If not your losing Immey every week. Act on this hint. AN interesting event in connection with the Teachers’ meeting in Toronto this week will he a presentation to Mr. Williams, Fix-Principal of the Colling- wood Collegiate Institute. This is a movement on the part of the ex-stu- dents, who to-day present him with a watrh. chain and locket, and an illum- inated address. The watch was pur- chased from Mr. A. Gordon, of this town, and is the most valuable. we think, ever sold in Durham. Tum Oddfellows At Home last night was a decided success from a fraternel standpoint. The cosy hall was welli filled with the members and only their invited guests. A good program was provided after which an abundance of cake and coffee were served. Miss King, of Mt. Forest, MissJean Brown, Mr. Drysdale, Miss Saunders, Mr. Flarity, Mr. McCrae, Mr. Davidson, Mrs. Stonehouse, Miss Rita Irwin. Miss Wilson, and Miss Warner. enter- tained the audience. Bro’s Laidlaw and Irwin delivered eloquent addresses and demonstrated to the audience the undying love each member has for his _ brothers. THE C. P. R. surveyors have been putting down stakes right in the heart of the southern part of lower town, and some of the Wiser citizens have the st‘ttion grounds located and probably the station master appoint- ed. This survey is only a preliminary move on the part of the company, and as yet nobody knows what the outcome may be. Even the surveyors haven’t ixnpudence enough to make predictions unless it be to stuff the half-baked inquirers who may worry them with all sorts of unreasonable questions. It is highly probable the road will be built and that it will take in Durham on its route, IF you get your name in the. news paper you never know what may happen. A few weeks ago, Ye Editor went to Ularkshurg, and the Heath- cote correspondent to the Meaford Monitor reported the startling inci- dent that we passed through that hamlet. The Monitor has a reader in New York, Mr. E. E, Knott, whom we havent seen for twenty-five years, and whom We had lost track of altogether. Imagine our surprise last week when we got a letter from Mr. Knott. He enquires for Mr. McKechnie, who was reeve or Mayor of Durham many years ago, when he, Knott. held the highest{ honor of the township of Euphrasia,‘ where he served as reeve. MP. Knotti is in the ln'okemge business, and is also a. px-mnoter. He sends us a. copy of the New York Sunday \Vorld, giv- ing a description of the “Revolving Air-Ship” and “Atlantis” to beoperat- ed this summer at Coney Island. Mr. Knott had something to do with the promotion of these pleasure giving devices, and extends us a cordial in- vitation to visit him this summer and see the sights. We'd like to go all right,- but haven’t the money, unless we arrange for a. prize fight with Billy _Lnidlav. borrow money on the strength of the receipts. or get Calder "to advance it until of“: the show is THE GOING AND COMING 0F DURHAM/T58 AND THEIR FRIENDS.

THE passing of the By-law to re- build the furniture factory has given new life to the town. The whole place seems to have greater buoyancy, and the action of the citizens in pronounc- ing decidedly in favor of progress will result in a measure of private} enter- prise. Now that the factory Will give increased employment, more accom- modation will be needed and the building of a few more houses would not be a bad investment for moneyed men to make. Houses that could be given at a low rent are much in need and would get ready tenants. FREE LOCALS.-â€"Just read on.
