THE subject in the Baptist church next Sunday evening will be: “ The Three Crosses.” OWIXG to the over-crowded con- dition of the school the Trustees have decided to add another teacher, making eight regular teachers on the staff.

Ox Monday morning last the fam- ily of Mr. C.L. Grant of this town had a narrow escape from asphyxi- ation. The coal stove had recently been brought into use, and from some cause that seems unexplainable there was an escape of gas during the night. In the morning one of the children feeling sick. went into another occupied bed room. and on entering toppled over on the bed. This aroused other members of the family, four of whom were deathly sick from the effects of the gas. In Local News Items v--â€" a. short time they were all right a- gain, but they had indeed a narrow escape, and the incident is a solemn reminder of the necessity of care- ful attention to the stoves where coal is used as fuel. MR. AL JACK, engineer on the Dar-t ham and Chatsworth stage. some- times operates that vehicle by bron- cho power. Now, broncho power is all very good at certain times and in certain places, the times andl places being just when and where the broncho likes but you cannot gamble on them with a certainty of winning. Last Friday was a lovely day. the roads were in splendid con- dition and evervthing was all that could be desired from a stage driver’s point of View, and the Durham Stage was sailing along on its last quarter of the route, the throttle wide open and the engineer peacefully reclining on his sear. when Without a Second’s warning the hronchos jumped side- ways off the inmd and started to run. The driver was thrown out and received a nasty cut on the top of his head. About a mile north Mr Chris. J ordison caught the team and turned them back and m_et Al. coming hot foot after them.

A VERY meagre account of the sad accident which resulted in the death of Mr. Perrin, of Hampden. is to hand at this office. The deceased was a son-inlaw of Mr. W hiteford of Hampden. and had for some time been engaged as clerk in a store in Walkerton, but subsequently went to Michigan where he was run over by a train and instantly killed. The remains were taken home by his bro- ther and interment took place Sunday under the Oddfellows of \Valkerton, to which Lodge he belonged. Messrs Lenahan, Theobald, Burnett Siegner and Livingston of the Lodge here l were in attendance at the funeral. Tm: audience that assembled in! the auditorium of the Baptist church ‘ last Thursday evening to hear the: Organ Recital, given by our own Mrs. (Rev.) Newton, must have gone borne "thrilled to the heart” with the excellent program that was pre- sented to them. Mrs. Newton on this occasion was assisned by her brother, Mr. Frank Slater Davidson, the star singer of Detroit, Mich., who possesses a voice seldom allotted to man. This was his first appear- ance to a Durham assembly, and by the applause that followed his firsc number. he had no trouble in finding 1“For He shall give His angels ‘ charge,” and " Alone in the Desert.” all of which demanded an encore.‘ The first and last numbers were perfect "gems,” and in Mr. David- son’s hands they are always sure to tin-l admirers as he has already made ': hos: of friends for himself by his ’iine musical voice and pleasing manner. and will be welcomed back :1: any time with pleasure. Mrs. Newcon, during the evening, took all the music out of the organ that' ‘was sweet and soul-stirring Her Ilast number, "Dundee” with orig- inal variatians. was a favorite. A duet, 3"Keep on Believing,” by M 3 Newton and Mr. Drysdale was a fine number which brought forth a place in the hearts of the music- loving people present. Mr. David- son commands attention from firSt to last. As an encore to his first piece, "Man the Life Boat,” he sang a. Southern lullaby by a request from his nephew, Master Keith Newton. which no doubt struck a reSponaive chord in the young lad’s bosom. Mr. Davidson’s other pieces were. "The Admiral’s Broom,” an encore. Mr. Drysdale responding mnh a solo. The proceeds of the evening amounted to a. snug sum which goes towards the payment of the church organ.

Special mention should be made of the semi-chorus ”Caring for me” the Misses Sparling, Irwin. Limin, Lat- timer and Glass, the soft cadences in sharp contrast to the full chorus effect. Phe Duets “Mamma’s in Heaven” and "Warbling Birds” by Misses B. Sparling and Annie Aljoe with Rita Irwin as alto were evidence of careful training and more than ordinary vocal talent, as were also the Duets. "Little Sunbeams” and HMill May” rendered by the Latimer and Kinnee sisters respectively. If a kind providence smiles on these young friends there is the promise of a wealth of song for church choirs in this town in the no distant future. The openin chorus “Welcome to our Junior eague” was a much more dificult piece of music than is generally selected for such occasions, but the ninety Juniors maintained their reputation already established for time, tone and expression. The pause stacato effects were admirable. The rendering of “Lead me every day” as an illustration of reverence in prayer and praise. was sweetly effective, as with uplifted hands and upturned faces they prayed in song: for guidance every day. The President, Master Stanley Mc- Nally made an excellent chairman, and with clear voice and distinct utterance called each number in turn The lesson on “The Beatitudes” Was read by Miss Jewel Little. who in tone and accent gave not only the sense, but the spirit of the teaching. The Vice-president, Master Cecil Wolfe gave the tepic“Lessons from the Life of Elijah” clearly distingu- shing the difference between the so- called Elijah of Zion City and the Bible Hero. .,~The Junior League Anniversary and Rally in the Methodist church on Monday evening was a success in eyery way and parents and friends interested in the training of the young for christian service have a- bundant reason for gratification. To see and hear a programme one hour and a half in length rendered without any brake or failure from {art to finish and all managed by t e Juniors themselves showed capa- hility not, only to receive but, to carry out and apply instruction. The Junior league was plainly evidenced to be a school of methods. The recitation by Miss Jessie Caton was an admirable effort for one so young, her voice being clearly and distinctly heard to the rear of the audience room. The dramatic ren- dering of “Orphan Annie and the Goblins” by the tiny tots Lida Livingston and Vivian Crawford brought down the house. In the Calischenic exercises by Miss A gne~ Cameron, we had the poetry of motion as pleasing to the eye as the sound of music to the ear. The pianistsi were three Junior Leaguers. the Misses Rita Irwin, Bertha Snarling ,and Clara Aljoe, the two former each gavea choice solo. but the Duet “Bright as a Button” captured their hearers, and the length of the pro- gramme alone prevented response to an encore. The instrumental Duet “Annie Laurie” by Tonsie Living- stone and Irene Latimer showed what could be done by those amongst the youngest of the Juniors. At half past nine the meeting closed with the “Good Bye” song and the Junior hand shake. The 1903 An- niversary of this flourishing league will be long remembered. THE Baptist Choir were at Price- ville on Tuesday night and gave a fine musical entertainment. The attendance. however. was not large enough to make the event a financial SUCCESS. THE Sportmen to Muskoka have’nt sent us any word of their success. The contingent from here consisted of Pete Paterson. Billy Calder, Tom Holt and Alex. McLachlan. all true Nimrods. and if they can do as good work in the bush as they think they can do before they go away they’ll bag the legitemate number of bucks before they return. A traveller from' up North reports their arrival out unfortunately for us. hungering as we are for a hunk of that venison he says they got nothing the first week. Well yes! they did get some game .according to his story for Alex, shot i a red squirrel Pete captured a wood- chuck and Billy and Tom left for dis- iniectants after an encounter with a polecat. We hope that they may have good enough luck to come home satisfied with the result of the fort- nights sport. ICENSE D AUCIONEER FOR the County of Grey. Sales Promptly attended to.
