The following from the Durham Chron- icle of last week is too funny to let slip thr.mgh without publication in this iudueiitial and widely read journal. As a specimen of sugarly sour grapes it discounts anythini; we have road. Here is the item in its entirety : For one thinu ive may say Durham gives employnieiit to every one of her population that wants it, and it's steady, loo. We have no time iu this haudet to go to the station at 9.30 a. m. and wait for the 3.15 p. m. train. Neithei hive we time to tear oH to Markdala or any other phico to 2x4 hockey exhibitions. For another thing, when tho Ladytown club gets a challonije from this place to come over and play, we'll pay for all the music and endeavor to show thcin as good a time as tlie place affoids. Wo haven't any prizes or trophies to play for, and when an outside team comes in here we simply pay all expen.ses and let it go at thiit. All ordinary ulass or tin cup is i?ood enough fur our uiudes' citizens to drii.k out of, and we're to.> busy to ap- preciate tho va'no of a silver water tank- ard for ornaineatal purposes only. To be decent, however, »hei: soiuo of our hockeyists heard that Flesherton had gone to Ihe enormous expense of getting b Us printed, scraped up a team and went over. Up till half time *.hey received a little consideration, and tho score waa 4-1 iu favor nf Duthnm. .\t full time Fiesherio'i waxjnhead â€" 5.

The Chronicle is refreshingly Fnnk in deliriing the greatness of Diirhaiu and its ab'lity to look after its own youngsters as they grow up, but we don't believe what It says. It cau't keep its own (hils at home any more than some other towns. They have to move out as soon as they get big Huough. The young men over there are no good. They spend all their money bettinn on hockey and horse races and never think of getting married. ' Kn, you won't get any bets on wiih Flesher- ton, Mr. Chronicle. Our young men are saving their mouey for matrimonial pur- poses, and can't be crdlod oflf with any wild-goose "honking." They say nothing, but piay hockey and win silver coffee pitchers, cups and other nice tbin^fs, wherewith to begin housekeeping. An- other thouuht has just hit us too. It is so late in the season now that The Chronicle knew there was no danger of the challenge being taken up when it was made. "Nuifsed." A distressing accident occurred on the Grand Trunk at South river recently, which resulted in the death of Ernest Thurston of Uoueywood. The Staynor Sun says : He left hero with a car Liad uf lorse«, etc., beloiiying to J.
