“Weather Delaying Footbail Here" says a heading in'The Owen Sound Sun-Times. How sad! “Weather Delaying Seeding Here” is the farm- ers’ greatest worryâ€"and our sympa- thy is with the farmers in this par- ticular. It is well to remember that every Mud belief the race now has was at one time celled heresy. I am sure you will agree with me that the thanks 0! the ‘eitizens of Durham should be extended to Mr. P. Gagnon. manager of the furniture factory, for the interest he has taken in reorganizing the Band, and has left no stone unturned to make it a success. Would that other gentle- men of the town fall in line and also help to make the Band second to none in the district. lisplacod Sympathy. Listening to such a good program on Thursday owning. we may feel assured of bellnr things in the fu- ture. Everyonn will he we‘ll pleased with the neat. new uniforms, which haw been a long-felt want to the Band.

BARB WAS APPRECIATE) To the Editor of Thv Chronicle : Al the close of the program a luncheon of sandwiches, cake, coffee and ice cream was liberally served. The National Anthem brought. the meeting to a close about “:30. Mr. Robert Mnm'ehead. a hrother from Palmerston Lodge. hut who is a resident of Durham. being.' the en- gineer of the Canadian National Cannonball from here to Palmershm. was called on at. the close and gave much o'lelight to the audience in a number of police court skits. Mr. Moorhead shows considm'ahle ver- satility and his rapid change from one dialect to another gave evidence of a gift possefised by comparatively few. Whether he said it in English, Irish. Scotch. Italian or Coon, he showed equal proficiency. Miss llulo', who hacl only a short limo" fur m-vparatinn. gave a good rom‘lm'ing fit “0er the Hill to tllc Pour llousv." and this was followed by “w sc-quvl pcwm, “()wr the Hill From llw l’nnr llH-usv" by Y0 l‘lnlilur. M r. J. A. Graham. at the request of Mr. Calvin Kinnee, the chairman, made a verbal address and Mr. W. Laidlaw at his request presented the jewel. “'0' were not at all taken by surprise and the feehleness of our reply in thankim.r the brethren for the recognition was in no way in- fluenred by embarrassment from any snrh came. We endeavored to say we always had a kindly feeling towards thldl‘ellowship as a leading fraternal and henefieial organization. Though twenty-live years a member. we had been providentially blessed by having no sickness and had never been under the necessity of looking for henetits from the society. 1 An interesting feature of the pro- gram was the presontatit‘m of a Vot»ran‘s Jewel to Yo Editor, who on the 25th of April had completed twenty-five years of mvmborship and was deserving of recognition ac- cording: to rustom or the order. Nohvithflanding the regretted disappointment a very profitable time was spent and we believe all enjoyed the program. In addition to readings by Miss Gertrude Cole and W. Irwin, an enjoyable "round” by Messrs. Thomas Bell and Peter Ram- age and Misses Vaddie Caldwell and Beulah Sloneouse, and a violin solo by Miss Ada Brown, a most inter- esting talk on “Talking" was given by Rev. W. H. Shith, who handled his subject ably, and edifled and enâ€"‘ tertained the audience for about half ' an hour. Short addresses were also delivered by Revs. Cole, Whealen and Cameron, the other local clergy- men. In addition to a general musical and literary program, Rev. Walter Cox. a Past. Grand of Toronto, was expected and advertised to give an address on Oddfellowship. Unfor- tunately. subsequent arrangements made it impossible for him to at- tend. but. the intimation expressing his regrets was not received until late in the evening. when it was deemed necessary to make additions to the program. TIE ODDIBLLOWS “A? [0.3” The Oddfellows had an “At Home” on Monday night, when the Hall was comfortably filled by the brethren and invited guests. Owing to limâ€" ited accommodation a general invi- tation could not be extended and ar- rangements were made for each member to bring two friends of their own choosing. Had all responded, the little hall would have been filled to nwrflowing. LOVER OF MUSIC. '. It! 36. Mrs. Thomas Woodyard recently I'vcoived word of the death of her rathor at Riverview.
