The Cement Bosses are on the Still Hunt and Stockholders Must Stand By Their Guns. The Mud Chemist at the Cement i Works, Mr. Stephen Ludlow, has been ; saying naughty things about the edi- |' tor of this paper “He wonders if the “ tack headed editor” will soon be run . down, and be otherwise intensified his. 3 vindictive feelings by calling us a damn liar and other choice names, of which he carries a complete stock. We wish to inform our readers that the back rooms and hotel corridors are the chief resorts where he indulges in his favorite pastime, but he has never condescended to favor us with a volley of his wisdom. Tho tack headed edi- tor takes this opportunity to inform Air. Ludlow that he is not run down ‘ yet; also that he wears a 7} hat, .which he firmly helieVes would give :ample room for the chemist’s cocoa- ! nut, and leave “Rooms to Let” for the f man of distilled wisdom. Blackguard- 1 ism and low profanity are never going «, i to win support, and if Mr. Ludlow had ' exercised good common sense he. would have known better than to play any such game in the. toWn of Durham or» for miles around. A few evenings ago, 3. however, the mud chemist was “pre-; cipitating" some of his “ distilled ”g 'wisdom when suddenly there was a? collision. Stephen wasn’t stoned, but he llew to pieces like a hunch of gmatches struck by lightening. H: ,i went to the dry dock for repairs, and E as soon as his chemical mind got into 'shape he tried a few chemical. equa- tions to ascertain whether the result of the experiment- should be regarded _ as a chemical compound or a mechani- ' ’ cal mixture. The heat generated by ' the experiment seemed to indicate a ’chemical union of some kind, but as . i Ludlow was found on both sides of the equation he concluded the. experiment was a failure and the result was a .â€" .- __-__â€"â€"_.___-â€"â€"â€"â€"__â€". i l I l l [HE 1‘9 LYING IN AMBUSH ! v A few days ago we met Mr. Andrew Denholm, of Blenheim, a. stockholder of the Ontario Portland Cement Com- pany at Blue Lake, near Brantford. The mill there was capitalized at half a. million dollars and the promoters’ slice was worse than it was in the case of our mill here where 25% was taken for promotion fees. The mill in ques- tion has only three rotaries, and has been in operation only a little better vvvâ€" -__ ‘ 7 than one season. Mr. Denholm put on a broad smile when he pulled'out a seventy dollar cheque which repres- ented a 7% dividend on the stock he holds in the Company. “There’s money in it” says Mr. Denholm, if the business is managed properly and he felt surprised that we should have gone in the hole with the best equip- ped marl mill on the continent. Since ‘ then we have learned that the Ontario mill made a profit of $71, but decided to pay only 7 ‘X, dividend to stockhold‘ mechanical mixture. DURHAM, 0NT., THURSDAY. DECEMBEBM 1905.

It is supposed the fire ignited from the furnace. Loss $8,000, insurance $7,000. C. L. GRANT bought from Mr. A Watson a turkey one and one-half years old which weighed 284; lbs. He sold it to a. Montreal buyer for $4.25. A few like these are the kind that count up. THERE was a School Concert and Pie Social in Hutton Hill School on Friday night last. \Ve learn that the building was packed to overflowing, and that bidding ran high. The pro- ceeds amounted to: something in the neighborhood of fifty-eight dollars. THE Evangelistic Services in the Methodist Church which have proved a great blessing to those attending will be continued each evening except Thursday and Saturday. On Sabbath next Evangelist Minnis will deliver his farewell discourses to the congreg- ation. No on; so far has come out openly ' as a candidate for the inayoralty. \Ve ‘ believe, however, that Mayor l-Innterl will stand for re-election, and his care- l ful record of the past two years place ‘ him in a good position for re election. During his term of office he has shown a watchfulness over town affairs by which we have steered clear of litiga- tion, and this alone is worthy of com- mendation. There is a probability that a sufficient number will be in the field when the nominations are being made Friday night, and next week we maybe able to give particulars regard- ing the municipal aspirants. So far everything is quiet, the name of Mr. gCalder as a candidate for the Mayor- i alty being the only one mensioned.
