O Bl \ Peel’s handmade for fall i IN another column wegive a very i valuable letter from the pen of W. A. Clemons, Publication Clerk. The sub- ject “Farm Hygiene ” is a very i111- portant one and is worthy of the at- tention of townspeople as well as the agrarian population to whom it is particularly directed. There is no doubt the outbreaks of typhoid and other diseases are largely due to im- proper sanitation of closets and the improper disposal of various kinds of effete matter in the town and on the farm. The letter in question goes into the matter pretty fully and confirms Opinions pr eviouslv expressed in these‘ columns that there 1s a limit beyond which the purifving action of the earth is of little or no account in dest1 oying disease germs. Even Durham can not claim immunity from pestilemial cess pools that are dangerous to the health of the community. The letter is worth reading and deserves more than pass-I ing thought. Mr. (icorge Carson, of Victoria, B. (7., son of Mr. and Mrs. J as. larson, of this town, spent a few days with friends here and at Hanover since our last issue. His parents are now visit' ing in Lauder, Manitoba, and be con- sequently (litl not see them but will go there on his return trip’and complete the whole family circle on his arrival there. It is fifteen or sixteen years since Mr. Carson left here, and the western country evidently agrees with hnn, his present weight being about 260 lbs. He is a good stout chunk of a man, and a member of Victoria. Police force. Mr. Chas. Porter, of Buffalo, spent a few days in town last week visiting his mothe-and friends of his early hoy- hood.

It is now twelve or fifteen years sinEe he left Durham and he notices many important changes since he was here last. His trip through the Cement \Vorks was a startling revelation, as he had no previous idea of the magnitude of the concern. Miss King, who spent several weeks \Vest, going as far as the Coast, has again settled down to her usual music- al work, and will be here regularly to attend to her pupils. John Murdoch, who went to Mani- toba a few weeks ago, returned last week. He was not sick of typhoid as we recently reported on information that proved incorrect. Mrs. G. Brebber, of Mt.

TUE Holstein Fair on Tuesday last adds another suceessful show to the township of Egremont. The day was an ideal one, and an innnense throng of people assembled on the grounds. The eattle. show is pronounced by the management and judges to be the best ever held in the township and especi- ally so in the fine exhibit of farm horses. Inside the throng was so great that no one could possibly get a‘ good look at the display in the hall. The Prize List will appear next week.
