\Vhile rummaging through the attic of the Middaugh House last week. the present owner, Mr. J. C. Nichol, discovered an old coat, and in one of the pockets was a letter dated at St. Thomas, Sep- tember 29th, 1891. The envelope was addressed to “B. F. Warner, Esq.,” and was signed by the. late H. J. Middaugh. In it the Writer stated: “We are here all safe and sound, and hope you and; all are well. We will leave here on Friday, the 2nd of October, for Toledo, and do not think we will be back until the 15th of October. If there are any letters for me send them here at once. Tell Billy to put .Jim in at nights, and. give him hay, but no oats. Tell Billy to see after him. W'ith kind re- gards to you and Wife, Iremain, Yours truly, H. J. .Middaugh.”‘. â€"The Chronicle has long advo- cated printed butter ”papers, but for some reason only very few in this locality have got into the way of using them. It will pay all good butter makers to use printed Wrappers. We have a supply of the best butter parchment made, and will be pleased to show you samples and quote rates at any time. .From The Farmer’s Advocate. The pound print is the form in which most retailers like to get their butter for the trade. .It is a convenient package for the maker in the farm dairy to put up. It is easily handled on the market, is What the dealer wants, and it pays to sell in the form which the market demands. Print butter al- ways has the best appearance, provided it is printed and wrap- ped in butter or parchment pap- ers. It is in a good condition to be used on the table, but its at-i tractiveness is made or marred by the kind of wrapper used. First, the dairy should be named, and the name. with that of the maker, should be neatly printed on every Wrapper. *Some design, appro- priate to accompany the dairy name, such as one of the best; cows. or a“brand” mark adds to' the attractiveness. There is no: better way of pleasing customers; than by putting up good goods; in attractive parcels. It is possiâ€"i ble with butter, and never should it be neglected. Butter should bet known by the dairy name, and the i way to establish the trade is to? keep the name on the wrapper? before the customers. I It may here be stated that the late Sir John A. Macdonald died on or about the 6th of June pre- vious, and enterprising publishing houses were getting out biographâ€" ies of the deceased statesman. In the same pocket was 3. mos- fpectus of a work to be publish- "ed by the Earl Publishing House, of St. John, N. B., sole publishers for the Dominion. The author,of the proposed biography was Lieutenant-Colonel J. Pennington Macpherson, A.D.C., D.C.L., a nephew of Sir John. The prepar- ation of this Work had been going on for some time, and facsimile letters from Sir John, Sir Hugh John, and Mr. Joseph Pope, an show that much time and energy had been spent in securing ;data for the work in preparation. On the back of the prospectus the following announcement ap- peared: “Agents wanted, to whom exclusive territory will be given.

TWENTY-ONE YEARS AGO PRINTED BUTTER PAPERS DURHAM. AUGUST 8, 1911 MHN £01m: cna, Pmpnetor. BORN An interesting game of baseball was played between a good little team from Hanover, and one of the town nines. From the- way the Visitors handled themselves, especially at the bat, it seemed to. Mayor Black was the chief direc- tor of ceremonies, and called the numbers in his fine, stentorian voice. The Hanover lacrosse boys didn’t turn up, but a spirited game was played between two Durham teams instead. us as though they stood a good chance to win. The decision, how- ever, was 14-13 in favor of the home team. The Visitors were better in making bases than the home boys, and were good batâ€" ters. It was only an exhibition game, however, and didn’t make much difference. Calithumpians.-â€"Cox and Rabbe, R. Campbell, E. A. Goodwin. Bicycle race, 1 mile.â€"E.A. Good- win, J. M‘cClocklin, J.

After all the hungry ones had their cravingsr well satisfied. the band led the march to the agricultural park, and it wasn’t long till the hillside was dotted with six or seven hun- dred, who paid their fares, and a number who took in the sights from vantage points outside. It was a great success, and all must have been pleased. with the excellence of the program. The Staufferâ€"Coutts-Bain Scottish Concert Co., Will not soon be forâ€" gotten by those who had the privilege of listening to them on Monday night. We say the “pI'iVâ€" ilege,” for the hall was packed, and many had to be denied aydâ€" mittance to the hall. Mr Stauffer is a Walkerton boy and proved himself to be a good clean humorous entertainer. Mme. Coutts-Bain is a Bentinck girl, a daughter of the laté Alex. Coutts, of Crawford, and as a trained vocalist, she has very few superâ€" viors. Every number was good, and from her first selection, she had a spell-bound audience. She was allthe better because she is one of ourselves. Mr. Howard Russell made his apps-finance here for the first time, and in justice, we can say nothing but praise in reference to the masterly rendering he gave to every number. on the land, and Jupiter Pluvius slumbered and slept all day. It was a pleaSant day, neither too hot nor too cold; just the kind of Weather to suit the sight-seers and performers on the field of sport.

In fair- ness to her we may mev'ition it was her first time to accompany Mon- day night’s artists, but she fell into the work With much ease. Next time, she will be right at home. The Firemen’s celebration on Civic Holiday, must have been a success. The morning appeared as though rain might be expected. However, Old Sol soon smiled up- An unusual suit for $25,000 dam- ages has been entered by a girl named Essie Carter against W. S. Dozier, clerk of the Superior Court of Terrell county, Georgia. Dozier horsewhipped the Carter girl be- cause his wayward son had, be- come infatuated With her and she had refused to relinquish her influence over him.
