McKechnie at 'l‘mc High School Department start- ed with an attendance of sixty-nine and they're not all here yet. How many towns the size of Durham with real high schools can show a better record, and it seems the time is not far distant when a high school will be looked upon as anecessity. The teach- are making a good record and the Board has no reason to regret the step taken in adding that department to our excellent Model and Public School.

STINSON had the misfortune last week to lose a valuable horse. VVe’ve not heard the cause of death. but we can’t imagine for a moment that it was on account of pulling the bread cart around town, as George always takes delight in pleasing his customers by giving them light, wholesome bread. A VERY interesting meeting was held at Mrs. David McCrie’s on Thurs- day, Sept. lst. The attendance was very good. “Poultry” being the topic it is needless to say that this important subject was ‘well discussed, as to feed- ing, fatening, dressing and cooking the fowl. Mrs. McCrie gave an excellent paper on “The Necessity of Cultivat- ing the Social Side of Life on the Farm.” The nextmeeting will be held at Mrs. Wm. Hunter’s near Dromore. The topic is "Pickling.” THE Hespeler Herald says: “There are two kind of girls, one leads a man heavenward and the other steers him up against a soda water fountain.” That may be the case down Hespeler way but up here there are only one kind and that is the girl who wants nothing more heavenly than to help her mother in the kitchen. She cares nothing for soda water, ice cream or the boys and is never so happy as when she is working hard or studying her Sunday school lessons. That is the kind of girls Durham is full of. THE Post Office at Edge Hill changed hands last Friday and is now kept in the home of Mr. Joseph Firth, right opposite the residence of Mr. James Edge, who held the position since it first started twenty-three years ago. Mr. Edgeis now over eighty years of age, and though he has retired from municipal life and other business, we hope he may be spared for many years to come. From a monetary stand- point the post office is not much value and were it not for the convenience it affords the neighborhood very few would care to bother with it. A GLENELG farmer tells a story of a man who was caught out in the woods during a storm. He didn’t want to get wet and the only dry place he could find was a hallow log, into which he managed to crawl. The rain lasted a couple of hOurs, when the fel- low decided that he had better be going home. He tried to extricate himself from the log, but the soft wood had swoollen and he couldn’t budge a peg. There alone in the ;desolate woods, many miles from the ‘ nearest habitation, the poor man lay for hours thinking of all the mean things he had done, when all at once it suddenly dawned upon him that he had read THE CHRONICLE three years 'without paying for it and then re- fused to take it out of the postoffice. It made him feel so small that he gcrawled out of the log without fur- i_ ther difficulty. THE School needs enlarging. The A QfIIET wedding took place in To- ronto at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. George Despond, 637 Lansdown Ave., on Thursday evening, September the 1st, when Miss Tilly Telford was united in Marriage to the man of her choice‘. Mr. Thomas Mengie, of Fenelon Falls. The bride was dressed in a brown voile over pink silk and was attended by her sister, Miss Mary MacKay, of Durham, while Mr. Wise, of Fenelon Falls, sup- ported the groom through the trying oxdeal. After the ceremony was over ,they all repaired to the dining room ; where a sumptuous dinner was served ', by Mrs. Despond. Only the immediate friends were present. The bride re- ‘ ceived many useful and costly presents. The young couple left the next morn- ing on a trip to Niagara Falls after which they will return to Toronto for a few days before they go to their home in Fenelon Falls. The bride’s travelling suit was blue with white silk‘ihlouse and white picture hat. G H. SHORTREED. Veterinary Dentist. is now at the Knapp House.

Hunter returned this week to attend McGill Medical College, Mon- treal. H. H. Miller, of Hanover, was on the grounds Labor Day and watched the sports with eager interest. In the cricket match only the Grits played, and it was particularly gratifying to him when the other fellows didn’t have an innings at all. On Sunday evening the Rev. Mr. Farquharson discussed the question “Is There a Hell ?” He held that it is not to be settled by a mere considera- tion of the goodness of God. Good people find some rather unpleasant things to be necessary and no people have yet attained that stage of good- ness that makes gaols and penitenti- aries and all their horridgaccompani- ments unnecessary. Nor is it swept away when some misconceptions re- garding its character are removed. LThe devil may no longer flourish his horns and hoofs, but so long as there . son to believe in a devil. So long as there is sin on the one hand and beings of moral purity on the other there must be the indignation, the fire that forms the essence of hell, as the poet puts it after viewing the hollow sham of society ‘ ‘ There may be heaven There must be hell. As to the representations of hell in the Bible and history he traced the growth of the teaching, from the de- filed valley of the Son of Hinnom, whose refuse the fire never ceased con- suming or the worm from devouring to the hell of the New Testament. In the middle ages a gruesome vision was presented of physical torture and Moloch-like crueltyâ€"which distorted allnature making the color in the robin due to its scorching in taking a drop of water to nnlmptized infants, and tracing the brightness of the evening seen to the fact that there it looks di- rectly into the flames of hell. After quoting a tract for children by Furnis and the teaching of Jeremy Taylor . and others the speaker concluded that we never view either heaven or hell ari'ght till the moral and spiritual are seen to overtop the mere material. Gold and pearls do not make heaven no more do fire and worms make hell. If the favor of God is life and His love makes heaven than the want of these with all that follows makes hell. Mr. Farquharson is to give a. short series of evening discourses under the general head of “The Pillars of Archâ€" ltecture.’ ’ THE Middaugh House Stable is now ready for use, and will be run in con- nection with the House and not as a livery.â€"4. soy Heifer (Baâ€"If: {Jain Jessie A.F.
