Thou shalt not ride a bicycle on any sidewalk inside the corporation of the Town of Durham, is one of the many commandments that is violated frequently. It must be ad- mitted that a clear sidewalk is a temptation to a boy to violate the law and, especially, when the streets are bad as they are at pres- ent. Nevertheless, the by-law says "thou shalt not," and he who dares to do otherwise is placing himself in a fair way to be punished. Two of our town boys learned this lesson a few days ago. The town constable caught them in the act and imme- diatqu laid an information. Without loss of time he boys appeared before "the magistrate and settled their bills of a dollar and costs, five dollars in all. Rob Ray Grain P'ices. at least, delay .in transmission. The «‘lill‘iculties of sorting and putting through the cancellation machines is a further cause of delay, and there is also danger of small cards or en- veloiws falling out and going astray. Custom Chapping. Bicyclists Beware! It is the intention of the Men’s: Bible Class to close the season‘s work next Sunday. In this connec- tion we may say that Rev. Mr. Smith, who had charge of the work, must have spent a great deal of time and energy in collecting the information he has given at the dif- ferent meetings. The subjects have been exceedingly varied and every one interesting. instructive and as a rule practicable. While a certain number made it a point to attend regularly and the attendance was good on some occasions it is to be regretted the attendance was not larger on,all occasions. There was nething dry or uninteresting in any of Mr. Smith’s subjects and we are sure that no person could listen to the clear presentation of his themes without being benefited thereby. He intends to speak on the Housing rill-able!!! nut Sunday and to most of Men’s Class Closes Sunday. us this has been a live tepic. yet we’ll venture to say that Mr. Smith will introduce new phases that have hitherto been unthought of to most of us. 111th we undertook to give our readers a synopsis of each sub- “ dealt witli, our reports -were NEWS AROUND TOWN THE and ‘fell far short of LUIS 1658011 :1 The Methodist lie-opening Services. )le constable The re-Opening of the Methodist wt and immt“ Church as announced last week, ition.

This was the decision handed out at a police court case on Monday on airing a dispute that arose between two up-town neighbors over a little roll of chicken wire. George Greenâ€" wood and Fred Wright are next- door neighbors, each living in part of the same house and having back yards with only an imaginary line between. Both have a common right to use the same pump. For some time it appears the two families have not been living on the most am- icable terms. On- the 31st of March, Mr. Wright saw a small roll oi chicken wire in Greenwood’s yard. He said he thought it looked like some he had in his stable about Christmas, but hasn’t seen it since. He now claims the wire has disap- peared. He inquired of Greenwood Where he got his and was told he bought it down town, but didn’t give the name of the person he bought it from till he voluntarily gave the in- formation .in the court on Monday. In a discussion of the matter in the back yard it seemed that Wright called Greenwood by a name that he resented and at the same time conâ€" strued Wright’s remarks to mean that he (Greenwood) had taken the wire frOm Wright’s stable. Inforâ€" mation was 'laid by Greenwood against Wright for using obscene and offensive language, but what the ex: act word used was it must have been difficult for the court to decide, the plaintifi‘ charging him with using “scurf, ” while the defendant, wright admits having used the word “scum.” In summing up the evi- dence the magistrate pointed out that Greenwood had a right, if he wished to refuse information con- cerning the name of the person from whom he bought the wire, and after. giving a fatherly lature to both as “to the advisability of living in. more Leave your order for cement and save money by taking 'ofi' car.â€" Cross Sutherland. .

Sumner, who died on March 30 at her home at 39 Metcalfe Street, after a pro- longed illness from paralysis. She was about 50 years. of age and will be remembered by some of the older residents, as she attended school here when a girl. Besides her hus- band she leaves two sons, 17 and 13 years of age. Another son was drowned in Toronto Bay about ten or twelve years ago. Albert Kress is experimenting on a wireless telephone, or as he calls it. a radiophone. Albert is a son of Mr. and .‘Mrs. Edward Kress, a stu- dent at the High School, interested in the study of various sound convey- ors,_ and evidently with an inventive turn of mind. He is applying prin- ciples he has read and his contrivâ€" mice" is so far advanced that he test- ed it out a few evenings ago but without desired results. One part of the mechanism he has been unable to procure, but thinks when he gets this he will meet with success. By the mechanism he hopes to be able to hear musical and other sounds from Toronto and other places even at a greater distance. We wish our young town, boy success in his work. Peed Oats For Sale.
