DURHAM CHRONICLE By a Vote of 381 against 18 the Free holders of Durham have agreed togive the Durham Furniture Company the full amount they asked for and the town now rests easy on the full assur- 3060 that the factory will he re-built Without delay. The circumstances and conditions of this case, however. were peculiar. The town for many years lay in a state of dormancy. After many fruit- less attempts to get an industry of some kind, the passing of a By-law to grant aid by way of a loan to the Furniture Company. gave life to the town. and ever since then, until the night of the 23rd of March, the history of Durham has been a history of con' tinuons growth. Slow it may seem, yet there were few towns in Western Ontario made more material progress during the past five or six years, “'hile We favored the demands of the company. and advocated to the best of our ability the re-huilding of the factory. We at least respect the feelings of those who opposed the By- law as a mere matter of principle. Few believe in the granting of a. straight bonus, and a look at the his- ton-y of many bounced industries will justify them in no small measure in the position they took in opposing the By-law just carried. During those years the factory was i struggling along, making a little money, though handicapped from the i start for want of capital. The exper- ience of the old Board of Directors was anything but pleasant, and before they would undertake the work a second time, they felt the necessity of getting enough money to work with.

In granting the demands of the company the town has certainly shown a generous spirit, and it is to be hoped there will he no breach of faith on either side. It is to he hoped also that the town and company will he so bound as to have no twisting of newniations nor improper use made of the moneys granted. To carry out the terms there should be a hard and fast agreement, to he carried out strict- ly to the letter. That the furniture factory was appreciated was certainly shown in no unmistakable signs in the Vote of Fridav last. I We are in receipt of a letter from Mr. R. O. Wilkie, of Biloxi,Miss. The letter is not intended for publication, at least it is not so stated. However, we take the liberty of making a note or two from its contents. From it, we learn that Mr. \Vilkie is prospecting in the. south, taking an interest in the cultivation of figs and oranges, with a. view to purchase all or part of a grove. The letter was dated on the 16th inst, and he says: “Yesterday I walk- ed thirteen miles into the interior of this country and saw fig trees loaded with fruit." He says “a treefiveyears old hears an enormous load, and any three figs will weigh a. pound.” Think of a 5 an on a halflacre garden grow- ing all he can eat-by growing all the year round with (1) Raddishes and Lettuce.

Ladies, dretty Indies, etc., but redeems himself at the close of his remarks by saying they are not prettier than the ladies of Duehaun or Toronto. The people are polite down south. and everybody is addressed as “Sir” or "Madam,” from the Superintendent to the fireman and oiler.

Goodfel- low, met at the Knapp House to con? sider the applications for License for the ensuing year. From the re- port given it may be inferred that hotel men will, henceforth be expect- ed to toe the mark a little better than they have been doing if they wish to retain their licenses. They are en- titled to all the privileges the law confers. but they are entitled to no- thing more; and should they go be- yond the limits of right and get mix- ed up in a lawsuit and a fine they have themselves to blame for it as general rule. The existing License system is not a bad one. and if strict- ly adhered to there would be less complaint from the temperance agi- tators.

Dr. 'McDougall, a pioneer in Manitoba and the North-West since the early sixties, was the speaker on the occasion. The Doctor was born on the banks of the Sydenhani River where Owen Sound now stands, and from his birth in 1812 up to the pres- ent, he has been associated with the j realties of bush life and with the‘ habits, ustoms and peculiarities of Indians fit every phase of their ekis- tence. The hardships, trials and self- sacrifiCes of Dr. McDougall are almost beyond description, but this side of the Rev. gentleman's life was not so graphically portrayed as it was on his visit of a year ago. Though sixty- three years of age, Dr. McDougall is still active and full of vigor, and should anyone imagine his last address to come below the standard of the one he delivered a year ago, it must not be forgotten that he was speaking on a subject entirely different in its charac- ter, and one that would not appeal so directly to the feelings of his audience. \Vild life and personal adventures with Indians, wolves, bears and buffaloes are always sure to rivet the attention of the listener. No man, we imagine, knows so intimately as Mr. McDougall, the vastness of our great i western heritage. A GUARANTEED CURE FOR PILES Itching, Blind.
