AT tthe meeting of the County Board of Examiners last Week four- teen students were allotted to Owen Sound. eight to Meaford and fifteen to Durham Model Schools. WHEN it is known that only 48 per cent of the‘ candidates w o wrote at the last Junior Leaving xamination were successful, it should make the citizens of Durham all the more grateful when our school succeeded in getting over 81 per cent through the trying ordeal. Local News items WE arepleased to learn that Miss Ella Robertson who underwent an operation for appendicitis at Hamil- ton a few weeks ago is so far recOver- ed that she came home this week. Her sister, Miss Jessie. who was with her during her illness returned at the same time. MR..WM. GUTHRIE has engaged the services of Mr. Chas. Stewart, of Exeter, to assist him. Mr. Stewart comes well recommended. and is per- hope one of the best blacksmiths in western Ontario. especially on horse shoeing, and will no doubt draw a. large trade to the shop. THE Cement Works. which we re- ported last week as having the eleco trical generators burned out, was put in shape rapidly and the rotaries were at work again on Tuesday last. Superintendent Farr is a hustler and ON Thursday last our boys playedi their second game in the semi-finals against the \Valkerton Juniors on their own‘grounds and defeated them by a score of 6â€"1. This put Walk- erton out of the field, anda game: with the VVellingtons of Owen Sound followed on Tuesday afternoon last on the Agricultural grounds here where they were again victorious the score being 6 to 4. This was a hard fought battle, and the visitors showed , good skill in handling the ball, some‘ very pretty work being done by them. The play, though a little rough at times, is what in sporting parlance may be characterized as good clean lacrosse. Of the homel boys. it would be unfair to say that all did not do well, but Jimmy L9"! velle distinguished himself on the .field as did also Dug. Munro, Wes ‘ Theobald, J eff McCracken, Dixon, Matheson and all the rest of them. . For the first three quarters the Dur-i ham boys had decidedly the best of the play, and despite the eEorts of the visitors to redeem themselves in the last quarter. for which they made My bold determined fight, they were “forced to allow the‘ heme team, to ethe field victorious.

WE felt very sorry for a Commer- cial traveller a few mornings ago as he stood in front of one of the hotels with a nervous look and glassy eye enquiring, " ”What in Hamilton sort of hyenas have you round this town anyway? About two o’clock last night I was sound asleep when a lot of unearthly noise on the street sup posed to be singing roused me from slumber and I had no rest Since.” " \Vhy under the sun,” said he, “don’t the authorities put a stop to such performances.” - ”V regret to learn of the misfor- tune of Mrs. Thomas Hutton, who was bitten a few days ago by a vic- ious sow in her own barnyard. It seems that a little pig got entangled some way and Mrs. H. endeavored to release it when the vicious sow came along and attacked her. biting her badly in several places.

OWEN SOUND Collegiate Institute is losing two good men, Mr. Brooch having accepted a position as princi- pal of a theological seminary in Kam- loops, B. 0.. and Mr. Jolifie the classical professorship of Wesley College, Winnipeg. THE Methodist church Garden Par- ty on Monday night last was quite a success. even if the unfavorable weather did force them to hold their entertainment and social in the base- ment of the church instead of on the grounds of Mrs. Sutherland as an- nounced in the bills. THE school re-openecl Tuesday morning with a full staff. Miss MacKenzie began work again being fully recovered from her illness of last Spring and early summer. The new teachers are Mr. Sheppard, as- sistant principal. and Miss Forfar, classical teacher in High School De- partment. THE lights were out on Saturday night until about ten o’clock, and visitors and citizens were forced to go about in almost Egyptian dark- ness. Nothing better demonstrates the value of our lights than a forced compulsion to get along without them. It would seem unbearable to have to go back to the,old state of things. \Ve need street lights badly. THE cricket match played Thurs- day last between the Grits and Tories was won by the latter by eight runs The game Was keenly contested. the bowling on both sides being: «0011 especially in the two first innings. Elvidge Holt and Theobald did the bowling: for the Tories, While Lauder and Pickering did likewise for the Grits. Each have won a game and the tie will be played off soon when both will battle for su- premacy. The grand old came still lives and is growing in popularity.

Mrs. Stouehouse, after being disap- pointed twice in getting away on a trip to Manitoba to see her daughter at Carman, has, now decided not to go this year. We are pleased, however. to report that she is quite well again. Miss S. Burnett returned to her duties in the Post Office this week after holidaying for a fortnight in Toronto. Hamilton and Grimsby Park. She was accompanied by Miss Lizze Lauder. Mr. Joseph W. Fox returned Mon- day from Georgia where he has been for the past ten months on the con- struction of the cement. We judge from a short conversation with him that he hasn’t fallen in love yet with the south nor with the southern girls. The climate down there is not congenial to his tastes, nor yet has be any special admiration for the habits and custom of many of the peOple.

H-0.0~ returned Markdale with her Burrows Caned and Laidlaw Jewelled. At the regular meeting of the Inde- pendent Order of Oddfellows of Grey Lodge No. 169 held on Monday night last, a part of .the ceremony was somewhat pleasing in character. Mr. H. H Burrows, who is leaving for Toronto, has been an active worker in the Order since he came to this town two or three years ago. and the members felt disposed to make some little recognition of his merit as a member and worker in the Society. Mr. Wm. Laidlaw has been twenty- seven years a member of the Lodge here and was presented at the same meeting with aVeteran’s jewel. Mr. Burrows. who was taken completely by surprise. made a neat reply to the address and presentation. in which he expressed the kind feelings enter- tained for the citizens of Durham generally, and the members of Grey Lodge No. 169 in particular. Mr. Laidlaw also responded in appropri- ate terms. The following are the ad- dresses :â€" To MR. 11. BURROWS. DEAR SIR AND BROTHERâ€"It was with feelings of deep regret that we, as a Lodge, learned of your intention to leave this community, and at the same time sever your connection with us so far at least as your pres- ence is concerned at our weekly meetings. Your associations with the Lodge of the Independent Order of Oddfellows in this town has been productive of good results. Under all circumstances of adversity or prosperity of the Order, you had the faculty always of looking on the bright side of things. and the un- bounded faith you had in Oddfellow- ship has enabled you under all cir- cumstances to view the society with a true spirit of Optimism. Our advancement in a knowledge of Oddfellowship and the remarkable increase in membership since you came amongst us is largely due to the interest you have taken in the work, and through your enthusiasm the Lodge to-day is more healthful and more progressive because of your influence. Is it any wonder then that under such circumstances that we, as a body, should regret your removal. Nevertheless, While we regret to 1096 your presence in the Lodge Room. and regret also that we shall perhaps never again sit un- der your Wise counsel, we rejoice to know that you are about to further pursue the studies of your profession and we have unbounded how in your future prosperity. Trusting that you, dear Sir and brother, may ever cherish the true principles of our beloved Order, and trusting also that our next meeting may be on a more exalted plane of Friendship, Love and Truth, bound together as it were by the emblematic chain of Oddtellowship. We wish you a fond farewell and best wishes for a long, prosperous and happy life, and With the view of retaining a small portion of your memory for us as aLodge, we present you with this cane. which may assist you on your life’s journey. Yours in F. L. T. DEAR BROTHER LAIDLAW,-â€"'l‘he fact that you have labored in the interest of Oddfellowship for more than a quarter of a century should entitle you to an honored position amongst‘ the brethren of this Lodge. The: Grand Lodge recognizing the value of such a long and faithful service has adopted a means by which vet- eran members may be universally known throughout the brotherhood. This Lodge. taking advantage of such means of recognition. have pleasure in presenting you with this “Veteran” jewel, which we hope and trust vou may long wear with honor to yourself and honor to the Order in which we now stand as a common brotherhood. As we intimated last week the Public Library is now being removed to its old home on the hillside, the rooms occupied by it for the past eight or nine months having been rented by Mr. Robert Burnett, who is putting his stock there until he can open out in the Middaugh House block in the course of a few months. For the next couple of weeks no books will be given out in the Lib- rary. as it will take that time to re- pair the building and get the books arranged. We may also intimate in this connection that Mr. Burnett is getting the building vacated by the Library put in position and will open out for business in the course of a few days, perhaps some time next week. A meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. W. L. Dixon on Thursday, Sept. 10th, commencing at 2' p. .m. A. good program is- expected. All the ladies are cordially invited to at- tend. S. G.
