The .stone contained the usual receptacle, in which was placed a copy of each of the leading newe- papers, including the Flesherton Advance, :and other documents, as well as the present coins of the realm. ’After the ceremony, and! the declaration that the stone was “well and truly laid,” the large company repaired to an adjoining grove, where a couple of hours were pleasantly spent in short ad- dresses, the key-note of each be- ing congratulatory in spirit, with ,a strong expression of hope that {enterprise would more than. satisfy the most sanguine expectations of its ardent supporters.

To Give You a Statement In Regard To ‘Fruit-a-tives Hannmcxn, Minamcm, N.B., Jan. 17th. 1910. “ I feel it my duty to give to you and the world an unsolicited statement in respect to the wondeiful cure I received by taking ‘ Fruit-a-tives.’ Chronic Constipation was the complaint I suflered with for years. M ' general 11631111 was miserable as a result of this disease, and I became dep and alarmed. I was treated by physicians without the slightest permanent benefit, and I tried all kinds of pills and tablets but nothing did me any good. I saw the strong’ testimonial in favor of ‘FruiL-a-tives’ by New answick’s ‘Grand Old Man’, the Hon. John Costigan, and I knew that anything he stated was honest and true and given only to help his fellow-men. I tried ‘Frnit-a-tlves’ and the effects were most mar- vellous, and now I am entirely well from all my Chronic Consti ation that I suffered from or so many years. My general health is once more excellent and I cannot say too much to express my thanks for the great benefits derived from taking ‘Frnit- a-tives.”’ A. G. WILLISTON. The township of Artemesia, and the village of Flesherton, consti- tute the school district. and in ad- dition to teaching the higher sub- jects of the school curr-iculum., special training will be given in Scientific Agriculture by a prop- erly qualified professor. The feel- ing ,that country children are de- tprived of many higher educational advantages for want of higher grade'schools, had its infhuence on the promoters in bringing the high Ischool to Hie child who would oth- ierwise be unable to get to the high 'school. While we have a person- al feeling in favor of all education- al progress, it is not our intention at this iuncture to try and con- vince others to think as we do. We know the futility of such an at- tempt, and wait for the changes that may come through a few Iyears’ experience. ‘ All the rural schools are engag- ed. to a greater or less extent, in preparing candidates for entrance to the high schools, but once the high school axamination is passed the child is often forced to quit school and his education is too fre- auently at an end. The expense of sending a child from home and paying for board and tuition is ofâ€" ten a great hardship on the fi- nanciallv overbuidened parents, who would often strain a point were a school at all conveniem. We are now looking forward hope fully to the time when the chil- dren of Artemesia will have the advantages of a higher education and when regular lines of convey- ances will carry them to school in! the morning and carry them homej LAID THE CORNER STONE ‘ THE DURHAM CHRONICLE again at night. This is not am en- tirelv new idea. It {has been in suc- cessiu-l operation elsewhere, and may soon be regarded as a neces- sitv bv the outlying portions of Artemesia township. It would not be looking towards an impossibil- itv to imagine stabling accommo- dation to be provided in the vi]- lage. or perhaps on the school premises when the children from different localities might take turns in providing means of trans- portation. We are living in an age of comparatively cheap bicv- cles which in many cases would serve .a good purpose for a con- siderable portion of the school :vear. Where there’s a will there's a way and a pupil who is anxi- ous for a higher education will “find a way or make it.” Mr. John Bolwnd, chairman of Board took his place as chairman on the platform to which he invit- ed Inspectors Campbell and Huff.
