Mr. llole. who has served as lpastor in the Methodist church here for the past liye years, has been sla- lioned at Elmira and will take charge of the work there on the lirst Sunday in July. According to the lirst draft at the recent. conference, he was down for Springford. near 'l‘illsonlmrg. but. a change was after- wards made and he was appointed to ‘a larger place. His successor here is Rev. J. E. Peters. M.A. Rev. and .“ rs. Cole were popular here during the whole period of his pastorate. They were well liked by the people generally and will he missed. Mrs. Cole and two daughters, Misses Marie and Gertrude, were a great help .in the social work of the church. All were willing and earn- est. workers and never seemed to tire in doing what they could for the good of the church. During the five years of Mr. Cole’s pastorate he was always on friendly terms with min- islers of other denominations and the members of other churches. \N’e wish him success in his new field of labor.

He said he opposed the (lid system of spending thi1t) million dollars on a highway from Montreal to Windsor, .and would still Oppose it. the. building of four hundred miles of highway to serve. only the southern portion of the province. Four hundred miles would not cover the needs of the province and. there- fore. 1.800 miles were undertaken. 0f the money spent. 80 per cent. was used in permanent road construc- tion and the remainder in surfacing the road. He admitted that a stretch of less than two miles of the road from Hamilton to Brantford, the most traxelled portion, over which 5 .000 cars travelled daily the cost was 2,000 a mile. He said the revenue from the forests had been increasod from $1,900,000 to $4,500,000 and that this was done by the appointmont of of- ticials who were anxious for the welfare of the Province.

It was ideal weather and everything went off harmoniously. The attendance is estimated V‘ar-A iously and from two to ten thousand have been named. Though we have no means of finding out accurately, we are quite certain the latter fig- ure is away too high and we think that four thousand would include all. Most from a distance we fancy came by cars and we heard it said that there were between three and four hundred in adjoining fields and along the roadside. PRBIIBR DRURY nzmns GOVT. AT BIG H.120. PICNIC The 17.1".O. picnic held yesterday afternoon about a mile north of town on the grounds of Mr. Robert Lawson was a great success, numerically and financially, as the gate receipts must have run into a snug sum. The pres-l ence of Premier Drury was the greati attraction and many from all sides of politics were glad to hear him. by his is all done the town will have an asset it may well be proud of. Though we call it Durham Ceme- tery, we are not forgetful of the fact that. it belongs to the plotholders and to make it what it ought to be they should contribute to its mainten- ance without an. annual reminder from the Board advising them of the need of more funds. A visit to the hallowed spot will be a revelation in many who have not seen its improv-i ed condition. I The lawn mowing is a big job, es- pecially when it has to be done by hand, 'and a power mower of some kind should he prm Med, and will be in all probability as soon as funds are Wailable. Too much credit can- not be given the Board fer the inter- est being taken, and when the work, "'U" --. vuvln Uluvlo It takes money to keep the place as it should be. and plotholdersrliving here and elsewhere will beglad to contribute to such a worthy cause. [p in lately a visit to the cemetery hy relatives from a distance was anything but a pleasure. In fact, we are sure that the cendiion of the place brought sadness to many. and t‘riendshere. never thought of the eemmery as an attractive. spot when friends come to visit them. New they'll take a pride in going there.: and as the work advances their pride will be intensified. The whole cem- etery is gone over twice a week with a lawn mower and kept neatly trim- med. 'l‘he work is still in progress. and as time goes on further improve- ments will be made. The Board is enthusiastic and every dollar con- tributed will be. well and judiciously Spent. Two men are engaged in. the work and there is still a lot to do in improving the plots and driveways. W]. I - ' This is all changed now. The greater portion of the cemetery has been leveled and seeded, so that a lawn mower can be readily used. The Weeds and stones have been remov- ed and much has been done to give it. a clean, tidy appearance. Every- thing is fresh and green. The head- stones and monuments that formerly leaned in all directions, have been mostly straightened up, and from now on we are sure that many of the citizens and relatives of the deceased will be glad to visit the place and find the surroundings in such order. “0. mm a run owr IIII 'IIII'sdas mIIrning and vwin mule than sur- [Iiismi at the tIaIIstIImatiIIII madv in so short a time.

DURHAM CEMETERY PROPERTY WILL SOON BE THING OP BEAUTY The remainder of the afternoon was spent in games, baseball and other amusements, but our time and space are limited and we are unable to give a further report this issue. At the close Mr. Thomas Binnie explained how it was that the Dur- ham Band was not in attendance and endeax ored to correct a false im- pression that, he said, was in circu- lation. Mr. Drury is hopeful of success, and urged the electors to give their support to Dr. Leeson. The Shevlin Clark deal on which 'the charges against Howard Fergu- son were made was dealt with at some length, and Mr. Ferguson made the subject of heavy criticism. There was evidently no love between Mr. Drury and Mr. Ferguson, whose new temperance legislation talked of Backus deal: and declared that not more than one-twentieth of it was true. Gross exaggerations were cir- culated as to the amount of timber sold.
