We lthought at the time it was purely .accidental, but now we are of the .opinion that he meditated suicide. as he drowned himself yesterday about noon in what is known here ‘as “Moffat’s hole” where a num- 'ber of drowning accidents prev- iously occurred. He was living with his 'daughter. Mrs. Charles and was missed about midday. A couple of hours later his body was discovered floatingl on the water by a couple of boys.l They notified his son-in-‘laww Charles Proctor. who. in company‘ »with Nat. Harvey. took the body from the stream and carried it to his home on South Countess street. Mr. Swindlehurst was 84 years of age. was born in England but has been a resident of Canâ€" , a-da since he was 16 years of age. ‘He has been in this town for the past eight years, having come from Wingham to live with his daughter here.

With the opening out of rural' mail routes, persons sending let- ters through the mail will do well to remember that the one-cent drop letter rate is good only whenl the letter is lifted at the office at which it is posted. Persons sending letters to parties residing on rural mail routes will have to pay the two-cent rate of tWo cents for every ounce or fraction thereof and parties on rural mail routes will have 110 pay the same rate on ‘letters addressed to other parties on the same route, or on other routes, or to persons residing in town. The whole matter may be summed up by stating that all letters must be paid for at the two-cent rate where said letter |has to be “carried" or transport- ed by a mailman, the one-cent. 0r drop-letter rate applying only ‘when the letter has not to be .taken from the office at which it 'is posted for delivery by an auth- | . gul'lZBd courier of the Department. The Entrance examinations are over and the results known to the examiners, but the regulations of the Department forbid their pub- lication until sanctioned by head- quarters at Toronto. We had a dream a few nights ago and we saw exery member of Miss Mac- Kenzie‘s class of candidates going home with their certificates. Our dream is going to turn out true and Miss MacKenzie and the can- didates recommended by her may again look forward in full ex- pectation of seeing every name re- corded when the names are given in print to the public. Miss Mac- Kenzie has never yet had a fail- ure in Durham and we have full faith in the correctness of our vision. Why, of course, they all passed from her room. Last week we referred to the' refusal of Mr. Allan to accept a salary of $1,800 to conduct the Model school in Kingston, and ex- pressed the gratification we thought the citizens should feel at his decision to remain here. This week we regret to announce that Miss Julia Weir has resigned her position on the High school staff, and will likely engage elsewhere. Miss Weir has always borne a high record as a teacher and we are quite confident the Board will have difficulty in getting another of equal ability. Though we have no personal interest in the matter, for the sake of the educa- tional interests of the place, we regret to learn of her resignation. We wish her every success, and from what we have already learn- ed we’ll soon be in a position to announce her engagement in a better school at a better salary. At the Glenelg Centre Garden Party last week some person or persons indulged in the very danâ€" gerous trick of removing the nuts from the Wheels of Rev. Mr. Prud- ham’s buggy. and we understand he was unable to find them. Surely the young people of this enlightâ€" ened community can find more el- evating pastime to indulge in. We are not sure whether it was buys from town 'or country who played the dangerous and nasty trick. but it is equally reprehensible in either case. On Thursday evening last. a, number of the young people of the Methodist church assembled '. at the home of Mrs. Sparling to: extend a welcome to Mr. and Mrs! W. A. Glass. who returned a ten": days previously from their honeyâ€"l moon trip. A very pleasant even-i ing was spent. a special feature! of the evening‘s visk being a pre- sentation to Mrs. Glass of a beau- tiful cut glass water service. A number of brief congratulatory addresses \vere made expl'esslVe of the general appreciation of the happy young couple who have launched on the sea of matrimony. Last week we referred to a seiz- ‘ure of liquor at the station. and the returning of the same to the claimants who put in a declara- tion that the parcels were for pri- vate use. We were then under the impression that the matter had been brought up before the magis- trate, but this was not done. In 'an interview with Inspector Allan ,he told us he did not carry out l the requirements of the law. which 'calls for an investigation before a magistrate whenever a seizure is made. It was to save the expense of an enquiry which led to a sur- render of the goods on application of the claimants. We would like to be able to tell our readers just ‘how much spirituous and malt l . aliquors respectively can be ibrought in for private use. Mr. Abraham Crutchley had an old-:tashioned barn raising on Mon-day afternoon, and everything went well till the racing contest was well under way when an ac- cident occurred in which three or four men were injured to some extent. In putting up one of the purline plates, the timber slipped back, and that so few should have been injured is almost miraculous. The piece of timber, as we under- stand it, had a rope attached, and was pretty well up, when it slipped back in some way. Elias Edge, ir., had his wrist broken. and Walter Middleton sustained injuries, and a couple of others were more or less hurt. Fortun- ately, there were no fatalities. and a few weeks will see everybody all right again. We didn’t see the accident, and those who did seem to give such different versions that we prefer to omit the details. SUICIDES BY BROWNING DURHAM. 0NT.. THURSDIAY July 3,1913 The deceased lady. whose maid- en name was Mary Lawson, was born in Bentinck. near Hutton Hill. on May 28. 1861. and grew up to young womanhood in the vicinity of Durham. In November. 1585. she was married to William R. Edge. and to them were born two children, Valerie and Herb. who. with their father. remain to mourn her loss. She also leaves one sister. Mrs. George Hapkins, and two brothers. William and Robert Lawson, all near Durham. She was a woman of exemplary char- acter. kindly. considerate. and ever ready to help in any good cause. She was beloved and res- pected by all who made her ac- quaintance. She was a member of the English church. To the sor- rowing ones we extend our sym- »pathy in the hour of trouble. MRS. W. R. EDGE. After a lingering illness. MKS. W. R. Edge. of Edg‘ Hill passed peacefully away on Monday evenâ€" ing. at the age oi 52 years. For several years she has not been very strong, but it was not until a few days ago that hOpe given up. JOSEPH LADDER. l On Saturday, July 5. Mr. A.W.H. Lauder received a telegram from; Kamltiovs. B.C.. announcing the] death of his uncle, Mr. Josephl Lauder. The message.came fromi his daughter, Miss Annie. and con- tained no particulars beyond the announcement of death that morn- ing. The deceased was the last surviving member of the family.| and was the youngest brother of} the late Registrar. Thomas LauderJ who died here on the 25th of Jan- uary last. He was 74 years of age, being born in Beweastle. Cum- berland county, England, in 1:539. In 1851 he came to Canada with his parents. Subsequently. about '5 years ago. he married Matilda Moore, sister of Mr. B. B. Moore, well knuwn here. Over 3‘) years ago he went to British Columbia and engaged in ranching for a number of years and later held a position under the Government. For the past ten years he has been living a retired life in the town of Kamloops, while his large ranch in the Nicola Valley has been un- ,der the management of his son. ‘William. He leaves a family of three sons and four daughters, all grown up. His wife predeceased him ten or twelve years ago. He was well known in this town and vicinity, having lived here for a number of years. \VILLIAM BROWN. The tOWn was sta'rtlpd on Friday evening last to hear of the sudden and 'rather unexpected death of Mr. William Brown. About eight or nine weeks ago he had an at-. tack of pneumonia. and. was so low that his recovery was (loubt-' ful. He recovered. however. and‘ was fairly well and able to 'be around. His heart was weak aml’ he had to be extremely careful m ' his movements. At. the time of his illness he was living‘ at rvv936i933vvvvvv H 5" (D home of his brother. John Brown. of Holstein, but as soon as he gained sufficient strength he \‘is- ited his daughter, Mrs. Storrey, in town, for a few days. He again returned to Holstein and seemed to be gradually improving. On Friday last, he came to Durham with his daughter, Sadie, who came. from Saskatchewan to wait on him after he first took sick. It was his intention to remain for a time with his daughter. Mrs. M. Sto‘rrey, here. He arrived on the afternoon train, seemed quite cheerful and well, and ate a hearty supper. After supper he took a chill, and about nine o’clock the same evening, his spirit took its everlasting flight. He was born in Tyrone, Ireland, on the 17th of August, 1839, and was, therefore, lacking only afew weeks of reaching the 74th anni- versary of his birthday. In early ago the family moved to Egre- mont, and a few years later the subject of this sketch married Jane Eddington, who predeceased him five years ago last month. There was a family of ten children. Continued on page 4. OBITL'ARY \V 218 NO OLD STOCK ODDEPP:>>>>:>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>DD>Â¥>>>ED>>>>>>>>>O MONSTROUS MiLLlNERY SALE S. F. MORLOCK 20 per cent.
