A temnerance ‘convention for the county of Grey will be held in the Frist Methodist church. Owen Sound. on Friday afternoon. May ‘29. at two o’clock. This is an adjourned meeting of the con- vention held recently at Markdale to consider the advisabilitv‘of sub- mitting the Canada Temperance Act to the electors of the county. Mr. John Snell is digging up Garafraxa street with a View to. extending his waterworks system. His intention is to go north -as far as Lambton street. then west across the river. The two sources of supply are now coupled up and it isn’t likely there. Will be any scarcity of water for domestic pur- poses. In making the extension it would be well to provide for two or three places where the Water- wagon could be filled. and thus save delays caused by empty runs. At the convention in Owen Sound on Tuesday of last week, it was decided that the Anglican Sunday schools in Grey county would write on the examination papers set by ,the Sunday School Commission of Anglican Schools in the Dominion of Canada. The ex- amination will be held . a few weeks before Christmas, and W111 cover the scripture and prayer book lessons of the year. Next Monday ‘is Victoria Day. but will not be observed in Dur- ham ,except that all places of business will be closed. The near- est celebration we have heard of so far is the big picnic of Brigham telephone subscribers at Brigham‘s Park, Allan Park. There is no doubt but that a big crowd will be there and the day will be pleas- antly spent. The Durham Band has been engaged and_ will furnish music during the afternoon. All are expected to bring their bas- kets and enjoy themselves. ‘ At the close of the Sunday even- ing services, a mass meeting of the temperance advocates and friends of the cause was held in the Methodist church, when a ”very interesting address was given by Rev. Mr. W haley, the new pas- tor (it the Presbyterian congrega- tion. it was his first appearance in the 'Hethodist church, and his first time‘to speak in Durham on the subject of temperance.

Enquiry led to the dis- covery that they had left by train for Seattle, W’ashington. Rumor also has it that the ticket was sent from there, and that the movement was made wholly un- known to her husband. Mrs. Bov- ington was a home girl, brought up by Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Leggette at the Rocky, and a few years ago she married Bovington. We don’t know the cause of her strange conduct in leaving So un- ceremoniously, but there may be a sensational deveIOpment. We never heard of. ‘an y family trouble. and Mr. Bovington is considered -a good worker and of good habits. Mrs. Wm.

If The Review man meets with an accident: and we can help him out, we’ll do so. If we meet with an accident, he’ll do the same for us. Why should it be otherwise? There may be ex- ceptional cases, but they are very few. In helping one another, are we acting from a spirit of true love to do right, or are we actuat- ed in a certain degree by aspirit of selfishness? Perhaps there’s a little of both. It isn’t wise al- waysto show antagonism even towards an enemy. You and your enemy may have common‘friends whose friendship you may lose if too anxious to show your antip- athy.

Let Us Have Your Next Order. for Job Printing A number of Owen Sound busi- ness men were apparently “taken in” by five Armenians, who posed- as collectors for the support of an Orphans’ Home in their native land. There were five in the gang. and they were fortified with documents supposed to be from' civic and religious authorities. The Rev. Cross George mentioned in the Owen Sound paper as the chief of the party was here a couple of weeks ago and showed' a letter from Bish-Op Farthing to Rev. W. H. Hartley. Mr. Hartley was then of the Opinion that the letter was genuine and written by Bishop Farthing himself. On calling Mr. Hartley’s attention to the report in the Owen Sound paper. he felt somewhat surprised, and will make further enquiries to ascerâ€" tain the facts of the situation. We are not aware to what extent the generosity of Durham business men was shown by their contribu- tions to the little Armenians. We were not invited, and consequently gave nothing to the cause. It seems to be a safe plan to refuse giving money to all beggars who are not well known. A report fiom' Cochrane tells of a man named Campbell who came to that town with $865 to his credit at the bank, the savings of 11 months’ hard labor in the bush at Bell River. After a spree of eight days he was unable to pay for a 65-ce-nt meal at a Chinese restaurant, having only 25 cents left. Constable Wilkins-on was called in and the Chinaman. hearing the story, let him have the meal free. It was his intention to go to Montreal, Where he has a Wife and eight children. On Monday last, Miss Weir, pro- fessional' nurse in attendance on Mrs. Arthur McClovcklin, was taken ill suddenly and had to be brought to her home here. It wasthought she was threatened with appendi- citis, but we understand an opera- tion has 'not yet been decided on. The new seats were installed in the Methodist church last week and Sunday they were used. for the first time. They are of the opera style, and, made of laminâ€" ated oak. They have a light ap- pearance and weight, but yet they will prove strong and durable. The total cost, we understand, is between five and six hundred dol-' lars. a considerable portion of, which has been made up by pri- \ate contribution, several mem- bers and adherents having given enough to pay for one or more seats. They were made in Waterloo, and the man who put them in place told us they are the best opera seats made. ' We don’t know, and consequently took his word for it. They cer- tainly improve the appearance of the church inside. The inside improvements are not all.

The deceased was a daughter of Mr. Isaac Knisley of California, and was born about a mil-e north of Durham 27 years ago. Her mother died when she was nine days old, and the infant orphan was reared and cared for by the Frook family, of Proton. About eight years ago she was married to Mr. Ostra-nder, who mourns the loss of a kind and affectionate wife and mother. Two children survive, a daughter five years old, and. an infant son of only two or three weeks. The de- ceased was a niece of Mr. Jesse Knisley, of this town.

The success of the brick roads where automobiles and fast-run- ning vehicles are used, is leading to their advocacy by users of such vehicles, an evidence in itself that these devices are hard' on -the country roads. The adoption of a high license fee will help to keep up the. condition of the public highways. ' ‘ The deceased was an energetic and industrious man. About 12 years ago he ceased to engage in the general activities of farm life, but continued in good health un- til about a, year ago, when his heart began to give him trouble and he gradually showed signs of failing ' strength. If a man has a large and ex- pensive family to provide for, he hasn’t much time to worry.
