McLean. blacksmith, purchased from the Presbyterian church the, building formerly known as the Hahn House stables, and pur- chased by this congregation some weeks ago with the intention of re- modelling it into a church building. The. congregation subsequently de- cided on the erection of a new edifice. with the result that the Hahn property was advertised for sale. The. deal between Mr. McLean :and the committee, empowered to {sell was closed last Friday, Mr. Mc- Lean getting immediate possession. Interviewed by The Chronicle on Wednesday morning. Mr. McLean told us it was his intention to move. his blacksmithmg business across the street. to his new stand. the shop occupying the west side of the front building. The implement stock. of two and wooi‘lworking department will also be. located here. The. rear of the building is to be used for the. accommodation of horses. either for standing in while owners are in town, or hay or hay and oats will be provided if de- sired. It. is the intention of the new proprietor to cater for this kind of thisiness, and with accomâ€" modation for upwards of twenty- tire horses. there will be. no need for further complaint about stabling accommmlation. 1n the, front part, there is also room for the storage i over night of autos. as well as a 1 number of box stalls for horsea ' whose owners would sooner have . this kind of accommodation. I I ‘ Mr. McLean’s purchase, and his intvntion to run a feed stable in con- nvclion with his blacksmithing business is a good thing for tho farmers of the neighborhood and tho town. too, as. had this building boon closed to this sort, of accom- modation, it, would have caused (lis- salisl‘aclion and loss of business. It is to be hoped that the business bosidos being a benefit to tho town and its surroumlings. will also prow ln'nlitaljvlc to llm now ownm'. MRS. ROBT. VOLLETT DIED AT UNITY, SASK.

A. this season, although Holstein has had a strong team in the Western Association for many years and usually broke into the semiâ€"finals. It is believed from the present indications that there will be nothing doing in soccer in Holstein this coming summer. Some of last year’soplayers have left town, and there is not sufficient ma- terial here to organize a strong team. Local fans feel that}! they cannot put a winning team into the league. they will stay out. Some of the local players, however, may play on the Ayton team, as that tewn plans to have a team in the W.

The year 1926 surely proved the correctness of the old saw that if March came. in like a lamb, it would1 depart like a lion. This year March was the. most peaceful little lamb- kin imaginable and came in as peacefully as the small boy who sneaks home at H p. m. after for- getting to cut up the necessary kindling for the morning‘s fire. Though cold for the first few days. the month generally has been all that could be desired, and there was hope. up to yesterday, the 3lst, that she would depart in the same manner as she had arrived. During the! night. however, the wind arose, and before morning, was blowing a hatful, which, later ac- cnmpaniod by snow. sleet and rain, made navigation anything but plea- sant. As the day were an, more snow fell and mum wind was in ovidvm'e. with the result that the averagn citizen. in cementing on the old lambâ€"lion adage. averred that that tho half had not been told. Instead of dopai'tinglikeua tinn, for a time it seemed that there werei a whole host of liens. and that these were being pursued by sev- n‘l'al uthm's. At one time we thought [.ierhaps they had switched sex on us. and that instead of a lion. it was a real mad lioness that had been turned image on the commun- ity. This hmught to mind Watson‘s famous lines. “The female of the species is mere deadly than the male." Yesterday‘s blow was a real one, and tho countryside is now a gi- gantic mass of ice and snow. with oxtonsivo travol in any kind of con- voyanro out. of the question. It was rosponsihlo for tho socond serious tioâ€"up of the Season, the noon C. N. R, train hoing noarly two hours late, and tales of trains on other hranchos hoing stalled by snow and ice. Locally, there was no way of telling what time the train would arrive. as both telegraph and tolo- phono linos are out of commission. As a slaughtered animal usually gives one gigantic kick before pass- ing out. we are hoping that old man Wintor is in much the same box, and that this March storm is but the adiou ot‘ the old gentleman who has hold the stage so long and that soon glorious Spring will arrive in all her beauty and warmth.
