OY Lower Town LaIstfs, 3, 1902 of?t °d M em Wed Kur 1l}<c W N2 â€" \A A NEw CHUorc:.â€"The Baptist conâ€" gregxation here have decided on having a new church and the structural feaâ€" tures of it are in preparation at Archiâ€" tect Ritchie‘s of Mt, Forest. The site choser is to be the north east corner of the p» sent lot. Rev, Mr. Newton has bougl.« the western half of the lot and will erect a residence there and is going to mov«e the present church back for a stable and shed. This is a forward move which gratifies the whole town, and we hope pastor Newton and the Baptist people will soon be the proud possessors of one of the handsomest Ladies Look Younger. Which is the desire of one and all. Take the trouble of visiting Prof. Dorenwend‘s private show rooms at the Middaugh House, Durham, on Thursâ€" day, April 17. and see the many beautiâ€" ful inventions in Styles of Human Hait Coverings, Wigs, Bangs, Switches, etc., and inspect his new patent structure.

A ransscking of the private libraries and book cases in town has resulted in the return of a number of books not?in for some time. There are still a few out, and holders should see that they are reâ€" turned at once so as to appear in the right place. We have a slplendid liâ€" brary here as we learned by last week‘s work. but it is rather humiliating to find in History and Science an occasionâ€" al ussfual book with the leaves still unâ€" cut, wWe hope the new step being taken will result in a large increase of readers who will dip into something just as fascinating as fiction, and much more usef{al. possessors The Silk Bargains at The Big Store this week are short ends from 1 to 4 yds and the price is just exactly 4 Regular Price. â€" We Silks for 2¢ vd. € Miss Charlotte E.

Allan, Rev, Messrs Smith _ and _ Farguharson, ; Inspector Campbell, Secy Ramage and Mr. Irwin. who composed the delegation. _ The council after a few questions united on a motion moved by Jno. H. Brown, seconded by Jonn McKechnie, to grant $50 to the Board. This is in line with the practice in many towns and the President duly thanked the council. The board recognizes that the influx of young men and others to work at our industries makes it imperative on them to provide some means to profitably employ the recreative hours of the evening, and no better means can be found than support of a Reading Room where Daily and Weekly papers, high class magazines, quiet games of chess or checkers can be read or indulged in, and it is within the possibilities of the near future that a gymnasium should be established. tia at the expiration of: O‘Gradyâ€"Haly‘s term of office in July next has lssuetf’u message for publication in Canada which will smooth the way for his popâ€" ularity and usefulness here. _ 1t reads : "The Canadians who served under me in South Africa were men trom the ‘top of their head to the soles of their feet.
