While in Durham the other day we met the Editor and promised to send him a budget this week of some kind. As his paper IS always full of good reading matter we thought ours would not cause. anything to make its columns less of_readjng matter. The Sunday School at Edge Hill has resumed again last Sunday in the No. 3 school house with a good attendance of the youngsters of the section. Mr. W. J. Ritchie is the superintendent for his 2lst year ;and deserves a diploma for his faithful attendance during the pas- ‘sing of years. Mr. Ernest Green- wood is organist and with her line vocal talents and organ music it makes the praise part of the ser- vice pleasant to the hearers. It’s a“ noble act for young men and young women to be engaged in teaching the youth to “remember their Creator in the days of their youth” for youth is the season to propare for old age for the aged have enough to take care of them- selves. The citizens of Durham and viâ€" cinity are well favored with spec- ial meetings this Tuesday. A large gatherng is expected to be in Knox church to listen to some of the most talented speakers for the occasion. A A ‘ ‘ . UL’L “CIVIL.

Holland frownship is in the throes of a municipal election, which is to take place on Friday of the present week. The election was brought about by tho resigâ€" nation of Reeve David Gardlner, who was ap inted at the meeting of the towns ip council held on May 5th to the position offload Superintendent of the township. ' Nominations were held in Holland Centre on Friday last to fill the vacancy, with the result that Dep-: uty-BeeveAlex. 0. Stewart, resign- ed hlS pomtion and is out after the Reeveship and he is being opposed by Mr. Alex. Atcheson, and the big issue of the election is the aboll- thII of statute labor. Mr. Stewart has come out flat-footed in favor of doing away with this old-fashioned style of doing the work on the township-roads, while Mr. Atcheson has not made any definite pro- nouncement. Mr. Ronald Comber, who was a member of the council, was elected by acclamation to the position of Deputy-Reeve, and this elevation created a vacancy in the council, for which there are two candidates; James Howey and Joseph Atkinson. Mr. David Gardiner has been Reeve of Holland township for the past five years and was serving his sixth. He was a useful member of the Grey County Council and at the time of his retirement was chair- iman ol‘ the Finance Committee, and in 1927, was chairman of the Edu- cation committee and the previous year was chairman of the House of Refuge committee. He will be much missed in County Council circles. O I 7~ Aflfi‘fl‘nm VILVIVVI Mr. Atcheson, who is opposing Mr. Stewart for Reeveship, is also a man of experience having served as Deputy-Reeve for two terms. Mr. Stewart is at the present time chairman of the Agricultural Com- mitteo of the Coupty Council. wh Serious Charge Phone 29 THE DURHAM CHRONICLE When . the full history of Cana- dian agriculture is written, one _of the most fascinating ch‘apters Will ‘A-‘A A_‘ Duo “1qu buwv-uwvâ€"-- -__._‘- _ _ _ be that devoted to the development of the Peace River country.
