The old man dropped in on us
this week and by the time lie
entered the deor began telling
about why he came back when
he expected to remain away for
the summer.
"I just could not stay away all
the summer, for there were
many things I wanted to out
about. I wanted to eee what
was doing at the park and what
the "people on the fctreets were
doing and what the sanitary con
ditions wre right in the heart
of the town. 4
"The first place I visited when
I arrived was the stables of the
warehouses tnd what I found
would not do to mention juit
nere, uui i win say mat l am
surprised that the health board
does not go around them and see
conditions that exist.
"I also had a desire to find out
what had become of the many
candidates that wanted office
some years ago, and began in
quiring around. I found that
few people had time to considei
politics and many were of tht
opinion that a3 we had to have
caampafgn, it was best that it
rest as long as possible and those
seeking !lice would lose time tc
find out things about the fellow
running against them.,
"While going down the street
I saw several women that car
ried an abundance of some
thing on their heads and begar
to inquire what it meant. 01
course I did not inquire of tht
women ft r fear of arreet, but
from a man tha seemed to know
1 1 arned that it was very stylist
to have an abundance of hah
tixed up tn tne ncau in man
shapes and that all the womer
that did not have the requires
amount went to the store ant
bought a supply. In same cases
you couH rarely tell the dif
ference, while in other cases th
color of the natural hair and that
of the artificial was so striking
d (Tcrent that if I had not been
afraid I would have laughed.
0 le striking thing occurred. 1
saw one lady come along in
the wind without any hat, but
with an abundace of hair and
another that was wearing an
abundance of hat and but little
hair.
"When I arrived last Thurs
day I could not for some time
account for the crowds that
were omingand goinj in such
a hurry. Upon inquiry I was
not surprised to learn that the
graded school exorsises would
tike place that night. Durham
people certainly take an inter
est in their school and the pupils
have every encouragement that
they might need to learn their
lessons and become educated.

singing by over a hundred stu
dents led by Mr. W. H. Overton.
A speaker from the graduating
class, E. M. Chappel, read an es
say on "The Great White Pla
gue." The large numbe of
prizes awarded were presented
by Mr. P. W. Vaughan, Presi-
entof th Merchants' Associa
tion. Mayor W. J. Grisword

ib&ent during the year. An un-
sual targe number from all five
schools received these lienors.

mencement though only a few
fears old, has become one of the
most enjoyable occasions and i
Attended by a large number of
Alumni. Refreshments were
served and officers for the com-
ing year were elected, Many
enjoyed the hospitality of the
school and association.

ride, received an ample satisfac
tion. With the conclusion of the
picnic, the twenty seventh com

of buyers and-sellers having some
means of placing their wants be

column from week to week will
appear notices of things forsale,
and things wanted to be bought,

customers desired, and positions
to be filled. To the merchants,
this will offer an opertunity to

complete list of special bargains,
and opportunities for purchase.

paid-up subscribers will be al
lowed to advertise things which
they desire to buy orlsell without
paying one cent for the adver
tisement Th.'s means that if
you have something to sell or
wish to buy a certain article, you
may put it before the public in
this colum absolutely free. lYour
advertising will thus reach hun
dreds of people, some of whom
will doubtless want just the
thing you have to sell, or will
nave the article you wish to buy.

your wants, and the ad will ap
