Siowut. The annual meeting of the Presby- terian Sabbath School was held on Thursilay ensuing last. when much business was transacted and matters pertaining to the interests of the school were discussed. Officers were elected {or 1901 as follows: Mr. A. I. Gibson, Supt.; Mr. J. Felstead, Asst. Supt.; Miss Mary Neil. Sec.- Tteasq Miss Carrie Sullivan and Miss Janet Gibson, Librarians; Miss Hat~ tie Sullivan, Organist ; Teachers, Mr A. S; VsnDusen, (Bible class), Mr. J. Fshtead. Mr. Chas. Stewart, Mrs. J. Litonry and Mutual Improvement Society is the name of a local orga- and listened with great interest to Mr. Campbell. who imparted much information on making good roads. Where there is communtation of statute labor uniformity can best be secured, and Mr. Campbell recom~ mended classifying the roads lst, 2nd and 3rd. First. main or leading roads to be graded 24 feet between ditches; second, roads less travelled 20 Ieet between ditches; third. Others still less travelled 18 feet between ditches. - Mr. Campbell was confident that should Artemesia decide upon commutation of statute labor she would. after one year’s trial of the new system, have no cause to regret the change. Messrs. John Boland, chairman of the meeting, M. Richard- son. Donald McMillan and Samuel Pedlar were appointed a committee to confer with Artemesia council in drafting a By-law, on which the rate- payers may vote intelligently. The committee met with the council on Saturday last, but their work will not he completed until Wednesday evening this week. Mr. A. W. Campbell, Provincial Road Instructor, kept his engage- ment and delivered a very instructive address on the subject of road mak- ing in the town hall here on Tuesday evening last week. The turnout was not as large as the importance of the eubject demanded, nevertheless, a (air sized audience of representative farmers of the township was present The Canadian Annual or Xmas Number came to hand recently. It is neatly and attractively got up and is brimfull of pleasant and interest- ing stories. Thanks, Mr. Editor. Land is changing hands rapidly of late. Last week Mr. Jae. Laurenze, ofdAllan Park. purchased a farm near Latone from the McKechnie Bros. and his brother bought a farm furth- or south from Mr. '1‘. Bell. Rev. Dr. Smith last week received and accepted a call to Bradford in Barrie Presbytery and left for his future charge on Monday. The in- duction is to take place on the 27th. The people of Dornoch who have known Mr. Smith since infancy and have followed with unusual interest his labors as a missionary in both China and India, part with him sor- rowfully, though confident that he will faithfully serve his Master and that he will be an honor to the peo- ple of Dornoch in whatever sphere his life is cast. Something more than usual is stir- ring the minds of the Sabbath School Scholars at. preswt as they are pre- paring to have their annual Xmas Tree on the Friday between Christmas and New Years. A choice program in being prepared and a good time my be expected. The old saving that death comes to all is again forcibly thrust upon us. Last week to Mr. Chas. McKinney came the sad tidings that his mother had died at Milton. Mr, McKinney loft immediately and was present at the funeral. On the same day to Mr. and Mrs. Peter Tifiany came the sor- rowful tidings that their son, J. Bagan, had died in an hOSpital in Iowa. Feir Dsy pemd of! very quietly here.

Municipal matters in Artemesia are up to the present so quiet it is probable the old council, who will seek re-election, will be returned by acclamation. If so, a considerable item would be saved in election ex- penses. The statute labor question would, we peasume. lie over for another year, but it would keep; it is being thoroughly discussed by several writers in the columns of the Flesberton Advarce. nizacion formed here at n representa; tive meeting in Dr. Murray’s ofico Thursday evening last.

At the close of the program Miss Fletcher was presented with a piece of ‘silverware and an address, to which Inspector Campbell made a neat reply in behalf of the recipient; whose feelings were then too full for utterance. The proceeds were enough to cover expenses, which. we under- stand, included a couple of livery rigs from Durham. The school was nice- ly decorated by flags bunting, a protrait of the Queen and appropri- ate patriotic mottoes. By the way we had almost forgot- ten to mention that Mr. Remake, of the Review, wound up his address by singing ” Nellie Gray.” in very good style. Miss Marnie Munro is fast becom- ing a favorite, and she did credit to herself in the sweet little songs to which she treated the audience on this occasion. Miss Jessie Laidlaw has already fame as one of the sweet- est singers of Durham. The songs of J. A. Hunter and Ed. McClocklin were rousing and Spirited numbers. and put everybody in good humor. Mr. Hunter and Mr. Archie Galbraith held the audience spell bound as they rendered “ The Upper Ten and The Lower Five.” It was Ed. McClocklin’s comic songs, how- ever. that brought the house down every time.

The chairman’s address was brief but well timed, expressive chiefly of his pleasure in being present and his confidence in the good sense of the audience to conduct themselves in a becoming manner. Time and space forbids a lengthy detail, but. speaking generally we must admit the exercises rendered by the school reflect much credit on both teacher and pupils. Mrs. R. Stmidrxni.

I have re- commended it to nry neighbors. and can say it is the best I ever used, and in my estimation worth its weight in gold." The closing School Concert at Rocky Saugeen was held on Friday evening last, when a very lengthy program of dialogues. recitations. songs, chorus and drills was given by the children of the“ school. In addition to this, several numbers were fur- nished by outside talent, most of which was rendered by citizens of Durham. The teacher, Miss Cassie Fletcher, having resigned her posi- tion to further prosecute her studies. it was afitting time for such an event. as well as the subsequent addresses and presentation with which the proceedings were closed and by which Miss Fletcher was made the reci; ipnt of a handsome piece of silverware. as a token of the esteem in which she was held by the children, entruSted to her' care during the past three years. Inspector Campbell. Rev. Mr. Gia- ham, Principal Allan and the Durham Editors. both of whom were present, made short addresses, and Councillor McLean, of Bentinck, gave a capital recitation which was much appreciat- ed by the audience. Say that Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseml and Turpentine affords wonderfully prompt relief for coughs and colds. Everybody has confidence in Dr. Chase, in his great recipe book and famous family remedies.

During the high wind that prevailol ed on Satuo day night last something in the nature of a cyclone or whirl- wind of terrific force struck the farm of John Davidson. of the 11th con.. Minto. It arose suddenly with a roar like Niagara and travelled apparently in a path a few rods wide as evidenced by its passace from field to field a few panels of fencing; being scattered far and wide while the rest of the fences was undisturb- ed. In its destructive course stood Mr. DavidsOn‘s fine barn erected a few years ago and the cyclone left it a roofless and sorrv looking spectacle. The roof. along with the heavv tama- rac rafters, Was lifted bodily and turn to atoms, the rafters being: twisted tc Splinters and some portions carried ‘35 rods away. An old log barn on an adjoining farm was also demolished. the heavy logs being tossed about in all directions. Here the cyclone seems to have exhausted its force. The expense of repairing the barn uill be considerable and it appears that insurance policies do not cover damage from wind, though they do ly lightning. This is a point that should be considered by directors of insurance companies. Such storms are rare in Ontario and probably vis it us from across the lines whence come many of our ills, but it is to be hoped that the Kansas cyclone is on- ly a transient guest. --Harriston Tri~ buns.
