“'illiam Britton was born in the Tp. of Bentinck 46 years ago. When not two years old, his father got hurt at a barn raising and died, leaving four, small children. Five years of his early life were spent in Parry Sound. He then settled on the 200 acre homestead in Bentinck. About ten years ago he moved to Glenelg where he resided till the time of his death on Sept. 4th. Nineteen years ago he married Miss Lottie Lunney. daughter of the late James Lnnney. of Bentinck. To them were born one son and two daughters. One daughter. Violet. is left to mourn the loss of her father. Flossie having gone before at the early age of ten years and eight months. and \Villie died in infancy. Mr. Britton’s trouble began with his heart but a complica- ‘ tion of diseases set in. His suffering he. bore with Christian fortitude, and on Tuesday morning he passed peace- fully away. In religion he was a Bap- tist. In the absence of his pastor, Rev. Mr. Newton. the Rev. Mr. Far- quharson conducted the service at the house and grave. Besides his wife and daughter, he leaves one brother and two sistersâ€"Mrs. H.

He said his father was working on the railway about two Or three "s "o‘â€" miles out and he wanted to bring him 1 to town. Driver and outfit failed tol to turn up and Mr. Caldwell became suspicious that things were not right, He set out in pursuit and followed the chap to Shelburne where he found him i in a stable with an entirely difierent Q outfit. Preparations were made for3 his arrest and the thief was put into custody for the time being to await trial which didn’t materialize fast enough to suit Mr. Caldwell, who gave instructions to hold him there till he would send Constable Clark after him. Mr. Caldwell got his own mare fand harness about eight miles; from Shelburne and came home. Tuesday he went out again in search of the buggy which he found a few miles the other side of Dromore. in possession of a farmer. The exchange was made and Mr. Caldwell came home with his own outfit complete. The deals were all evened up, no boot being given by either party. and there was no difficulty in the “trading back” process. Constable Clark went to Shelburne secured his game took him by train to Flesherton, and drove to Durham and put him in the coop here ’to await trial. which came off 'Wed° nesday morning before Mr. Telford‘ The young chap pleaded guilty and the evidence of Mr. Caldwell was taken when he was committed to Owen Sound for trial. He doesn’t appear extremely bright. THE annual meeting of the Durham Furniture Co. was held in the Com- pany’s Office on Friday night when a ' very satisfactory statement was made: of work done since rebuilding and reor- ‘ ganization after the fire. The prefer- red stockholders have received their 7 7, dividend, and President Dr. J amieson and Manager Catton gave promise of strong likelihood of a small dividend being paid to holders of Common Stock by the close of the present cal- endar year. Mr. Catton came in for a goodly share of praise for the efficient and able management of the concern, and his financial and executive ability in relieving the Directors of much of ‘ the burden they had formerly to en- dure. In fact the Durham Furniture Co. is now regarded not only as a go- ing concern but an institution that is on the highway to success, and the payment of dividends on all subscribed >capital. Orders are coming in well, iand much of the product has to be imanufactured after the orders are placed. The outlook for the furniture ‘ business looks bright, and the manage- ‘ment feels certain that the Company will be able to give account of them- selves. An effort was made to put Mr. Catton on the Board of Directors, but as his appointment would necessi- tate the removal of some member of the present Board he respectfully de' clined the honor. \Ve are highly pleased to know that Durham's first industry still stands without a charge for dishonesty or improper manage- ment, and every department is going on harmoniously. All the members of the old Board were reappointed. A new days ago Mr. David McClock- lin was standing on Garafraxa Street Bridge and he says “two other old chaps" came and joined. The question of age next came and it was learned that all three were seventy-six. Mr. McClocklin thinks this is quite a. coin- L‘ldGllCt’ and wonders if such a thing would ever occur again. The other two were John Hunt and J as. Calvert- Many have tried to devise a corn cure equal to Putnam’s, but after fifty years nothing has come upon the market that so painlessly cures cams and warts. Don’t experiment, use the best that’sâ€"“Putnam’s.” Constable Clark COOPed a Crook. MILLINERY OUR FALL MILLINERY has arrived and we have everything in stock to meet with the usual demand.
