Although the hospitality of the Aldred family and their fine place is all that could be wished for to make a garden party a success, yet last Thursday night was also an ideal evening for such an event and con- sequently placed the aflair far beyond their brightest anticipations. The crowd was a monster one. A friend- ly game of loot ball was witnessed with pleasure in the gloaming, then the company gathered in the orchard to enjoy the treats prepared for the evening consisting of ice cream. cake and coflee and an excellent progra l. The Durham Band enlivened the whole afiair by their excellent music and an orchestra of home talent also contributed much to the musical part of the prOgram. Miss Mabel Meadl gave a recitation and Archie Gray the Misses Lauder and Pettigrew sang sweetly as little folks mostly do and the Varney choir and a quar- tette of young men from Durham gave good selections Which u ere much appreciated There was a goodly number of the Baptist persuasion present and they were well represen- ted by their pastor, Rev. Mr. Newton who put his speech into a story which was very expressive of their good- will. But the bulk of the crowd was lethodist and the long and short of it is they are well represented by Rev. Mr. Coiling of Durham. and their own Mr. Stevenson, of Varney. who is fast becoming popular owing to an alable disposition and a seal in the cause which is beginning to man- ifest itsell in the progress of the church He acted as chairman and hoth he and llr. Coiling refrained from long speeches to give plenty of opportunity in the band and violin music which could be more satisfac- torily heard hv the large crowd.

We arejnot finding fault with Mr. Calder in the matter. It may be possible he thought he could do as he promised, but he couldn’t, and more than that, if the assessment hadn’t been increased as it was the rate would have been three or four mills higher. lAyer’s Pills Want your moustache or beard “mum brown or rich black?

Didn’t Mr. Calder put on a ‘ righteous looking air at the nomination ’and promise to run the town on a twenty mill rate. Some were led to think it might be done, and, elected him on the strength of his statements to the public, backed up by his gaur- antee in the way of a promise. Now we are not aware that anyone inter- fered in the matter, and we are certain that so far this year there has been little done in the way of town improvement. The town assesment has been increased from $646,433 to $677,315 and yet an additional mill has been found necessary. The school of course required more than Mr. Calder figured on, but this increase was expecced, and was even pointed out at the time. The Rate In Twenty-one Hills- RIFLE ASSOCIATION. J. P.
