A number of the progressive farmers in this vicinity have added the luxury of a telephone to their home equipment. Luxury, did we say? Yes, and a necessity as well in these days of progress. The cost may seem a little high at first. but once in use, such :a con- venience would very reluctantly be dispensed with. Every phone ad- ded to the list increases the value 70 every present subscriber, and Mr. Matthews is a son of the late George and Sarah Matthews. who lived on top of the hill. and for years engaged in the cabinet business. He started his trade as a printer in the Durham Standard office. under the late S. L. M. Luke. whose memory he cherishes. and for whom he has a goodmvord to say. speaking of him as he knew him in those early days. He continued as a printer until 1884, ten years of which time he spent as editor and proprietor of the Roscommon. Michigan, Pioneer. Since 1886 until two years ago, he was in the employ of the North- ern Pacific Railway, at Tacoma, ’Washington. Failing in health. he retired from the railway service, and has since been travelling in Washington, Oregon, California and Michigan. He now intends to spend 'a few months in Canada, with friends and former acquaint- ances, and says he hasn’t felt as, well for ten years as he does no:W. Before winter sets in, he intends to return to his home in San Francis- co. We wish him a very pleasant visit, and trust he may experience increased health and vigor under the bracing atmosphere of our Canadian home. ’ Over Fifty Rural Phones Added to Durham List. the addition of more than fifty new connections 'Will bring the town and country" into closer touch and, we believe, a more friendly relationship.

As a slight token of our esteem and appreciation, and as a re- minder of happy associations, we ask you to accept this gold brace- let. all too brief stay, a lasting place in our affections, and indeed in the affections of the entire congrega- tion. We shall not soon forget our hours of work together whileyou strove to inspire us with higher ideals of musical service. Nor shall we forget the hours of social re- laxation when we were permitted to see and appreciate that other side of your'- character Iand to realize that our Conductor was also our intimate friend and com- panion. Our lives are richer and better because of having known you, and we trust that the links of friendship thus formed may en- dure as long as life itself.

Dear Miss Irxvin,â€"It is with feel- ings of most profound regret that we gather to-night to say fareWell to you on the eve of your depart- ure from our midst. The two years of our association have been ex- ceedingly pleasant, and for us ex- ceedingly profitable ones. You came to us an utter stranger to assume a position of great res- ponsibility and one necessitating very considerable toil. Right nobly have you discharged those duties. displaying at all times the greatest iudgment and the best of tact, holding the balance always fairly and impartially and by your own industry and perseverence in- spiring us to nobler service. You have won for yourself during your \V e July 4th. Program, games, tea and eatables of the very best. will be on! the bill of fare. and possibly a good game of baseball. We hope for a good turnout of both old old and young.
