THE MIRROR NOTES "A Chiel's Amang Ye Takin' Notes." -- Burns. There is no doubt but what the big shops constitute the back-bone of Stratford. But it is not the whole thine. Manufacttring of nearly \ every description is carried on here; especially the. furniture' industry. We have room for more manufactur- ing coneerns in this beautiful city of Stratford with its splendid schools, .churches, and exquisite scenery. It seems such a pity that such a « large building as that formerly occu- # ple to come here and occupy 'large empty buildings; General Electric building is not the the woollen not down and out! ~ woollen goods more or less, even if pied by the General Electric should remain empty so long. Can't the Board of Trade get up and shake it- self and form one big resolution that it must and will induce monied peo- these for the old What is the matter with industry? Surely it is People still wear only one. the ladies do prefer silk. Speaking of silk reminds me that a good silk factory might do well here. Let the members of the Board of Trade put on their thinking caps and put their heads together and see what they can do. ot There is a gravel path crossing the | | St. James's church yard from William to Mornington. This church yard is also, apparently, possibly before the Avondale ceme- tery was thought of. There are names on .those marble slabs dating back to nearly seventy years. Where the ashes of these pioneers rest in peace has become sacred ground to their progeny, and walk- ing over the graves appear to them to be a kind of desecration. That is probably why there has recently been placed a long row of rough loose stones along the edge of the walk to keep pedestrians on the path that has been made for their accommoda- tion. This is a commendable act. * * * A little child of about three years of age apparently got the "wander lust" the other day and toddled from the south part of Bay streetright over to Albert street. Her mother, in a frantic state, searched for almost three hours before she found her. Now some of the neighbors are sug- gesting that little tots like that be tethered to keep thme from wan- dering away. Children will be children and should be allowed to romp and play and made to feel that their chief aim in life is to be happy. Neverthe- less, a safety first device for lit- tle ones is a good idea if not carried 4 too far. --VIOLA. a grave yard where | some of the old pioneers were buried GOODYEAR TIRES 29 x 4.40 ais regular price $11.00.
