IHE DURHAM CHRONICLE TRAVERSTON. Your scribe of Edge Hill and the scribbler of these lines audited the township accounts last Week as kept by Treasurer, D. Edge, and found them “correct to a cent," and most neatly kept. Mr. Edge is a very populan‘ official and a trusty one to boot. We very much enjoyed Mm. Geo. Lamb’s sketch of his life. He was ever a progressive, tidy farmer, a faithful municipal official and a good neighbor. Pleased to learn his health has improved. Trhe editor’s review of the month’s happenings and the daily recard of the weather made most interesting reading and helped to recall very vividly some of the in- cidents that took place. Keep it up. W'. L. Falking‘ham has sold the “Ross Farm” on the 8th concession to Albert McNally, the price'being about $2000. Albert has also pur- chased a fine 6-year-old horse from W. Paylor for $220. The officials of the Methodist Church are taking a vote on “Church Union” this Week. We predict Uhat'oaver eighty per cent. will favor it.
