Down to fighting weight" was the
announcement Of A. M. Nellie" Dun
ham, Names champion fiddler" be-
fore he turned in" at o'clock to-
night for a good nights sleep in
preparation for his departure tomor-
row morning for Dearborn, Mich, to
play his fiddle for Henry Ford at the
manufacturers invitation. Early to-
morrow he and Mrs. Durham will
ride into town behind their old sta
ton horse to take their place
with Governor Brewster in the pa
rade that will mark Norway's final
send off to her ~ year old champion.
The governor tonight telephoned
that he will arrive in time for the
celebration and A. B. McNaughton.
general passenger agent of the Grand
Trunk Railroad, who arrived here in
his private car, assured the local
celebration committee that he would
hold the train If necessary to assure
a fitting send-off.

dash to the North Pole.
Both Nellie and his wife refuse to
become excited outwardly over the
trip, although Mrs. Durham admitted
that she spurgled" and bought a new

Durham away has left. The children
and most townspeople will march in
a parade to the depot and included in
the line of march will be Norway's

corps and Representatives of all local,
civic, military and fraternal orders.
