We Knew the Doctor well for the past twenty years, but our Flesh- erton correspondent has entered so fully into an obituary that little Tun annual meeting of the Nation- al Portland Cement Company is held in l'oronto this week. The local stockholders held a couple of meet- -inn-s here of late to discuss matters anil formulate plans {or discussion at the annual meeting. There seems to be considerable dissatisfaction regard- ing the progress of the industry from a financial standpoint. We hepe, however. that everything will be all right and the result next year may be productive of good results and good returns to those who have ADDITIONAL loctls on page 4.

A LETTER from Mr. A. R. Ball, of Jerome. Arizona, informs us of the arrival in their home of a little baby boy on the 5th of January. Mr. and Mrs. Ball intend coming home in a short time.

THE Durham Furnitare Company will hold their annual meeting here on Friday night, the 19th inst. The auditors have completed their work and we are pleased to learn that the year just closed has been a prosper- one one. The matter of a dividend is likely to be a part of the discussion, but whether it will materialize or not remains to be seen. It is true that some of the stockholder are looking for returns on the money they have invested, but as the Com- pany is now under an obligation to make a payment of one thousand dol- lars on the ten thousand dollar loan from the town it is just a. question whether it would be advisable or not to pay a. dividend to the Stockholders. The money borrowed from the town was borrowed in good faith, ' and should be returned. There were some. HID-v no doubt. who felt that the loan would be turned over as a gift to the Company, but such procedure would BatabllSh an evil precedent that would ‘ surely be disastrous in the future. ’l‘uat the industry has been agreat benefit to the town there is no one to deny. That tl e payment of a divi. dend, let it be ever so small, would establish confidence in the sharehold- ers is equally true but as far an the establishment of confidence is con- cerned it seems that the discharging of the debt to the town would be equally effective. However much one may feel inclined to be generous to the Furniture Company it should not be forgotten that business is business‘end the loan ahould be re- turned. The Chronicle from In the death of.

His contribution last week to the Flesherton Advance re the County Council expenditure on the House of Refuge evidences his keen interest in public matters up to the last. The letter sounds a timely nate of warn- ing and while it lays before the public startling facts of extravagant expen- diture it is couched in temperate language. The Doctor was a manl who held his convictions strongly andl could not temporize with what be} conceived was wrong or imprudent in { action, consequently he like all menf of such strong character made somei enemies. but among his last publici utterances at the Communion service i in his church the Sunday preceedingl his death he expressed himself as; having no unkind feelings in his; heart towards any living person.
