DURHAM, APRIL 1:2, 1906. DURHAM CHRONICLE It’s entirely unnecessary. Our high-grade Formaldehyde is cer- tain death for the smut germ at a cost of one half cent a bushel for your seed wheat, barley or corn. If you have ever used a solution of Formaldehyde without satis- factory results it was because you did not follow directions or did not get the right grade. Do you own property in town? If so do you want to make it more valu- able at a small cost? Nothing for the T cost enhances the value of a town propâ€" S erty more than a few good shade trees. This is a good season to get them in the ground. No use waiting till next T year or the year after. You'll make the same excuse next year that you. do this year. and the result will be, no i T trees. If you are interested and have your place ready get in the trees, or,T what would. perhaps. be better. get the council interested and let the plant- S ing be done on the frontage tax sys- ‘ tam. the town paying part and theI property 0“ ner the balance. This’ would preserve unifmmity. and uni-'I formitv is essential to the esthetic apâ€" pearance of a well regulated tow n. P We as citizens hav e just reason to feel , ashamed when we go away from home 1 and see how cozy and comfortable % other towns are because of a few good 3 shade trees along the streets, but the: feeling soon passes off and we sit and sizzle in the sunshine while our neigh- bors enjoy the comforts of a shade. t It takes time for trees to grow and: . they can't be got in to soon. \Vith' few exceptions our streets are the ‘ most barren to be found anywhere. At best we haven’t what you would callapretty town. All the more needy therefore, that we should assist nature to make improvements. Unfortunateâ€" ly we seem to have an element here that would destroy any kind of pro- grass. The Sons of Scotland had a very laudable ambition to make a park, but the land they selected was thought to extremely valuable that it would make a man’s head ache to think of haying it for any purpose. For years it has been a mere unsightly junk heap and its quite likely to remain so till the next generation takes up the idea. What m the name of common Tfivamthhmakehimpaytaxea.

While we carry all of the well- known varieties of fie! d and gar- den seeds. we make a. Specialty of those which exyerience has proved to be best adapted to our soil and climate.

Even Durham has ‘its quota of boys and girls too, who 1 will never shine because of a super- . fluity of goodness. Go to any public : entertainment, let it he secular or sac- ; red and witness the antics of the ap- parently intellectual youngsters.

The fond fath- i er may have had to hurry to the print- ing oflice in time to have the event announced. especially if it doesn’t cost him anything. A few years later, it may be, he comes with equal haste to request the same publisher to with- draw the police court proceedings which “ out of consideration for pa- rents and friends” is done too often. The boy may go from bad to worse till some day the final scene is enacted and the fond but aged parent is hast- ened down to sorrow and the grave. After all if we could only see into the “ The boy is father of the man ” is anl old saying and seldom fails to turn out to be true. The lazy, indiflerent, use- less boy is quite likely to develop into a useless man. The boy, who gives way in youth to bad habits is not. like- ly to grow into a moral reformer as he advances up to manhood. not depart from it.” Notwithstanding the source from which this comes many readers may reflect on the long and anxious hours he spent over that wayward boy, in trying to make a. man of him only to learn when old and gray headed th'at he developed into a mere nonentity. There’s something wrong somewhere, but it isn’t likely ed to death with little better results, and if these statements be true it seems that a properly divided and a judicious administration of the two methods is the best remedy after all. If you spare the rod you may spoil the child, and if one is to judge from what he sees around him he must con- clude that the rod has been spared in The boy is father of the man. and the good boy is more likely to develop into a good man, while the useless article so often seen is just as likely to grow up into a menace to society. The Dornoch girl bows her stately head And fixes her pretty lips In a firm, hard way, then lets 'em go, And sips. and sips, and sips. The Rocky girl. with a hungry look, And tightly fastened eyes, Snatches her kiss like one closinga book Then right about turn and flies. The Vickers girl has astyle of herown, In a soulful, clinging, way. She snatches a kiss that is just as big As a wagon load of hay. The Holstein girl gets a grip on herself, And carefully takes off her hat, Then grabs a man in a frenzied way, Like a terrier shaking a rat. The Varney girl says never a word, She's so gentle, timid and tame, She grabs the jay by the back of the neck, And gets there just the same. But if you want a perfect kiss, ! That will set your head in a whirl, I You reach the acme of earthly bliss \V’hen you kiss a Durham girl. “HOME HAIDS” ARE THE BEST. S. S. No. 1. NORMANBY. Sr. IVâ€"Nellie Burns. Willie Mc- Alister.

Hickling 85 Co. and F. G.‘ Karstedt made their Opening diaplay. . A large number of ladies were pres-" ent and many were emphatic in their expressions of appreciation concern- ing the beauty of numerous head adornments prepared for their in ! spection. At both places the show rooms presented an appearance of beauty and neatuess, a fit setting for the very pretty creations on exhibr ition. Miss Reid and Miss Swayze are superior artists and won for themselves many encominums for their beautiful combinations and stylishly made goods. The large picture hats are still to be worn, but the popular and leading styles are smaller than formerly and are very chic. The new sailor is one of the leading shapes. It has a narrow brim, worn with bandeau. banked with trimming at the back. Ofcourse the distinguishing feature of Spring xmillinery is a profusion of floral trimmings, and in this line the dis- play was very fine. Feathers, os- preys, sequens and ribbons Will be much used. Among leading shades in trimmings are mauve, mulberry, raspberry. tuscan and green. Our reorganized band made its firSt public appearance for the season on Thursday evening last when Msssrs. Boyd. Hickling Co., were serenaded. After givinga generous supply of pleasing music the boys were invxted in and all served re. freshments before returning to their band room. The Royal Templars here held an Open meeting on Friday evening last when their lodge room in Mr. Clay- ton’s block was fided to the doors. Mr. W. H.

Murray a solo; Wilda Wright and Gladys Cornfield, recita- tions; Elwood Genoe, \Valter Loucks and Miss EVa Loucks a dialogue; Rev. Dr. Caldwell a reading and Rev. G F. Hurlburt a speech.

Johnnie Glen- cross is a name that means much. The father and son bore the same appellation. They both had the rare gift of Winning friends and holding their goodwill. The son was born but a few months before his father’s death. He grew up in the neighbor- hood, save for a couple of years when his mother and he lived in Minn. As he grew to manhood he gave promise of a hearty manhood and a career of usefulness and honor; but a year ago , he was taken down with malaria i fever.
