The car stolen f1 om Smiths Gar- age :1 xx eek ago Sundax morning xx as retuIned by a boy named Lang from Bentinck. near Dornoch. As intim- ated last week, his stories had too many variations and aroused sus- pisions which led to his arrest and subsequent inx1estigation'hef01‘e Po- lice Magistrates Creasor and Laid- law last Friday afternoon. Though Lang stuck to his innocence for a time. the tell-tale marks of a bicy- cle. on,the rear seat of the car forced him to wilt and acknowledge his guilt before the day of the trial. Lang is a young lad under sixteen years of age, but his record is none too good though of reSpectable par. ‘ents. The case Friday afternoon was tried in camera, When the lad was let off on suspended sentence, and for the next six months he. will have to report weekly to the police ma- gistrate.

He had no connec- tion with the paper, but to get it going rendered assistance in secur- ing the subscription list. He is a brother of Mrs. Gibson Collinson of Ceylon. with whom he is visiting for the past couple of weeks. He was accompanied here by Mrs. Col- linson and her two daughters, Mrs. Cairns and Miss Jean Collinson. and called on friends here and in Bent- inck. near Aberdeen. Mr. Miller is 87 years of age. and previous to his res- ignation a year or so ago, spent 40 years as a Justice of the Peace, of which time he was Police Magistrate for 25 years. He is still hale and hearty for a man of his years. Out. on Suspended Sentence. We congratulate Misses Gertrude tiole.

DURHAM, ONTARIO, CANADA, THURSDAY, JULY 20, 1922. “The Four Horsemen of the.Apoc- alypse,” shown here Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, was one of the best photoplays seen locally in :a long time. The theatre manageâ€" ment, however, were not greeted with very large houses, especially on the last night, and the probability is that they will be in the hole on the venture, The management have endeavored to give the public good pictures, but it is needless to say that if the attendance does not pick up it. may be found necessary to can- cel some of the big super pictures contracted to appear here in .the next few weeks. “The Four Horse- men” was worth seeing, and any who missed it denied themselves a big treat. Where They’re Going. Mr. A. T. McNeill, former principal of Woodstock College, and brother of Rev. John McNeill of Walmer Road Baptist Church, Toronto, preached in the Baptist Church here and at Glenelg on Sunday last, morn- ing and evening, to full houses on all occasions. His work was very much appreciated and the congre- gations will be again delighted to hear him on Sunday, July 30, when he will again take the services. The pastor here, Rev. Mr. Cameron, filled Dr. Somerby’s pulpit in Maitland Street, London, and will take the work again a week from Sunday. Mr. Cameron reports good services in London. - “The Four Horsemen” a Good Picture Mrs. Staples of Markdale, left on Thursday, July 13, on a trip to Van- couver to visit her son, George, who ‘is City Freight Agent there. On her way she will make brief stopovers at Toronto, Smith’s Falls, Port Arthur, Winnipeg and Regina. Grey Lodge 1.0.0.112 will hold a decoration. service on Sunday after- noon. July 30, when the members, visiting brethren and others will leave their hall at 2.30 p.m. and march to the cemetery when the graves of departed brethren will be decorated. In the cemetery, before and after the decoration, brief and appropriate services will be held. The public is cordially invited to at- tend. ' Preached in Baptist Church. While driving home from Durham last. Saturday night, Mr. Cecil Barber had the misfortune to be run into by an automobile, and completely wrecked, the horse running away, we are informed, and dragging Mr. Barber a considerable distance be- fore he extricated himself. We have no definite information, but are told that the car was driven by Mr. Chas. Drumm of Holstein. I.0.0.P. Decoration Day. The annual Sunday School picnic was held on Monday of last week at the heme of Mr. Ernest Roseborough, when a large number of pupils and their parents assembled and had a very enjoyable time. Games and amusements were in abundance, and refreshments enough and to spare. The Sunday SehOOI is in .1 very flourishing condition. Buggy Wrecked Near Varney.

In the evening a big con- cert is being put on in the Hall at which the Hender- son Kilties will furnish the program. Something out of the or- dinary this time Will be a “Baby Contest” for babies of 18 months and under, for which good prizes will be given. This should be an in- teresting part of the pro- ‘gram and create a lot of in- terest. The above is but‘a “once over” of the big day to be put onlhere on Civic Holiday and as the committees have not yet finished, it is more than likely that other at- tractions Will be secured. And last, but not least, it is expected that Premier Drury'will be present and address the gathering. Miss Agnes MacPhail, M.P. fOr South-East Grey has al- ready consented to be here and Will say a few-words to her constituents. One of the best features of the afternoon will be a “water contest” between the members of the local fire brigade. This consists of a full pressure ‘of water in each hose, and both teams, playing the water on each other will attempt to cross a given mark, as in the tug- of war, and the first team over the line wins. As the stream of water is capable of taking a man off his feet, ripping boards off a building or other like performance, it will easily be seen that the team that wins. will know it has been through something. With most of the arrange- ments already completed, it is safe to say that next Civic Holiday, the 7th of August, Will see one of the biggest crowds in Durham since the well-known Sons of Scotland celebration in years gone by. This year the celebration is being held under the auspi- ces of the Red Cross Society, and with a strong committee of both sexes on the job Who are leaving nothing undone to insure the success of the big day, failure is Well-nigh impossible. With good wea- ther, the celebration of Civic Holiday 1922, Will be one long to be remembered. Henderson’s Kiltie Band from London are coming, and, With Highlad Dancing, Will furnish part of the pro- gram. ' In the afternoon, the com- mittee are staging a Sports Day on the Agricultural grounds and besides the usu- al good line of athletic con- tests are pulling off a foot- ball match between Mark- dale and Holstein W. F. A. teams, a lacrosse match be- tween Elora and Durham 0. A.L.A., and a tug-ofâ€"war between teams from Glen- elg and Bentinck captained by Angus McArthur and Jack Grierson respectively. For the football and tug-of- war, silver trophy cups are to be awarded, and as these two cups are worth in the neighborhood of $75, they are worth competing for.
