It isn’t likely that the meeting of the Canadian Press Association held in Toronto on Thursday, Friday and Sat- urday of last week will he of much general interest to readers of this paper. The attendance was good and much profitable discussion took place in the Daily and Weekly Sections.’ The new International Postal Regu- lations, which makes it almost prohib- itive to send local papers into the United States, was discussed at some length, and from the general tone of the discussion it- Was quite evident that local publishers did not take very kindly to them. As some concessions have since been made to publishers of daily papers. the publishers 3f weekly locals thought it only fair that they should be allowed an equal privilege, and the postmaster-general is to be interviewed in relation to the question. A very profitable address was deliv- ‘ ered by Mr. )Iadill McCormazk, of the. Chicago Tribune, in which he strongly ’ advocated a purer, better and more: reliable class of advertising. The ad-l vertisements he considered a part ofi the paper, and deception practised by' an advertiser should in part be blamed E on the publisher, who accepted such' advertising. Referring to a certain! medicine, which is usually regarded l more as an intoxicating beverage than l V as a medicine, he acknowledged having 1 made a contract with the company‘s once, but now the Tribune would not! laccept it. Would have no hesitancy‘ ‘ in advertising it as an intoxicating i beverage but not as a. ' medicine, in ' which case it would be misleading and false to the readers. The writer was not present at the banquet on \Vednesday night, given in honor of his Excellency the Gover- nor-General of Canada. It was for men only. and these, according to published announcements, had to ap- pear in evening dress. This restriction was subsequently withdrawn and vis- itors admitted in their ordinary paraphernalia. An excellent program -is reported. The Toronto Press Club treated the out of town visitors with their usual liberality, supplying them with dinner on Friday evening in the Temple building, and then entertaining them to a theatre party at the Royal Alex- andra, Where “The Liars.” an English play, was given in good style. Saturday morning the C.P.R. gave the publishers and their friends a special trip to Guelph. free, leaving the Royal City on the return trip to Toronto at 6.15 p.m. The day was spent most profitably at the Agriculâ€" tural College, Principal Creelman in a most courteous and genial manner marshalling the company through allg parts of interest. Beginning at the Dairy Buildings, which were in full operation, the visitors had an oppor- tunity to witness the actual operations in butter-making, cheese-making, pas- iteurizmg, skimming, etc. etc. Here I they could fill up with buttermilk, and 'were subsequently treated to biscuits land cheese. and at one o’clock they ’ were set down to a dinner that makes 1 one hungry to think of. We visited the Live Stock and Poul- try departments. the horticultural buildings, where could be seen some fully developed tomatoes and other growths that will not naturally devel- op for many months yet. We cannot go into detail. Enough was said by the college lecturers to fill a. couple of issues, and many more might be filled in telling what was to be seen. The address by Mr. Zavitz on Grains was highly profitable, and those who could practise carefully the result of five or six years’ experiment as to the best times to sow grain in the spring would be profited very largely. Next holiday season a special course in agricultural teaching is to be given for the benefit of Public school teach- ers who are able to avail themselves of the privilege. and it was here sug- gested that School Boards appropriate sufficient money to send their teachers there for the term. This, we think, would be money well invested, and i the returns in the way of agricultural a, instruction would be returned directly | by the teacher, whose increased know- ledge would fit her infinitely better work in that particular line. Principal Creelman, all the other Professors, students and college girls stand infinitely higher today in the opinions of the press, who will doubt- less have greater confidence and inter- est thafi ever before in publishing the various bulletins sent out by the Agricultural College. This visit to the College seems to the writer to have been the most profitable part of the whole Convention program, and we_ hope ere long to have it “7E are in receipt of a. copy of “In- dustrial Ingersol” in pamphlet. form of twenty-four pages, printed on good paper, well i] ustrated. and reflecting credit on the Ingersol Sun, where the work was executed. by our old school mate, Mr. T. A. Bellamy. BifRHAM. MARCH 12. vRWIN. Editor and Proprietor. THE Mrs. Duncan Campbell, of Dornoch, and in course of conversation learned 1 that Mr. Campbell is 77 years of age, 1 and Mrs. Campbell must be crawling ‘1 well up to the three score and ten j mark. Mr. Campbell was born in 1 Scotland and came to Glengarry when 1 quite a child. In 1815') he came to Ben- ‘ tinck and took up land near Dornoch, ‘ ever since. Mrs. Campbell was a Miss : McIntosh, sister of the postmaster at ‘ she came from the township of Esquersing, all having made the jour- ney on foot in 1843 or 1844. On the 9th of April, 1856, she was married to Mr. Campbell. There were no roads at the time that could be travelled with a team in summer. Not until ;abont 1855 or 1856 were bears and E wolves numerous in the vicinity, when the Campbell family lost 20 sheep and two calves one night. Deer, pigeons! ’and partridge wene plentiful. Mr.» ‘1 Campbell came up tq, this part in com- l ipany with James Smith, father of] ; \Villiam Smith, who died recently ati i Dornoch. For twenty-five years Mrs. iCampbell's father, Mr. McIntosh. was! {a member of the Sullivan Council. lThey referred to the great changes isince they first. moved up here, and. iincidentally Mr. Campbell mentioned3 2 that he tendered for and received the :contract of chopping, clearing and icorduroying a mile of the Durham l 3 . Road this side of Allan Park, and that ibetween Bentinck and Sullivan, and 3 later on cut down the hills and fitted the road for better travel. The con- gtract, he tells us, was let by one Gib- ‘ son, a Government officer of the time. " Mr. and Mrs. Campbell are still active [and have apparently many years of : usefulness before them. \Ve enjoy to "hear the pioneers give an account of ’ themselves, and evidently Mr. and ' Mrs. Campbell enjoyed giving any in- 'l formation we could think to ask about. The L. O. L. Concert on Tuesday evening last. though not too well at- tended owing to other attractions, was a good one. and all who availed themselves of the opportunity and attended were treated to a first-class program. Mr. W. Irwin was chair- man, which position he filled very acceptably, though called upon unex- pectedly owing to the absence of Mr. J. Blyth, Varney. who was unavoided- ly forced to be absent. The chief attraction of the evening, Mr. Bert. Harvey. Toronto, furnished the fun, and from his first appearance convulsed the audience with roars of laughter. A lightning-change artist. he appeared in “Chinee,” Dutch, Iish and Scotch characters without once leaving the stage, and in all his selec- tions kept his hearers bubbling over with merriment. Mr. Harvey is un- doubtedly the best singing comedian on the road to-day, and will have no difficulty in getting a return engage- ment here. Songs by Miss Brown and Miss Wilson were much appreciated, and they were forced to respond to encores on every occasion. Mrs. Newton was accompanist, and also rendered two piano selections in her usual masterful way, receiving hearty applause at each appearance.

THE DURHAM CHRONICLE The anniversary services of the Baptist church, commemorating the fifth year of the building of their mag- nificent chapel,.were held in that edi- fice on Sunday and Monday last. The Rev. Edgar Allan, of ‘Vingham preached at the Sunday services, morning and evening, and on Monday evening delivered a lecture on “Steps to Success.” Mr. Allan 1s a man of pleasing perq sonality and possessed of unlimited eloquence and his stand in the various aigmnents he chose to put forth, the real definition of “Success,” though adhering closely to strong religious principles, were not at all bigoted, and his manner of reasoning and find- ing flaws in the average man’s under- standing of the word and demonstrat- ing the folly of the modern definition convinced all who heard him, that they were listening to a man who was not treading on unfamiliar ground, or dealing with a subject he knew noth- ing about. Dividing the English people into eight periods, the warrior, chivalric, cultured, licentious, religious, then back again to liceutiousness. mone' tary, and intellectual, he dealt briefly with the history of the country from the time of William the Conqueror till the present day. Mr. Allan thought that a man to be successful should have a clear and distinct understanding as to what it is. If he misunderstood the _1neaning of the term he could not succeed. The common definition given to the word to “Win some high position” be dealt with at some length, illustrating throughout with “imaginary” success- ful men. The man who goes into bus- iness, no matter what, and accumu- lates a large share of this world’s goods is regarded by the world as a successful man. This, the reverend gentleman thought, could not be true. Out of ten thousand men, according to this definition, not more than one was sucâ€" cessful. Can you call the others fail- ures just because they do not rank among our moneyed men? The definition is too narrow. If our successful men constituted the most intellectual or had in its ranks men of unblemished character, or en- dowed with undying loyalty or love to God we might recognize the definition, but to-day, Mr. Allan believed, we have many of our so-called “success- ful” men who could not stand the test and whose very success has depended upon their dishonorable methods. The business methods of to-day are wrong, and a business man to be suc- cessful must generally be a man of no heart. “Get money, honestly if you can, butâ€"get money,” seemed to be the watchword. Another definition of the term, “ob- taining what one aims at” or “to ac- complish what you set out to do” was shown to be equally erroneous. A man according to this, might set out to do an act, and whether the act be degrading or not, if he accomplishes it, he is a success. Mr. Allan in dealing with his subject reviewed it from every possible stand- point, and showed the fallacy of the twentieth century definition of the word. Summing up. he thought the true definition to the be "filling of the sign for which we are created.” The address lasting over an hour anda. half, was never once dull, and was the most complete lecture on that particular subject we have ever heard. Mr. Newton in a few words, ad- dressed the audience and called upon Mayor Calder, who, after a few pre- liminary remarks moved a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Allan, the choir, Who dispensed sweet music during the evening, and to the Baptist congrega- tion who made it possible for the people of Durham to hear so interest- ing and elevating a discourse.
