The Directors sent To Enr on Anent-ATE.out a commission for the bailie purpose land in the haute way and acted ui on Dear Sita --Your invitation soliciting their report Were not the Directors expressions of °pinion on questions of interest to the public is indeed timely and worthy of wore thou passing tee Lice at this particular period of the town's history. I concur with all ttt.tt has been said in your articles and communications regarding matte's pertaining to the town's welfare and ,advancement ,and since the priwiiege is urine I feel it is uty ditty to encourage a good healthy discussion of these matters and 1 trust they will he taken and considered in the same kindly spir- it in which they are meant. In the first place let rue say that our town is not tnjoying that measure of pros- perity and thrift it should. which fact 15 quite apparent and conceded by every citizen in it. That our town has to :t more of less deg' ee drifted into a state of stagnation and dormancy no one will deny: neither can it be concealed that there has been a luck of effort on the part of our coun- cils, business men and citizens gener- ally in the matter of procuring, proip- ogatine and stimulating industries and other neeale.l institutions for the t....:.. 'Then there must be something wrong ;and to remedy that wrong should be the aim of every citizen who bas the welfare of the town at heart. The question then arises hmv sh alt we get out of the rut ? Lot me suggest a remedy. We have some good business ,nen-probably no better in Ontario. Then letthese business men put their heads together, make a move in the right direction, in no half-hearted way and I feel safe in saying that those men would not only get the backing but the hearty support of every rate- payer and citizen in the town. There is no town in Canada can boast of a more prosperous cnuunuwity. or better sur- roundings. then there is no reason why this state of dormancy should exist. Then again is it not high titne some- thing was done to remedy this state of affairs, infuse new life and make our town once more assume the high standard it so deservedly merits. Might I ask. Mr. Editor, what has be- come of our Board of Trade? It sure- lw has not passed out of existence? Probably there is no institution can do more for a town than it live, ener- getic and active Board of Trade. All well -regulated cities and towns have rut organization of this kind and from its sources many good and profitable results are derived. Then why not our Board of Trade get into action: there is 00 better time than the present. There are many things that a Board of Trade could take hold of for the betterment of the town that are out- side the duties and power of a council to take up. The philosopher or some other men has said "this world is largely what we make it." The statue reasoning applies to our town. Then let es make it something. We want industries. Other towns of less im- portance are reaching out tot such and are getting them. then why not Exeter? All it requires is a little ef- fort. Now let there be a shaking up of the old dry bones such as we have never had before and with a united ef- fort put the town in the fore front. Thanking you for so much valuable space I am. Yours truly. Spero melioria, The Durham Cement Question. To TIIE EDITOR OF ADVOCATE. DEAR SIR. -In answer to some of the statements over the signature of Mr. Robert Cochrane in the Derham Chronicle, let me say at the very out- set that the'r'e is no one connected with this company that would are bet- ter pleased to have piisitive proof that there WAS an abundance of tn:u'l of a commercial value within reach of the works rat Durham than the present Board of Directors. Whitt is Mr. Cochrane's motive for holding out a challenge to the Direc- tory to publish resolutions of the Board? `'hat would such a suicidal act to an industrial enterprise mean? Surely he should know that every pro- vision is made in the OntarioCorupan- les' Act. whereby stockholders may avail themselves of any information they may desire, and who are the only ones that have a right to know the in- ternal workings of their company. Ile insinuates that he doers not "feel certain that everything is just right" :and is using his efforts to "safeguard' the people who put their money into it. Safeguarding is only with printers' ink. The present directorate safe- guarded it in a crisis in a more sub- stantial way, by pledging their person- al credit to the IMAnk by their signa- tures representing $30,000. Is this eafeguartltng your interests or nut? Think it out. Ile tells you plainly his object is to get the proper information into the minds of the stockholders in order thatthey nifty vote intelligently. What does that mean? Can't you read bet ween the lines? Are we not upon the tracks of the nigger? He tells you -and quite correctly - that "the 'pill started this season with an netual, •isable, pressing obligation of $110.000 to be met by the Company" Anil Ade. "even the most h°peftil of its felt that the debt would never be discha tged, and the company would be forced into liquidation.' lie tells you of this "enormous indebtedness" snivel() has been paid, together with $7,000 interest. Ask yourself (he ques- tion, who has brought this about, the present Directors or the wolves and calamity howlers (hat are outside? This man tells you that "the town Council hid to take the +natter up and sent out a company to make timings and investigate the matter and is more than ever convinced that we have within ear Access of the works ma- terial to kc the mull running for gen- las touch jitstifled in accepting the re- ; portof their committee as the town council. One reported "no marl of commerclal value," the tither "abund- I ante of Inert." Again, let rue tell you to read be- tween the litres of the article in the Durhau,Chronlele for the nigger in the fence. Accoiliig to the list of share- holders which the writer has in his possession. your friend, Robt. Coch- rane, bas less hundreds than the Direc- tors have thousands at stake in the Company. In conclusion let me say had the present Directorate not been loyal to your best interests your com- pany would brave passed into other hands. Stockholders, you are the jury, what's your verdict? Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for your valuable space. I ant, yours faithfully. A SHAREHOLDER. The Durham Cement Plant. To TIIE EDITOR OF THE ADvOOATR. DEAR SIR. -Regarding the Durham Mill, (National Portland Cement Co.,) I wish to say, 1 am not in favor of moving the Otte, as lunges it has suf- ficient marl around Durham. We, the Directors, wet told by our man- ager that there wits nut sufficient marl in Wilder's Lake to last the still more than two years afterthis season. We then instructed our hest men to awake a thorough search around Durham to ascertain if there was more 111*11 to he had. Their report came before the Direc- tors in ,writing and is still on file, and is to the effect that there were no de- posits of marl in paying quantities af- ter we got done with Wilder's Lake. With this report lying on our table we passed a resolution: "Whereas it has been shown tbat the marl supply is nearly exhausted, we deem it in the hest interest of the National Portland Co., to search for and find a suitable location for the cement plant whale sufficient raw material is to be found." You will understand theft one of our directors is a worthy citizen of Dur- ham and was very much lispPleased with this report and when it became known in Durham the town Council, (all honor to them) did right. They appointed a committee to investigate for utet•1, and we are told by this com- mittee that there is marl in abundance sufficient to keep the mill running for a lifetime; And by the way, I atm per- sonally very glad these is marl in abundance, because it bas increased the value of nlysteck in the Cotnpany to the extent of $0000. The first Directors' tweeting that I attended was about one year ago, when you remember 1 took the place of Dr. Mallet after his death. The debt on the plant was then $140,000 and the bank would not supply ns with any more cash to go on with the work without further security; so nay installation ceremony consisted in my signing with the rest of the directors our personal notes to the extent of $30,000 This was a hard dose, but it bad to be done to save the mill front the auctioneer's hammer. Now, one year has gone and I can confidently say that every man on the board has done his duty to the company with the result that we only owe the hank $311,. 000 instead of $140.00. The plant hes been kept up in first-class condition, besides some improvements that have been added and paid for, of which you have not heard, and I have no hesita- tion in saying that with plenty of marl to keep going the present management can pay every stockholder a hand- some dividend next year. i see stock is quoted at 10 cents on the dollar. i just wish to say 1 can find buyers for it if the sellers will communicate with me. Thanking you, Mr. Editor, J. Connr.EnicK. Preparing Chicken for Market. Purchasers of poultry in town com- plain of the manner in which swine is brought in for sale.

Culbert, Esq., of the 2nd Concession. We re- fer to the marriage of his estimable daughter. Miss Hildah, who gave her heart and hand to Rev. C. Carscallen, B.A., of Dresden. The bride looked the picture of loveliness in ahandsotne costume of white silk with veil and carried a sheaf of bridal roses. The important event occurred on Thurs- day and Rev. Stephen Bond of Forest assisted by Rev. J. E. Holmes tied the nuptial knot in the presence of a large and select gathering. A very delicious wedding breakfast was served after the ceremony. The gifts presented to the bride were of a high order. Mrs. Carscallrn was beloved by the whole community And her unfailing good humor, wit, with beauty and charm, conquered the hearts of many, who are indeed sorry to see her going so far awAy, but trust that as she leaves behind a host of lonely •nes she will never forget theta, and we know that her kind word And genial smile will soon find their way into runny said heat ts. On Tuesday evening a large number gathered at the Methodist church. L lean, where it " Farewell " was given Rev. and Mrs. ('arscallen, who left yesterday (Wednesday) for the mission fields in China.
