LAWS MOWING . Several times lately people have complained about their inability to get some one to mow their lawn. Even those who undertake such work often leave it half done without explanation of their conduct. It’is hot a question of pay for they get their own price. Here is asuggestion that may be worth something to some smart boy who is willing to work and who will complete his contracts satsifactorily. Let him purchase a good lawn mower and secure the con- tract of mowing all the lawns in town or as many of them as he can manage. Many who have small 1 lawns would much prefer letting the‘ contract for mowing to buying a mower and doing it themselves. At reasonable prices an active boy could make good money at the venture.

The other night com- ing up one of the streets not a thous- and miles from the centre of the town I had the unpleasant experience of inhaling about the vilest odor ever smelt outside of a glue factory. This is dangerous to the public health and the Health InSpector should stir him- self himself up to nose out these abominable defilements and cause their removal to some place farther from the "centre of civilization.” If these things cannot be attended to by the prOper officers, why appoint such officers at allor why pay public money for officials more ornamental than useful? Durham, May 28, 1903. Jolly Mr. Humphreys, Sn, from Valentyne, has been visiting in this neighborhood for three or four weeks. He keeps himself busy taking photo- graphs, and proves to be quite an artist at the business. Willie Hal-grave and his sister, Mary, from Hutton Hill, visited at their old home over the week end, and attended Sunday School at Ebe- nezer. Willie’s old friends are plans- ed to know that he is genius: on well in Bontinck. We are glad to report that Miss Mary Tucker is almost entirely re- covered from the typhoid. Last week Thos.

Paints ar_e pre- For years this town 'has made no efiort to have a demonstration at this season, and when the Lacrosse boys took the matter up, there were some to predict failure and imagine the boys away down “ in the hole.” The predictions were not verified, however. and Monday last saw a big crowd of people here, many arriving at an early hour, to see, no doubt the Calithumpian parade announced for half past nine in the morning. as well as the football match to be play- ed between Holstein and Varney. It was after ten o’clock when the sound oi the Durham band announc- ed the opening of the day’s sports, and they marched from the Rink to the Square as the first contingent of the Calithumpian procession. Im- mediately behind the hand came Theobald’s Rough Rider, Art Noble, mounted on a. nag. whose paraphero nalia announced that Theobald’s was the place to get your Sunday suit. The Barber Scene in caricature was grotesque looking picture. Pete Gagnon was the " torturial ” artist.‘ and he plied his calling with such skill and nimbleness that Tom Swal- low and Billy Vollet felt a pang of pain over the fear of their business leaving them. The lather was slash- ed on with an unsparing hand with a whitewash brush from an old pail that might have done service in the Peninsular war. The inimitable Lauder Buchan. in writhing agony submitted to the torture of the woolly headed razor man while Dug Munro drove the outfit through the amused :crowd of Spectators. Mockler’s advertising clown was the next link in the chain of horrors, and consisted of a small wagon, drawn by a small clown. Mounted on the wagon was a painting from Bert’s own brush. The contrast of colors was fearfully unique and no pains were spared by the dainty young salesman to tell a credulous public that Mockler’s was the only place in town for a love-sick swain to get a natty necktie. It would be a hard hearted Scotch- man that wouldn’t feel a thrill of natural pride as Tom McClocklin, with pipes, kilts and bare legs, hoof- ed it up the middle of the road with a genuine piper’s tread. Colin Mc- Fayden we know would have enjoyed that scene but only John Stewart. the piper of Bunessan, would be able to tell whether or not the pipes had the proper skirl. The Little German Band was a very unique feature of the " outrage.” The Drum Major was Allie McIntyre. Barrister Davidson was leader, Bert Mockler handled the trombone on an excellent sliding scale on all notes for which the street was wide enough. Theobald manipulated the baritone and Mark Ludlow the bass while Geo. Hughes and young McClocklin made a lot of noise with the drums. But the end was not yet. Instan- tantaneously, in the twinkling of an eye. in less time than it, would take a long-eared man to flop a fly off the back of his neck, the alarm of fire was sounded and the Coon Town Fire Brigade appeared on the scene. This consisted of Gowanlock’s team, with Coon Gowanlock himself, black face and plug hat, as driver. Strad dling the big water tank were three or four other coons with brigade hel- mets, real helmets with a history. They were struggling at a small pump. and did manage to draw water which was squirted through a hose in the hands of the tail end of the contingent. if we except the motley crowd of boys that followed in the rear. Thus ended the first part of the show which we must say gave much merriment while it lasted. The next thing was the football match between Holstein and Varney the game standing 1â€"0 in favor of Holstein. In the afternoon the Lacrosse match between Walkerton and Dur- ham Opened well, but it was soon to be seen that the visitors were no match for our boys. and the interest died out as goal after goal was scored by the home team. The visitors were a very decent lot of players and they put up a nice gentlemanly game, but. won very few points. Out of consid- eration for their feelings‘ we’ll not tell the score. A Junior team from the school and a team of Juniors from the town also gave an exhibition which closed with a score of ‘2â€"1 in favor of the uchool. The Tngof-war between Ben- tmck and Glenelg, six men on each side, resulted in favor of Bentinck, who took the rope twice out of three times. The following took part in this contest: Bentinckâ€"Elijah Arm- strong. Fred Noble, Thos. Lawrence, John \Vilkie, Neil Coutts, Campbell Dnnsmoor, R. Lawson, Cap. ; Glen- elgâ€" Walter McDonald, Chas.

Holstein on the 23rd of June. There will be two ses- sions, afternoon and evening. A good program is being arranged and it is fully expected that an enjoyable and profitable time will be spent. Dave Cameron of the firm of Gar- roch Bros.. Listowel, had his usual outing here on Saturday and remain- ed over till Monday. His sister, Mrs. Wren has been in ill health lately. Mrs. A. D. Prior holidayed with friends in Grand Valley and Arthur. Our Creamery is in full swing now manufacturing about 1500 pounds per day. We were quite sanguine that our football team would give a good ac- count of themselves on Victoria. Day in Durham. They did so by defeating their opponents by a score of 1â€"0. Quite a number of the youth and beauty of our burgh went to Durham on Victoria Day to root for the foot- ball boys and to otherwise enjoy themselves which they did to their hearts’ content. Miss Susie McNally returned to Toronto last week. The Timmins Bros. have completed the foundation of Mr. Neil Livnng- stone’s barn, and are ready to begin work on Mr. John Greenwood’s this week. Under the able supervision of Mr. Ben Sharp. about ascore of fellows, with ahalf dozen of Wm. Black’s “jacks,” hoisted Mr. Green- wood’s barn from its lowly position of thirty-two years and set it on posts nine feet high. They will be snug, well-lighted Stables and ample room for roots. Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Embury, of To ronto, are up on a few weeks’ visit to the old Cook homestead. Ed. treated the boys to a fine display of fireworks on Saturday evening. He is a crack shot, a good angler and an A. 1 fellow. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Jackson, of Ab- erdeen, with their bonnie led and lassie, spent part of Victoria Day in our humble cot. They are a bright, likeable couple. Zion’s Sacramental service on Sun- day was one of the most successful ever held. It is the hOpe of all that the Rev. Wray R. Smith and his de- voted partner may be returned to this circuit for another year. Their three years’ sojourn amongst us has been a steady uplift. W. L.

As he swept farther down toward the suspension bridge the waters. angry at the unexpected resistance: grew fiercer. Waves smote him under and he fought his way up again for breath. Whirlpools seized him and dragged him down for what seemed minutes to the strained watchers. But he broke their grip and emerged again and again. lie was under wa- ter more times than he was on the surface.

His companion, who had given the alarm, had for- tunately met J. Fred Belyea. the oarsman from Old Fort, and the two, obtaining a boat from William Daley, who lives near the shore of the falls, put out to the rescue. By the time they neared the boy he had drifted to the lower part of the cove near the old watertank, and was about forty feet from shore. He was nearly unconscious, half drowned, and b'enumbed by the hitter cold of the water. Before they could reach him he sank, but came up again a little further down. where he was seized and drawn into the boat un- conscious.
