'MR. T308. HARRIS. ex-License In? specter, was in town Monday night. For some time he has been relieving Customs Oflicer and like-a faithful and dutiful servant of the party he goes wherever he is sent. First he went to Strathroy, but of late he has been en- gaged at Niagara. Falls. Finishing up there he was ordered to go to British Columbia, but before starting west he decided to make a flying visit home if only for a few hours. He started for British Columbia on the Tuesday morning train and will not likely be home again for several months. We were pleased to see him looking so well and he was quite ready to agree with us when we suggested that his present position had greater charms than the old one he was forced to re- sign only afew months ago. He looks well and to appearances he' is the me Ox Saturday last another draft for $43.85 was sent to “The Christian Her- ald” Famine Relief Fund, China, being the result of the collecting by Mrs. Torry and Miss Thompson.

On Saturday she and her son Keith left hele to be present at the funeral which was held on Monday afternoon. Small-pox is reported in Ingersol. The schools are closed and ordered to be disinfected. A FIFTEEX horse power Internation- al gasoline engine was installed Tues- day by Messrs. Ayling Sons, to run their brick-making machinery. Mr. John Clark is the agent here and he justly claims to have an excellent en- gine, for all kinds of work requiring power. A VERY pleasant and profitable time was spent in the Presbyterian Church, on Tuesday evening, when the Church Guild held a Social to which the public was generally invited and the members of the different Young People’s So- cieties received a Specially cordial invitation. An abundance of refresh- ments and a good program constituted the chief features of the eveninO'. The proceeds :unounted to about $20 as a voluntry conirbu‘. ion.

READERS Will benefit us and benefit themselves bymaking use of our class- ified advertisements. \Ve propose making this a special feature of the paper that will be easily within the reach of everybody, and we expect everybody to pay for advertising ser- vices. We have in the past been doing too much for nothing and we have decided to quit it. Increased cost of labour and material, forces us to be less generous, but our charges in all cases will continue to be moderate. Please bear in mind we expect pay for all advertising where the advertising can be regarded as a profit to the advertiser. A MEETING will be held in Calder’s Hall on Thursday night in view of or- ganizing a base ball league in the town of Durham. It has been suggested that teams from the different indus- tries be selected and that the town form itself into a league for the sum- mer. Don’t forget the meeting on Thursday night if you have any inter- est in base ball as a sport. THE Stinson bakery is being im- proved. The building in the rear has been overhauled, afine new brick oven added and the place will be fitted up generally for a. bake shop. Not only are these improvements being made but our enterprising baker has pur- chased a new dough mixing machine, an ice cream freezer and a three horse power Fairbanks-Morse gasoline en- gine. These changes will lighten Mr. Stinson’s work *‘very materially and add also to the comfort of the house mving to the removal of the oven which makes the place exceedingly warm during the summer. George is quite a hustler and is evidently doing well. TAKE notice that the residence of Mr. John Cmneron, up town, is adver- tised for sale in our list of properties. This is a. chance for somebody who wants to get a. home now in the pro- gressive town of Durham. Never in the history of the place has there been such a pressing demand for houses. There is hardly a. vacant shack to be found, and places are now occupied that are scarcely fit to live in. it would need at least twenty-five or thirty newhouses to relieve the pres- ent congested condition. and the press- ing demand for houses at once has much to do with spurring opposition to the Fire By-law so much discussed at present. to the Fire By-law so much discussed at present. JUST LIKE MARKDALE.â€"It is aston- ishiner how many old shoes, rubbers, beer bottles, newspapers, tin cans and other humble objects fell from the sky during the snowstorms of the past winter. If it were not for the fact that these things do not melt at the same low temperature at which snow melts. nobody would believe they were so numerous. But streets and yards are unsymmetrically bestrewn with the articles aforesaid, and, as none or few of them were there last fall, they surel y came from above. Many house- hol is accept this view for they seem to be following the rule, “ What has been brought together, let no man put asunder.” Not until the old shoes, 81: al., melt away as ‘did the beautiful snow will the back yards be stripped of their sky-sent ornaments. It is to be hoped that when the temperature soars high enough to bring this about some of the careless citizens will be on for something he didn’t get.” don’t imagine for a moment that the WE have to thank Mr. W. H. L. McCourtie, of Minneapolis, Minnesota. for a cheque for $7.00 on subscription. The paper has been going to his ad- dress in Michigan ever since the Ge- ment Mill here was being promoted. For some years Mr. McCourtie has not been at the address to which the paper has been 80mg. and the first intima- tiOn he got was the receipt of our ac- and sends the cheque for full arrears and a year in advance. Such a man as that will have a, good chance to go to heaven. Contrast his position with that of another man who ordered the paper to a certain address, telling us he would give notice of change when he moved. Five years passed without notice being given, and when we learned of his new address and sent our bill he disclaims the right“ to pay We hand to enjoy the purified atmosphere last fellow willfio with Mr. McCourtie â€"’-Standard. -.

A very cordial invitation is exoended to all sister clnu'ches to come and assist in the work. \V. L. Newton, Pastor. OUR esteemed Confrere up town is spreading right out and we are glad to make a note of his expansion. Re- cently he purchased the property of Mr. Robert Williamson, said property consisting of a dwelling in front and to the rear of the lot a sash, door and planing factory. \Ve understand that Mr. \Villiamson is going to Toronto and that the machinery will be remov- ed by him, so that the building is all that will fall to the lot of Mr. Ramage. Ever since the little shop was built and an engine installed Mr. Ramage felt in constant dread of fire, and we presume he bought the property more for his own safety than for any use he intends to make of it. It was a frame structure and certainly a menace to the neighborhood while in operation. DURHAM, 0NT., THURSDAY, MAY 2. 1907.

THE columns of the Chronicle are open for the discussion of all public questions. )Vhether the opinions of outsiders difier from our views or not it will make no difference. Every one will get a fair show to express his opinion on all proper questions of a local nature. “We believe the press in a small place can be of great service to the community, and that the use of its columns before rushing into any drastic changes will serve a very good purpose. Had the fire by-law been br-.»ught out publicly before: putting it through, the public would now have less reason to‘niake objections.
