"OF PHOPER SYSTEM FOR SNOW REMOVAL. Snow Plows Should Be Used On the Sidewalks--Citizens Walk in Snow Koee Deep. reatest needs "One of Kingston's g is. a snow plow system," remarked a prominent citizen to the Whig -on Monday. "It is a shame the way citizens have to plow through the snow knee deep. Two or three good snow plows with a horse attached to each would relieve the difficulty. "And an effort should be made to got the walks cleaned off early im the morning," the citizen added. "Men who are put on the job of cleaning off the erossings' should by put on the job early too: To-day men were - doing the downtown cxpssings at o'clock, just when Jeorie. were com- fog down to work. Surely, when there are so many unemployed, this | work could be done without any "troulile. The council would do to take up the matler and see what ean be done. It would be money well spent, and something "which would be appreciated by all the citi- | zens." Several other citizens spoke to the Whig in a similar manner, pointing out the great need of a proper sy: tem for cleaning the snow off - the sidewalks. In many cities arrangements are made in each ward for snow remov- al, and the walks are in fairly good shape early in the morning.

Rev. Mr. Colins, of Athens, officiated. The weddin® which took place at the residence of the bride's parents, was of a quiet mature, only the immediate relatives of the par- ticipating parties being in attend- ance.

Mr. and Mrs. Livingston will' visit their many friends in this vicinity for a couple of months before leaving for their home in the west, Mr. Living- ston being a prosperons farmer of Rouleau, Sask.

Sen More War Prisoners Leave, The second squad of foreigners to be taken from Fort Henry were sent on the C.N.R. train on Monday after- noon to Hearst. As the three kinds, Germans, Austrians and Turks, do not mix well together, all of these sent to Hearst were Germans. The (Germans are blamed by the Austri- ans for starting the war, and the re: sult of their arguments would be general if they were not carefully watched. For that reason Fort Henry will be more of a temporary concen- tration camp from now on, -and the three nationalities will be gradually separated and sent to different places. Attended The Funeral. Members of the Frontenac Hockey ('lub attended the funeral of the late "Juek" Cousins, on Monday after: noon, and marched in a body in the funeral cortege from the house to St, (ieorge's Cathedral.
