F. held on May 4th. 1003, a vote of thanks was ten- dered the Rev. Mr. Farquharson for his very excellent address to them on the Met anniversary of the found. ing of the Order.

Alberta, a. copy of film " Frank Sentinel " nl May 2nd in which the Editor devotes about a page to describe the horrible disaster whit-h bm'el the town on the 29th of April. The moral condition of the mining mass is at a low ebb when drinking, carousiug and the 100nm: of propertv was indulged in as a pro- per sequel to the awful avalanche. which caused so much destruction, desolation and death. Tm; Indian Medicine Man, Dr.? W hiteeloud. spent a number of even~g ings in town selling his remedies to! eager buyers. He sold them on the! square. but we do not know whether or not the purchasers bought them ”on the square.” We didn’t think it square. however, when we saw some of them rushing up to the stand with money in their hats to buy salve while at the same time they were owing us for the paper for over six years.

A); enquirer wants to know why a; boy at. school should he puhisbed fol" robbing birds’ nests, While his brother goes about the streets with a gun and‘ shoots the old bird without fear of being molested, and regardless of the town By-law which prohibits shoot- mg inside tho corporation limit. It is also complained of that the Town Fathers should be witnesses to viola-i Hons of the town laws and take no action to put a stop to the wrong. doing. Any citizen has a right to i make complaint when any law is dis- regarded and we presume the Coun- cil will not be slow to act when o charge is properly laid. Shooting in town is a menace to public safety and should not be allowed. THE GOING AND COMING OF VISITORS IN THE MONTH OF MA Y. Master Lloyd Be a few days, but nothing serious. Mr. Ed.

On Monday night last the town was honored with the presence of nineteen Mount Forest Ladies of' the Rebekah Lodge who came up here to organize a Lodge in Durham. which was duly instituted with about thirty charter members, twenty-I three of whom were initiated into; the mysteries of the Society. 'I‘heii following is the membership at pre-l sent :â€"Mesdames Morlock, Siegnern Card, Curran; Misses Jessie Laid- law, Ella Laidlaw, May Saunders. Mary McCreary. Erma Schwenk, Clara Siegner, Jessie Robertson. Sophia Burnett, Lizzie Lauder. and Messrs. W. E. Theobald. Frank Len- ehan, Fred Search, H. 8. Card, Pete Gagnon. Geo. Hughes. H. Burrows, Jas. Eden. Wm. Laidlaw. The nineteen ladies who came up from Mount Forest were exceeding afiable and even a shy newspaper man would soon learn to feel at home in the presence of such genial jollity. The members here were de- lighted with the Initiating and De- gree Team. and though they would tell us no secrets they went far enough to say they were beautifully costumed and had the work up to perfeCtgen. They were not only jolly. handsome and capable but on the au- thority of one of themselves they all have good appetites. When the regular organization} exercises were concluded the short'. remaining portion of the night was. spent in ways congenial to the com- ! pany. The Lodge organized is named as “ May Lodge, No.â€"â€".” and ' we are sure the members here leel grateful to the Mother Organization‘ for the interest they have shown in ; bringing them into existence.

Chas, Mcliiunon and Alex. Grierson deserve great credit for their enterprise in purchasing Lord Lockinvar (10797), the best Clydes- dale stallion ever seen in this part of the country. The horse was pur- chased from Mr. Wm. Colquhoun, of Mitchell, who imported him from Scotland on tne with day of Feby., 190:}. This is a thoroughbred im- ported horse weighing over two thousand pounds. Farmers should look to their own interests and see this horse before using any other. For particulars see posters neXt week. Bills are out for a big demonstra- tion to be held here on Monday, May 25m. The Lacrosee boys are taking the matter up and they’re determined to give the best day’s sport ever seen here.
