Erwoarn LEAGUE soc [AL. â€"The y oung people of the Epworth League of Christian Endeavor here enter- tained their friends Monday evening in the Methodist Church. The room was frag1ant with flowers and the arrangement of the furnishings pre- sented an inviting and homelike ap- pearance. The feature of the even- ing was the "Conversation” card, announcing the following topics. which engaged the attention of the young ladies and gentlemen, viz; -â€" (l) Cranks, (2) \Vheeling, (3) The last Book I read, (4) Sociability, (5')) Gossip, (6) The New Woman. One half hour was allowed to this part of the programme, after which refresh- ments were served and a musical and literary menu presented, consisting of music, recitations. and club-swing- ing. and a naper on the Epworth League by Miss Orchard. THE Mail and Empire, of Toronto, never does things by halves. Though conceded on all sides to have secured the very best war service, they were still determined to “go it one better,” and last week that facile and charm- ing writer, “Kit” whom so many have learned to know without the formality of an introduction through her racy articles in the “Woman‘s Kingdom.” was added to the corps of special correspondents, and despatch- ed to the seat of war. Though she will be forced for a time to abandon her former work, her charming liter- ary genius will be Spent in graphic- ally describing the scenes of battle. The Mail and Empire is bound to keep the lead. ing, trains leave Durham at 7:20 a. m. and 7 p. m., and arrive at.1:40 and 10:30 p. m. While it may be neces- sary for the convenience of the con- necting lines to have the arrival each day fifteen minutes later than for- merly, there seems no reason the morning train should leave so early. It is no convenience to the travelling public to leave at 7:20 a.m. merely to hang around Palmerston to await connections.

On Thursday evening a large number of Australian views were presented and eXplained bv MissCuininins. Friday evening’s address by Miss Vincent, entitled "The story of my life,” was in our humble opinion the best of the series and vividly portrayed the evils of using intoxicants in the home, as is too commonly done in England, where intemperate habits were formed by the speaker which led her to leave for Australia in order that, by a change of surroundings she might overcome the acquired appetite for strong drink. The attendance was not large but very appreciative. Mr. John Robertscn is vi ° ° parents, Mr. and Mrs. son. This once UNDER the auspices of the W. C. T. U. three illustrated temperance ad- dresses were delivered here last week by Misses Vincent and Cum- mins, of Australia. These gifted ladies were appointed as round-the- world lecturers at the (Donvention held in Toronto last full. Only three meetings have been arranged for in Grey County, viz.: in Durham. Mark- dale and Owen Sound. On Wednes- t'1°.tyevei'iin;,r last in the Methodist church, Mayor Calder in the chair, Miss Cummins delivered an interest- ing address on the work of the W. C. There seems to be general satisfac- tion over the action of the council in introducing a By-Law giving citizens the privilege of building.,r sidewalks on the “Frontage system,” now be- coming generally adopted in so many of our Canadian towns. No doubt there will be some Opposition; there was opposition in Mt. Forest but. be- fore the first contract was completed some of the opponents were calling out for “granolithic” and with the the result that both sides of their principal business thoroughfare en- joys as good sidewalks as can be seen in our principal cities, and that, too, without beinga burden to the tax- payer. The desire for good side walks in Mt. Forest has become al- most a mania and now even the back streets are petitioning for the Driv- ilege of participating in the benefits of the system. There seems to be no valid reason why Durham. this year. should nOt make a good start, and time will not be long till our old “corduroy breaknecks” will all give place to something more substantial. con views was delivered by Rev. Mr. VVestgate in Trinitv Church. The Rev. gentleman intends next year to go as a missionary to South America and there to spend his life in evan- gelical work. The illustrations em- braced views of South America, Africa, Persia, China, Japan and our Canadian North West. One very striking feature of the address was the fact that in our own country is to be found as low a type of human- ity, apparently. as in any other part of the world The attendance was not. large, being interfered with, per- haps, by counter attractions previ- ously decided upon.

The Gazette-Review, Parkhill, says “W. J. Fairgrieve, has a number of Indian relics found near Grand Bend comprising arrow heads, skinning instruments, etc. These relics are interesting though. they do not indicate as much profici- ency in arms as is exhibited in the war between the United States and Spain, yet these arrow-heads would be quite dangerous enough when sped from the how of the athletic red man . Mr. Fairgrieve has also a sample of gold quartz which was taken from rock on the way to Klondike.-Herald. Many bereavements have befalleu the Harrison family of Chesley.
