It was impossible to secure the names of the smugglers to-day, but it is likely they will be given out for publication on Monday. For some time spotters have been at work. with the result that the unfor- tunate twenty, who thought that they were securing great bargains in De- troit, got caught. The smugglers have been in the habit of going down on the dollar train excursions Thursday and once a. week by boat, and they never dreamed that they were being closely watched, although they were warned several times. FEMALE SMUGGLERS CAUGHT, MUST PAY. Most of the smuggled goods was wearing material, which the women wrapped about their persons uhder their clothesâ€"London Free Press. The community is much worked up over the affair and certain well-defined suspicions have been voicedâ€"London Free Press. Lyons, Mathew Burton and John Lewis were formost in the fight to abolish the sale of liquor and last fall Lewis’ barns were burned mysterious- ly. Shortly after the Burton tamily awoke on Sunday morning just in time to see two men setting fire to a straw stack. The best game of baseball of the season was pulled off on the amicul- tural grounds on Thursday evening last when the Bankers and the Cement Company clashed for the first time this summer. Though it looks as if the Bankers have their fingers on the town cham- pionship this year, the Cementers are certainly going to hold second place, and with more team work and a greater amount of practise they should be able to keep close enough to their opponents of Thursday night to make it interesting. and at the same time have a chance to come out first in the series. Though the banking aggregation won by the score of 9 to 5, they were kept on the job from start to finish to hold their lead. Both teams were weakened by the absences of one or more players, but the game in its entirety was full of excitement and sensationalism. and those who attended the match were keptin anticipation from the beginning to the end of the contest. It is believed by the community that the setting fire of the barns was part of a. concerted campaign against the farmers, who were instrumental in securing local option for the village of Ancaster.

Little York was. at that time, in its infancy, and when one .visits the metropolis t-o-day, he will find it almost impossible to believe that there is yet living in our midst a person who knew the place when it could not boast of a population as large as Durham. But such is the case of our subject, and in her recital of the happenings of eighty years ago, the positive though unassuming air of Miss Burgess is most com incing, her; great memory and knowledge of dates bordering on the marvelous. 3 From Little York, she and her fami- ly started out for the farm which had been purchased by her father about thirty miles from Toronto, and with only two yokes of oxen for transport- ing the party, their destination was not reached until the evening of the second day. Here they lived for many years, a happy family, and though all are now dead excepting Miss Burgess and a younger sister, it is with pleas- ure she looks back on the first few years she spent in the New Country, the great Canadian wilderness. After the death of her parents, Miss Burgess lived with her niece at Rich- view, where they kept the post office for nearly twenty years, subsequently moving to Bramnton and afterwards to Toronto Junction. In the year 1903. she came to live with her niece, Mrs. W. R. Edge, at Edge Hill, four miles from here, where she has resided ever since.

Losing the use of her limbs, she was forced to resort to crutches, with which she became exceedingly profi- cient, being able to get around on them almost as well and quickly as most peeple with the full use of their limbs.

PHILLIPS. ttie‘ \l The annual meeting of the South Grey \Vomen’s Institute was held on the 5th or June last in the town hall here, and the reports show a most successful year. In the South Grey district there are six branchesâ€" Durham, Elmwood, Hanover. Ayton, Holstein and Dro- more, and the membership runs well over one hundred and twenty-five. Each branch has its own officers and holds its own meetings, while the Dis- trict officers preside over the whole district. The officers elected for the ensuing year were as follows :â€"Pres., Mrs. R. Pettigrew, Varney; Vice-Pres., Mrs. J. Schnell, Ayton; Secy., Mrs. Thomas McGirr, Durham. From one million cords of pulpwood exported to the United States last year Canadians realized $6, 000,000. An expert says that the same amount of wood converted into ordinary pulp would realize $20,000,000. It is evident that in this one particular the natural timber resources of the country could be put to better use. But it takes capital, and plenty of it, to erect pulp mills. Therefore, capital should be I welcome, for the business and financial men of the United States know the peculiarities of North America and the North American. They will get full value for whatever investments they make, and their enterprise, through knowledge and acumen, will prevent unhappy failures which would do the country no good among other inves- tors. There need be no anxiety about a market for wood pulp. The paper mills of the United States need it, for the home supply of spruce is lament- ably low, and the demand for paper is increasing annually. In the meantime , it is probable that the export of spruce ! will continue, but the Provinces should be certain that the cutting is carried on according to the best principles of forestry. The spruCe areas of Canada need never be denuded if only mature trees are cut. Perhaps a restriction on the export of pulpwood would bring the mills to Canada more quickly than many persons imagine. This is one of the problems facing the Province of Quebec.â€"Toronto News. SOUTH GREY WOMEN’S INSTITUE On the 9th of J une, the delegates. Miss Bell and Miss Burnaby, addressed the Institute, the latter taking as her subject the comparisons of the foods. milk, eggs and cheese, and a talk on the girl’s education. Miss Bell’s address was of an entirely different nature, and in her chosen subject. the “Care of Invalids.” she demonstrated the arrangement of the sickroom as to screen doors and the art of bandaging properly. She also spoke briefly.on the proper food for the invalid. A very pleasing duet was rendered during the meeting by Miss Jean Brown and Mrs. Bert. Stonehouse. After a hearty vote of thanks to all participants. the singing of the Na.- tional Anthem brought the meeting to a close. 'O'V' â€"â€" â€"vrvbv UHCKU iv‘l.0 'v 1“.
