Those whose early effor ts were the means of raising L anada from a then vast wilderness to a place among . the nations, are rapidly joining the1 silent majority. On \Vednesday of last week, the grim reaper called on Mrs. S. Scott. and bore away one of the best known and most highly re- spected citizens of our town. W'ith ,only a few days illness. the news came 'as a shock to all, and before many knew she was ill, the intelligence was received that she was gone. The deceased lady was born near Londonderry, Ireland, seventy-eight years ago, and her early life was spent in that locality. She was highly edu- cated, having graduated from the Londonderry Ladies’ College, and for a number 'of years taught school in her native land. Over fifty years ago she came to Canada, settling in Lanark county where she again engaged in teaching school, moving west to her home in Glenelg about fifty years ago. She was twice married, her first husband being Mr. Thos. Culbertson. who died over forty years ago, by him him she had three children, Dr. R. B. Culbertson. of Dauphin. Mam; Susan, (Mrs. R. J. Johnston) Cannington and C. M. Culbertson. V. S.. Meaford. Nearly thirty-six years ago she wed- ded Mr. S. Scott. her surviving hus- band, and sixteen years later they left farm for town life. entered the mercan- tile business in the old Carson building now Stinsons propel ty. From there they moved one door north, where the business is still conducted. Interment took place on Sunday last in‘Durham cemetery. the remains be- ing followed to the last resting place by a large concourse of friends and relatives. MRS. S.

Civic Holiday, BORN. DI’RHAM CHRONICLE Though the score went against them, our lacrosse team acquitted themselves honorably in Markdale on Thursday evening last in an exhibitlon game with the Aberdeens of that place. The score at full time stood 3â€"2 and Durham strong and playing rings around the C. P. R. town. The first quarter was all Durham, our team’s combination work being too fast for their opponents. who scarcely saw the ball the first ten min- utes. The latter part of the first quar- ter saw Markdale score, Graham doing the trick on a fluke. PM“ __JJ The pace was too fast to last how- ever, and as Markdale wasn’t troubling any, a little slower game was played ‘ the second quarter, Durham landing one between the flags. This evened ‘ the score. Rain spoiled about five minutes, in this quarter and the teams were forced to seek what shelter was available for twenty minutes or more. This is just exactly where we lost.. The new exhibition grounds have asI yet no buildings on them other thani the ticket office and standing in a cold: rain is not conducive to fast lacrosse; playing. \Vhen it cleared up every- , one was cold. the ground was slippery, , l and we couldn‘t get our combination ’ in effectively. It was almost impossin 'ble to stand up. Brute strength was no good, combination was not practic-l able. and Markdale’s long distance‘ throwing made the last half of the game very slow. It wasn’t the kind :of lacrosse Durham is playing this year. It wasn’t the kind spectatorsl like to see. Just a sample of “I can ‘ throw farther than you.” In the melee Markdale captured two more and Dur-l ham one,--and just here let ns whis- [per something. \Vith our boys play- ing strong, and a Markdale man on the ticker, time was called with a little more than nine minutes in the fourth quarter payed, and though “if” is a big word sometimes, a dif- ferent story might be told had the game been allowed to go on till the » fourth quarter Was up. Be that as it may, we are fully sat- isfied. \Ve’ll throw no slurs on Mark- dnle’s lacrosse team. It’s a. good one and possibly the best Markdale ever, had. Durham had no cinch, and though we got a. little the worst of the deal on the time, we won’t say the la- crosse boys were responsible. . Perhaps the watch gained. l‘ ’1 i This game is just what Durham wantedâ€"a practice game with some strong team. For some time, we have been confident we had a w1nning bunch, now we are more so. A score of 3â€"2 against a. strong team on their own grounds is something to congrat- ulate ourseh es 011. The fi1st two quarters we had the advantage, and, ‘ but for the rain. are positixe we could have held it. That was the stumbling point. \Vet grounds and good fast combination work such as we have will not work together. 1' 'l' 'l‘ ‘ Graham. who played with Durham last season is considered to he Mark- dale’s fast man, and perhaps he is. He’s a good player all right, if he wants to, but when he gets mixed up in a home such as Durham team sends out this year, he certainly has to go some. \Ve hope he may do some good lplaying for Markdale this yearâ€"even better than he did in the Hanoverâ€" Durham game here last summer. Arthur plays here Friday the first schedule C. L. A. game of the district. \Ve’ve heard they’re coming up with the intention of swamping us and showing us how to play the game, but from the showing made by the Dur- ham team they’ll have a job. The game is called for 3:30 and will bea good one. i‘ + + Con. Marrin and Art. Pickering left for snnnier climes on Monday after- noon last, and took with them the well wishes of the Durham Lacrosse Club, though which well it was we have yet to. learn. They were both good lacrosse men, and the Club would have liked to retain their services. though the team, as it stands is about ! as strong as before. Con. was a good home man, a good general, and a man 1 whose position on the lacrosse field will be hard to fill. Pickering, also, was fast enough for us, though he hadn’t shown up in his usual form so far. In their places come Herman Wendorf and Charlie Briggs two men hard to beat, and who are well enough known here not to need any unneces- sary introductions and soft soap. Our eyes because our so-called stars had flown, need have no fear. We’re still in the ring with all the ropes up. and we’re not going to be the first to jump. " ‘l’ ‘l‘ ‘l' We are in receipt of a letter from one of Hanover-’8 lacrosse sports, dew scribing the Hanover-Chesley game in Cheeley on Victoria Day in which the latter won 6-3. Though Hanover’s LACROSSE The Durham Furniture Co} bunch was beaten he "says they got it fair and were well treated at all times. He is loud in his praise of the Hanover Juniors’ playing and says there is plenty of material fora crack team. \Vhy lacrosse was allowed to go to pieces in Hanover he can’tunderstand, the more so since Hanover-’s old stand liys have got positions on good teams all over the country. \Ve would like very much to publish his letter, but time and space forbids. FOOTBALL- The local \V. F. A. foot-ballteain was defeated on the grounds here Friday evening last by Holstein, who are now champions of this district. At no 1 stage of the game was there any brilli- ant playing by either team, and com- bination was altogether unknown. From one end of the field to the other, a little mix-up at this goal. and away they go for the other one, was the pro- gram from start to finish. The long- ‘est and hardest kicker was the best. Holstein should have a better team than they have, and they certainly will have to get them to do anything with Mildmay, their next opponent. + #- -;- Durham’s bunch did very well and showed up better than their competi- tors at times, and we believe they are a superior team, but sadly out of prac- tice. Bedroom Suites Sideboards Extension Tabies Parlor Tables Parlor Suites Couches No man can play two games and do it well. The football team was com- posed to a certain extent, of lacrosse boys who played “just to help out.” They were good men all right, with practice would be as good as any, but with lacrosse first in their minds, they simply wouldn’t practice football, and the result is seen in Friday’s game. Eleven men who know each other, and who have had the practice and can work together, are much better than eleven who may, individually. be much faster players, but are not acquainted with each other’s style of combination, call and inspection Solicited No trouble to show goods and give prim! We have the material, all we want is the practice. \Ve would advise the organization of a football club next season with the understanding that it is one game or none. \Ve have plenty of young men who don’t play lacrosse and who would be willing to try their hand (or feet) at football. That’s what we want. If you’re a footballer play the game, and practice. If you like lacrosse, do the same thing. But for goodness sake don’t mix up in both of them and make a failure out of all our town sports. Johnson of Mildmay x-efe reed the game in an impartial manner and had no trouble in keeping the boys in order. y»*%*%%*%%%%% %z%%%%%%y»w ».y4%my.» i Watches 3% Watches 3:; Watches .____...__.._.._._._ LIMITED .
