At the meeting of 1:116 town comm- ci‘l on Tuesday night, a proposi- tionafrom the Durham Furniture Co.. was submitted, and a resolu- tion carried to have a by-law vot- ed on by the people, at the earliest possible date. The company, in brief. agrees to build an entirely new factory at a cost oi $50,000 to $60,000, to give employment to at «least 100 hands, in addition to the sixty they are now required to em- ploy. The present factory will be converted into a chair and table factory with sixty employees in constant service. They ask a loan from the town of $20,000, without interest, repay-able in twenty an- nual payments of $1000 each, first payment to be made in one year from final passing of the by-law. They also ask (for the usual tax exemptions, except .for school and local improvement purposes for a period of ten years. .Should the by-law carry, and we think there is not much doubt about it, the company will start at once to put in the foundations, so as to get right to work in the early spring. A letter from J. A. ‘Sirrs, of Unity, Sask., reports the craps as “inst fair” in that locality. Yet, he thinks it a good country. Messrs. Steurnall Glass, suc- cessors to L. C.

The good people of Zion have just out another “nick in the post" over the suedess of their annual garden party on Monday evening lat-Q. While the crowd was not so large as last year, still, it was a big one, and Zionites are well sat- isfied. with the attendance at their big annual gathering, which is getting to be a well-known and popular event. Supper was serv- ed from 7.30 to 8.30, and a sumptu- ous one it was, the credit for which belongs to the feminine portion of that community. That they were well pleased with the success of their labors, could be easily seen in their smiles of satisfaction, as pie, cake and sandwiches disappeared down the voracious necks of the hungry ones. Supper over, the program started, and with R. T. Edwards as chairman, Was run off without a hitch, the versatile R. Knox church held their annual garden party on Watson’s school' grounds, Normanby, on Tuesday evening, at which a bumper crowd . was present. The whole affair, as far as refreshments. program, and ‘ enjoyment was concerned, was a big success, and the crowd was right well and royally entertained , from start to finish. The only thing to mar bhe evening’s plea-s- ure was the conduct of a bunch of Durham rowdies, w‘ho interrupt- ' ed the program at all stage-s, and tore down a number of lanterns that were placed about Uhe' ground for lighting purposes. We under- stand steps are being taken to have the guilty ones prosecuted, and it is to be hoped that the pre- siding justice will hand out. a sentence that will touch their liberty as well as their pocketbook.

When they reach- ed 'Mr. McCrie’s gate, they were overtaken by a man driving a single rig. As he 'had considerable of a load, he expressed regret at not being able to give the ladies and children a ride, but took the grips, and drove on. The old-er boy, who is about ten years of age, hang onto the rig, and not- iced the driver interfering with the grips, which were left at Mr. Rus- sell’s gate. On examining them' later, Mrs. Russell tells us the grips were broken open, and some of the ladies’ clothing, valued at ten or eleven dollars had been stolen. The person is not known. We have no idea of any person: in the adjoining township mean enough to steal a woman‘s cloth- ing. We would like to see him caught, and punished if found guilty. DURHAM, OWL, THURSDAY.
