He dres ses in the usual wayâ€"which has been described in every daily paper, probâ€" ably, black cutaway coat, with unusuâ€" ally sharp coat tails. He wore grey trousers, a small gold watch chain across his vest, grey cravat with small diamond pin. His eye glasses which he uses only when reading, have torâ€" toise shell rims, large round lens and are worn around his neck on a black heavy ribbon. He always wears the "corners of his mouth turned up" denoting opâ€" timism and good cheer. There‘s a smile in each line that radiates from the outer corners of his lovely eyes. Later in the evening he addressed more than 10,000 in the Cadle Taberâ€" nacle. He showed his mettle as an orator. 1 consider his speech a literâ€" ary gem, full of uplifting thought and teeming with expressions | that scinâ€" tillate and glow. He is a master of the glittering phrase. He garbs his thoughts so that it stands out as a diamond sparkles. To see and hear Lloyd George is not only a rare opportunity but an event.

The elecâ€" tors had to vote on a choice of four propositions as below ; The Votel 1. Continuance of Prohibition.. 42,963 * neer in botels ............ S111 2. Sale of beer by Gov‘t ...... 2,348 4. Gov‘t control and sale of beer in licensed hotels ......66,508 A majority of over 23,000 which seems decisive enough. The allurement of the liquor and the allurement of the financial gain to the Province are the two main facâ€" tors in such a result. _ The trouble ilhat follows the first allurement has sunk out of sight in the meantime, so | has the reflection that Government | gains means individual losses : means | that homes will lose some of their | sanctity and charm, means that the | church wil thave an added stumbling | block placed in its path. "B'ut-lt is the voice of the people and must get its trial. The school room of the Presbyterâ€" ian church was filled to capacity on Tuesday evening last with an eager and interested array of children and an equally interested array of parents and friends of the children to witness their â€" performance â€" of "A night in China" arranged by Miss Margaret Mcâ€" Girr and under the auspices of the Junior Mission Band of the church. Miss McGirr spent much time and thought on preparation of the evening and her best reward is in the knowâ€" ledge of the appreciation that is exâ€" tended to her by the childréen and their parents. The evening was chiefly of a misâ€" sionary nature and in song and story and motion, the children displayed the characteristies of the Chinese people and of their heathen customs. The respective parts were well done by the wee tots who in this method of presentation, retain in their mind the needs of the heathen element of China, when mere story telling would be forgotten. Mrs. Speace entertained â€" the audâ€" ience to a few choice selections and was eagerly recalled. Master James Henderson for a young lad, played a piano solo well. Miss Kathleen Milne was the accompanist of the evening and did efficient work. The latter half of the program was devoted to an exhibition of lantern slides on the Chinese people and their customs and also several of the curâ€" jous bird‘s nests of the world. At the close of the evening‘s proâ€" gram, a pleasing event took place, when in a few timely remarks from Rev. W .H. Smith, who was chairman of the evening, Miss Mary MceKechnie presented Miss McGirr on behalf of the Band, with a sum of money as a practical appreciation from its memâ€" bers of her good work on their beâ€" half. Miss McGirr warmly thanked them and said it was work she loved to do. 7816 was made at the door on a 15¢ and 10c admission fee.

The first burial in this cemetery was that of the remains of a James Burgess, a cousin of the late James and Gordon Burgess of early Durham and who met his death by drowning in the Saugeen.

When she retires we hope she may make Durham her home and when she next visits the Red Cross Hospital she will see a brass tablet inscribed with her name in honour of the gift. Durham Branch of the Women‘s Inâ€" stitute added another $50 to their orâ€" iginal donation of $50, thus making their donation $100 which entitles them to have a hospital bed named for their Institute. Similarly Dornoch Branch of the Women‘s Institute added $25 to their original donation of $75 and made it the $100 for a similar object. Then Dornoch is heard from again when a check of $100 is received from the Dornoch Catholic Women‘s League per Mrs M. D. McGrath, Treasurer, Williamsford.
