" Since the series of picture enter- tainments and Mr. Prudham’s ser- mon, we have read a couple of booklets from which we have learned enough to convince us that Pastor Russell is not the kind of man We want for a spiritual ad- viser. The testimonies given in in the booklets are sworn to. and with the large circulation they eVi- dently have, the authors would have been silenced long ago if they published what was not true. One is entitled “Facts and More Facts About Pastor Russell,” and grew out of action for libel be-. cause of a circular published and caused to be distributed by Rev. J. J. Ross of Hamilton, a Baptist minister. The finding of the grand jury declared “no bill,” and the case ended thereâ€"but Mr. Ross didn’t.

Camp- bell, near Crawford, was the scene of a happy event. when their friends and neighbors assembled to offer congratulations on the, celebration of their silver Wedding. The house was tastefully decorat- ed for the occasion with ever- greens and silver trimmings. The bride of '25 years, attired in black pailette silk, with white lace was complimented on her appear- ance. The groom also looked his best. The family of three sons and four daughters were all pres- ent, with the exception of Doug- las. in Saskatchewan, and William. up the lakes. Now that Parisian Sage can be had at any drug counter it is ‘cer- tainly needless to have thin. brittle. matted, stringy or faded hair. No matter how unsightly the hair, how badly it is falling or how much dandruff, Parisian Sage is all that is needed.

In this con- nection he said that we had not stated in our advertising that children were not desired. We beg to call his attention to the local papers of that week, in which the announcement of the drama appeared and wherein it was stated that all adults would be welcomed.

A Reply to fit. Pmcfiam Editor Chronicle. The stateménts made are as follows: ‘ LETTER TO THE EDITOR DRESSED POULTRY MARKET MARKET REPORT THE DURHAM CHRONICLE u r 1 $1.3", 13 to l3 Mrs. Rainsley followed her husband to the jail and went with him to his cell. After he was locked in she asked leave to kiss him goodby. This was granted. and the lips of husband and wife were glued together and the dia-’ mond passed from the husband’s mouth to the wife’s. The next day Cutts secured a private Interview with Rainsley. telling him that he was sure of conviction and would be sent to state prison for a term of years. Cutts admitted that he was Bradner’s agent and for a half in- terest in the diamond would withdraw the charge against him. Rainsley re- fused. Later Mrs. Rainsley called to see her husband and told him that she had buried the diamond where no one but herself could ever find it. When Cutts came again to the jail Rainsley told him that Mrs. Rainsley had put the diamond where no one could find it and after he had served his term in state prison for the oflense he had not committed he would be rich. The day before the trial Cutts. feeling sure that he could not get the stone by prosecuting. ofi'er- ed not to appear against Rainsley if he would give him $1.000. Rainsley agreed to do this as soon as he oould sell ,the diamond and the next day went forth a free ma n. The night before reaching port they smashed the image. and Rainsley con- cluded to carry it in his mouth. As he and his wife and children stepped ashore they were invited into a room. where all their baggage was taken. The baggage having been carefully ex- amined. they were all searched. but nothing discovered. Rainsley had the stone well tucked away far back on one side of his mouth and gave no evi- dence in speech or otherwise of its be- ing there. He was congratulating him- self that he had got his fortune safely through when he was arrested on a charge made by Cutts that he had stolen money from him. Cutts declar- ed that he had lost bank bills. the num- bers of which he gave. One of the bills was found in Rainsley’s pocket- book. Cutts had put it there. Rains- ley was taken to jail. The diamnnd is now the 'propert'y of an American, multimillionaire. and the Rainsleys are non. Though Bradner and his omcials. knew of the Rainsleys’ departure, they made no eflort to recover the diamond. The family went to the coast. whence they sailed for America. They would have been willing to pay the duty on the diamond, but feared that Bradner had sent an agent with them to at- tach it if they did so and to inform the customs officers that they were smuggling it into the country if they didn’t. 0n the steamer with them was a. young Englishman named Cutts, who won Mrs. Rainsley’s good will by pay- ing especial attention to little Tommy Rainsley, aged four years. and in this way became intimate with the family. Cutts talked a great deal about how to outwit customs officers. Mrs. Rains- ley placed such confidence in his meth- ods and experience in smuggling that she asked him if he had ever thought of concealing small dutiable articles in plaster ornaments. Cutts said that he had not. but thought it would be a good way. Then he began to talk about plaster casts, harping on the sub- ject till Mrs. Rainsley grew suspicious, and, her suspicions once being aroused, she was soon sure that Cutts was Bradner’s agent and would inform the customs officers that they were smuggling a diamond concealed in a plaster image. After considering many ways they hit upon one which they hoped would be successfuL They determined to leave their home. taking with them 'the scanty supply of household goods they possessed. Their living room was decorated with a rough plaster head and shoulders of a child Mrs. Rainsley, who had some artistic skill. made a replica of this and while the plaster was soft embedded the dia- mond In its center. Then she broke the original into fragments, which she buried in the ground. The next day Raihsley was surpris- ed at a visit of Bratlner with a consta- ble who had a search warrant for the diamond. Bratlner having put in a claim that the stone had been found on his land and he was the rightful owner. Mrs. ltalnsley, taking in the situation and knowing that what they sought was in her own bureau drawer, took it when the searching party was at another part at the house and drop- ped it in a think between two logs of which the house was built. The diamond was not found. Joe Rainsley and his wife now had a problem before them. The stone was a fortune in itself, but unless they could get it away it would be of no' use to them. The history of the liainsley diamond is whom. it rei-ea'ved its name from Joseph Rainsley. who was its first and for a long while its only possessor. He Went to South Africa with his Wife and two little vhildron to makeh‘ls for- tune. leased some land and began to hunt for diamonds He picked up nothing but very small stones for awhile till one day he found one of extraordinary size» It was as big as an acorn Raiusley was unwisv enough to Show the stone to John Brmlmer. a neighbor.
