Many months passed by; the patient was convalescent, Then the blow fell. The chief clerk suicided and the so- licitor learned that his all was gone. He was broken in purse and broken in health, and the one so reacted on the other that he never regained either. As a bull is necessary to a dairyman, so a power of attorney may be necessary to a business man, But both should be well fenced. One plan is to appoint two attorneys, with power neither to act without the other. Then you have two chances f getting an agent who is honest and will stay honest.
