DURHAM FURNITURE COMPANY EXTENDING PLANT Smdl Addition Being Built to Acco- modato Iachinory Recently Pur- During the past three or four weeks workmen have been engaged in the erection of an addition to the Durham Furniture Company’s plant. The additional space was made ne- cessal‘y to accommodate new mach- inery and extra equipment for use in the glneing room. Work has also been going onfor the erection of new drying kilns, which, when completed, will be of the most up-to-date design. These are being installed to take the place of the old ones in use for years. The dry kiln capacity is being increased by about .40 per cent. at the same time. o The mark is no longer that.- dor Cities Star. NEWS AROUND TOWN chantâ€"Wow Dry Kilns Also. ', August WITH THE WEEKLY PRESS IN THE MARITIME we left our readers at the Syd- neys. the most eaSterly point in the trip, and the rest of the journey we’ll be heading for home. Before leaving the Sydneys, however, we must tell of a trip down a coal mine. This was something new and to be honest we must admit our hesitation in enter- ing the car .to go down the shaft. We feared the thought of entering a gasâ€"laden and suffocating atmos- phere and thought. it best to let the others go and depend on them for a description of what the bottom (it a. coal mine looked like. \\'e \ere asâ€" sureik tn the manager that the air “as all right and that ewn asthmat- ltS had nothing: to fear.

On the. boat a uniaue luncheon was served. The dining compartment was limited and only a part of the1 large company could be served at the tables. 'l‘hree full barrels of cooked lobsters and an ample supply of ginger ale had been provided. It was here that most of us, for the first tlime. tackled whole lobsters, but . few of the party missed the oppor- ? tunily of satisfying their appetites on the strange but delectable. menu. Many were still going strong when l the bottom 01' the last barrel was bared and the ginger ale was'eom: 5 pletely exhausted. It was after dark when we reachâ€" ed Inna and through a glare 01' red lights provided by the residents. we made our way to the special train awaiting us at the station.

It has a population of 2.000. largely cornposed of Highland Scotch ’in descent and among them Gaelic is still to some extent spoken. It is the seat of the Roman Catholic dio- cese of Antigonish and its cathedral (St. Ninian) is a fine stone edifice with a seating capacity of 1,200.

This is the Mine. town of the big and big-hearted Donald Fraser, who runs The East- ern Chronicle, and from former ac- quaintanceship and associations we knew that nothing would be left un- done to give pleasure to our visit ithere. It was here, however. that !we got our first real jolt. We ar- rived early and after breakfast on the train and before the business laces were Open. we went out to see the town. The writer had a headache and tried in vain to tind an open drug store to get efferves- cent salts or a hromo seltzer to reâ€" lieve us of our trouble. At last we came. to a hotel and entering inquir- ed for the bar, knowing that hromu seltzer could sometimes be obtained 'in such. The clerk from whom we made the inquiry cut us off short in our Search, told us that there was no bar. and that we couldn't get a drink in that town.
