Hamilton, Ont, Aug. 10.-Following the
example of the Toronto banks, the mer-
chants and local banks here have decided
to refuse to accept American silver Il nd
silver certificates" For years American
bills and currs ncy have been accepted at
par by many merchants. United States

In response to continuous cheers Mr..

bows. After dinner Mr.. and Mrs Bryan

Resigned as Pastor.

Rev. G. S. Eastman, pastor OF the Calu-
met NJ. Z. church, sprung a genuine sur
prise on his audience and congregation
at the evening service last night. The
reverend gentleman had just finished one
OF bis most interesting sermons and his
auditors we're body and soul in the
thought OF the address. When he fin
ished he stated that he would resign his
position as pastor Of the church in a
short time, not resign exactly because
the N. +. pastors are placed by the an
nual conference, which will be held in
September, but the Rev. Eastman in
Tered that he would see that he was not
returned to our town. He went on to
say that he felt the work OF such large
church was entirely beyond his ability
and that his own as we'll as his wiie's
health was not OF the best. and all things
considered he thought it would be better
all around il he should take another field
next year. He took this step not with
out feelings OF great regret. The rever-
end gentleman said that he made the
fact known so that he would relieve any
doubt that may have been in the minds
of his people as TO whether he would re-
turn or not. He will be here for couple
OF months longer and does not know
where be will be located next year.
The fact OF his not returning next year
was heard with feelings OF genuine regret
by the greater part Of his flock, as Mr..
Eastman has made faithful pastor and
has done great deal OF conscientious
hard work in the interest OF the church
and the uplifting Of it's people. He has
made good citizen and many people
outside OF the church will regret his de
parture.

Everything about it will be as perfect as

Better? 1t will be just as much better
as "A new pair of trousers is better than a
patched-up old pair. Why not? Every
thing about our plant is new. The Bell
company's plant could be made as good
as ours only by building it over again"
NOW, Mr.. Ahrens, some people say
you are giving telephone service too cheap
and can't make money. How is that"
Nobody says SO that il he knows any
thing about the telephone business. Yes,
the Bell people may say it, thinking TO
brighten away investors. The plain truth
is that alter the plant is completed it will
cost less than SIC a year per telephone
to run it and this includes the interest on
our bonds. The great expense is in build
ing and equipping the plant. The stock
OF the Detroit telephone company will
paw splendidly. We KNOW that with
5000 telephones in cperation-and we
have nearly 5000 subscribers now-the
stock will earn . per cent for the first
