He has secured the agency for Durham and vicinity, and the engine will be on exhibition at the fair here next week. No more free locals will be giv- en. Correspondents Will please bear this in mind also, and do not be disappointed if anything of that nature should be cut out. Most institutions are as well able to pay for advertising as the local papers are to publish it for noth- ing. il l Mr. Art. Hunt sold his farm at Vickera to Mr. E. Roaeborough, of Owen Sound. The advertisement appeared only twice in The Chronicle, when buyer and seller were brought together and the deal was completed. Art. is now satisfied that it pays to advertise in The Chronicle. 0! course, all sales are not made in so short a time. The Directors of the Agricultural Society are putting up a strong plea to make the Fair next week a financial success. It is to be knnofl fhnf a sunreme Effort Will a financial success. It is to be hoped that a supreme effort will make this year’s fair the best yet held. It comes Only once a year. Let the exhibits be larger, and the attendance a record breaker. We notice that one of our cor- respondents would like to know why the weeds are not cut inside the corporation. We are unable to give much information in the mat- ter. Durham is not an easy town to keep in good shape anyway, but the judicious expenditure of a little money would make a great improvement. 'We know the streets are not what they ought to be, and cannot stand up in tus- tification of their shaggy appear- ance. regarding the new post-office site. It was a great mistake to ever allow the question to be reopened for another squabble. A. motion was made in Toronto on Thursday last, before Mr. Just- ice Middleton, by members of the Ancient Order of United Workmen asking that the Grand Lodge of the order be restrained by a court injunction from giving effect to the proposed change in the con- stitution providing for an upward readjustment of the rates. The officers to file affadavits in reply to those of the dissatisfied mem- bers. “Keep your temper†was a pithy piece of advice given by Dr. Farquharson at the Baptist anniversary. This is easier said than done, and often the man of good resolutions will be caught unawares and fly off without thinking. The advice is good, and constant watchfulness over himself will give the most im-‘ petuous a degree of control over an evil temper. The person who little short of a fool The telephone men have been improving things of late. Some of the old poles have been taken down and replaced by better ones. The collecting and cabling of the wires along Garafraxa street is a decided improvement. The new office is now equipped with a more modern switchboard, and better protection from accident is afforded the operator at the cent- ral, as well as all other users of the line. Later on, the rural us- ers who have signed to take phones will be supplied. This will bring town and country into near- er relationship. We have an all- night service now, and can rejoice' in the thought of getting more for our money. Mr. Terry Finnegan had a nar- row escape from death a few days ago. While crossing a soft marshy spot near McKechnies’ grist-mill, a little south of the dam, a board on which he step- fped slipped from under his feet and the old gentleman was thrown ,headlong into the slough. He was unable to help himself out and be- ing submerged with the excep- tion of his head and one shoulder, things didn’t look very bright, and the feeble old man must have seen some strange visions. Nat. Harvey, who was not far away, heard him moaning, went to his rescue, dragged him out and thus _ saved him from what otherwise would have been a premature ’ death. Though still indisposed, he is recovering from the effects of his muddy bath. The old man is .«getting quite feeble and a short ' struggle would have ended his earthly career. DURHAM. ONT" THURSDAY September 19, 1912. as follows: Charlie Lewis was .taken up for ing drunk, and ac- 'cording to the law nowadays, any iperson found drunk .in a local option municipality must tell the ,truth about where he got the ;booze. :Charlie said he got it :from Alf. Taylor, who swore that Lewis did not give him any money but that he was treated from his own bottle. Herbert Taylor, Ali‘s lbrother, who, it :appears, was present on all occasions, corrobor- . ated his story, but Lewis testified that he first gave him $1.50, then $1.00, to go and buy the whiskey for him. The Lewis story was ac- cepted by the magistrate, and No word has yet come to hand In a recent issue of the Owen Sound Sun, an account is given of one Alf. Taylor being fined fiitv dollars and costs for buying two bottles of whiskey from a person not entitled to sell. The story is Alf. was fined as above stated. Un- der such legal conditions it seems that some of our town :drunks would have hard squirming to clear themselves, if the law were strictly enforced. From the case ’just cited it appears to be a punishable violation of the law in a local option municipality for one man to give another man money to buy whiskey for him. We un- derstand. the express companies refuse to carry intoxicants C.0.D., and the collecting of such an ac- count makes the agent a vendor without a license. soft; Rev. Mr. Farquharson, on being nies’ called to the platform expressed the his regret that circumstances un- tep- der which he and his congrega- teet tion had no control, caused a own meeting in the Presbyterian church was to clash with the anniversary ser- , be- ,vices in the Baptist church. He, cep- itoo, tendered his congratulations. The annual anniversary services 6of the Durham Baptist church IWere held on Sunday and Monday. On Sunday morning and evening l excellent sermons were preached by ‘Chancellor McCrimmon, of Mc- Master University, .a clever scholar, a good sermonizer, and one of Canada’s able preachers. The choir was in good form, and â€excelled themselves in the selec- tion rendered. Mr. Albert Pegue- 'gnat, a cultured vocalist from Stratiord, was present on the oc- gcasion, and added much to the services by his splendid rendering 'of a number of much appreciated classical solos. l On 'Monday evening, a tea- meeting was held in the church, after which the fair sized aueidnce was treated to a fine literary and gave an excellent address, con- taining a great deal of informa- tion of a most inspiring charac- ter to every member of the audi- ence. and particularly to members of the Baptist congregation. Mr. Miller is a good fluent speaker, with the happy faculty of com- bining sense and humor. so inter- mingled that his hearers nee-d not become weary. Rev. Mr. Hartley congratulated 'the congregation on their success and wished them to ehjoy always an equal or larger measure of prosperity. A very interesting address of a congratulatory nature was deliv- ered by Rev. Mr. Prudham. the new 'pastor of the Methodist church. He too, believes evidently in mixing up a little humor with his heavier thoughts, and in this way keeping his audience in a more attentive mood. He made some reference to Japan, where he labored for some years as a mis- sionary, and promised to say more at some future 'time. Baptist Anniversary Services I The proceeds were advertised to lbe in aid of the .building fund, and we are pleased to learn that the congregation has the debt pretty 'Well cornered. To build such a ;fine church seemed like a heavy 'task for what was regarded as a !weak congregation, but they have .evidently been {pulling together 'and we hope soon to hear of the Emortgage being burned. ‘ We iheartily congratulate them on {their perseverance and pluck. During the evening, the choir rendered a number of selections, which were supplemented by an appropriate quartette. In the musical line it must not be forgot- ten that Mr. Peguegnat was the musical star of the evening, and was so much appreciated that he was forced on every occasion to respond to the encores. His sel- ections were all high-class. INTERNATIONAL LESSONS TO DISAPPEAR Canadian Presbyterians and Methodists are preparing to throw out the International Sunday School Lessons. It is declared to trations invariably drawn from United States history, Washington and similar personages. In dealing with the “Internation- al†lesson, the boards will not wait for the federation to receive its formal rï¬ification, but the two executives will get together and adopt plans for a National Canadian Sunday School Lesson, to be prepared jointly and issued in the Presbyterian and Methodist publications for use in their Sun- day Schools throughout the Dominion.
