THE New Year has opened well and good resolutions have no doubt been made by many. Good resolutions are all right. but why should New Year’s Day be made the starting point more than any other day in the year. If it’s good to start right New Year’s, it is good to start any time, and those ’who forget to make their good resolves , on New Years had better not wait till the New Year comes again. The pitiable feature of many good resolu- tions is the fact that they don’t last long. They are akin to the man who is good and pious on Sunday and forgets himself as soon as Sunday is over till Sunday comes again. In fact there may be some with a sanctimonious look in the church pew that are secrect. ly devising schemes to get the better of their neighbors the first thing Mon- day morning. We’ll venture to guess that some of our aspirants for muni- cipal honors thought more last Sunday of how the fight would go than they thought of the sermon. W'ho would expect to be otherwise?

BILLS are out. for a. skating Cam-ni‘ra.1 to be given here on the 18th of J anu‘ THERE has been considerable agita- tion of late in favor of improvnig our standard of horse flesh, especially in the agricultural land clydesdale classes. However the only way in which horse breeders can hope to make a financial success is by possessing the right stock to breed from. We want to call the attention of our readers to a consign- ment of registered clydesdales consist- ing of about thirty fillies and a few choice stallions which are now cross- ing the ocean and which will come direct to this district. This importa- tion is by Mr. Thos. Mercer of Mark- dale and is his third lot within a year. Mr. Mercer has been notably success- ful especially with imported fillies for the past two years at Toronto and! W’estern shows, and this time, as usual. he may be counted on to bring nothing but the best. He is expected to arrive home about the twelfth of this month and will take this stock direct to his own stables at Markdale for private sale. This is certainly ad' vertising Mr. Mercer but the importa- tion of this class of stock is an indus- try wort‘h encouraging and a golden opportunity for the farmer and breed- er to get the proper article.
