The Zion people have their eyes open for business and have select- ed Durham’s 'Civic holiday for their annual garden party. They chose the same day last year, and as they put up a good quarter’s worth of eatables and amusement, it is more than likely that there will be a large attendance lrom here next Monday. Dr. and’ Mrs. Macdonald and two children, of St. Catharine's, accom- panied by a couple of friends, were in town last Wednesday night. On Thursday morning, the doctor made good 'use of his time in shaking hands with many of his Durham :friends, who were delight- ed to see him appear in such good health .though about a year ago, he was given but a few weeks to live. The Dr. says he is thoroughly well now, and never felt better in his life. The party left in their auto on Tuesday for Toronto. on the ankle, and in trying to get the hors’o unhitched, he got a clout on the knee from one of its feet. Happily, nothing was broken .except a gear on the separator and the whip, and after a short delay. Mr. Ryan proceeded to his home here. This might (not have been the case, however, had the animal not been run into the bank when it was. as a few feet farther on, a galley, fully fifteen feet in depth, would have proved a not very inviting or safe place to be (lumped into. 0 Mrs. Samuel Lawrence, who spent the last two years with members of her family in Vancou- ver, New Westminster, Kamloops.

E. -Iliff, amd two daughters. of Vancouver, B.C., and visited all along the line as far as Port Arthur, where they had a pleasant time with Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Lawrence, formerly of this town. They were over three weeks from leaving Vancouver and enjoyed the trip Very much. Mrs. Iliff and children will spend five or six weeks with relatives in this vicinity. While driving down one of the big hills in Egremont last week, Mr. Thos. Ryan, of this place, had a mishap that laid him up .for afew days with a sore knee. In the descent, the breeching gave .way, letting the wagon rum up on the horse ,which started to kick and run. After a short struggle, the animal was steered into the bank, where everything turned turtle, horse buggy amd all. In the mix- up,va cream separator tumbled out of the wagon. striking Tommy The Walkerton juvenile lacrosse club has been expelled from the C. L. A. for playing a man under an assumed name at the Durhamâ€" Walkerton game at Walkerton. The juvenile series of this district has been a farce all summer, the Durham and .thesley teams being the only ones that bear the marks of a clearly juvenile aggregatim as to size, to the disinterested ob- server. But there’s no use in kicking, as the local management have found out. In Questioning the Hanover management espec- ially, they were not even given the satisfaction of being 'told that they were not over seventeen years of age, but were told to go ahead and prove that they were not. This, to an observer, would apparently not be hard to do, were the records searched, or else, to the daddies of Hanoaver belongs the honor of being able to raise the biggest seventeen-year-old kids in this part of the country.

O 3 On Sunday last the CanadflanOr- der of Foresters had a decoration iceremony in memory of their de- 'ceased brethren. At two o’clock, éabout fifty of the members were iin readiness at their lodge room, ;and, led‘by the Blst Regimental lband, they marched to the ceme- itery, notwithstanding a heavy Train, which, to a considerable ex- ;tent marred the journey and pre- lvented many from attending. The :ceremony was conducted very snicely and floral offerings were :laid on the graves of the seven :who are quietly sleeping the sleep that knows no waking .in that city iof the dead. Rev. Dr. Farqu'har- lson was in attendance, and in the ’cemetery made a very appropri- !ate address to the assembled Ibrethrern.

The prolonged spell' of dry wea- ther a few weeks ago, caused much :fear amongst farmers that the crops would be a failure, but the frequent showers of the past two or three weeks has changed the whole .face of mature, and from many localities we hear excellent reports, and strong indications of a good crop generally. \Though we find fault at times with the kind of weather that’s given us, and express our several wishes for something different, it is just as well we can’t all have our own way. Perhaps “whatever is, is best,” if 'we could only think so. Unfavorable reports have come from the West, where craps are not likely to come up to the gen- eral average. Prospects are bet- ter since the late mains. The death occurred in Buckley, Mich., on July 15th last, of Mr. John Tel'ford, son of the late Mrs. Hugh“ MacKay. Mr. Telford lived here some twelve years ago, sub- sequently moving to the States. Where he has since resided. Some time ago, he was taken down with cancer of the stomach, from which he never recovered.and which was the immediate cause of his death. Mr. Telford was 33 years of age, and besides a widow, and son. 8 years of age, he leaves six sisters, Mrs. Geo. MacKay and Miss Mamie MacKay, of this place; Mrs. Tins. Menzie, Seattle, Wash.; Mrs. Shock of Buckley, Mich., Mrs. Chapman and Miss Rebecca of Syracuse, N. Y.; and Miss Marie, of Toronto. The funeral took place on July 17th last, and interment Was made in the cemetery at Kingsley. DURHAM, 0N1, THURSDAY, JULY 28, I910. Writing from Moosomin, Mr. J. C. Jopp, says: \it is generally known that the crops in parts of the West, including Dakota, are an entire failure, and the fine prom- ise of May and June is “like the last rose of summer.” Slouth of the main line 01' the C. ”it ,from Winnipeg to the foothills, in Al- berta, there are thousands or acres being plowed under. Sas- katchewan is the exception, where 90 per cent. of the wheat area will give an average crop. This is, however, a lailure in a strip 30 or 40 miles wide, north at the Am- erican boundary, but l'rom there onward, they improve, till the lim- it is reached 0.1' the wheat growing country. On the last day 01' June and iirst of July, we had a heavy rain, and under a tropical sun every day for three weeks, people were beginning to get anxious, as wheat on spring and fall plowing was beginning to show the effect of the drouth. When all anxiety was set at rest, at 10 p. m. last night, July 22nd, when a iine, gentle show'er fell, and [has con- tinued for twelve hours, which see- t‘les tor good any doubt as to re- gsults in- this part as there were ‘many’ who claimed, even before this rain, that their crop had as good an appearance as last year. I notice wheat is quoted at Winni- peg at $1.171-2. We have had now a .few weeks’ experience of local option, when all the terrible bugaboos of blind pigs and wild tigers would infest the town, and be form-d in every livery barn and feed stable, in fact in every hole and corner where they could cover up a keg of whiskey, and drunk- eness would be such that temper- ance people would regret the passing of the by-law. But what are the conditions as we found them yesterday, the day of our adjourned, owing to rain, lst of July sports. Only one drunk re- ported at the Mounted Police Bar- racks, and he was disorderly on the railroad platform on coming 01! the train from a Western town.

The school at Uxbridge was destroyed by ‘fire on Monday. The .fire started in the woodshed and destroyed the shed, the school, and a stable across the street. Loss about $15,000, partly covered by insurance Mrs. Walter Jones, of Moftat, near Guelph, disappeared from her home about ten days ago,and notWithstanding a vigilant search she has not since been heard of. She was about forty years of age. and attractive in appearance. There is some reason to believe she made away with herself, it be- ing thought she acted strangely for some time past. The renting of Russell’s old stand in- the McIrntyre Block, by Mr. Levine, who purposes moving in his .stock of dry goods about the first of the (month, has played havoc with the bowling alley, which has been packed [up and stored away until another suitable stand can be secured dor it. We understand there is a likelihood of its locating in H. H. Mockler's old stand, on the Opposite side of the street, which Mr. Levine is vacating. The garden party 'under the aus- picei of Amos church, on Thursday last, held on the :premises of Mr. A. Henry, Tartan, was not so successful as amticipated, the heavy showers amd general inclem- ency of the weather keeping many away. 4Though the committee had gone to considerable pains and expense in erecting a platform and seats in the bush, .it was im- possible to hold the festival there, and the crowd repaired to Mr. Henry’s barn, where a super- ior line of refreshments was dis- pensed. The weather also pre- vented the attendance of many who were on the program, and the 3lst Regimental band, of this place, rendered the greater .part of the evening’s entertainment.
