This was his first test along the line of medical work, and we have little doubt he will aim at success all along the line.

BURT. “ NOW” Know WORLD‘S BEST CEMENT MILL. Will Run Next Week. From 85 to 100 Men Required the Year Round. uThere is just a posibility that the big cement works, which were a whole menagerie for Durham during the past year, will prove to be only a big white elephant after all. Ex- nounced the clay which it is proposed to use as unfit for the purpose. It is said to contain too much mineral of some kind to be useful. The Durham people are becoming less enthusiastic over their investment. When the work. was first promoted from 75 to 150 men were to be engaged and the town was destined to buzz with life. Now it is claimed with labor saviug machinery only eight or ten hands will be required- to run the whole concern. We hape. however, that the pessimistic and disturbing rum. ors will prove to be exaggerated and that the town will realize all that it anticipated from its investment.” The foregoing article which ap-| pears in the columns of last week’s Advance, were a great surprise to us as indeed it must be to every one acquainted with the Cement Works here. It is n0t at all likely that the Advance Man had any intention per- sonally of belittling our town, nor the big industry of which we feel so proud. but that he is moved by the poorest kind of authority is patent to all, and at an early stage of pro- cedure such report might be damag- ing in its character. For the benefit of our esteemed cotem, and in order to give him an opportunity to set himself right we may just remark that there’s no truth whatever in the foregoing, especially as regards the number of workmen to be employed. The Flesherton Advance says: As to the mill itself, we do not be- lieve that there is a sane person in Durham or vicinity who is not justly proud of the magnificent institution. Of the hundreds of visitors who came here from time to time to examine the Works we have had an opportun- ity to interview only a few, but we assure the Advance Man and all our readers that every one, without ex- ception looked‘upon it as a marvel of excellence. Since seeing the article above re- ferred to we made enquiry as to the number of men required to keep the institution in full operation, and find that not less than 85 to 120 men will be necessary to manufacture and handle the output, and these men will have regular work the whole year round. The idea of doing the work with eight or ten men is wholly preposterous. but it is just a repeti- tion of the old story about the Penin- sular Mill at Jackson being run by 8 men in the manufacturing and ship. ping of a thousand barrels a day. Wouldn’t it be a great inventment for stockholders if only ten men ; would be required to run the “whole ; menagerie ?” but they mustn’t be led i to believe any such nonsense. The works are now about complet- ed and the first cement will be made next week, according to information we received a day or so ago. We are all proud of our mill and are anxious- ly waiting to hear the machinery in operation. We repeat again we have the best cement mill in the world. Mn. HUGH McAn'rnun, the popular hotelkeeper of Psisley. was in town lsst week but we really forgot to mention the fsct. The hotel, we nn- derstsnd, is one of the best, if not entirely the best, outside our cities. as Mr. McArthnr spared no expense in putting up an up-to-date hotel.. The genial proprietor is commonly known as Klondike McArthnr. THE Men on the Street complains! of our streets, and in fact we had an idea. they weren’t exactly first clues. A few days ago a. men from Mount Forest pronounced them good com- psred with the roads in his town. What must it be to be there? and what sort of oontortions would our Men on the Street go into if he should happen to run soross bed rosds ?
