The first case to be tried was that of W, T. Wilson against Ernest Baxter. both of Egreinont. Wilson sued on a note given by Baxter as part payment for a horse, the other consideration being six pigs valued at about $40.00. The note was for $85M The horse turned out to be afflicted with heaves, after, accord- ing to the defence, having been re- preyénted as “all right”. The com- plainant denied having used these words. claiming to have said that the horse was “sound in limb and not a pimple on him.” The Court. while not very com- plimentary to the plaintiff, inclined to the belief that the words “all right" had not been used in the deal and that. therefOre, a breach of warranty had not been established. Judgment was given the plaintiff for the amount of the note and costs. Lucas Henry appeared for the plaintiff and Middlebro’ and McQuarrie for the defendant. An amusing turn was given the case by the insistence of \Vilson that he had not made a sale of the horse. but her made a‘ “deal” or "“3110”. intimating that it was his opponents own fault if he were bested. and the fact that the horse brought only $35.00 at public auc- tion. a month after the “trade”, was up to the defendant. The second case involved the sale of a used car bnymith Bros., Dur- ham. to Clarence Reiss of Neustadt. The car was represented to be in “good running order” and Mr. Reiss claimed the drive shaft was defective. The decision hinged on the evid- ence that one of Smiths’ salesmen had told defendant that drive shaft was not right, and was given in favor of defendant. Smith Bros. must within fifteen days, refund 850.00 paid by Reiss and take back the car, or, in deâ€" fault. action will be dismissed with costs. v Vifiddlebro‘ McQuarrie appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. McKay of Owen Sound for the defendant.

NOBLEâ€"VBSSIB JOHN HEDDLE DIED ' ON FRIDAY LAST Old Bantinck Resident Passed Away At Home of His Son in Hamilton. Mr John Heddle died at the home of his son, M. K. Heddle, 558 Bur- lington St. E., Hamilton, Friday March 9th, after an illness of one week and at the advanced age of ninety years. The late Mr. Heddle was born in Kirkwell, Orkney Islands, and spent fifteen years of his life on the sail- ing packet “Paragon”, plying be- tween Kirkwell and Leith. He came to Canada in 1873 and for many years sailed the Great Lakes as capâ€" tain of a freighter. In 1879 on March 9th, exactly forty-nine years from the day he died, he was mar- ried in Hamilton to Christina Mc- Callum, youngest daughter of the late Dougald McCallum of Bentinck township. She predeceased him five years. n After ietiiing from seaâ€"faring life Mr. Heddle with Mrs. Heddle, moVed to Bentinck township and conducted a general store at Mul- ock. or “Corinth” as it was known at that time, and later moVed to Lamlash, Vxhere he continued store- keeping and acted also as postmaster for some years about twenty years ago they moved to Hamilton and have since then resided with their son Mal- colm, xx ho conducts an extensive general store business in that city. -1 A The late Mr. Heddle, though of a retiring nature and always refusing to accept nomination for public of- fice, was highly esteemed as a man of sterling Christian character and a member of St. Andrews church, Hamilton.

The interior fittings for the new post office arrived on Thursday of last week, and were installed the following couple of days. The de- lay in their being forwarded was, according to Mr. Leo White, who arrived with them, caused by an overflow of work at the factory, the Interior Hardwood (30., of Kitchen- er. The furnishings are all in oak, and, with the well-lighted inter- ior, show up very handsomely. There are 319 private boxes and 111 drawers, each provided with three keys If two or three members of a family desire a key each it can! be supplied. or, if a key be lost, an- other is immediately forthcoming. The entire arrangement for hand- ling the mail is very convenient, and the employees will 0 doubt be glad to get into their new quarters. v The customs department is very richly furnished also, and though the amount of goods in bond arriv- ing here is limited at present, the new addition will prove of great advantage to some. A truck for conveying the mail and a rack to hold the mail bags while being fil- led are added conveniences. Mr. P. Winter, architect, was here from Toronto yesterday, and seemed pleased with the appearance of the new edifice. As to the openâ€" ing, he said, he could not name a date, as there were a number of minor matters to be attended to. He was averse, he said, to opening before everything was in ship- Shape. Considerable correspondence has] passed between Miss McPlrail, M. P and Maxm Murdock regarding a suitable ceremony for the opening. It was sug g,estcd and practically agieed upon that the Minister of Public works vs ould attend any function gotten up, and. of course, Miss Macphail would be present also. The council however are averse to going to any expense in the matter and are a little dubious about having a pay-as-youâ€"enter banquet, which might easily run into a deficit. They see, also, a desire on the part of our ambitious M. P. for some political capital to be obtained, and are, at present, in the humor to have the opening take place with no ceremony of any kind. This, we understand, was fin- ,ally decided on yesterday. EARLY SEEDING SHOWN TO BE ADVISABLE Experiments by The Field Hus- bandry Division at O. A. 6. Have Proved This. The Mail and Empire has the fol- lowing reg~arding early seeding“; - _ Ten days will bring the ofi‘icial opening of Spring and within a month farmers in Ontario will be looking for a chance to get on the land with tillage implements to make preparation for early sowing” Oats and Spring wheat will be the‘ crops to receive fisrt consideration in the general f'armingplan, and from past experience it would ap- pear as though the earlier in rea- son, the better, were the rule for securing satisfactory results with these crops. The importance of such early seeding practice has long been emphasized by the manage- ment of the Field Husbandry Divis- ion at the O. A. C. and during the past three years co-operative ex- periments have been conducted throughout the province in the sowing of early oats, late oats and spring wheat at three difl‘erent dates. The first seeding took place {as soon as the land could be prop- erly prepared and the succeeding sowings at intervals of two weeks. On the eleven farms where early oats were used the dates of- seeding and yields were as follows: April 23, yield 59.45 bushels; May 4, yield 51.79 bushels; May 15, yield 38.63 bushels. In this experiment there was a difference of 21 bushels per acre, in favor of the early seeding. On 48 farms where late oats were used the dates of seeding and yields were as follows: April 26, yield 46.14 bushels; May 10, yield 38.78 bushels; May 23, yield 28.45 bushels. . In this experiment there was a. difference of nearly 16 bushels in favor of the early seeding. On the 7 farms Where Spring wheat was used the dates of seed- ing and yields were as follows: April 26, yield 20. 04 bushels; May 8, yield 16 .26 bushels; May 21, yield 4bushels. In this experiment there was a defl‘erence of 8.3 bushels in'favor of early sowing. Any practice that will aid early tillage in the spring, such as drain- age and autumn plowing will pay for itself in increased yields. If one looks at the outpouring? from the Public and High schools of Durham, when the day’s work is done, the idea of any race suicide Fprevailing here will not long be en- tertained. It would seem as if our census enumerator were at fault if he fails to show an increased population for the~town. It may surprise many fwho have not given the matter any consider- ation, to know that there are en- rolled in the public school here at present 300 pupils. Of these the average attendance last month was 278.43 or 93 per cent. This is very gratifying to the' Principal, Mr. John A. Graham, as well as to the {remainder of the staff.‘ _ _ -‘_-_L--I-L-A DURHAM SCHOOLS HAVE GDDD STANDING Attendance Good and Work of High Character.

Mr. Thomas McRonald died at the Red Cross Hospital here on Monday last at the age of 79 years. He had been in the Hospital since May last, suffering rheumatic pains and heart trouble, the latter being the immedâ€" iate cause of death. The deceased was well-known in Durham and vicinity and was well esteemed by all who knew him. He had been a cripple for the past forty years, having received an in- jury while working on the railroad section between Durham and Pal- merston. Medical attention not having been had in time the in- jury became permanent. _ nnrn ‘lâ€" uu-J ~"“â€"â€"â€"_ Born near Galt, Ont., in 1849, Mr. McBonald was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas McRonalvd who, in 1859 moved to lot 61, con- cession 3, Bentinck, S. D. R. . At an early age he engaged in railroad track work and helped build the Grand Trunk into Walkerton, and Durham. After his accident. on the road he moved to the Township of Sullivan and engaged in farming. Eighteen years later he moved to the 4th concession Bentinck, N. D. sides. The deceased was a widower, his wife having died about five years ago. They had a family of five daughters and one son, of whom the son only, survives. Two, grandâ€" children and one brother also are left. The latter is James McRonald, Sr., who lives on the old homestead!- The funeral will be held from his son’s home at 2 pm. today, burial at Durham cemetery. Rev.

The many' friends of Mr. Walter Johnson, manager of the Standard Bank here, will be sorry to hear that he will leave Durham shortly to reside in Toronto. He has been promoted to assistant to the chief inspector at the head office there and will he succeeded by Mr. C. D. Kent of New Hamburg. Mr: Johnson has been manager of the Standard branch here for the past two years and has made a host of warm, personal friends. He is not enthused over his promotion, as he dislikes the idea of leaving Durham for the city. A severe ac- cident suffered by his little daugh- ter when they formerly lived in Toronto, makes both Mr. and Mrs. Johnson dread the dangers of the crowded thoroughfares there, es- pecially as their children have be- come used to the comparative free- dom of rural streets. Mr. Johnson purchased the 'Dr. Hutton home on Albert street and this will be occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Kent and family, as soon as the present occupants move out. This will probably be in the course of the next two weeks. Walter says he doesn’t regret leaving the winters here, but. the summers will be missed very much.
