There need be no qualms of consci- ence in the case of Burowski. While no one saw him shoot Jackson, he was in the company of the people who did. All were armed and engaged in rob- bery with violence. The question THAT FERGUS EPISODE The report in the Fergus News-Re- cord that several farmers in that sec- tion had been duped by agents for a couple of farm journals who gave them the paper for nothing. and charged them a dollar a year for postage, may or may not be a lesson to other people. Evidently people like to be fooled. The Fergus vicinity residents are not out anything as they received a certain farm journal for a dollar a year, the amount they would have to pay any- where. but the manner in which they were led to subscribe is what rankles. for no man likes to be played for a sucker. the grain with some people and leads them to condemn capital punishment. The residents of Fergus. or any other community. need not trust to the wandering newspaper subscription can- vasser to get what they want in the newspaper or magazine line. They can secure any publication from. their local printing office or bookstore at the same price as elsewhere, and know all the time who they are dealing with. CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE The sentencing of John Burowski at Parry Sound to be hanged was occom- plished mostly by circumstantial evi- dence. He was found guilty of the murder of Thomas Jackson at Wau- bamic, when the latter was killed fol- lowing a mail train robbery near Par- ry Sound. It is this convicting on cir- cumstantial evidence that goes against We like to be charitable and help our fellow man who is down on his luck ,but from now on charity distri- butions are going to be few and far be- tween and practically nil unless we know to whom and for what we are giving, One day not long ago we were sol- icited in our office to contribute to no less than three religious bodies, and not one of them located in Durham. Yesterday a blind man was being led around from store to store soliciting handouts. We don’t know how he fared elsewhere, but we refused him point blank. We know nothing of his business arrangements. but the fellow who was steering him around town was big enough to go to work and much too healthy looking to be working out as a pilot for a blind man. VAGRANCY TOO COMMOâ€"N *' ' We have often wondered if halt the vagrancypermittedtorunlooseinthe smaller towns of Ontario is necessary. There isscarcely a day passes that somebody doesn’t amble up to the counter and either present a card tell- ing of his woes or openly solicit aims. In our opinion the streets of Jericho could not have had very much on the Province of Ontario when it comes to beggars travelling the country. We have every sympathy with any- one who is unfortunate and in need of charity and this article is not written with the object of casting any reflec- tions, but it seems to us that it is scarcely necessary to have so many running about with a hardluck story and collecting aims from workingmen and others, who perchance, may not have nearly so much as the one they are charitable to. It may surprise some of our readers when we tell them that in some cities begging is an art and many so-called unfortunates have in- dependent fortunes which they have picked up here and there.

The Fair on Saturday of next week will be under the supervision of T. S. Cooper, the Grey County Agricultural representative, assisted by Government judges, and as these have had an un- limited experience in the affairs of this kind everything will go of! with clockwork precision. The anniversary at Fairbairn was an outstanding success. The Sunday ser- vices were taken by Rev. 1“. S. Okell of Mount Forest. On Monday there was a hot fowl supper and plum pudding. followed by a programme. This latter was mostly by Dundalk and Mount Forest talent and consisted. of read- ings. duets. monologues and instru- mental music. Rev. Mr. Hayes of Durham was the speaker of the even- ing and delivered a good address on (nee Audrey Livingston) a son. TWO OUTSIDE CHURCHES HELD {M'ANNIVERSARY SERVICES Both Orchard and Fairbairn church- es held anniversary services on Sun- day. and both had full congregations at the annual events. At Orchard Una ited the services on Sunday were taken by Rev. J. Winfield Hunt of Winona. On Monday evening the congrega- tion held a fowl supper and the church was filled to overflowing with the big crowd that gathered. After the supper a good programme of read- ings, solos and duets was given. Rev. Mr. Jay of Holstein was chairman. Addresses we're also given by Revs. Fiddes and Smith of Durham. Saturday’s exhibit will be the largest and most complete ever held in Dur- ham and will likely bring out a record crowd. It will be nothing more or less than a glorified Township School Fair, as the competitors in every instance are those who have won out in the Township contests and now gather in Durham for the grand elimination that will proclaim the winner for the whole County. To the business men has fallen the duty of supplying, if necessary, of 20 cars to transport the members of the winning schools to Durham to enable them to take part in the parades and contests, and also to supply and pre- sent watches to the Winners in the boys’ and girls’ public speaking con- tests. First there is the supplying of ap- proximately 350 free lunches to the winning school children of the county who came first in their Township school parades. This has been taken over by a committee of the ladies of the town, and this is sufficient guar- antee that the job will be ,Well done. Saturday of next week, the 13th or October, will be one of the biggast days in Durham in a good many years, and providing the weather is at all plea- sant, it is estimated that there will be anywhere from five to ten thousand school children of the county and their friends in town. And this crowd will need some entertaining !

What must we inferâ€"a long Shortly Have to Move to Look After Obligations to Children of Grey County in Their Annual Convention. Too much COpy this week necessitates the leaving out this issue, of consider- able news matter, including all of this month’s school reports. This week we have had an unusual amount of late copy and try as we would we could not find a place for all of it... This left-out matter will appear next week. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Henderson are in Toronto this week attending the Bakers’ convention. Mr. Henderson, who last year won the prize for the best cake, has another entry this year. and it is to be hoped mat he will keep up his batting average by again com- ing home with first money. Mr. and Mrs. Henderson were accompanied by Mrs. (Rev.) Smith and Mrs. R. E. Rich- ardson. - Mr. W. Gray with gang of four men left for Maynouth, Hastings County,- to get the camp of the Durham Furni- ture Company in readiness for the winter’s logging. After the erection of the camp, the gang will be increased to about 30 men, who will be engaged until the end of March in getting out logs. Mr. and Mrs. Ben McKenzie and family of Priceville, also Miss L. Camp- bell, visfied at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Johnty Long, here. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A. Watson and family were also guests of Mr. and Mrs. Long over Sun- day. Mrs. M. Whitmore and son, Mr. Merl Whitmore, of Chicago, spent a week with Mr. and Mrs. J. Schutz and family. Former residents of this town some fifteen years ago, they are al- ways pleased to call around every year or two and renew acquaintances. Miss M. Petty, formerly superinten- dent of the Royal Alexandra Hospital at Fergus, and who has been visiting with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C.

Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Telford and. two daughters of Toronto visited with Mr. and Mrs. Cameron Lauder on Sun- day. Messrs. Lindsay Hunt and Hugh Thompson were home from Toronto over the week end, visiting their homes here. Mr. Thomas Barber and sister, Miss Margaret, of Toronto, are visiting with Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Cook, and with Mrs. James Colville. Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Long of Mount Forest visited at his parental home in town for a few days. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Jucksch of Mea- ford visited last week with their son, Mr. and Mrs. George Jucksch, here. The Town Council passed accounts amounting to some $967 .00 at the regu- llar session last Monday evening, and this just about tells the story of the business done. It is an ofi season for councils, apparently, and while the memberswereonhand to attend to anything that turned up, there was very little to do and they rose early. Mayor Murdock had a letter from the W. Calder Estate threatening ac- tion if hydro power were not turned on at their Queen Street plant immedi- ately, but as was intimated in The Chronicle last week, the matter is in the hands of the Ontario Hydro As- sociation and the Council has nothing to do with it. . { Another motion put through was one calling for a statement of receipts and expenditures as it aflects the Soldiers’ Monument. This was made necessary when the town was approached for a grant for the upkeep of the grounds. ‘ Providing a satisfactory statement is forthcoming, the Council is willing to take hold and see that the grounds ,are kept in proper shape, but do not see that they should do anything until this is forthcoming. Some members of i the Council favor forcing a statement, as they automatically became co-part- ners with the Monument Committee when they made a grant of the monu- ment ground. The whole matter start- ed when there was apparently a short- age of private money to go ahead with the upkeep of the grounds. Mr. Ted McClocklin of Toronto was a guest at his parental home over Sun- day. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Poole and son of Buffalo spent the week end with Mr. and Mrs. James Mack, Egremont. Mr. and Mrs. C. 'I‘ibbutt of Goder- ich were guests of Mr. and Mrs. R. Moorhead over the week-end. SOCIAL AND PERSONAL Session Was Short One and Only Routine Business Received Consider- LITTLE DONE MONDAY WHEN COUNCIL MET NEWS CROWDED OUT THE DURHAM CHRONICLE The Sunday Services The services on Sunday morning and evening were attended by very large congregations, the church building be- ing taxed to capacity, and the force- ful sermons by the Rev. C. H. Schutt, M. A., of Toronto, were especially fitted The address was all too short and one all could well carry in their minds for many days. At the close a dainty lunch was erved. The proceeds a- mounted to $30.00. The Dead Sea and the River Jor- dan were of much interest. Many other historic places of interest were also visited. Jericho, the famous well where Jesus gave the Samaritan wo- men water to drink and also the wat- er of life; the Sea of Galilee, etc. Egypt was next visited with its fam- ous pyramids, one covering ten acres and the burial places of all the anci- ent kings and queens. Then to Pales- tine, the Holy Landâ€"Jerusalem and Gethsemane. the garden at the foot of the Mount of Olives where Jesus sweat drops of blood, and on to Calvary. Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, was visited and what memories it re- called !â€"the manger among the cattle. as there was no room in the inn for the child Jesus, and the hurried de- parture in order to save Jesus from Herod’s declaration. Another year’s work of the Glenelg Centre Baptist church was successful- ly" completed and commemorated Mon- day night by the annual anniversary concert. The night was perfect and a good crowd of folk assembled to enjoy the program and partake of all the good things served at the close by the ladies. Rev. Mr. Spencer was an able Chairman After a congregational hymn followed with prayer by Rev. H. Crick- ington of Muiock, the program opened with a selection by the choir. A soloxby Miss Greenwood, Zion; solos by Mr. Wm. Ramage and a duet by Mrs. W. Thompson and Miss E. Redford were much appreciated. Several selections by Mr. C. Buschlen on the trombone and an instrumental by Mrs. Spencer also added to the enjoyment of the evening. Short but fitting addresses by Rev; Mr. Crickington and Mr. A. Bell caused smiles and laughter. Then Rev. C. H- Schutt of Toronto, the speaker of the evening, favored the audience with a somewhat condensed travelogue of his visit to the Holy ‘ Land. From the moment he embark- ed, the audience followed intently ev- ery word as he led them through Gib- raltar, whose cannons completely con- j trol the Mediterranean Sea, thence through the very heart of a land of poetry, beauty and song, Italy. He ‘ took his audience to Venice with. its numerous canals for streets and only gondolas as the mode of travel; its beautiful churches and palaces; then to Florence, noted for its wonderful art galleries; and on to Naples where they viewed Mount Vesuvius. Next the city of Rome with the largest and most famous church in the world, St. Peter’s, and the Vatican, the palace of the pope. Underneath the city are the famous catacombs where the early Christians fled to worship, live and die from the pagans, their prosecutors. The ruins of the Coliseum still remain, where in ancient times the Christians were thrown to the lions to amuse King Nero and his followers. INSPIRING SERVICES AT GLENELG CENTRE Rev. C. H.

Priests in that by prayer and supplication they become intercessors for others; kings, that through grace and power of Christ they live the victoriOus life. They become “more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” The special music for the day was given under the leadership of Mrs. (Rev) Spencer, and the choir was composed of members of both Durham and Glenelg Centre Baptist choirs, as- sisted by Mr. Bert Saunders. The mu- sic throughout the day was entirely in keeping with the spirit 0! the anni- versary, and coupled with the excellent sermons the 1928 anniversary was a most helping and inspiring day for the members of the congregation. Cor. iii: 18, the life of the believer transfigured through meditation, look- ing into the revelation of God’s word and beholding the glory of the Christ.

This cake not only “‘takes the cake” at the Bakers’ con- vention, but also captures the shield for the best fruit cake exhibited. We congratulate our townsman on his success and speak first for part of the cake when it is cut. and a very pleasant evening spent. On Wednesday of this week the young people held a dance in the Town Hall in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson.
