Ten years later they came to Durham where he worked for some time with A. & A. Cochrane in Durâ€" \ ham Foundry. Thence they took up , farming in Glenelg near â€"Scotchtown, | where they remained a few years, | then‘ removed in 1873 to the farm now (occupled by Herb. Vollett in Bentinck southwest of Durham. Several years later they moved to the present home ;l'arm, one and a half miles direct!y | west of town. The late Mrs Armstrong was revâ€" ered as a mother and highly, respectâ€" ed as a neighbor and friend by the entire community. She was a memâ€" ber of Durham â€" Presbyterian church and her pastor, Rev. W.H. Smith, conducted the funeral service last Saturday afternoon.

It is stated that hotel property has increased about 40 per cent in value since the announcement in the speech from the throne that the bars would be open and a beer with a kick sold to the customers.

It has now â€" been practically deâ€" cided by the Ontario. Gov‘t that the new tax on beer will be collected through the Provincial Treasurer‘s Department from the breweries. So far as the Gasoline tax is concerned, it will likely by collected through the Department of Highways. Owing to a difference of opinion as to the amount of Walkerton‘s deficit which is thought to be around $15, 000, the council on the advice of Soâ€" licitor McNab, decided to call in a Provincial Municipal Auditor at $8 per day and expenses, to audit the Treasurer‘s books, the investigation to extend back to 1915 when the deâ€" bentures of the town were consolidâ€" ated.
