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.

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.

Mrs. 11. Sheal'down of Mitchell, it

PLEASANT EVENINO.-On Tuesday
evening about sixty young people
gethefed at the home of Mt-. and Mrs.
Frank Taylor to spend a social even-
ing, so, heedless of the stormy condi-
tions without, made up their minds
within the comfortable roosts to have
a real good time. With the aid of
music, furnished by Philip Bastard of
Dashwood. Wm. England and Fred
Young, the boys and girls gave vent
to their merriment by tripping the
light fantastic till the wee snuff 'our
began to grow larger, and the mighty
king of the day commenced to shed
his light and radiance from the east-

MARRIAGE. -Probably no prettier
wedding bas ever taken place in our
township than the one which was cel-
ebrated at the home of Rich. 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. May their
future lives be filled with piinshine and
their efforts crowned with surcess is
the wish of their many friends here.
