Lorp RoseErTts‘ ArrEau. â€" Toronto Globe of recent date contained a létter from General Roberts, dated Pretoria, 30th September 1900, The letter conâ€" tained a strong appeal to the public to refrain from making the welcome to the returned soldiers a "treating" affair. The words used by the noted General were eloquent with praise of the gallant conduct of the soldiers in Kouth Africa. _A passage of the lecter read as follows : "My sincere hope is that the welcome may not take the form ef "treating" the men to stimaâ€" lants in public houses or in the streets, and thus lead them into excesses which must tend to degrade those whom the nation delights to honor, and to lower the ‘Soldier of the Queen" in the eyes of the worldâ€"tbat world which has watched with undisguised admuration the grand work they have performed for their Sovereign and their country. From the very kindness of their hearts, their innate politeness, and their gratiâ€" tude for the welcome accorded them, it will be difficult for the man to refuse what is offered to them by their too "stalk" or "‘stand" for the royal game, While "Jim" was chus engaged letters have been received from his military brother Lient. Fred Hunter, who. in India a year ago was yna:ning tor act» ive service in Africa. has had his wish gratified and has smelt powder in China. We have no doubt his loyal British heart would resent Boxer cruelâ€" ties as much as it did Boer cunning, but we just would like to know tor euriosity‘s sake if he "brought down" as many of the enemy as his brother Two HuxTERSâ€"Mr. Jas.

Hunter returned homelast week from the Bruce peninsula where he spent two weeks in the attractiveand exciting sport of deer hunting. _ Me secured two of the "beauties", the limit allowed bylaw and had them home with him.

He was only son of the late Roderick Mcâ€" Kenzie, and was a young man of taient _and ability, though, to his own loss these were some times obscured by the tenâ€" dency of his social nature to excesses.

Miles Wilson. m Reu The style is altogether unique and as far remmoved as possible from the ordinary, right angled, L shaped buildings so commonly in use. Its principal front, if it has a front, looks west, and is adorned with an elegant verandah and large window in the second story. We are entirely at a loss lto de;cr%be the vaixl"..:ns l.'1‘1oogs and angles, ecting cireu corners, &c., but certainly inside there is an arrangement of halls and rooms which are models of attractiveness and conâ€" Mavyor Lamuaw took to house building this year and having freed himself from business, went into it con amore. â€" The fine site on Mill St. has been utilized to the best ad yvantage and to day there stands there one of the most attractive resiâ€" dences in Durham, which we hope Mr, Laidlaw and family may long enjoy. _ The whole building is under a felt and gravel roof which draims the rainâ€" fall into a bng cistern,. The area on top is extensive enough to suggest a comparison with the hanging gardens of Seqmiramis. Mr. Mclntyre has an office and an electric light supply room aboye the western stores, The cost of this fine building will touch about $9000 and the *«*Mcintyre Block" will long stand as a monument to the enterprise and the taste of our townsman,. Henry Prast, Hanover, is contractor for mason work, plastering and roofing. Ed. Kress had the woodwork. Joe Parrot finishes every store with fine steel ceiling through which which at several El.-wvs light is admitted from the roof by shafts or wells. The whole } place will be lit by eleetric light, and | supplied with water from the waterâ€" works system. 4 Above the three side stores is another residence to be occupied by F. Lenahan and family. This can be entered from his store or from Lambton St.. and here, too, comfort and convenience has been studied though with less elaboraâ€" tion than the other. Above the front stores is to be the Mciutyre residence. _ Entering from Lambton St, the visitor will find himâ€" self in a spacious vestibule leading to a wide hall in which is the main stairâ€" way to the residence above. From the top of this to the right is a fine hall with _ an elaborate â€" arrangement _ of rooms on each side mauking what will be at once a handsome, couvenient, and commodious resigence. â€" Bathrooms and all modern conveniences are provided. lor to anything in town, The area built over frounts for 53 feet on Garafraxa St. and extends 126 feet back. _ Between the corner and the bank there are three stores two double and one single facing on the main st. The ~corner one Will he nerinriest© h« Of the strides forward made by priâ€" vate enterprise easily the first is Norâ€" man McIntyre who has added to the tine block built by him two years ago an extensive addition filling up his property from the corner northward to the bank and westward to the Livery stable with a handsome structure, superâ€" ior to anvthing in town Taking what may be called Corporaâ€" tion work first, we note the great fact that following the example of two years ago, extensive additions have been made to our cement sidewalks. An expert estimate furnished us makes the amount spent on sidewalks foot up to $30,000. They have hbeen continued on Garafraxa St both sides from Saddâ€" ler St, South for a block or two.

Corner to the foot of the hill, and from the corner of the Calder block east to the Laidlaw residence and around it. Following our usual custom _ we intend to make a survey of the proâ€" gress of the town during this last year of the nineteenth century. The last three or four years were years of subâ€" stantial progress and when our suryey of this year is concluded we beiieye it will be seen that advancement is still the watchword of the town with the prospect that the opening century will see still greater advancement.
