Death of R. ]. Darcev.

Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock,
Raymond j. Darcy died at the homo OF
his mother in Cahilltown while seated
III a chair and after remarking that IL
was a fine day. He had been ailing for
about two weeks and was in the city
some days before his death. His uneX-
pected demise has brought sadness to
the hearts Of all who knew him. He
was 26 years Of age and was a young
man of the most exemplary character,
who was esteemed and loved by all his
neighhors. He was the youngest son
but one of Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh Darcy.
one of the earliest settlers in Richiield
township. He leaves to mourn his de-
parture a widowed mother four brothers
and three sisters who have universal
sympathy in their affection. The fun
eral occurs this morning from ST. Pat
ricks church, Cahill, and the remains
will be inferred beside those of his faith
er and two sisters in ST. Mary's ceme-
terry. May he rest in peace.

The BiiOll.

Under the Polar STAR" spectacular
success, will be the bill at the Bijou
next week. The story of the play is a
more than unusually interesting one.
The north pole has its many uncertain
ties and hundreds of brave lives have
been sacrificed in pursuit Of it's discov-
cry. Hence it attracts a weird interest
Tho mystery of the pole will some day
be solved. but until that day arrives the
public will be kept In ignorance Of tho
vast unknown icy waste, save by such
brave and hardy explorers as Nansen,
return to us with their thrilling narra-
tives OF privation and hair-breadth
escapes. The scenic pictures of this
play are therefore not only interesting
but instructive. The manner In which
the breaking up of an ice foe is present.
ed is about as natural as one can ever
expect to see in stage mmicry and this
scene alone should make a success of
the play. The company that will pre-
sent the piece here is promised to be O.
capable one.

To Develop new Lumber Interest.
Mr.. S. F. Dunn. manager in this
community of the interests OF the
Nesbitt Lumber Company, of New
York, is we'll acquainted with the
lumber business of this region. He
knows what Is here, and through him
the company whose business he Is
managing here, have signlfed their
intention to manufacture gum and oak
lumber here on large scale. With
the proper encouragement the company
will locate a large plant here which
Will be worth much to the town.
Instead OF locating several small plants
at various points where timber is ob-
tainable, they can locate in Scotland
Neck one large plant, and utilize more
completely all the output of the plant.
The steam power Will not cost so much,
and many things which they would
burn as waste out In the woods or along
the railroad they can utilize here at a
profit.
THE COMMONWEALTH hopes to see
the plant located here, and bespeaks
the encouragement Of our people for
the enterprise. There are millions Of
gum timber lying around US that car
be utilized.

A Peep at Enfield.

Peep at Enfleld.
The editor of The COMMONWEALTH
ran over to Enfield Tor a few hours
Monday. We found the good people
of our neighboring town in their usual
clever mood. There are many i'm
provements to be observed in Enfield.
Mr.. David Bell, one of the able and
popular attorneys of the county, has
fitted up handsome quarters on the
east side of Main street in the old
Cohen drug store building. The build
ing has been repaired and Mr.. Bell is
comfortably located in his new and
tidy Offices.
When we were ready to return home
the train dispatcher informed that
the train was late and the Scotland
Neck train would not walt at Halifax
for the northbound train on the main
line. So we had to drive through the
country in order to be at our desk next
morning.
This gave us an opportunity to see
that much work has been done on the
farms. We do not remember to have
seen farm work farther advanced at
this season. One of Mr.. Pie,ce's good
teams easily put us home anu we were
none the worse for the late train.

Railroad Company's Improvements.

The Railroad Company has had
some very great Improvements made
about the depot. A force of hands
has filled up the large hole below
the depot in which was the turn
table when this was the terminus OF
the road.
Also a good crossing has been made
at the street leading out to the two
knitting mills and tobacco market, and
good side walks made and general
cleaning all around. The town will
certainly feel obliged to the railroad
people for these improvements.
1t is said they will also bring load
of gravel to be used in improving the
newly made sidewalks.

thanks the railroad authorities for their
help in improving that part of the
