Mr. Newton who is spending a couple of weeks at the World’s Fair in St. Louis. He reports it a magnificent exhibition, with every necessary com; fort, and the rates are not exorbitant. Rooms, he says, are cheaper now than earlier in the season and you can get as good a dinner for twentyfive cents as you can in Durham. Such reports make us feel like going but then we can‘t raise the money, and there’s no; use worrying over our misfortune. 1 l THE \Vestern Fair at London is now in progress and the Durham Manufac- turing Co. has an exhibit there of their celebrated Cream Separators.

McI-lraith. . ~ Archie McDougall of the Chronicle Staff left Tuesday morning for a few weeks holiday in Loiidon,:Leamingt()n and Detroit. Four years ago Archie was dead a couple of times of Typhoid fever, but he managed to pull through and resumed work the following sum- ‘mer. Every year since then he talked of having a holiday but like a lot of the political pre-electicm promises, it ended ‘ in talk, and Archie stayed with his ’job. It isn’t for want of work herel that he’s gone, but professedly to have? a little rest. One of Allan Bell’s girls is going to Leamington also, and it may be'that Archie has evil designs on Allan and notwithstanding their warm friendship as brethern in the Baptist church he may put Allan’s nose of joint. the first thing he knows. We wish him a pleasant holiday and hope during his absence that Hercules will come along and give us a lift with our work. Reg. A. C.

People we Know DURHAM, 0NT., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1904. 3m: Durham Fair For the benefit of readers who are stockholders in the Cement Company We may state that the efforts of the _ I promoters of the scheme secntly re- ' ferred to by which an increase of two hundred barrels a day was to be made in the output of the rotaries is likely ' to turn out a fizzle. So far the results are very unsatisfactory and the rotary ’ they have been tinkering with is not ~ turning out rs much clinker now as it did before they started the experi-l ment, and the portion of the Director- ate who sanctioned the chrnge have nothing to show so far to justify their action. It if only fair, however, to state that the Company is secured by bonds to insure them against loss from diminished output or other causes. The mill has been doing ex- cellent work all season and to allow any tinkering with it under any cir- cumstances is an unjustifiable act on the part of the Directors. The Direc- tors were dividen on the question, but the promoters of the scheme won over a majority, and the undertaking of the work bad to be allowed, not however, till sufficient bonds were given to in- sure the company against loss. The mill is burning about a thousand bar- rels a day and everything is going like clockwork. Mr. Uowham. the Presi dent, Mr. McKeclmie, of this town, and one or two others stood out against the efforts to make a change, and have all along showed loyalty to the stock- holders. The general opinion is that the adventurers now wish they had let the job alone, and the wish may be pressed home more firmly before a settlement is effected. (U (U SINCE the return from the West last week of Mr. N. McIntyre we have had very little opportunity of learning any particulars of his trip. He thinks the West a wonderful country and im. agines .the magnificent prospects the farmers have this year on account of good crops. His son Shirley and Jeff McCracken are at V ermillion Valley, Alberta, and got a good thing out there. \Ve are pleased to hear of any of the Durham boys doing Well. OUR Flesherton correspondent gives information to the effect that evan- gelistic services were started in the Methodist churchon Sunday, and that Whips were stolen from the church shed in the evening. This must be‘ satisfactory evidence to the evangelist ‘ that he has a work to do in Flesherton, or is this to be taken as the first-fruits of the preacher’s evangelistic efforts. \VANTED at once, good General ser- vant, small fatfiily, good position, all convenience good wages.
