The enthusiasm of the people of \Valkerton seems to have abated somewhat on the matter of a banquet and Celebration on the open- ing of the new U P.l{., VValkertou to Saugeen Junction branch. Some time ago the members of Durham Town Council instructed Mayor (‘alder to look into the matter, with a View to holding the celebration here in case \Valkerton was not going to hold one. The \Valkertonians, however, decided that Bruce county’s County Town was the only place, and the matter was dropped. At a meeting held there on Thursday night of last week, no great enthusiasm was shown, some even thinking the matter should be dropped, and it is likely that that is just what the outcome will be. Had \Valkerton have allowed the Durham Council to go ahead with the thing, the matter would have been settled by this time and the banquet and celehrao tion a thing of the past. The following composition was pre- pared by a. school boy who had been instructed by his teachers to write an essay on editors: “I don’t know how newspapers came to be in the world, and I don’t think God does, for He’s got nothing to say about them in the -â€" -_ -‘c ‘Ln editor goes he gets a charge 01 mug..- shot.

An aged farmer from the home country decided to make a. visit to Toronto.

Mnckler. \Ve had the pleasure. if such it can' be called, of being shown through Grrey County’s House of Refuge ata Markdale on Monday last. and were; most agreeably impressed with the: condition of affairs as they existin onrl home for the aged. Though it has been frequently reported that the House was not. all that it. should he. and the treatment received by inmates not the best, we found them all enjoy- ing themselves either in their oWn, rooms or out in the grounds, and apparently as happy as could he desired. But the immaculate cleanli- ness of the interior of the building was what struck us more forcibly than anything else. Though our visit took i place on Monday. when the week’s washing was in full swing, the manag- er, Mr. Harness. (lid not appear at all discomfited, as does the head of the house on this busy day. Nor had he ‘ reason to be, for the appearance of the i living and the sleeping apartments, or ', in fact any other part of the building‘ was not at all suggestive nf tumultuous Monday . It is generally assumed that the} human race is the only one that has the habit of contracting the malady known as “snakes” and it remained{ for some hens. the property of Mr. A. 5 Schreider, of Dornoch, to knock the bottom out 0t this old-time assump- tion. Last spring Mr. Schreider could not understand why his hens quit lay- ing so suddenly, until he discovered they were being molested by snakes, who stole the eggs. Before he was done he had placed 26 of the reptiles on the has-been list. A couple of weeks ago history repeated itself, but with the experience of a few months ago Mr. Schreider was not so long arriving at a. conclusion. This time he is not so lucky, however, as, so far, he has succeeded in sending only eight of his crawling friends to snake para- dise. It seems the snakes come and scare the hens off the nest, appropriate the eggs and carry the shells off with them. It is to be hoped he will this this time be able to thoroughly eradi- cate the robbers of his hennery. DURHAM, 0NT., THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER ID. 1908. The barns of Miss Farr and Joth Staples, ou the 2nd of Glenelg, werei burned to the ground about noon on 1 Friday last, together with all the sea- ! son’s crop. The fire originated, it is supposed, from a spark from the engine of a threshing outfit, which was at; work on Miss Farr’s place at the time. The flames were from the first beyond I control, anda strong south-westerly wind carried pieces of shingles over to ‘ the property of Mr. John Staples, ‘ nearby. Soon his barn was in flames, and as he had only threshed the day before the dry dust acted almost like powder, and spread the fire over the entire structure in less time than it takes to tell it. The two crops were itotally destroyed, together with a l team of horses belonging to Mr. Geo. Aljoe, who was working the Farr property on shares. For a time it looked as if the property of Wm. Weir would also be destroyed, but by hard work on the part of himself and neighbors, was kept from spreading further. The conflagration is to be regretted, especially at this season of the year when the contents of the barn means so much to the farmer, and the losers have the fsympathy of all in their loss. . Mr. Keeler was born in Harriston nearly twenty-eight years ago. going with his parents when seven years of age to Teeswater, and afterwards liv- ing in Exeter, Hespeler and Preston, where he was engaged with his father in the jewellery business. A. R . KE FILER. The town was shucked on Sunday morning last when the news was pass- ed around that Roland Keeler had died suddenly the night before. The deceased was in his usual health. on Saturday, having been around and apparently well all day. About twelve o’clock Saturdaynight he was sudden- ly taken seriously ill, and though medical aid was at once summoned, he passed away about one o’clock. His death has cast a pall of gloom over the place, and his sudden taking off in the prime of life is to he regret- ted. Mr. Kepler was very pupular with the young folks of the town, who, with the rest. of the citizens, deeply sympathize with the sort-owing family in their bereavement. About four years ago he cmne to: Durham where he has renmined ever: since. He leaves to mourn his loss, his father, R. B. Keeler, of Welland, a brother, Clifton, and-rm sister, Miss Keeler, to whom we extend the!- sympathy of the community. l l MARY MACFA RLANE. On Friday last Miss Mary Macfaw- lane passed away at the home of her brother, Mr. Donald Macfarlane, Rob Roy, from an attack of cancer, from which she has suffered for the. past four months. The deceLsed lady was in the fiftv- first year of her age. and a must estimable woman. Interlulent took place on Sunday to Priceville cemetery. DENNIS RYAN. After an illness lasting only eight days, Mr. Dennis Ryan succumbed on Sunday to a severe attack of pneu- monia at his home on the fourth concessinn of Glenelg. In good health previously, his sudden demise was wholly unex pected, death taking place before it was knuwn he was indisposed. He was thirty-eight years of age, and a member of the Roman Catholic church. Interment took place in St. John’s R. (J. cemetery. Glenelg, on Tuesday. Mr. John \Villiams is in Toronto.
