With a few days more of spring sun, 3 little warmer than what we have been getting the past week, motoring will be general in this part of Ontario. Motoring for business is possible now. and cars have been in town from Toronto and Guelph, and at least one commercial man is doing this section of the province by motor and called on Durham customers last Monday. _ ~_- Up to the present, however, it has been anything but a. pleasure, with the exception of a very few days, though this condition cannot last very much longer at this season of the year.

SAMUEL ACHESON DIED IN NORTH DAKOTA Word has just been received at this office of the death on March 17 at Westhope, North Dakota, of Mr. Samuel Acheson, a former resident of Egremont, where he dwelt for a number of years before going West. Mr. Acheson has quite a large con- nection in this part. He was a brother of Mrs. William Hill, who lives north of Durham on the Pro- vincial Highway, and a half-brother of the late W'il iam H. Lee of Egre- mont. He was also a cousin of the Patterson families in Egremont and possibly others of whom we have not been informed. Wes Fermer Resident of Bgremont, Where [any Relatives Reside.

He grew to manhood in that province. In 1873 he married Miss Mary Ann Sirrs. Four children, all boys, blessed the union. In 1875 he removed with his family to Morris, Minnesota. He came to Bottineau County, North Dakota, in 1899 and located on a homestead four and a half miles southwest of the present town of Westhope. Mrs. Acheson died in 1904. He was remarried in 1906 to Mrs. Emma Harris, who survives him. He leaves three sons: W'il- liam. of St. Louis, Mo.. Robert of Salt Lake City, Utah, and S. J. of Hibbing. Minn. The latter was the only one who was able to be present at the funeral. His son, Alexander, prgccded him to the great‘heyond in Mrs. James Webber Died This Morning There was no one hurt. and very little damage done to ex on the rollâ€" ing stock. The prini’cipal i‘nconâ€" xenience was to morning newspaper subscribers who like to get their papers at noon and pore mer them at the dinner-table while wifie 18 reading the riot act because they didnt get home before the p1tatoeys get cold. Mrs. Webber has 'bee'n an esteemed resident for many years and very highly respected.__ ___ - _, -- “ “For a long time Mr. Acheson had been a sull‘erer from cancer of the bladder. His suffering was both in- tense and prolonged, he being re- duced to a mere skeleton. But he bore his troubles with great forti- tude nad with true Christian resig- nation. By his departure the family circle is bereft of a dear relative and our county suffers the loss of a good Citizen. 1901.

FISHING SEASON SAME AS LAST YEAR date. Some few weeks ago The Chronicle gave the information that. the trout,â€" fishing season was to Open this year on May 15 instead of May 1, and close on the ist of September, thereâ€" by cutting fifteen days off each end. This, information \"as given in good faith, and was correct in so far that As intimated in a former article, there will be a meeting of the sportsmen of the county called next month at a. place and date to be set later, in which this whole matter will be threshed out. and a series of suggestions drafted for presentation to the Government. Bailifl’ Was Injured When Auto Upset Likely No Change Will be Made in Opening Day This Session. The trout-fishing season for 1924 will open on the lst of May, so far as. The Chronicle can find out. \Ve base this statement on the fact that 3ame Warden Ely. who was in town last week, had had no official notifi- gation of a change in the opening it was the recommendation of the Fish and Game Committee. The Le- gislature, however, which prorogues this week, has not passed on this 'piece Of legislation and it is more than likely that the fishing season will remain as in former yearsâ€" May 1 to September 14, both days inclusive. It is altogether likely. however, that this will he the last year for these dates and that the future seasons will be shortened considerably in order that the fish may have a chance.
