(Our own correspondent.) During the past week weather con- ditions have been excellent, the warm, moist weather has advanced the meadows and pastures greatly, and. the young grain is making a good showing. Meetings will he held this week, on Friday, in the Methodist and Presbyterian Churches here, and also in the Swinton Park, Salem and - .Bethel Churches for the pnrpose of ; tryixg to form a local union of the ' “so denominations. ‘ .. ‘ The several persons who have been gs; ailing for more or less time are all rim nicely in health. . . DURHAM CHRONICLE gone the way Of all memory and name : gotten by the living. We remember when a big boy working for another old Scot in the county of York, and as soon as the last bite was done he would call to his men: “Be out, boys, for it looks like rain!” when probably there was not a cloud to be seen in the firmae ment. But. these old timers have gone the way or all flesh and their Next morning it was the sameâ€" breakfast at 4.30, but Donald by some mistake got up at that hour, and at 5 oclock the old would-be Christian had family worship and in his de- votions he thanked the Lord for bringing them to the light of anoth- er day. “Tut, tut!” said Donald, in- terrupting him, “Ye needna thank the Lord so soon, for it won’t be daylight for two hours yet.” So Don- ald was too much for the old Scot and put up with him fairly well in the future. We haven’t daylight saving here. and we are satisfied to abide by the old time. The change in time will be the means of getting up these long summer mornings at 4 o‘clock in- stead of 5, and the hired man may be setting up a complaint for getting him up so early and to be late all the same in the evening. An old Scot away down in some of the older townships years ago could not get‘ a hired man to stay with him only a few days. on account of being too hard on his men. One fellow called Sandy hired with old Rory and put in a couple of days, when he left. 01‘: his way to another farmer he met another young man, Donald. Sandy asked Donald where he was going. "I am going up to see old Rory. I heard he wanted a man.” “Well," said Sandy, “Ye needna go, for I am just coming from there.” “Well,” said Donald, “I’ll try him anyway.” Donald hired with old Scot. went to bed in good time and at 4 o’clock he heard pork frying and old Rory yell- toDonald to get up to breakfast. i “No.” said Donald, "'1 don’t care for * eating so late at. nicht.” and stayed ‘ in 1till daylight on a cold January 1 morning. ‘ w m,mudm Mr. Thomas Ferguson is busy fix- ing the graves in McNeaI’s cemetery. Miss Patterson, teacher at TOp Clifi‘, was obliged to lay off the most of last week from the efl‘e s of a bad cold, but we hOpe she will be able to resume her work again this week. Mr. Thomas Nichol has a large gang of men and teams working on the good roads east of Priceville. It’s an ill wind that doesn’t blow some- body good. The gravel road from Priceville to Durham is in pretty good order as it is, and it’s only like a luxury at an extravagant feast to have them torn to pieces by an un- necessary process which causes the county extra thousands, if not mil- lions, before they are completed. The Rev. Mr. Jones will: be going to the Presbyterian General Assembly held at Winnipeg the first week in June. Voting onunion between Metho- dists and Presbyterians will take place in the Presbyterian Church here next Sunday, the 28th inst., at the usual time in the forenoon. The sick peOpIe are getting better now. No doctor in Priceville now, so everybody must trust in the Great Doctor to keep them in. good health. We had an abundance of rain dur- ing the latter part of last week. (Our own correspondent.) Seldom in past years was such rapid growth at this season of the year as there is this May; orchards in full bloom, pasture fields good: and meadows give the promise of an abundant crop 0f bay in July. But there is many a slip ’twixt the cup and the lip. Sometimes we have seen heavy frosts about the 24th to the lst of June. Grain sown a few; weeks ago is covering the ground, the pasture fields are beautifully covered with dandelions. Priceville and South Thursday, may 25, 1922 r "“U 'V 5916C]!
