We are glad to know that many ladies do remove their hats at such places to the comfort of every body. To such we tender the sincere thanks of the whole community. To say the least the " Obstructive ’At ” is awfully annoying at all panoramic entertainments. and we have known wicked men to use language at such places that wouldn’t look well in print. Now we truly believe that most women look twice as pretty .with their hats of, and we make our most pathetic appeal to all dear, lov- ely women. not to hide their charms by wearing big hats at concerts. THE Meaford Monitor is advertising for two more “ apprenticis.” We imagine from the bright artistic ap pearance of the paper that it would take a smart boy or girl only a very short time‘to become a finished typo. The Monitor is the most unique paper on our exchange list. IF there’s anything wrong now all we’ve got to do i.» to blame the Grand Trunk Railway. The Company has been geuing a good deal of news- paper attention during the past few weeks, and Mr. 1!..in hearing of the agitation, published an explanation with a promise to .make improve rnents hm the near future. .For a long time there has been much dis- satisfaction regarding service render- ed on the branch lines and the agita tion of the press may be credited for helping the movement on towards a better condition of things. Even big corporations do not like a united press to come down on them too heavy. DURING the past few weeks a good- ly number of readers have renewed their subscriptions and by so doing assisted us in meeting some of our fi- nancial obligations. There are others yet we would like to hear from. some of whom are badly in arrears. To those who have so nobly contributed we tender our sincere thanks, and trust that soon we’ll be put in a posi- tion to thank many others. On Monday last. Mr. Allan Bell, whom we reported ill last week, sub- mitted to an Operation for appendi- citis, and we are pleased to learn is progressing favorably at time of writing, Wednesday He was so weak that the attending physicians, Drs. lamieson and Macdonald, were afraid the shock would be more than he could bear. but an operation seem- ed the only thing to save life. Is there anything in it? A citizen told us a few days ago that pipes and chimneys may be cleaned very easily when clogged from using soft coal. The method consists in putting a small peice of zinc in the stove and allowing it to burn, which he says removes soot and dirt. THE North Oxford By-elections Tuesday went in favor of Col. Munro, Liberal. by a. large majority, ranging somewhere in the neighborhood of eight or nine hundred. The constit- uency was always strongly Liberal, and gave the late Andrew Patullo over 1:200. IT is reported that Woodstock gave a. majority Conservative vote in the by-election Tuesday in North Oxford. The town’s previous majority for Patullo. Liberal, was about two hundred. - JUST as we go to press we are in- structed to say that the Scotch Con - cert has been postponed until further notice. MR.

Ion, There is an old saving that the Devil has no use for a busy man, and certainly the idle fellow makes the best servant. Our boys were an honest. faithful and courteous lot un- til the bad weather threw them out of work and they caught the rage from Glenelgers of calling themselves Sons of Rest. and now they are up to all sorts of mischief. Last week Pathmaster Pete Black ordered all hands out to open the roads. He is a favorite with the boys so they didn’t murder him right on the spot. but all climbed to a position in th e barn next day where they could see the other follows [:0 first, consequent- ly the road remains impassable.

The home of James Tucker last Wednesday night was the scene of mirth when the youth of the neigh- borhood had assembled and spent the live long night in games. songs and dancing. A couple of loads from Glenelg Centre fell into the good graces of the Corner people so quick- ly and pleasantly that they added mucl; to the enjoyment and made many remark that Glenelg is O. K. right to the Centre. Ritchie Bros. supplied the music for the dancing while Miss Paterson. of Flint, Michi- gan. and Miss Sirrs presided at the organ for the singing. It is a current belief that people who say juSt what they think seem to be always thinking mean things and no doubt the officers of the Farm- ers Institute will say the same of us when we say those officers should be changed yearly as it is a Government Institution and many small benefits go to the oflicers. Of course the members should attend to the matter. No one can blame the officers for tak. ing a good thing when it is given them, but the honors should be pass ed around. Orchard ville farmers boasted on the day of the township nomina'ions that by using genius they had broken the roads after the first storm in such a way that it would be impossible for them to get blocked again this win- ter. As there was no traffic on them all last week we presume new in- ventions were being prepared which would amaze everyone when put in operation. Thomas McGirr took the two weeks course in stock judging at the A.
