For thirty years he has been an elder in the Presbyv terian church at Durham and his life is summed up in the remark we’ve heard so many say. “Mr. McNab was truly a good man.” In politics he was a Reformer. but broad in his views. The funeral on Saturday was one of the largest that has ever wended its way from the neighbor- hood. The pall bearers were all brother elders of the kirk. A short. impressive service was held at the house by Rev. Mr. Farquharson, who will hold a memorial service in the church on the 15th inst.

The Town Council should be ready to pay damages or stop the Lacrosse business on the streets. 1n busy times a fellow needs to move fast enough to be distinguish- able without putting up a stake to see whether he’s going or not.

A BAD CASE OF ASTHMA. Mrs. George Budden. Putuamville, Ont... suys:-“ I feel it my duty to recommend Dr. Chase’s Syrup of Linseed and Turpen- tine. as I had the Asthma very bad; could get nothing to do me any good. A friend of mine persuaded me to try this remedy. as he had tried it. and it proved successful. I tried it. and it cured me. I am thankful to-day to say 1 am a well woman through the use of this remedy. I keep it in the house all the time. and would not be with- out it.” The Hanover Lacrosse Boys were over Friday evening last to play a friendly game with our boys on the grounds here. They tried their strength a couple of weeks ago and found themselves so equally mated that the score at the end of the game was one each, and neither of the teams could claim to be the winner. The match last. week terminated with similar results. one goal each being again the score. The game was to consist of an! hour’s playing exclusive of stoppages,‘ time being called at the end of each quarter. The first, second and third quarters were called and still there wasn’t a point made by either team, and it was thought the end would come without scoring. But it wasn’t so. At the end of fifty minutes the ball was sent through the Han- over goal by Doug. Munro, and an exultant cheer proclaimed a victory for the home team. This was the turning poxnt and the game: might have remained with Durham if the boys had only the forethought to guard their goal instead of aggres- sively trying to gain another point. In about three minutes. however, the ball slipped between the Durham flags and the Hanover contingent took a hand in cheering the visitors They had now one each, and for the remaining two or three minutes a fierce struggle ensued to gain another point, but without avail and the game remained a tie. The game was an exhibition of good clean playing. but, from first to last our boys gave evidence of more skill in handling the Sticks. Another match will be arranged for soon, and we hope that all future contests may be carried out. in the same friendly spirit but with the Durham boys on top. 1900 For Rainfall for the week in. 0.68.
