Through the interest of next year.. PDrough PI€C I1ILECLESL U the 1.O.D.E. in past years Timmins has been favoured with Chautauquas. For various reasons the Daughters of P Oor the ter For various reasons the Uaugnters oL the Empire did not take up the matâ€" ter this year, and so Timmins had. no â€" Chautauqua. Iroquois _ Falls, Cochrane, New Liskeard and other North Land towns had contracted for the event this year and reports are to the effect that the entertainments this vear are specially good. Despite the difficulties at Cochrane due to the serious fever epidemic this year, the Chautauqua was successfully conâ€" ducted, being even successful from the financial viewpoint. The Chauâ€" taugua books contracts practically a year ahead, and so the representatives here last week were particularly anxâ€" ious to secure a definite answer in regard to Timmins for next year. In view of this being the holiday season, the Daughters of the Empire could not well make a definite decision as they will not have another regular meeting until September. It is posâ€" stbhle that the LO.D.E. will again take up the presentation of a Chautaugqua here, but in the meantime‘ a conferâ€" ence was held with some of the busiâ€" ness and professional men. of Town with a view to assuring the Chautaugqua for Timmmins next year. [t was felt that the Chautaugua ofâ€" fers a very attractive and high class form of entertainment at a very low price and that Timmins should not pass up the opportunity to secure this series of entertainments. Howâ€" ever, the majority of those consulted felt that the Daughters of the Emâ€" pire should have the first chance at the work, in view of their successful handling in past years. Accordingly, no definite action will be taken until after September when the 1.O0.D.E. will ‘hold a meeting and decide upon the matter. If the 1.O.D.E. does not take up ‘the Chautauqua for next vear it is n»rohable that the event ept cOousIns 0o up ‘L year, it is will be ‘bro Ma C spe =OH Murray and of the decea Interment s Cemetery. probabl zht here roquois â€"â€" Falls, eard and other 1 contracted for ind reports are s Din artGTAGULAR FNDINGS IN TGWNSHIP OF McNHLL Much Staking Now in Progress.

Last winter, as the result of a fall he sustained a fractured arm, and from the time of. this accident he was practically unable to follow his calling. He dleft some ‘time ago for Toronto where he ‘had previously made his homeé. The late Gus Nauâ€" man was a musician of outstanding ability.

The loss of this horse will be much regretted, the horse not only being valuable for its usefulness, but also being a regular pet, with all sorts of intelligence â€" and cleverness and many amusing tricks, The horse was so highly domesticated that it diked to follow any members of the family around after the fashion of a dog, and even on occasion it would make playful attempts to enter the house.
