This led to the name of \V. E. MeAlister being men- tioned and when we learned that he wouldn't give any man a drink in pro- hibited hours. we felt like respecting him more than we ever did before.

Come and See For Yourselves. MacFARLANEdz 00. Ihree W. IRWIN. Editor and Proprietor. Dnuamsrs AND Booxszumas. We never had such a fine selection of Ho]- iday Goods. and u few ininutes in our store will soon convince you of the fact. HERE AND THERE. Early buying insures better selection. Till Christmas. You’ll be busy and so will we. Don’t put your shopping off till the last. Already some of the pretty things are being picked up and put away by thoughtful buyers. The greatest novelty in town is the good hard roads. We were so used to the soft sand and mud that it is a gen- uine luxury to see a street on which our sports can again exercise their blood horses without the mile-wide splash of a week ago. I suppose we must thank the Council even for ' I joy for the love that has made them HUB: ; For the virtuous path they trod : For the hallowed faith that has cheer- ! ed their way In the upward path to God. , So I sing my songin the twilight gray, A song not unmixed with a sigh ; 2 For I muse on the ceaseless pitiless tread. The tramp of the passer-by. Labelling the streetsâ€"Is it not time that Durham should have. its streets labelled? The cost of such would be a‘ mere trifle and the convenience would be great. The Town Council should look into the matter and ascertain the cost. Many times one hears on the street enquiries for this or that street and only a man or two in town can give the required information. There should be a more convenient way than going to the town map or the voters’ list to get the information. With the influx of strangers coming in larger numbers year by year, many of them it is hoped, to because permanent citi- zens it is surly becoming that our town put on an air of ,having at least get out of short frocks. There are doubt- less still citiaens who would make the town wear such abbreviated garments all its life. ‘They are not the friends of progress their large months which (the editor’s phrase) would lead us to believe. i I unfold my wings in the Autumn wind \Vhen the air is chill and crisp; . I shelter the youths and maidens fair, .: And list to the words they lisp. 1 l I hear their 111111‘111e1's of sweet content As they 1V hisper their thoughts of low: l I see the glow of the. manly cheek, i And the p1 ess of the maiden’ s glove.

Many teachers throughout the Pro- vince will regret to learn of the sud- den and almost tragic death of Dr. McCahe, Principal of the Provincial Normal School at Ottawa. He was married only a few weeks ago, and in c ompany with his bride went Sunday morning to attend high mass at St. Patrick’s Church. Being a little late they hurried, and just as the Dr. seat- ed himself in his pew he fell forward as if in a faint. On removing him to the Vestry it was discovered that life was extinct. The Dr. was one of Can- ada's leading educators, a thorough gentleman, a devoted Roman Catholic and loved and respected by all classes. A very tragic death occurred near Bowmanville early Sunday morning. Smue time during the night Mr. J. M. Joness a most respected dairyman, about two miles east of the town, got up and dressed himself to stop the turning of windmill located on tOp of the barn. He was caught in the ma- chinery and his left arm drawn in up to the shoulder in which position he was held fast until the horrible dis- covery was made on Sunday morning. When discovered he was partly con- scious. Medical aid was immediately summoned, but proved unavailing and he died during the day. per two ounce, without rendering these articles liable to the minumum prepayment of twu cents, which is re- quired on printed envelopes generally.” ' A despatch from Ottawa announces a change in the postal rate for printed I matter. The wording of the despatch ’in part reads as follows;â€"“A postal notice issued today, (Dec. 1), states the rate on printed forms without writing of any kind has been changed from two cents for the first four ounces or fraction thereof and one cent for each additional two ounces or fraction thereof, to one cent for each two ounces or fraction thereof. A single printed envelope for reply may be enclosed with a circular or printed form passing at the rate of one cent manufacture of automobile and steam specialties. There were only two votes polled against the by-law. a s a: The month of November just closed has been the warmest November month since 183), when the Toronto Meteorological ofllce began making records.

The Awning’s Autumn Song. *** At the close of the evening service amass meeting was held when the Revs, Farquharsan and NeWton spoke briefly on the subject of tem- perance. The former gentleman made an excellent address in which he appealed strongly for support on Thursday to vote in faver of the A very interesting feature of the day’s service was the magnificent vocal entertainement furnished by the three Misses Joy, of Flesherton. The reputation of these talented young ladies for first-class vocalists is known far and wide. but this was their first appearance before aDur- ham audience, and with many others who heard them on Sunday. we hope the day is not far distant when they will furnish us with another musical treat. The rendering of the Holy City by Miss Alice Joy at the morn- ing service was listened to with rapt attention and it was only by a strong efiort, some of the audiences at least, were restrained from ap-S planding for an encore. l The anniversary services in the Methodist Church on Sunday evening glast were unusually intereSting. iRev. J. S. I. Wilson, of Flesherton, iexchanged pulpits with Rev. Mr. ib'mith. and both services were prac- jttcal. clear-cut and profitable dis- courses. The evening address was 'on Temperance. and Mr. Wilson who is a thorough temperance man and thoroughly informed on the question ‘stated clearly his opinion as to the Ivoter’s duty in regard to the Refer- lendum to be taken this week. A 'strong plea was made for the up. huilding of the nation’s morals by Christian peOple using theirinfluence to remove evil from the rising gener- ation. The liquor traffic be regarded as the greatest evil in our land to-day and the bar-room was a legalized curse. He urged all to vote, but to vote according to conscience, prefer- ring the manly man who would vote “No” to the cowardly man, who did. in eflect, the same thing by staying away from the poll. Mr. Wilson regretted that the opposition! had put no men in the field. to‘ champion the cause they were 50! anxious to uphold. The temperance party were working in the cause of truth and righteousness ‘and the Speaker fei‘t assured of a good ma- jority, even if the vote should not be high enough to satisfy the demands of the Government. Billy Bean’s got the “ rheumatiz ” and he seems to have hard work some- times to hobble round, but it beats all creation to see him run when he gets down to biz. He runs the Big 4 but i on Saturday night he was running the Big 3, for a change. The occasion was this. Three men were doing biz with Bean, or rather two were doing biz with Bean and the third fellow was carrying on a little show on his own book. Likely he thought it was going to be cold and a pair of leggin’s would be a good thing to keep him warm. Without any particular‘ com- punction of conscience, Mr. Coldshanks sniped two pairs of the leggin’s, put them under his overcoat and innocent- ly got out. Miss McDonald, of the Big 4, noticed the Big 1 skip out with the Big Leggin’s, and the intelligence was communicated to Bean the Boss, who forgot about his “rhumatiz,” and started out on the dead gallop, captur- ing the fellow with the leggin’s before he got many yards away. He first de- nied having them, but the occular demonstration produced by Bean pull- ing them out from under his overcoat started him out on a different line of thought which subsequently shaded off into profound penitence and nervous fear. The same fellow, whose name should be given, had also in his pos- session a pair of unwrapped rubbers which were evidently stolen from some other store, but in this case Mr. Bean was not so particularly interest- ed, and didn’t press the investigation. , The question in our mind now is, ? whether or not it was right for Mr. Bean to let the cowardly perpetrator go unpunished, and unexposed to the general public who might save money by keeping an eye on him. We have laws against stealing, but the laws don’t seem to make men honest. \Ve do not think Mr. Bean will do right by letting him off, but the lesson may be a good one and the exercise of mercy may be for the young man’s, benefit. The fellow lives (mteast a; few miles. i If? BUSINESS is still rushing at this store. Now is the time to buy yourself a. pretty Velvet. or Fur Hat. There is now a great demand for these goods.

Gray and Mrs. Hillis on the night of the Referendum meeting was possnbly the cause of the 311m turnout to hear the Revs. Little and Truax. Miss M. J. Matthews, we are sorry to report, is somewhat indisposed. We hope soon to hear of her recovery. Miss Katie Black came home from Milton a fortnight ago and spoke of returning, and to prevent her doing so Mr. Tommy Grasby started her up in business right here by marrying her, and in so quiet a way that even the most suspicious had no thought of it, although it was noticed on \Vednesday morning that he had for- sook his post at the cement works and was looking very tony, but no one thonght before night he would be bound to the lady of his choice with a stronger hand than could be made of Portland cement. The sol- itude of the sleepy little town of Mt. Forest was chosen for the perform- ance of this cute little act and up to to the time of writing we know noth- ing more about it then that they are married and as happy as two little? toadies and that they may continue so throughout a long lifetime is the sincere wish of all the Corner people. Neither township or county elec- tions are being much talked about yet but. a couple of weeks “more may make things more interesting in that line. So one of your Correspondents is going to drive you up to the poor house is be, Mr. Editor? We have often got fighting mad over other people saying your correspondents would yet drive you to the poor house, but now that they are talking about it themselves we may as well cool down. Mr Robt. Mead has had annoying experiences occasionally taking cat- tle out of a wet swamp on his farm, but acow last week was mcre un fortunate than the resc as a broken leg resulted. An underbrushing bee and party this Tuesday afternoon and evening at Mr. Alex. Allan’s will cheer the Ileana of the fun-loving youth of the neighborhood. Mr. Wm.
