Mrs. Lawrence is of a Irish origin, was the mother of nine children, and in our issue of the 24th of Jan‘uary last we reported :38 grandchildren and 71 great-grandchildren. We do net know what the present figures are, but have no doubt they have materially increased. Nearly all the Lawrences in this part of the country are related to the subject of this sketch. The old lady seems yet as if she might live another ten or fifteen years. She makes her home in town with her son George, but at time of writing she is visiting some of her relatives in the country.

SINCE last issue we learned from Mayor Calder that the rumors relat- ing to the quarantine regulations were altogether without foundation as provision had been made several weeks ago to have such families at- tended to. We are glad to report such as the fact, but not at all sorry for raking it up. It gives us a chance to find out the exact condi- tion oLthings. . Mn. JOHN LAWRENCE, of Winnipeg, can now rest easy as he has his sub. paid up to the end of next year. He says he appreciates Tun: CHRONICLE and is glad to notice the improve- ments going on_ in Durham. We appreciate the sub.. and wish a whole lot of our subscribers would do as Mr. Luwrence bu done. If they would only pay up to the end of this year we wouldn’t grumble. A nnxrrmxcs from Mr. Norman McDonald. of Rapid River, Michigan. is thankfully acknowledged. Mr. M. has been a reader of Tun: CHRON- IcLI for many years. Twenty-six your: ago he worked on his father’s farm. six miles out of Durham and e mile 'and e qunrter north, and though long eway from here he ap- precintee the weekly visits of the paper.

Buowx. of Hanover, put in two weeks as presiding examiner in town. We have - known him for some years and have watched him carefully as he scaled the educational ladder up to his capture of the Uni- versity degree of Bachelor of Arts. [‘0 many men such aliterarv title would be a heavy burden, but Mr. Brown is not a whit more conceited now than he was when a common teacher with a third class certificate. We must congratulate him as a sim- ple example of the height to which a person may rise by making proper use of his time. Few men have the ambition to carry on the work re- quired for,a university examination. and do their other work successfully at the same time. Mr. Brown is one one of the few, and his pupils never fail. THREE Cans Tomatoes for "5 cents â€"-N. ,.G J. McKechnie. A VERY successful garden party was heltl on Tuesday evening on the grounds of Mr. James Ireland. under the auSpices of the young people .0! the Presbyterian church. ~ e'l‘he grounds were beautifully lighted, and a large crowd was l’ese’ut to enjoy the pragraln of speeches \and music as well as the tempting re- lreshments. It. was a social and financial success. WE didn’t make a bad guess when we said last week that the Owen Sound 'l‘imes would give a grist of excus'rs lor the defeat of the lacrosse boys on the 12th of July. True enough the excuses came all right. Everything was againAthe Owen Sounders, of course. and to read the pitiable tale in the Times an outsider would imagine' they were soldered up from recent warfare. and that Durham had nothing to crow over in dafeating such a battered aggre- gation. ’1‘. all observers of the game here, the loys were in good shape, and put up a clever fight. The Times also claims that the time-keeper cheated them which we are informed Tue Presbyterians, of Dornoch, are building a church and the Corner Stone will be laid on Tuesday, July 30th, by Rev. Dr. Somerville, of Owen Sound. At 2:30 p. m. the Rev. gentleman will roll up his sleeves and get to work, and the members of the ccngrpgation want a whole lot of people to come and see what a clergy- man looks like when he is ’eugaged in manual labor. Nine other clergy- men, a number of M. P.’s. M. P. P.’s and would-liketo-be M. P.’s and M. P. P.’s. will be present, according to what the bills say, and appear on the platform. There are only sixteen mentione-l. but ’he home and outside musical talent. will help to fill up the program, and the rest of the filling. up will be done at the monster sup- per the ladies are going to furnish, and would you believe it the whole affair. supper and all, will only cost a quarter. on the best authority is absolutely untrue, and moreover, had the extra seventeen minutes they claim been allowed. the chances are they would have gone home with a. poorer re- cord to their list. Wm hardly know how to explain the omission of any report for the concert on the 12th. under the auSpices of the Durham Lacrosse. Club. more than that we had an unusually large bunch of matter and inadvertently overlooked this partic- ular feature of the days amusements. The concert, however, was quite a success. Mr. H. Ruthven Macdonald appeared as a musicial entertainer. and we believe, though he was high- ly recommended. no one was disap- pointed. He has a magnificent voice and the variety of his selettions show him a complete master of his vocal organs. The Misses Smith, of Toron- to, were also present and electified the audience with their various numbers. Mr. J. A. Hunter and Miss Smith gave a duet that formed a very pretty part of the program, and Miss Jean chwick lost none of her former reputation as a high class Scattish vocalist by the selections rendered on the occasion Mayor Calder filled the position of chairman, a very light duty when only high class entertainers are found on the program. Mrs. H. Ruthven Mae- donald and Miss MacKenzie were able accompanists. \ He took her fancy when he came. He took her hand ! he took a kiss.

' A Taking Young In. Durham, Ont, Thursday, July 25, 1901. Miss Weir is 05 the stafl this week nursing a cold. Mr. D. A. Kennedy, of the Mt. Forest Confederate, in company with Mr. Angus Mc'l‘avish. gave us a short call on Thursday last. Mr. and Mrs. Angus Mc'l‘uvish. of Flesherton, were in town last week. Inspector Campbell is confined to his room on account of a severe cold. Mr. Sam Firth Sprained his ankle and has to use a crutch Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Elvidge. of New York State are home on a viqit. Mrs. John Hudson and twb chil- dren of Hanover called this Wednes- day morning. Miss Maggie McDonald. who has been in Bufialo for some years is via- iting her parents in town. Miss Bertha James, of Priceville. who has been visitinc her hiend, Miss Maggie Derby, and other friends in town, returned to her home last week. As will be noticed elsewhere. the Durham Furniture'Company finds it necessary to enlarge their building, and are now asking for tenders. Only a week or so ago we referred to the handicapped condition from need of room to prepare goods for ship- ment. We have not learned of the nature of the proposed enlargement, but presume it will be for storing and packing purposes. We also learn that increased protection in case of fire is also a necessity by way of an enlarged tank as a reservoir for wat- er. The present supply is inadequate and whosever business it is, we should like to see the matter attend- ed to at once. No one would like to see the factory go up in smoke. There’s no use getting out the rooster to crow about the lacrosse match played here on Tuesday even- ing by the Juniors from Mt. Forest, who crossed sticks with the Juniors here. In the first quarter each side secured a goal, and though both teams fought hard for the remainder of the time, every inch of the ground was contested and not another goal was made. The boys here did some excellent playing, and are the mak- ing of a fine lacrosse team. 1901 F. Glass scored for Durham and A. McPhaden scored for Mt. Forest. General direction westerly. A W 'oming man touches up his delinquents in the following Style :-- l have a large number of accounts that have been standing on my books until they’ re getting grey haired. I would earnestly solicit payment of the same by the lat of July. before they die with old age and have to be buried in the Potter’s Field. Monday’s Toronto Star is responsiv ble for this “true fish story.”â€" Messrs’. Geo. 'A. Clare, M. P.. Wm. Stahlschmidt and F. G. Wureter Spent yesterday on the Hespeler dam trying to lure black bass to their doom. The gallant member for South Waterloo hoolred such a mon- ster that it was found impossible to pull it out, notw1thstanding all the manoeuvres and tactics that Mr. Stahlschmidt had‘used to kill big fish in Muskoka. Finally the line was tied to a big tree and the desciplea of Isaac Walton repaired toa nearby farm to secure reinforcements. When they arrived back with the farmer and his three hired men arm- ed with pitchlorks and ropes the astounding discovery was made that the tree to which the line had been tied had been pulled out. roots and all. Mr. Wurster climbed to the top of a tall pine, but could see no sign of floating branches. It is probable that Mr. Clare will ask the Govern- . ment to send out a party armed with spears, harpoons, and dynamite to icapture the dam monster.” J 01.x BORN-Wednesday..July 24th. to Mr. nod Mrs. Robert Britten, Ben- tinck, .

Mr. Asa Robson, of Duluth Busi- ness University has secured an ex- cellent situation as stenograpoer and book-keeper with a large lumber company, The neighborhood is fairly benulnb- ed with grief and half horror-stricken at the sad and sudden event which took place here last Wednesday even- ing.

However. she did the usual Monday’s work and complained of a touch of sore throat. On Tues- day it grew worse, and early Wed- nesday morning medical aid was summoned when the Dr. pronounced it “a very bad case”,at once. Every effort was put forth, however, and towards evening she partook of some chicken broth, finished writing a let- ter to her sisters at Grand Rapids and jokingly bantered her father about having to sit up with her that night. Suddenly as’the golden rays deadened in the skies and the twi- light gathered she took a choking spell. Father, mother and brother ,rushed to her relief, carried her to the window. threw up the sash and tried to relieve her, butzin three min- utes the grim finger of relentless Death had clutched the bright voung spirit from its earthly wrappinga. But as the immortal fled, a smile of joy settled over the graceful features of the mortal. Kate, the young. the bright, the winning~uas dead. Mo- ther’s tears. father’s grief and broth- er’s frantic cries were of no avail. Miss Emma Edwards had just reached the home and was in time to be of service. We shall never forget the scene. It seemed so cruel in the peaceful quiet of that gleaming hour. She was in her eighteenth year and was their youngest daughter.
