Miss DICK’S summer millinery 0p- ening. held on Friday and Saturday of last week. was well attended by ladies interested in all the latest things in millinery. Contrary to our usual custom we shall not go in- to a description of the various things on exhibition. Our description at best is always vague and unsatisfac- tory, and we prefer to invite all with- in reach to examine the goods for themselves. THE increased indemnity vote came up Monday in the House of Commons and was carried with little opposi- tion. Sir Wilfred Laurier moved the resolution to increase the indemnity from $1000 to $1500. and justified the increase by the example of the Australian Commonwealth which granted 92000 a session. The advis- ability oi making such a change without submitting the question to the po-nplc, is a matter of grave douht on both sides of politics. but. the parliament is yomw yet. and before another appeal is made to the peeple the sin may be forgotten. our last issue owing to the presence of surveyors. engineers and Mr. Cow- ham. at actual work of preparation. Good progress has been made here and reports from outside points are highly gratifying. We prefer to give our readers a rest on the cem- ent question and say very little more than to assure them that everything is all right and the citizens are more than delighted with the prospects. Never was Durham in a more happy condition, than it is to-day and it’s all because of the cement mill. From the start we felt a deep interest in the industry, and now that the work ts practically begun we feel that. we have reached the climax of our am- bition. and settle down in content- ment to await developments.

A \VARNING was given last week to subscribers in town to call and settle up before their subscription accounts were put into other hands for collec- tion, which will be done after the first of June. It will be easier and cheaper to settle with us. and we ad- vise all to do so at the earliest pos- sible date. We do not wish to be hard on anyone who makes an effort. but we say positively we must have a settlement. Working for the good of our health only, has ceased to be a pleasure. THE Railroad Companies are giving special rates for the 24th of May. Some years ago these Companies made use of the newspapers {or advertis» ing their time tables and giving notice of special excursions. To give such information may be looked upon as news which the papers are suppos- ed to give for the benefit of their readers. but on the other hand it is Istraight advertising, and the line must be drawn somewhere, and big corporations have no more night to expect it than small local men. ONE of the best suggestions everl made by the newspapers of this coun-l try is that every farmers should dis- play his name at the front gate of his farm. It would be a matter of trifling expense and no particular trouble for every farmer in:the coun- try to have his name and number of his lot neatly painted on a small board to be nailed to the gate post nearest the concession line. and such boards would pr ve oi incalcglahle value to the public and to the farm- ers themselves and lend interest to many a stranger passing through.

A shocking accident occurred on Monday whereby the four-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Brown was burned so severely that she died the following day. The little girl was playing with some of the neighbor’s children who had started a fire in a field near the house and in helping to feed the fire her clothes came in contact with the flames. She ran screaming, towards the house. but che parents were out and a neighboring woman who heard 1 her extinguished the tire. The child. however, was so badly burned that. after lingering till the next day, happily unconscious, she died on Monday evening. The unhappy par- ents are distracted with grief at the sad occurrence. â€"â€"0. 8. Sun. . WE have just learned of a serious runaWay accident which happened to Mrs. Halliday. of Orchard, a few days ago while driving, near Mount Forest. It seems that the horse took fright and shied toaards the side 0! trhe road upsetting the vehicle. Mrs. Halliday having a baby in her arms tried to save the child and in so do- ing fell on her knee so as to remove the knee cap. We understand an ac- tion for damages is to be instituted against the Council. but we ate n0t informed as to what municipality. It is thought that Mrs. Halliday will never again have the full use of her leg.‘ A daughter, who was driving. had her face cut but the baby escaped uninjured. THE ordinary business man has about as hard arow to hoe as any. body on earth. says an exchange, and he has got to look pleasant and hang on to the hoe handle no matter whatI happens. If a pastor's salary is a little short, the business man must fix it. If John Jones losses a horse he must help get another. If some body meets with an accident or is burned out. the business man must chip in. If a celebration is going on he must dig up some more. If a beg. :ger comes alone be is the first man tackied. If he responds to every call he goes broke. If he refuses, he is counted a hog. Still some will send away from home for goods oc- oasionall y.

Durham, Ont, Thursday, May 23, 1901. Rev. Mr. Paterson. of Grand Vul- ley, was in town Monday. Mr. N. Cress, Photographer. came to town last week and is nowuloing business in Browne’s old stand. Mrs. (Rem) Smith left Saturday morning to visit her friends in the vicinity of Simcoe. Mr. Arthur Laidlaw is in the em. 5153! of Mr. W. F. Cowham. of the National Portland Cement Co. Miss Sims. teacher ht Vickers, was the guest of her friend. Miss Mar- garet McKen‘Aie, the latter part. of last week. Mnand Mrs. James B ulden, of Elmwood, spent from Saturday till Monday with friends in town and in the vicimty of Varuey. Mrs. John Cameron and her daugh- ter Belle have returned to town for the 9' Immer. They have been in To- ronto for some time. Messrs. Cowham and Beaugardis. Provident and Chief Engineer, respec- tively. of the Cement Co. were in town a couple of days this week. Pete Pringle, after an absence of several months in Dunville returned Mondav and has now resumed work with Browne the photographer. Mr. John Purvis, of Allan Park, walked to Berkeley last week, spent a couple of days there and returned Wednesday when he helped to turn off part of our last run of last issue. School Inspector, N. W. Campbell put in a day and a half last week makiti’g a thorough inapection of our academy here Contrary to old trad- itions the children in this Inspector- ate are always ready and anxious for a visit from the genial inspector. who does not exhibit in his person any of the bluebeard idiosyncrasies so feared in our early youth. Our inspector is i an inspiration to good work and a spur to youthlul ambition. Long may he flourish.â€"Advance. Auctioneers never lie only when it’s absolutely convenient. The Chronicle man never lies. He leaves that to the other fellow. Everybody wants the cement works in his own pig? field. A man must. have good hatching qualities when he can bring out a. batch of photos in three days. PeOple from a. small town are often laughed at by those living in a larg- er town. , ‘ Mayor Calder must be a good look- ing chap. We were mistaken for him several times. . It’s a new idea for a man to send his wife on a. visxt so that he can regale himself 611 green onions. We never look at. our money with- out wishing we had a cash register big enough to hold it. all. Instead of learning the manly art of boxing, our advice to most. people is to learn to run. It, would prevent manv a black eye. The fellows who sit around all summer on tar barrels and packing boxes will be the biggest bowlers about hard tunes when the weather gets cold. Some people want to get something for nothing. If this is a borrowed paper you are one of them. You can get. one of your own for the bal- ance of the year for half a. dollar. We never yet met the photOgraph- er who could tell us how many said they were afraid they’d break the machine if they “set” to get their pictures “ took.” A citizen last week was asked for a match. After fumbling through all his pockets he told his inquisitor he hadn’t any, but he could give him a piece of atring irthat would be any use to him.

DEATH came suddenly to Mr. Wm. ohnston, of' Clarksburg, on Thurs- day evening of last week. While apparently in his usual health, Mr. Johnston came down to the village to get his mail, but when he reached the post office he complained of not feeling well and sat down on the steps. His brother, Mr. Hugh John- ston. took him into the drug store, and medical aid was rendered him, but all to no avail, for in about ten minutes he breathed his last. Death was due to heart trouble. He was 74 years of age.â€"Clarksburg Reflec- tor.

He was poor and had no family con- nections, so a couple of members of a relief committee took charge of the remains and had them buried on Fri- day morning at 11 o'clock, in a rough box without notifying any of the authorities or having a clergyman to perform funeral rites. Considerable indignation was aroused by the man- ner in which the corpse had been dis- poseded of. and Mayor Mcii‘ay order- ed the body to be exhumed which was done on Saturday. The remains of the poor old man was given a decent burial on Sunday.â€"Post.
