Come Here for your Stationery The Rev. Mr. McGregor occupied his usual pulpit last Sunday, after a couple of weeks’ holiday in Midland. Since his return he has been visiting his parishioners here. The Rev. Mr. Newton, of Norwich, Unt., will preach in the Centre Bap- tist church next Sunday. Mrs. Clarke, of Brnntford, has been tnking a month’s holiday at C. Firth’o. Since the recent Entrance Examin- ation, a great deal of adverse critic- ism has been indulged in by citizens of Toronto regarding the low per centage of successful candidates com- pared with other Ontario cities. and viewed in the light of such investi- gation it would seem that the schools are in a poor condition of elliciency. Even in view of such facts it would hardly be fair to con- clude. without lurther proof that the teachers neglect their duties, and the true work of child culture is r ot getting its proper share of atten- tion. Those who have taken the trouble to investigate for them- selves. know that in our larger towns and cities where there are many attractions to divert the at~ tention, school progress is not so marked as it is in rural communities and smaller places The teachers of Toronto too may take, what to many is becoming a more rational view ol Educational advancement. and are engaged in preparing their pupils for the duties of lite rather than cramming them for some literary test. Though examinations are good in their place. it is not correct to imagine them the great end of education. Some school critics know very little of what they talk about. DURHAM. SBP’I‘. fym, 1901.

DRUG STORE Dr. Boyle sold his practice to Dr. Dixon, of Walkerton. a youth of about 2| summers. We hope he will prove as successful as his predeces- Iors. Finlay McPhail is out with his new threshing outfit, and is doing good work. Also Colin McLean is busy dusting out amongst his old patrons on the South Line and elsewhere, and is getting along well. All the GlaSgow visitors from Priceville and vicinity returned again a few days with the exception of Mr. Patton, who is yet to remain there for some time. Thev all look well after experiencing the‘ invigorating breezes of the brimy ocean. Dentim James Atkinson will probably prac- tice in Priceville for a time, and will be assured of receiving good patron- age. The sick people are getting better. Miss Hooper, who had nsoyore nt- tack of typhoid, is considered out. of danger now. Also the Harrison! are better and able to be around again. Before taking his departure from us, the ratepayers of Priceville school presented their late teacher Mr. Blakeston. with a purse and address, showing their appreciation of his services during the last 9years as teacher of Priceville Public School. Mr. Blakeston leaves for Owen Sound Collegiate Institute this week. There is a lnrge amount of crop out yet, and is now getting to be in a bad condition. Some nre busy threshing. ~ They say the grain turns out well according to the qunntity of strnw. Miss Leeson, our gaudteacher. is again instructing the youth under her charge in the various branches of useful learning. and is getting along “ell. We are all pleased to see her back, more especially one particular gentleman, who never deviates from the path of duty in this reapect. The new teacher. Mr. McGill, com- meuced his duties over a week ago in Priceville school. Mrs. McMillan, of Manitoba. is making a short stay with her father and mother. Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Mc- Lean. S. D. R... Artemesia. Mrs. McDougall and some members of the family, of Durham, were visit- ors at Mr. John McLean’s recently. Fred Williams, of the 800. visited at his uncle’s, Robert Fisher, of this place, for a few days. Mrs. Neil McDonald is spending a few days with her nephews, Mr. and Mrs. John A. Graham, near Durham. Dan McQueen, of Stayner, paid a short visit lately to friends in this part. A number of young men took ad- vantage of the harvest. excursion to Manitoba From this neighborhood. We take much delight in reading the continued history of the County of Grey published in THE CHRONICLE, extending back to 40 years ago. Couldn’t it not. be traced back to 50 years ago ? There are lots of people living yet who were alive then who could furnish the necessary informa- tion if desired? Miss Kate McIntyre, of Toronto, who was making astay at the old home here. left on Saturday to to- sume her duties again in the City. The Rev. Mr. Matheson returned again and resumed his duties last Sunday in the Presbyterian church. Priceville. Miss McCsnnel is again re-engaged in her present school for 1902, at an advanted salary. Mrs. Farquahar McKinnon went down to Kleinberg to see her husband for a few days. and will be returning this week. Mr. Chas. McKinnon. who attended the Commercial College. Belleville. during the past year, is making a stay now at the old home in this place. Died at his residence, Priceville. on Friday evening, the 30th Aug.. 1901. Mr. John Simpson, at the age of 77 years. Mr. Simpson was one of the old residents of Priceville. coming there about the year 1857,, when it was mostly all bush. He‘ carried on the cabinet and undertak- ing business during his life in Price- vnlle. He was an Elder in the Presbyterian church for nearly 40 years. an oflice he always filled with credit to himself and the church. He leaves a widow, three sons and five daughters to mourn his death. The funeral, which took place on Sunday last, was an exceptionally large one. His pastor, Rev. Mr. Mattheson. preached an excellent sermon in the church where the remains of the deceased {were taken during the service. Six 0! the brother Elders acted as pan-bearers. His remains were laid to rest in the cemetery in Priceville. Mrs. Fyfe, who made a short stay some time ago amongst her friends in this part, returned again to her home at Everet. We are having it. wet for the last two or three weeks. We are indebted to Tun Canasta.- ror a budget. this week.

Dated thk-lahludAWA. 0. non. ago, I may state that I found an old familiar face here, who is welloknown to many of the citizens of Durham, namely, Mr. J. D. Stewart, of Bus- seldale, Ont..- who for so many years represented in Durham and vicinity a well-known wholesale Grocery House. J. D.. as he is more familiar- ly known, is still the same genial. wholesouled gentlemen, known to many of your readers, and the recep- tion accorded to your Cor., Mr. John McArthur, Mr. A. Butters and Dr. Atkinson was most hearty. J. D. did everything in his power to make our visit pleasant, and we bade him bood-bye, with the feeling that he was one of the right men in the right place, as most of our representatives are in or out of Canada. I find it a very hard matter to leave 03 expa- tiating on the Canadian exhibit. In fact, every time I see it there is some new feature turns up. I may there- fore be excused if I add a little more on Canada’s Show, the exhibit of the Sault Ste Marie 00., who show most interesting specimens of Wood Pulp and paper made from it ; as does also the Laurentide Pulp Co.. Ltd. The Nova Scotia Wood Co. confine their specimens to wood pulp only. This exhibit will, no doubt, cause a vast increase in trade in this particu- lar line with Great Britain and the Continent. It is reported that half a million tons yearly can be easily taken of raw material alone without considering the manufactured articles of which wood pulp forms the basis. There is also a large exhibit of satch- els, bags. travelling cases, c., in which it is admitted that Canada leads the world. The export trade in this line is only in its infancy in Canada, but the Canadians who show in this class of goods have certainly excelled themselves in the manner in which they have placed this class of goods before the public here. We hear that the whole exhibit in this line was at once bought up by a merchant here, and no doubt many large orders to Canada will result from this excellent exhibit. In furniture the exhibitors are H. R. Ives 85 Co., of Montreal. who show some very attractive lines in brass bedsteads; their very moderate price and the beauty of their construction should commend them to those to whom “ money is an object.” That’s Putnam’s Corn Extractor. Gives corns tired feeling in about twenty-four hours. They conse- quently get out as they cannot keep up the pain any longer+makes them wearyâ€"it’s Putnam’s Painless Corn Extractor that does this. Now don’t forget. Alldruggista. Charles Rogers (30., Ltd., of Toronto. show a very handsome and unique dining room suite in d..rk leather. w hich is much admired. W. C. Edwards Co. ., of Ottawa, show mantel pieces of such chaste design that they are really works of art The lowness of the price quoted make us wonder “ how it is done.” The North-American Bent Chair 00., of Owen Sound, exhibit only chairs, but the style and diversity of patterns. and the reasonable prices quoted. are a genuine surprise to many here. who never heard of such manufactures being carried on in Canada. There are quite a number of other exhibitors in this line in the Canada section, but time and space forbid further enlarging on this sub- ject. The stafi in charge, under the able superintendance of Mr. Scott. Commissioner General from Canada, are a courteous and obliging set of thorough business men, and most at- tentive to all Canadians and other visitors who come in their way. Next time I write I will make a start into some of the other sections of the great show. So we bid good-bye to the Canada Section with regretâ€" knowing that whole volumes could be written on the subject without doing it any more than scant justice.
