Iii DURHAM BHRUNICLE‘ The moon is shining in its bril- liancy this Monday nigh-t‘ October 17th, 1910. The day was real warm and as we were picking potatoes all day, we are not sure whether we took the scent of mother earth of! our fingers or not. We would advise anyone whose digestive organs 1are out of order to go to the potato field for a day or two. and their appetite is sure to return to them by the refreshing odor of the soil, and the longing desire to get some of the fine tubers cooked for the evening meal. Although harder work, it‘s far healthier than to be stuck be- hind a printing machine, or even in the editorial sanctum grinding out local happenings. 'l‘he beauties of nature are fad-. lng away, for we see the leaves a- round us falling, dry and withered - to the ground. In giving a back- yard look to the days of our youth, it reminds us how swiftly; the current of time is passing by. Those of us who have crossed the ' meridian of life can be compared to the passing of the seasons, for: the summer time of our days have ’ ‘passed away, and now we are fast approaching the hoary age of winter’s storms. We go to the woods, and we see some 0.! the tallest trees yet covered "With their summer garments, by hav- ing their leaves green, while the young sapling is cOmpletelystrip- d or its foliage. So it is with he human being. Some of the aged are ’hardier and healthier than perhaps their grandchildren, for the simple reason that they. had to earn their bread by the sweat of their brow, and {are not A tew '0! our young girls in- tend to leave for Toronto on the Morning train to spend the winter in that fine city.

Ramage and Geo. Lot'h- ha, of Dromore. attended service in the Presbyterian church Sunday night. Mr. Ramage sang a fine .010 in ’his usual good style. Threshing is a thing 0.! the ast now. Grain turned out well. essrs. Arch. McCuaig and Abra- ham Hooper, of Top Cliff, had three days each at the blower, Temporary granaries had to be erected to hold the surplus grain at A.

Peter McArthur erected a fine monument to the memory 0.! his father, the late John MeArthur._ Fall wheat is yielding well. D. Nichol had 160 bushels off (our acres, while Abraham Hooper had 16 big loads on six acres, and yiglded accordjngly. .' Our young doétér, Dr. Lane, is getting along well, and is kept busy, sometimm day and night. Mr. Wm. Reilly. of flapeville, at- tended church here on Sunday last. We are pleased to hear that he is doing well in the More bus- iness in Hopevillo. Inspector Campbell was on duty in the neighboring schools during the past week, and sends in good reports in most cases. while he thinks there is room for improve- ment yet. It is too bad when a section gets a good. smart young boy to teach or fill a vacancy, that he is not allowed to be en- gaged lor the coming year, on ac- count of not being fully qualified in all the requirements of the ochool law. The Methodists are to be con- gratulated Ibo-night for the bean- tiful weather for their fowl sup- per. at Salem. A few from here are in attendance.
