These changâ€" es were first in use Tuesday last. ‘The screenedâ€"off robing room and witnes, box has been long requestâ€" ed and we rather think thanks are due our efficient town officer, Mr. Ham Allan for thus adding to the dignity of the Court Room, while new tablecovers and a flower or two gave it a homey touch. Boy Scout Euchre ecudolle.) s t Pn o 6+ oi U anded a two Pounder The best trout catch we have eard oi this season, was that of r. Sterling Mclntyre, son of our wiary man, who on Tuesday landed two pounder from the McKechnie aim. It measured 17 ins. in length. The Boy Scouts euchre came . off Friday night last in the Town Hall, but only eight tables were in play. The success of the euchre in the winter of 1925 led them to plan for one on a large scale in 1926, but the lateness of the season combined with insufficient advertising was mainly responsible for the poor attendance. When May evenings come around, the citizens are busy giving their gardens the first thought. However those who did atlpnd enjoyed some CHee s ie t e P good games. Mrs. J. A.

Nichol, Durham No Service at Trinity Sunday Judge Sutherland had before him on Tuesday last two cases which aâ€" roused â€" considerable interest. One was a claim of $7.51 by Dr. Ellis of Holstein against Mr E. Smith of the same village for professional servicâ€" es. This was countered by a contra account, extending over a dozen years for services rendered of varâ€" jous kinds and amounting to almost four times the Ellis claim. Both parâ€" ties had their books in court, but His Honour after examination, gave verdict for the plaintif for $5.63 and costs. E. A. Henry for plaintiff : C. C. Middlebro for defendant. The other case arose over the well known Voker Bodies defalcation. At least eight wage earners put in claims through Solicitor Campbell Grant of Walkerton, amounting to over $300. After due notice to De fendant in a legal way, execution was issued against his goods which! were sold by Bailiff‘s sale on Sept. ist last, amounting to over $400. The Town got busy also and put in a claim for taxes amounting to near-“ ly $500, and the issue is which of these claims take precedence. Eviâ€" dence of the Town Treasurer went to show that he had been instructed to add Hydro taxes to town taxes, had sent notice by mail in usual way and the letter returned unopened. This letter was produced and openâ€" ed by the Judge. Mr C. C. Middle bro conducted the town‘s case, Mr. Campbell Grant for the wage earnâ€" in V-_s';;;enl Judgment Summons cases were disposed . of or adjourned to next Court which meets on July ith Messrs W. Calder and W. A. Mcâ€" (Gowan gave evidence as to their inâ€" terest in the property, and after weveral "exhibits" had been placed in Judge‘s hands, he reserved his deâ€" cision for further examination. Ch¢ Division Court Eliza Patterson, Sec‘y and W. A. Mcâ€" 8 Teams to Organize in \ _ Town Baseball League Marked enthusiasm | was shown Tuesday night at a meeting called at the Hahn House to organize a Durâ€" ham Softball League. _ About thirty to forty young men were present, and when all proposed teams were entered, eight different organizations were lined up. C. C. Middlebro was voted to the chair, and first called for election of officers, which resultâ€" ed as follows : Hon. President, Mayor J. Murdock President, Peter Ramage Vice President, Lance MceGirr Sec‘y Treas., G. 8. Burnett Executive Com.: The ofticers and captain of each of the eight teams. The eight organizations which will enter teams are the Stone & Sand Co.; the Durham Furniture Co. : the Oddfellows ; Merchants ; â€" the Band : Anglican _ Church : High School : Boy Scouts and Rovers. Each team is allowed to sign 12 players and no one can trans/er, or play on two tearns after season opâ€" ens. At the meeting, one man Was appointed for each team who would see that players were signed up and a captain elected. This must be comâ€" pleted before Wednesday night, May 19th and lists deposited with Sec‘y. At an executive meeting that night, the schedule will be drafted, umpires appointed, ete. _ There will probably be at loast two games A weekâ€"on Thursday afternoons or early evenâ€" ing. Each team provides what little equipment is necessary, and it is proposed to take up & collection at games to defray transient expenses, and provide prizes of some kind for winning team at close of season. With eight teams in competition, every young fellow desirous of play ing should catch a place on one Or other of the lineups. On paper, ali the lineups have some good material available, and it should be a wellâ€" balanced race Fifty years ago last January, Mr.\ Kelly commenced his banking career| in Newcastle and was subsequently | stationed at Colborne, Bradford and Toronto. In these places he served | eleven years, acquiring the training| which brought him to Durham, hls\ birthplace, as manager thirty nine years ago. During all these years.\ Mr Kelly was never transferred. His ability and intimate knowledge of the people and community, was recâ€" ognized as a source of strength to the local bank and he built up such a good business, that it is conceded to be one of the strongest branches outside of the cities. The past year or so his health has failed him to some extent and while still at work daily, has decided to spend his reâ€" maining years less strenuously. His many friends in town and country 1w‘lll wish for him and (Mrs Kelly, many â€" happy . years with us, freed ltrom the onerous duties he so efficâ€" iently performed. Durham to Witness Bascball this Summer instead of Lacrosse Tfié rt{ew Manager, Mr Johnson, was here one day last week and will return next week, though not AS~ suming charge till June 1st. He is middleâ€"aged and carries an attractâ€" ive personality. His wife, two childâ€" ren and mother compose the houseâ€" hold, and he expects to board for & time until able to secure & satisfacâ€" tory residence. For some years he has been changed around, he states, and will be pleased to get more perâ€" manently settled. We extend them a hearty welcome to our town and trust they may long enjoy its citiâ€" zenship. 40 strong, worshipped in Knox ited Church on Sunday last listened to a good sermon from tor W.H. Smith. It was fou and he Brethren of local 1. O. O. F. Attend Service in Knox Church. The members of this Society, over Oddfellows‘ Sunday DURHAM, THURSDAY MAY 13. 1926 With which is incorporated the Holstein Leadger for him, took him to an inn, but stayed the night with him, gave the host two pennys, (two days wages) and stressed strongly the fact that to the penny he added a promise. There was no limit to that promise : it is the promise that makes the story unique. Too often we don‘t go out of our way to succor or to help, love is sometimes thoughtless as well as blind, the absence of brothâ€" erly love was shown in strikes. The spirit that redeems the world is not in scheming how little I can do or give, but how much. If the whole Christian church had observed the spirit of "Take care of Him," if to the penny they hbad adâ€" ded the promise, it would have been a different world with less of wars, strikes and such like. _ There could be no fellowship unless rooted in the promise ‘Take care of him and whatâ€" soever thou spendest more I wilireâ€" pay thee.‘ Special music was rendered by the choir for the occasion and as well a male quartette, comprised of four brother Oddfeliows rendered in good harmony, "Wandering Child come Home,‘ viz. Messrs Thos. Bell, Chas. Lang, Cameron Lauder, P. Ramage. The Lodge presented as favors to the choir members, each a beautiful rose Returning to the lodge room after the service, a vote of appreciation was given to Rev. Mr Smith, for his discourse. Messrs E. D. McClocklin and T. M. McFadden were mover and seconder respectively, the former commenting on the fact that he had heard many addresses on the topic they had heard, but never one taken up from this viewpoint. _ The lessons to his hearers were forcibly brought out. Bridge Committee Were Heye Wednesday Accompanied by County Engineer, McKnight and Provincial Engineer: Hawes, the Roads and Bridges Comâ€"| mittee of Grey Co. Council met in Durham _ Wednesday noon to view the wrecked County Road Bridge at; Durham cemetery and plan for its reâ€"| construction. j The deputation comprised Warden| Miller of Euphrasia, Reeve Taylor of Osprey, Reeve Calder of Egremont, Roeve Pringle of Keppel, Mr John Johnston, Sup‘t of County Roads, and the Chairman of the Com., Reeve Holm of Normanby. In Durham they were joined by Reeve McDonald and Dep. Reeve Grierson of Bentinck, Mayor Murdock and Reeve Bell and svyeral members of the local Merch, ants‘ Association. | The whole party, about 11 a. m., went out to inspect the havoc wrought by the recent flood when the Durham Bridge west of town, went down over three weeks ago, with about 25 ft of the roadway. Chairman Holm states a new steel bridge will be built to replace it, with probably 100, ft span tnd will cost approximately $8000 to $10,000. The wreck of the old bridge will have to be blased out of the way. A roodway for a temporary bridge could be built at the south side, and the location â€" selected â€" should it be approved by the committee. The visitors were entertaned to dinner at the Hahn House, followirg which Reeve Bell addressed the gathering, pointing out the serious setâ€"back the ruined‘bridge is to the town, the third time the last few years this important road has been closed to traffic. He requested the Committee to supply a temporary wooden brdge now, which would enâ€" tail a very short detour, instead of over two miles as at present is neâ€" cessitated. _ If granted, he could asâ€" sure them a goodly number of citiâ€" zens would go out some day and asâ€" sist in its construction. _ Messrs D; C. Town and F. Irwin also spoke briefly to the same effect. Reeve Mcâ€" Donald, Bentinck, stated if tempor ary bridge was not granted, they would improve detour and keep it in gool condition for the increased trafie. Mr Holm replied that they hoped to let the contract soon for the new bridge and have construction comâ€" menced in three or four weeks. Six or seven weeks should see it erectâ€" ed and it coull be ready for traffic by 1st of September. He could not say as to building of temporary bridge, but the Com, would meet in Dundalk at night ond make decision. The delegation afterwards set out to inspect the townline bridge north of Hanover, where an abutment is urdermined. Besides this, the Counâ€" ty has another bridge to build near Neustadt, making three in all. Won a Hat. Mr A. W. H. Lauder was pleasantly surprised last week to receive a cheque for the price of a hat from his Company, the Great WEst Life, as a special prize for having writâ€" ten the greatest number of applicaâ€" tions of any agent in the city of Torâ€" onto during the month of March,. ; Mr Ernest MceGirr, B.
