The â€" Sunday School and Missionary Societies of the Presbyterian church, owed much to her activity, and temperance and indeed every moral cause had in her a warm and devoted friend. To those who were associated with her in her work, or were witness of it, her memory will always be an inspiraâ€" tion. _ She has gone to her reward and of few better could it be said, ‘"Well done, good and faithful serâ€" vant."

Sharp. There were only three interested enough to bid on the articles : Fergus Motors Co. : Smith Bros. of Durham and Wm. Calder, the latter being much the largest purchaser. After Court costs had been deducted, a sum of nearly $450.00 remains to meet claims for wages, taxes, etc. Some of the finishâ€" ed cabs sold in the neighborhood of $40.00 and no doubt there were many good bargains, but what can you exâ€" pect at a Bailiff‘s sale.

Durham High and Public Schools reopened Tuesday with the same staffs as last term. Almost 100 are in attendance at High School but it will likely exceed the hundred when all are back. This is slightly less than last year for two reasonsâ€"the success of Durham School in passing so many pupils in Middle School exâ€" ams., and the smaller number of country pupils passing the Entrance here. Principal Robb and staff, Misâ€" ses Weir, Cresswell and Redmond, are now teaching four Fourth Form‘ subjects â€" Literature, Composition, Trigonometry and Algebra, to beâ€" tween 10 and 15 students, as well asl the work of the lower forms.

East of this again will be the laundâ€" ry department. The present nurses‘ lining room will be used in all likeâ€" lihood as the matron‘s sleeping quarters. Eventually as the changes near completion, the xâ€"ray equipment of Dr. D. B.

Miss Fettis, matron, kindly conducted us through the building and the impression . one gathers from her explanations and suggestions in the changes that are taking place â€" under her supervision, is that she knows what she wants, and this is a very necessary factor to have when tearing down and building up. At present everything is in chaos but late fall should see these additions and alterations comâ€" pleted and a very much improved building ag a result. f Sound, to Mr Richard J.
