' THE Toronto “Saturday Night” is now running a series of articles on men who have served Great Britain in the army at home and abroad. This week’s issue will contain a sketch of Mr. Fred H unter, an old Durham boy, now serv- ing in India. This will be especially interesting to old-timers around here who will be pleased to hear of a Dur- ham boy‘s success in foreign lands. \VE chronicle this week the death of Mrs. Buckingham, south of the town. The old lady lived here for many years and is always referred to as a hard working, industrious and honest wo- man who had an uphill climb in life. She was seven ty-eight years of age and could be seen frequently on the streets until a. few months ago. George Buck- ingham and Mrs. Downs are two of her family. THE South Grey Temperance As- sociation held a meeting Tuesday night in Calder’s Hall. The atten- dance was fair and evidently in earn- est. Rev. Mr. Farquharson gave a historical sketch of the origin and de- velopment of the license system and showed that improvements were being made all along the line. His opinion is favorable to the two-fifths vote on the question of local option or the re' peal of the same. THE real spring weather seems to have come at last. Up to the present the nights have been rather cold and indeed frosty. There was not, sumc- ient rain apparently to take the frost out of the ground and vegetation was slow in starting. A goodly down pour of warm rain on Tuesday night has changed the face of nature and things are looking brighter. Spring work is progressing favorably and while the weather has not been good for growth, it has been excellent for work. THE Grand Trunk station at W'alk- erton was burned last week together with a considerable quantity of freight and n couple of cars of rattan goods that might have been pushed out Of the way had there been the exercise of a little presence of mind. The old stall. n was away out of town and there was much trouble in getting the fire engine and brigade there in time to be of much service. From the newspaper reports we do not imagine Starting the plant on the 7th day of April and getting the machinery all g running. he turned out for the balance éof the month of April 27565 bhls., the : management last year under the sup- iervision of Mr. H. H. Farr started one Iday earlier in the month turned out § 15716 bbls. The National Portland Cement‘Co" Limited. is turning out the largest output of any marl cement plant in Canada, the average daily output be- ing 1200 to 1250 barrels per day, and this beats the record for any eight kiln wet process plant in the world. The National Brand is the leading brand of cement in Canada. and have yet to receive their first complaints as to quality. The new Superintendent. Mr. Geo. McGrane. who installed this plant always maintained that if the plans was properly manned and run to itt full capacity that it should turn out more cement than any plant of its size in the world on the wet process system and under 1118 supervision he has demonstrated by actual opera- tion that his views were correct. The stockholders and Directors of N. P. C. 00.. Ltd., made wise selection in electing Mr. R. H. Mc‘Villiams as President as he has personally reman- ned the Mill, the present output show- ing his ability as to putting the proper men in charge of each department. That merry young spirit Daniel Cu- 3 pid Esquire has got busy again, and among the latest to throw up their; hands is Mr. Simon YOung, a former Hanover boy now residing in Durham. ‘ Simon withstood cupid’s wiles and woman's loveliness as long as any reasonable man could be expected to, but now he is a staid married man and abeliever in the desirability of con- nubial bliss. His wife is Miss Anna J. McInnis and hails from the neighbor- hood of Kilsyth. All honor to her! The last act in the drama was consum- mated at the old homestead on \Ved- nesday of last week and was witnessed by the immediate friends of the con- tracting parties only. The young couple were unattended. Rev. Mr. Watson tied the knot securely. The bride looked chanming in white silk. Her travelling suit was blue, with white trimming. Mr. and Mrs. Young will reside in Durham and here’s a wish that they may have long life, happiness and prosperity.â€"Hanover Post. “’9 must reduce our stock of Furni- ture, owjng to building operations: Bedroom sets were $25.00 selling for $17.00.

DURHAM, 0NT., THURSDAY. MAY 3. 1906. AT Notwithstanding the busy season in,‘ the country and many other attrac- tions in the town. there was a goodly audience in the Presbyterian Church on Monday evening to hear the ad-{ dress by the Rev. T. McCullough of Harriston, on “ Canada from Ocean to Ocean.” Beginning in the mists of the eastern coast the speaker took his audience over the bright and smiling‘ lands of the east and left them a little 1 over an hour later, straining their; eyes to see through the fogs on the‘ ocean shores of the setting sun. \V'e‘ visited the land of Evangeline and saw her waiting at her door for Gabriel as she waited long ago, \Ve saw the prim little village of the habitant by £the Baie de Chaleur and the quaint and narrow streets of ancient Quebec as well as the mighty trees of the west. “'e had steamers, trains and trolleys at our service and contented ourselves with a look at the outside of lordly hotels when we had not money enough ’to enjoy their more substantial hos- pitality. \Ve passed round the barren 'shores of Lake Superior and felt re- i freshed when we stood again, like the [fair damsel in the olden time among i the sheaves of yellow cornâ€"All these scenesâ€"the lonely bachelor in his chaotic attempts to keep house, the : broncho branding and busting and the. {reaping and threshing of the fruit of l the fieldâ€"all these had their interest, but the part of the address that held the audience the most intensely was i that which presented the steep frown- iing glories of the rugged but awe in- . spiring Rockies. A few well selected Iscenes thrown on the canvas give a little idea of these mighty works of the Creator than could be conveyed by pages of wordy description. The solo by Miss Jean Brown and the duett, by Misses Ida \Vilson and Nora. Galvin were well received and all felt they had spent a helpful and enjoyable evening. Lots of Durham men have religion. but they carry it in their Wive’s names. Every girl is anxious to be handsome. She might improve on this by being anxious to be useful at the same time. A woman that can’t put a. patch on her petticoat or sew a button on her husband’s trousers hasn’t yet com- plete her education for usefulness. We don’t; mind seeing a man well dressed if he can afford it, but, his suit always seems to fit, better when his tailor bills are paid. The weather this spring hasn’t been satisfactory for the showing of new hats. How provoking to have ram every Sunday ! BEAR in mind the Grey Lodge No. 169 intend holding a monster demon- stration here about the middle of J une‘ Premier W'hitney, R. R. Gam' ey and others will be present. Mr. J. A. Glass who has been away for the past two or three years in Philadelphia and elsewhere, returned home a couple of weeks ago. He oc- cupied the position or Merchant tailor here till he sold out to Mr. Flarity and left for the land of the Stars and Stripes. He is now exhibiting a very unique contrivance in the shape of a coaLoil stove which gives evidence of good work. The device, we under- stand is covered by American and Ca- nadian patents and Mr. Glass has the right for a portion of Canada. It_ is not an ordinary coal-oil stove, though coal oil is the fuel used. It is so con- structed that it can be fitted easily in' to an an ordinary cook stove. range or heater, and the expense according to circulars we have seen is only three cents a day. Of course the expense is based on the cost of coal oil on the other side of the line, and with the higher price of fuel here it will be somewhat more expensive. By using it is claimed that an ordinary stove may be used for all domestic purposes including heating just as coal or wood ale used, but with no ashes or dirt to ‘ remove. It seems to work 3111 fight The 3lst Regt. goes to Camp‘m iagara June 12th. Any one wishing to go must sign the roll by May 26th as that is the last date. A few more good re- cruits will be taken.
