Help the Merchants by Your Purchases as Farly as Poss. ible----Will We Have Lady School Trustees? > "Hardly three months till Christ- mas; shop early." It may appear a little ahead of time to talk about Christmas and Christmas shopping, but there are a large nuiober of Kingston people who glieady have the Yuletide season in mind, and are making the. necessary "prepara- tions. The movement each year to have the people shop early so as te avoid a big crush in the stores is a good one. The wise people will commence right' away and make purchases, and in doing so they will have thé benefit of the best selection of goods. Owing to the war, there has been a scarcity of many things, and those who leave their shopping off till the last minute will he -80TTY. Shop early and help thie mer chants, Make a Christmas pur- chase each day or so, and when Christmas rolls along yon will have all your shopping finisheds and will not be tired out when the day of all days comes along. The mer- chants would appreciate your help in this early shopping movement. The general opinion is that there will be some real lively meetings of the Board of Edueation when they get lady trustees in Kingston. There are lady - trustees in some other cities, and there is no reason why they could not act on the local board. No doubt the women could toke along their kmitting and there- by kill two birds with the - one stone, as they discuss the big school problems of the day. . - . \ frie Diece of news camp tio well known guar- Men and Young Men's Fall Suits and Over- coats at $18, $20, $22, $25; others up to $35 ' Bring the boys and share the special of- ferings on suits and overcoats, ivingston's BROCK STREET ; If off your route it pays to walk, : Largest Variety + the = = lewest Styles" : > go; oF . g 4 Best Materials 3 p i 7 Ea Lowest Pricess' fi sult of the organization formed by gl the mothers and the teachers of tho = pupls of Victoria §i80 that ithere will be no waste, For §| derstand why he would 'be helping ae and they can do their "bit" by in- S| isting that there is no wastage. |-as street cars on (Princess street. on the- Whig office the othar day in nn jaccount submitted about a wedding, whicu occurred jin this vienity, A: {ter quite an- elaborate des: iption of j the dress. worn by ihe hide, the {writer went on ito say "rhe groom | looked very nice in a, au ff blue [ ue rge, with hat to maich." | The men have certain'y come din- jto their own at last.
