BUSH FIRE CAUSES BXCITEHBNT Last Thursday night a report was current through the town that somehody's barn up north. and ap- parently quite close by. was on fire. and some of the local motorists set out to see where the trouble was. T hey had not long to look. but in- stead of a barn going up in smoke the blaze proved to be a brush fire on the property of Mr. J. Grasby on on the Aberdeen sideroad. and came from some balsam trees he had felled in order to clear up a‘ piece of land he intends putting to crop. Besides some town folk, there were also a number of the surrounding farmers. who. being ignorant as to the cause of the reflection in the sky. lost no time in getting to the SC 9119. ”\VI‘IN I).

The late Mrs. Matthews, whuse‘ maiden name was Margaret Mor- rison, was born in County Manag- han. Ireland, on the 16th of June, 1842, and was therefore In her filth year.

Mr. and Mrs. Matthews were both highly esteem- ed residents of the. township. were widely known in this part of the country, and since their residence in Durham, enjoyed the same re- spert from the town citizens as t'er their former neighbors in lig- remont.

There was very little doing at the regular meeting of the 'lown Council last Monday night and as consequence the sitting “as short and no business of mueh im- portance was done. The first his item on the docket was the [hassling of the usual monthly aeeounts which this time amounted to $1129.68 In this hill were those from the Dunlop lluhher Company for new hose, the (re ism bill for the street oil and the wnges ot the men engaged in putting the “Hill- way infisliape for receiving the oil. _ The Treasurer's report showed that on the 30th of June there was a balance on hand of over “.700. which caused Mayor Murdock to re- mark that in the sevenal years he had spent in the Council. this was the largest balance especially at this season of the year of which he had any rectulection. As the Council this year had had several large re- pair hills thrust on them for which they were in no wise responsihle. it must. he regarded as a favorable omen and indicative of good lous- iness administmtion on the part of the tlouncil. The pxtra work tn- t'luded the building ot' the retaining wall at the Methodist. church. the repair of the tlarat'raxa street. bridge, and the recent installation of tile as well as the lalmt‘ "milked in putting the town drains in work- ing condition.
