Everybody wel- vome.â€"*2 IT was quite a surprise to learn of the intended departure of Mr. Robert Hughes. who is well-known as the obliging clerk at Morlock’s store for some years and latterly at Ireland’s. Mr Hughes has secured a position in the Gordon Mackay wholesale Dry Goods House in Toronto, and left Monday afternoon last, to enter his duties in a larger sphere of activity. He has been a very honest, hon01 able and obliging clerk here, and a mosti faithful member of the I.0.0.F., where he was lately elected to the position of Vice Grand, and would in all probabil- itv have been elevated to the Noble 'Grand’s Chair at the end of the p1 esent year. He will be missed from the Lodge. but the brethren all rejoice to learn of his advancement. It was not till the end of the week that the announcement was made and his resignation tendered to Mr. Ireland, and as he was going away Monday the brethren of the Lodge thought it a very opportune time to express their good will after church on Sunday night when he was presented W1th a handsome leather grip accompanied by a few short exteniporaneous addresses by some of the members. Mr. Hughes made an appropriate reply. out his oratorial powers didn’t seem to be in good working shape as he was taken somewhat by surprise. \Ve wish him Continued success. \VE regret to chronicle Llw failure of the Farmers’ Manufacturing Sup- ply 00., which made an assignment to Mr. A.

There has been a su- spicion for some time that the Com- pan\ was in financial t1 ouble, and that it was only a mattei of time till they would have to cease operations. We are not in a position to say how the creditors will come out in the deal, but we understand the Co. .has notes and manufactured machines sufficient to cover their liabilities. The stringency in the money market- and the difficulty of turning long time notes into cash is a partial reason for their failure, We regret to see an industry go down. as the failure of an institution of this kind will be felt. not only by the em- ployees. who are thrown out of work, but by the whole community.

THE South G1 ey Temperance Assoca- tion will hold their legular monthly meeting in the Baptist chux ch on Fri- day (to mm row) evening at 8 o’clock, when important business will be brought up for discussion. THE Corner Stone of the new Epis- copal Church in Egremont will be well and truly laid on the 16th of this month. The Rector of Trinity Church is deserving of much credit for his executive ability in bringing this church into existence. Few would have thought such a task at all prac- ticable, but. the progressive and enter- prising Rector has demonstrated the fallacy of any such idea. \Ve congrat- ulate him and the people of the neigh- borhood on the success of their enterprise. THE Town Council and the Board of Directors of the Cement ()0. met on the evening of August lst to discuss the smoke and dirt nuisance. Mr. MacKay. of \Voodstock, and Mr. Hoyle were the two spokesmen for the Company, and eXpressed in words their regrets that any annoyance or inconvenience should be :aused the town, because of the presence of the mill here. They attributed the smoke in a large degree to the inferior quality of mail, and promised a better condi-‘ tion of things when they got into the new marl beds. It was largely due to the influence of Mr. Hoyle in parlia- ment that cement mills were excluded from the Act regarding smoke nuis- ances, and he can’t get enough sympa- thy into his speeches before a Durham audience to make them feel that he cares a continental whether we are ' smoked out or not. It took us a long p time to learn that a Company’s prom- l ise doesn’t amount to much, but some lof us are getting it into our beads by l this time. 5 l l i l l l I l i l l l IN the Lacrosse Match here last week between Hanovel and the Du: ham boys the visitoxs wexe short four men from Owen Sound. This, they (.. mim, had something to do with the unequal score made by the competing teams. Some of the Owen Sound papers seem to rejoice' over Hanover’s defeat be-; cause “Hammer 1% one of the teams" that opposed Owen Sound’s entry intol District No. 4.” This seems to be a spiteful way of \ iewing the situation, I and the gratification shown by the Sun and Advertiser is not likely to in- tensify the honor of the Owen Sound boys. who left their comrades in a lurch at the last moment. \Viiatever attitude Hanover may have taken in keeping Owen Sound out of District No. 4, the boys from Owen Sound, who old their services to Hanover for the season, should not have deserted them at the last moment. Not only did Hanover suffer by their absence, but the lacrosse team of Durham and all the spectators had reason to feel dis- appointed when the game was played. Lacrosse is a good game, but there’s too much gambling and treachery about it to inspire the public with confidence in it. Durham in the last I game defeated Hanover by 11 to 4, but [the spectators, nor the teams either, are not sure what the ‘result would have been had all the Hanover players been on the spot, and the game con- tested honestly. What the better class of public want is a good clean honest game, even though their own team should happen to be the losers. The Hanover boy's did some nice work here, and we give them credit for it, but the absence of four of their regular players made them feel. from the first, no doubt, that the chances were against them. Our boys, too, felt the contest was an uneven one and they didn’t put up as good an article of la.- crosse as the spectators looked for.

O. 0. F. at- tended service at the Methodist Church on’ Sunday evening last. The pastor. Rev. W'. S. J amieson, who is a member of the Order, joined the procession at the lodge room and accompanied the members to the church Where he de- livered a very appropriate address from John XV: 15â€"“ I have called you 'friends.” There were fifty or sixty present out of a total membership of about a hundred. The band was in attendance and led the procession. After returning to their lodge room votes of thanks were tendered Rev. Bro. Jamieson, the members of the choir, and Bro. I. Sirrs. who acted as Marshall. SOME thiee or four years am) we‘ gave a notice in this paper about the dangei 0113 and destzuctive Bishop weed to be found on some farms be- tween here and Priceville. Our atten- tion was called to it at the time by S, L. M. Luke who knew something about the weed down east. On Satur- day last he came in again with another stalk of the same kind of weed and told us it was rapidly spreading in Glenelg and if not checked would soon over-run the township. It is very dif- ficult to conquer and some means should be adopted to check its pro- gress. We have patches of it inside the corporation of Durham which should be attended to. ’3. THE Town Council met on Monday night last. After going through the regular routine of business, including the passing of accounts. the Council went into a consideration of the amendments to be incorporated into the Fire By-law. when ahitch occurred between Mayor Calder and the mem- bers of the Council. Mr. Calder, it appears, is opposed in some measure to the Fre By-law, which he claims extends over too much of the town and is likely to retard the building of a class of houses much needed for pur- poses of renting at a low rate. The by-law requires, brick. stone or con- crete for all buildings in acertain area of the limit, but will allow veneered in the remainder. After some cross- firing between the Mayor and Council the Mayor left the table, but the by- law went througlyn his absence. ' - DURHAM, 01, THURSDAY.
