In town we are. told on the side that Mavor PErWLE are. usually busy about this season of the year, and particularly so around a local newspaper office, when advertisers are putting their best feet forw-er in the search for trade. Though Mrs. Newton’s organ recital was one of the chief events of the week. it was absolutely forgotten by us till the paper was out, and it is needless to say we regret the over- sight. Mrs. Newton is deservedly con- sidered a. high class musician on piano and organ, and her selections are ap- preciated by a music loving audience. \V t? A duet by Mrs. Newton and Miss Brown was much enjoyed, and Miss 'l‘wamley appeared to good advantage in two or three recitals, “The Organ- ist ” being particularly well rendered. .Ir. IIBW'CL', of London, was the vocal- ist of the evening, and his selections were all high class and fully enjoyed by all present. He has a fine full bass voice under perfect control, and his lack of ostentation commands the at- tention of his audience. This was his first appearance in Durham, and we are sure he will be appreciated on his return at some future time. .{me SEE THE STOCK OF CASE PIPES AT DARLING’S tex 0n 1 ready L that eddy to run agair that, Mr. Calder is 1 to cute“ the mu: eMuy 01 thy.

He was accompanied home by his mother who was visiting her daughters. Mrs. McLeod. of Collingwood, and Mrs. Mc- Queen. of near Stayner, the past month. THE Dunnville Gazette has the following article in its last issue:â€"“A well authenticated rumor is in circula- tion that the Oneida. silver wedding tragedy was the using by one of the guests in the preparation of the dinner of white hellehore instead of pepper, which is a. mistake that can easily be made.” LKTCKY BAXâ€"Last week’s Review, says Dan McKelvie, of New Liskeard, is one of the lucky Cobalt boys, hav- ing recently sold a small mining claim for $8,000. The next item tells of more joy in the same family over the arrival of a baby girl. J oy like sor- row seldom comes singly and while we congratulate Mr. and Mrs. McKel- vie we would like to know if there is any connection between Cobalt stocks and large families. SOME weeks ago we reported- Mrs. (Rev.) \Vray R. Smith of Arthur in a very serious condition of health. Re- cently. however, we learned from Mr. Smith that she is gradually improving and he lives m full hope of a. complete restoration to health in the near future. Mr. Smith himself is looking better than we ever saw him. He weighs 175 pounds and hes too big for his last year’s sclothes. PLEASANT Momsxrsâ€"It has been said with a. great deal of truth that you can never become really acquaint- ed with a man until you have supped with him. and in order to ensure a pleasant time good tea must he used. During the past sixteen years “SA- LADA" has become a familiar word to every newspaper render. and the fact that the demand is steadily increasing requires no comment: it tells its own story. “SALADA” is king. IT is rather difficult to tell whether the winter has really set in or not. \Ve have had some cold weather since the beginning of the month with changes to milder temperature and ap- pearances of soft weather. The sleigh- ing for the past few days has been good and considerable wood is coming in which is being sold at$2.25and $2.50 From the similar manner in which winter set in three years ago and the subsequent stormy season right through till April there is no telling what the rest of the present winter may be. DEATH FROM HEART FAILURE. \Ve never know what a day may bring forth, and the history of to-mor- row may astonish us all. On Thursday last Mr. Joseph Jaques was moving about in the flesh. Friday morning he was a corpse. On Thursday we printed bills at this office advertising his sale of farm stock, on Friday we printed his memorial cards. The deceased was born in Lincoln- shire, England, on the 14th of Febru- ary. 1831. He came to Canada. in 1861 and settled on the townline between Glenelg and Egremont, where he lived until about four years ago when he moved to Lot 68. Con. 2, E. G. B... Glenelg, about two miles from town. In 1863 he was married to Emma. Jane Harrison, who died last June. The union resulted in a. family of eight children, the following of whom are still living, viz.: George in Alberta, Thomas in the States, Mrs. Frank Guttman in Idaho, Josephine and \Villiam at home, and Susannah in Toronto. Mr. Jaques was a straightforward, honest man, a man whom one declares he never heard to lie or swear under any circumstances. He was a life long member of the Methodist church. and a. Conservative in politics, but not an extremist. For the past three or four years he suffered from heart trouble, and the family were assured some time ago that death might occur at any time, though they were not looking for the change when it did come. Interment to Durham ceme~ tery took place on Monday afternoon DURHAM, ONT., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1906. The twentieth annual meeting of the Jgremont Creamery Co. was held in Agricultural Hall on Saturday after- noon of last week. The attendance was fair, and but little discussion took place. Mr. David Allan, J r., occupied the chair and W. J. Sharp acted as secretary. The minutes of the last annual meeting were read and approv- ed. The auditors report was read and passed in the usual manner. The stock report showed that one hundred and ten shares had been allotted and fully paid. A dividend of 6% on all stock had been declared. During the year eleven shares had been transfer- red. It was decided to charge non- shareholders 200 per hundred for the manufacture of their butter. Messrs. D. Allan and A. Seim were appointed auditors. The election of officers re- sulted as follows :â€"D. Allan, J r., J. Douglas, \V. W'atson. F. Dillon, W. Ferguson, G. Reid and W. Morrison. At the close of the general meeting the newly appointed board met and organ- ized for the year. D. Allan, Jr., was chosen president and \V. J. Sharp was appointed Sec.-Treas. The Executive Committee are Messrs. Morrison, Allan and Reid. On account of the dry. sea- son the make was not as large as prev- ious years. However, 144760 pounds of good butter were manufactured, which sold for $30912.30 or an average of $21.35 per 100 lbs. The cost ofinan- ufacturing was $2.35 per 100 lbs., so that the patrons realized 190 per pound on an average for the whole season. Mr. D. W. Cameron outlined the benefits derived from the dairy in- structor, Mr. Hart, of the \Vestern Dairy Association. This is an industry that the farmer cannot afford to lose sight of, and he who does not patron- ize such an institution must eventually take a lower price for his home-made product. Dr. Jaz’meson, of Durham, was m our burg on Monday. Mr. and Mrs. G. Seim, of Ayton. spent a day with their sons here, lately. Several of our young folks took a. drive during the early part; of the week. We shall leave them to relate their experience. A report has been circulated that local option has cost the municipality about $500 since the passing of the by- law. \Ve are in a position to state that such is absolutely false. Not one dollar has been expended by the town- ship for the enforcing of the Act. Any expenses incurred have been paid by private subscriptions of the friends and supporters of the temperance cause, so that local option in the town- ship has had nothing Whatever to do With the taxation. Mr. J. H. Brown made a. business tri p to Toronto last, week. Mr. Lm'ne Kenny~ arrived home from Saskatchewan on Saturday night, and is the picture of good health. Our postmaster, Mr. T. Smith, has been ordered by medical care to re- umin in bed for three weeks, owing to heart trouble, hence, has employed Mr. S. S. Jaques to run the mail. To give the outside world some little idea. of the stir these days in the ham- let, it is only necessary to state that Jim Hastie clicked on twenty-two shoes last Thursday afternoon, besides puttingin rivets repairing forks and replacing a bolt here and there In old sleighs. Mr. J. J. Pearb is counted the crack shot: of the neighborhood. and last week he bagged a fine fox. A group of our needy chaps have agreed to go down into Egremont and sell their stock shares in the Farmers, Manufacturing 8: Supply Co. to those fellows who have been piling up a. coin reserve out of the same. The question bothering them is, “At what premium the stock should sell?” THE Sons of Scotland will have a grand concert in Priceville on Thurs- day; Dec. mth.
