WHEN a Scotsman answers a ques- tion he settles the matter in dispute once for all. On a certain occasion. the question was asked: “W'hy was Mary Queen of Scots born at Linlith- gow ?” Sandy Kerr Promptly answer- ed : “ Because her mither happened to be staying there at the time,” and there actually seemed to be nothing more to be said on the subject. the ofiicers for their careful oversight of this work closed the proceedings, and the Rally Meeting of the Junior League 1906 was a thing of the past. ELSE‘WHERfE we give a clipping from the Dundalk Herald relating to the theft of turkeys and grain. He would indeed be a foolish man to steal tur- keys and have to go to the expense of buying grain to feed them. It’s a great disgrace to think of such whole- sale thievery. but Dundalk is not far from the fire bug section which furn- ished so much material for reflection and so many subjects for the peniten tiary only a few years ago. We are sorry to know that our sister town should be in such proximity to what is evidently an organized band of thieves. THE friends who listened to the pro- gram rendered by the members of the Junior League on Friday night were delighted with the evening’s entertain- ment. Profitable instruction and pleasing entertainment were distinc- tive featuresz the meeting. The Rev. Culling presided, and Miss Spar- ling (in Miss Irwin’s absence) had charge of the musical part of the en- tertainment. The young members so well acquitted themselves in every part that one can only say that each number was excellent.

They are ireally wonderful musicians, and to see ' the skillful way two of the young men handled their violins in the dozen or more different and dimcult positions was alone worth the full price of ad- mission. They had everything they advertised. and the performance was given in full. SUBSCRIBE for the Chronicle, the people’s paper. Ox Saturday afternoon last a. boat- ing disaster occurred on Georgian Bay when a. boat cabized and six Indians. of the Cape Croker reserve, were drowned almost in sight of their own home. THE proprietress of the Comely House, Owen Sound, was fined $60.00 and costs for selling liquor. The bar- tender stated that he didn’t know what he was selling. THE failure of Messrs. Disney and Devlin will he regretted by many of our readers, and more especially by those in the vicinity of Hanover they were highly esteemed and re- spected for their business ability and fair dealing. \VE congratulate the Hanover Post on the neat appearance it presents in a brand new dress. consisting of new type, new rules and new headlines. The Post has always been neat and clean in its get-up, tasty in its make up and spicy in its matter. The recent change will make it better than ever. These things cost money and we hope Brother Mitchell will be rewarded for his enterprise. AFTER a lingering illness extending for a period of several years, Mr. Don-. ald C. McArthur died at his home on \Vilton avenue at an early hour Friday morning. The late Mr. McArthur was born in Argyleslnire, Scotland, 69 yearsi ago. and came to Canada 50 years ago, ! settling in Artemesia township. Later: he remm'ed to Priceville and in 1873 he married Miss Mary Cameron at that town, who predeceased him three} years ago. One year following Mrs.‘ McArthur’s demise, he removed to Owen Sound and has been a resident untillthe time of his death. Although ill for several years, he has only been confined to his bed for three months. In religion Mr. McArthur was a life long Baptist; in politics a staunch Re- former. A family of four boys and one girl survive. The funeral took place from his late residence on Satur- day afternoon at 3:15 to the C. P. R. station, where the remains were con- veyed to Priceville. interment being made at that place Sunday afternoon. -â€"Owen Sound Advertiser. Deceased was a brother of Mrs. C. McDougall. OUR Hutton Hill correspondent has forestalled us in writing an account of the Pie Social held there an Friday night last. The report is all right. so far as the character of the program and financial result of the social are concerned, but we cannot. agree with in in regard to the order, which we be- lieve was the worst; we ever witnessed at anything of the sort. It was the first pie social we attended for years, and the cuauces are that considerable time will elapse before we go to anoth- er. It was not to be expected that a. packed house would be perfectly quiet, but where Indies and gentlemen join together socially there should be a. much greater effort made to get along without noise that verged on rowdy- 1811]. These noisy entertainments are far [.00 common, and we regret that We. are forced to form an unfavorable opinion of a Sunday School Entertain- ment. Some will blame the town boys. and no doubt they were bad enough, but so fan-as we could see they were no Worse than some others who Were present. to go unchecked in our concerts and' public entertainments. Older people, ‘ if they have sense, will always frown down disorder, and we know or some who hate to go to any public gathering on account of the rowdyism they are forced to put up with. Now this should not be and indeed would not be the case if our Town Council and town Constable did their whole duty. We are not going to say much this time, but we regard the conduct at some of our public gatherings as a disgrace in any community professing to be civil- ized. We are quite sure that a good fine or two imposed on those who dis- turb public meetings would go a long way towards improving the conduct at these gatherings. The law makes provision for these things, but the law is no good unless its machinery is put into operation. If the Council, the Constable, the Police Magistrate and the moral sense of the better class of Ethe people would only unite on this ipoint and put the law into eflect, if lnecessary, the reign ' of rowdyism would soon come to an end. IT'S quite a relief to hear some of our young people denounce the disor- derly conduct that is allowed too often DURHAM, 0NT., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6, ‘906.

The machine is said to be all right and we wish Mr. L. success in his work. have not the mail accommodation to get their budgets in in time for the current week, and their news would be stale if held over till next issue. This is correct in part, but the items should be published for the benefit of friends far away. Newspaper items should not be intended for those who already know them, as well as the writer. Readers in the adjoining township may learn many incidents they would never know if publication had not been given, and certainly readers in remote parts of the world will not refuse to read an item from their own neighborhoods simply be- cause it happens to be a week old when it goes through the printing press. Incidents that occur here the day we publish will be a week old by the day we publish again, but for this reason should not be omitted simply because the citizens would regard the items as stale. Let correspondents and others send in every item of good wholesome news, and in this way each will be do- ing his or her part to make the local paper bright and breezy as it ought to be. A word to some of our correspond- ents may not be amiss. Many of them think it useless to write because they The old pioneers are rapidly passing away. Du the 25th of November, Mrs. ; Barber, relict of the late Matthewi Barber, of Normanby, breathed her last at the age of 88 years. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, she came to Cana- da in 1842 and settled for a time north of Durham, and has been a resident of the vicinity ever since. Eleven years ago her husband died. Five of her family, two sons and three daughters, survive. The surviving members are Richard. Matthew, Isabel (Mrs. Henst- ridge), of Hamilton, Carrie (Mrs. J. Grant). of Detroit, and Janet (Mrs. John Nowry), of Detroit. Deceased lady was a devoted member of the U Presbyterian church, and attended service for many years at Knox church. Normanby.

Burglars made a daring attempt at robbing the home of Mr. Thos. Charl- ton near Chatsworth last Sunday week. Mr. Charlton. who works at the C. P: R. freight sheds Owen Sound. went home on Saturday night and it is supposed that the burglars knowing of his home coming and thinking he would have money with him planned to rob him of his wages and anything else they could get. On Sunday night Mr. Charlton retired to bed about eleven o’clock and soon was sound asleep. Mrs. Charlton was awake and just after her hus- band had retired the dog barked and gave an alarm Later Mrs. Charlton heard some person trying to break open the door between the kitchen and the house and awakened her husband, who jumped out of bed and watching for a few minutes saw the knob of the door turn. At the same time the weight of a man was thrown against the door. 'As their son Wil- liam was eXpected home Mr. Charl. ton thought it might be him and called out “ls that you Willie?” Immediately the person at the door ran out of the kitchen door. On dressing and getting alantern Mr. and Mrs. Charlton found that the kitchen door. which had been fasten- ed by a large cut epike inserted in the latch. had been pried up by a ilarge instrument shoved under the lbottom of the door.
