After the program a pleasant hour or two was spent in various One of Mixed Train Service Beginning on Monday next, May 2nd. the C. N. R. will inaugurate a mixed train service on its noon train in and afternoon out. These trains have always been strictly passenger trains. but henceforth they will com- bine both passenger and freight. The morning train will leave Palmerston at l0.50 as usual but instead of ar- riving here at 11.50 it will stop at Mt. Forest and Holstein for longer periods unloading and switching freight cars and is not due to reach Durham until 12.30 noon. The after- noon train will leave here at 2.35 instead of 3.15, forty minutes sooner. reach Palmerston at 4.00 as at pres- ent. There will be no change m time ot early morning train out or night train in. both ot which are drawn by the Diessel engine. The inauguration of the mixed on this llne means there will be no engine (except the [lease] on the tracks) in Durham yards overnight. as the only steam engine In. pullan the mixed. will leave a couple ol hours later. The chnnge will mean a great deal to the C. N. R. in economy of opera- tion, is with numerous motor cars. their passenger traffic fails on con- siderably during the summermont‘ns and fewer trains reduce operating costs. The new schedule will notbe so pleasing to the runway truvelling public and will also delay the noon mail about an hour, but with 1lseir volume of freight and passenger unf- tic reduced by motor competition. such a move mutt be expected and accepted.

N. ll. ha, tttthehe, Peacefuhy Passed Away It was with surprise and sorrow the news came on Sunday evening last, that John McKechnie had pas- sed away. It was known that he was not well, but few had expected that the end was so near. Rather it was expected that the return ot Spring wenther would restore him to use fatness once more, but It was not to be. He passed away calmly, the mm chinery of life worn out apparently, leaving as chief mourners his wife, son John and daughter Mary. Anoth. er who mourns is his brother Gilbert who, though older, its yet in fair hunk. Deceased was born " Campbeltou. Scotland. in 1848. He was the young- est or tive children, who with their parents came to Canada in the year 1856. These children were Mary, who married John Smith, uncle of our postmaster. Margaret, who was for many years a mlliiner; Neil, who died about 20 years ago; Gilbert, who is still with us and John, now cc. parted. All were intelligent and John, while still in his 'teens.taught school for a few years. Gilbert had a. training in the Post Ottiee with one McNab. and at last the three brothers and sister Margaret formed a partnership, long well known in early Durham and up to this century as "N., G. & J. McKechnie." Their business grew, they acquit- ed considerable property in town and near it, and their name was always good. Later. they branched out and built a grist mill, which they ran lor 40 years, then saw mills were built at Durham and Glenroaden, a. sash and door factory followed and for a while a creamery was set going.. In all these activities John found his place " book keeper tor the man and many will yet remember seeing him lugging his books home at night. His was an arduous task but he performed it well. After Neil's death, interest in the outside work Maekened, the Creamery was given up, so were the sawmhxa'. The grlst mill was kept going for a- while but later it and the factory were disposed of and attention cen- tered on the well known store. THE Meanwhile some 27 years ago, John married Miss Nettie Campbell, daugh- ter ot the well known Duncan Camp- bell, for many years clerk of Ben- tinck and Hanover, and as we nave said, a son and daughter blessed Cur. union. The firm name after Neil's death‘ was shortened to "G. & J. McKech-i nie, and so continued till about ttine', years ago when the brothers madea, division ot the property, Gilbert rc-i tiring, and John continuing the store under his own name, and thus it will still stand ‘John Mekeehnie.' Deceased was an intelligent man) supported the Presbyterian Church} and was strongly Liberal in politics; In 1905 he contested the Riding with) Dr Jamieson. but was defeated. For a. number of years he sat in the Council. and while still keeping to his Globe and well in touch wish current events, he has for a number of years retired from the public eye.' The funeral on Tuesday was laug- ely attended by Durham citizens, men and women. Rev, Armstrong in; unavoidable absence of Rev. W. u.; Smith, conducted a beautiful service; speaking from the text "So teach us: to number our dnys tbtt we mar ap-I ply our hearts unto wisdom." l. Interment took place to Durham cemetery, the pull bearers being J. J. Smith, John McGowan. Amhew Derby, Samuel MeComb, John Snell. C. Range. " LATE JOHN McKECHNlE (Prom photo taken in 1904.)
