(x; Very shortly after the Municipal election in Durham a rather curious crusade was taken into consideration presumably With the intent of re- redeeming anti-election promises. The outcome of it all was that a caravan of moonlighters moved east. It is not mentioned whether they followed “ a star in the east ” but it it cannot be denied they had a “real star ” with them as they journeyed along under the silent cover of dark- ness. That good times are just on the eve of return is believed by even the most inveterate grumblers. In var- ious ways may this be noted, but principally in the boom of real estate, and just as at Rossland hon 5- es here are in great demand by tenants seeking “ fresh fields and pastures new.” Miss Ray Benn, of Newbridge, wili be a guest of Miss Jennie Doupe for a few days. Mr. Alex. Mc Cormack is having a good time on his visit here.

Beaton he visited the County Capital for a couple of days last week. \Vhen the two Sandies go in for a good time happy it is for those who are there to enjoy it with them. The many friends of genial Tom Lawrence will be sorry to hear of of his troubles in the glen. That Tom has changed very much in ap- pearance no one who sees him can doubt for a moment. Only his most intimate friends can at all recognize him at firSt sight.

He doesn’t want us to tell why he did so for if we said he is seriously meditat- ing matrimonal latters and had three girls in his mind’s eye and these three stand about even in his esti- mation, and that he is determined to sacrifice even his mustache if it can be the means of determining which will make the sweetest companion with the sweetest and most amiable disposition. \Vhy if we told that everybody would know.
