A NEW TOWNSHIP
OUT OF EVIL COMES GOOD SYDNEY, July 3. A now township whs one of iho outcomes of the depression when if was at its height three years ago. Some miles beyond Sydney in open country u piece of' land was secured by a clergyman which was cut up into small lots and upon which some'of the unemployed, deep in distress and living on the dole, were placed, being assisted to erect tiny cottages and cultivate the land surrounding it. The clergyman was the Rev. Canon Hammond, and (lie. settlement, which now contains 500 people, is named 11ammondville. Citizens able to help generously participated in the movement, and the result is that the assisted people are o writing on farm lots, growing vegetables and poultry, and have achieved a. modicum of independence which has in effect given them new lives for the old. A new cottage a' week is being added to the settlement.
