Speaking of tho Band Concert there the Durham Chronicle says: "For the Flesherlon and Durham bands, we have nothing but praise. Organized- within the past three years, the citizens of Fleaherton have a right to feel proud of their luu-ioal aggregation, who through- out the evening discoursed most credit- able selections from time to time. A fifieenyear-old son of Mr. Jnnics Stinson, gravel road, got a bad shaking up one duy last week. He is fortunate instill being in the land of the living. He was engaged in plowing and had the lines tied around his waist when tho horses became restless and started oi', dragging him from his feet. In seme way things got so badly mi.\ed up that one of the horses fell on top of the boy, who was badly bruistd, but no bones were broken. Proton baseball club came up and played a return match with the Fleaher- ton club on Friday evening. We feel a little shy about naming the result, .\iidy Wilson says Proton won, because th»t club only had to circle the field half a« many tines as the Flosherton club. The Ptoton club did tho complete turn iiiue- teea times. Double that-for the Fleaher- tvin club and you have the result without bein^ told. It wa; too big a score for a league game. The La<1ie8' clubs that hav e played here this sumuiec kept the score down much butter than that. Mr. John Montg 'Uiery, a young student, occupied the Methodist pul|iit Sunday luurning, and Mr. done uf Maikdale iu tho eveuiiig.

The attempt at a civic holiday on Mon- day was a d.smal failure. The stores, postoffice and several other business places wore open as usual. I». is n pity a day satisfactory to the majority could not be decided upou for a holiday of thi.s kind. In this cuse it was shipping day and its observance by the stutis would have been a hardship to both merchants and customers.
