Death occurred on the 2nd of Febru- ary just a few weeks after he removed with his parents from l-Iepw'orth Sta- tion. Mrs. McMeeken inforins us that the neighbors were very kind, and that beautiful wreaths and hoquets were placed on the casket as tokens of respect. Pneumonia was the cause M" the boy’s death, which relieved him of his pain after three days’ illness. MR. AND Mus. tum. HEJRY, of Drmnure were. in town Monday, for the first time in several months. Mr. Henry gave us a call and paid his suh.

' ON Saturday afternoon, a. very serious accident was happily averted. In the home of Mr. Emery Dean, two little children, a boy about seven, and a little girl about five, were left alone in the house. Mr. Dean is a widower, and was engaged at work at the sta- tion, and the oldest daughter, a young girl we imagine of twelve or thirteen -A. I". 7 years of age, was out a few minutes at the skating rink. During her absence the fire got low, and the little folks tried to start it up. In doing so, the; boy used the coal oil can. which caught fire and exploded in his hands, the top being blown completely off the can. The little fellows hair and cloth- es were singed. and the oil ignited the floor, which quickly assumed a very threatening appearance. A gentle- man paSSing the house heard the ex¢ plosion. saw the children rush out, and smoke issuing from the door. [ Fortunately. however. the flames were irapidly extinguished with very little loss. The children were more fright- iened than injured. we are pleased to say. and we think it will be some time hefure they again resort to a coal oil can to start up a fire.

A11dito1sRep01,t and the dis- cussion theref: 0111. Durham Furniture Co. ‘Ve always feel an interest in this industry. regarding it as the first enterprise that really woke 11p the town, after 1t lay for a quarter of a century or more in a state of lethargy Before the building of the Durham 11 urnitui Factory about five or six years ago, the town seemed flooded with idle men and idle boy s. Work in the factory gave them employment and though the\ wages paid during the first )ear or so wele not very high,‘ the hahitsof th1ift and industry i11- lculcated into our boy were of 111(1 11- culahle benefit. Other industries followed in fairly quick succession. as every citizen knows, and today, the person who 15 constantly idle, is idle from choice, rather than from necessi- ty. The grvater part of each year, there is work enough for all, and there’s little or no necessity for the “hard times” cry. The books of the company were carefully audited, we are told, by, Messrs. McIntosh and Koch, two gen- tlemen residents of the town, both graduates of Commercial Colleges, and both teachers at one time in Commercial Schools. At the meeting on Friday night Mr. Mclntosh vas present, and the ready, clear way in which he answered all questions, gave evidence of his thorough grasp of the year’s work. Mr. Calder, who claimed to he one of the largest, if not the largest stock holder, started in as though he intend- ed to find some fault, and to do some kicking, but the Directors and Audit- ors were able to meet him at every turn, and we think the explanations given were satisfactory to all, even including Mr. Calder himself. Mr. Laidlaw was there, too, and ail-ml himself :leut the repayment of the town loam. 'l‘hvfact of there be- ing very little appreciation being shown his remarks. ought to satisfy an ordinary individual that he wasn’t popular in his oration. \Ve are told that Mr. Luidlaw has not a dollar’s worth of stock in the company, and if this be true, he had no right to be present at the meeting, much less right to take part in the discussion. \Ve are not going to say, whether or not, we differ from the views he ex- pressed. but we deny the right of an outsider to interfere in nmtters of corporations where they don’t helonu'. The nweting was nicely conducted, and everything missed off with- out friction. Theie was a slight, hitch, however, when it came to the election of officers, hut, in time this difficulty was set aside, by the voluntary resig- nation of Mr. A. \V. 11. Lauder, to make room for .Mr. Wilder, who was apparently anxious to he on the Board. The remaining members of the Board are the same as last year, viz.; Dr. Jamieson, N. McIntyre, J. W. Crawford, Geo. Spat-ling. These, with Mr. Calder, constitute the pres- ent Directorate. \Vith a few items from the Auditor’s Report, we must conclude. The total assets of the company, in- cluding factory. machinery, tools, real estate, lot, personal accounts payahle, unpaid stock, and cash in bank, is shown to be 364018.64. The liabilities, including loan from town, interest on loan, personal ac- counts payable, bills and notes pay- able, and bank accommodation come to W58. The difference between assets and liabilities shows the balance to share holders. which amounts to 333413.06. The Inventory shows on hand Manufactured goods, 815480.50. Factory sundries, 819946.55. Total 835426.85. The total sales of furniture during the year was 350194.82. The net profit for the year, $3138.34. WE have been asked if it is allow- able in this country to have insults thrown at you as you go along the street. In answer, we may say that think that common sense would con- demn the practice as objectionable. The persons charged are only children and in that case we recommend a good spanking as a preventive.
