Thomes Hay is Listowel's new _post- 'master We heartily congratulate Mr. Hay upon obtalning so comfortable a position and hope that he may be long spared toenjoy it. His appointment 'gives general satisfaction to both politi cal parties. A passenger who was boarding the 3.48 express last Saturday came pearly losing his life. In attempting to get on the train while it was moying, he slipp- ed from the step and was thrown against the car. Fortunately the impact threw him a little distance out from the track. Another foot or two would have made quite a difference. People are far teo careless ip boarding trains. Some seem to do it to show off ; others are always late for the train, and others again are reckless, A rough-and-ready hockey match was played on the rick last Saturday afternoon between the 10th line boys and a team of Atwoodites. The game partook largely of the nature of old fashioned shinney as many of the play- ers were not expert skaters or stick- handlers, Ilowever, the players seemed to enjoy the fun and the game afforded plenty of amusement to those who were onlookers, The Atwood boys came out victorious by 5 goals to 2. Referee, Colin Cameron, This is the way a weekly paper ex- presses a trite idea: "[low dear to my heart is the steady subscriber, who pays in advance at the birth of each year ; who lays down his money quite gladly and casts round the oftice a hulo of eheer, Le never says stop it, I cannot afford it, I'm getting more papers than now J can read ;but always says send it, the family likes it~in fact we thinks it a real househuld need.

A carload of coal arrived in Atwood this week, and its arriyal was hailed with delight and relief by those house- holders who were nearly out of fuel, The coal dues not appear to be of very $8atonis certainly a superior one. The fuel question has been a source of anxiety to a great many people who in past years scarcely eyer realized jus how nuch it signified to have a Las supply of fuel on haud, In order to: meet some obligations the directors of the Atwood Public Library decided to give an entertain- ment on the evening of Feb. 10th, Phey have engaged L. B. Spafford car- toonist, humorist and instrumentalist to give one of his unique' entertain- ments. Mr. Spafford gives two and one half hours of solid fun, The press of the province area unit in according him unstinted praise. We hope the directors will be encouraged by seeing a bumper house greet Mr. Spafford. Remember it is for a worthy cause. Mr. Spafford is giving us a special offer and we hope the people will appreciate a good thing. The Royal Templars are going to give the people of Atwood and vicinity a rare treat on Feb. 8rd wnen Owen A. Smily of Toronto will give one of his inimitable entertainmeuts.. Mr. Smily is an exceptionally gifted young man. Several of our citizens have heard him, and it is on their recommendation that! the Templars engaged him for Tues- day evening next. He is an elocut- fnist, ventriloquist, monologist aud musician, and will be assis'ed by~.the best local talent. On Feb. 3rd the county district meeting will be held here, when it is. expected that a con- siderable delegation will be present from allover the county, to deliberate on matters of interest to the temper- ance cause, Let there be a good rally of local workers on Tuesday afternoon in the Foresters' Hall.

We take'great pleasure in heartily recommending three splendid Canadian publications, namely : The Montreak Witness, World Wide, and Northerm Messenger, all published by John Dou- gall & Son, Montreal. The Witness has the reputationgf being the most independent paper in Canada, it standst for all that is good and upright and entirely fearless in its utterances. World Wide is a marvel of interest aud cheapness, and contains a weekly reprint ef articles from leading jour- nals and reviews, and reflecting the current thought of both hemispheres. The Messenger especially appeals to' the young, ils stories are caretully' chosen, and exereise a helpful influences op the young, Weean give THe BEE and Daily Witness for $2.35 ; Bee and Weekly Witness for $1.60 ; BEE. andl World Wide for $1.60 ; Bee and Mes- senger for $1.25 ; Daily Witness, World Wide, Northern Messenger aud Berri for $3.60 ; Weekly Witness, World Wide, Northern Messenger and BEE for $2.60.
