Walton McKibbon THE DRUGGIST Blook, Wingham, - .,.-.. _ _ •.-.. Cheroot r Imparted. An exchange ery well says:—Yon will find that areat deal of character ik is imparted an received at the table. Parente too oft, , forget this, and there- fore instead of s • allowing your food in sullen silence; i.stead of brooding over your business; is stead of severely talk- ing about others, let the conversation at the table be go, al. kind, sooial and cheering. Don't bring disagreeable things to the table in your conversation any more than you would in your dish. es. For this reaso i, too, the more good company you ba e at your table, the better for tour hildren. Every oon- versation with of •• puny at the table is an education to • e family. Hence the intelligence and he refinement and ap- parent behavior of a family whioh is given to hospit • lity. Never feel that intelligent vieito a can be anything but a blessing to yo and yours. How few have gotten ho d of the fact that com- pany and cony: sation at the table are no small part of education. $80,000 In spite of the hard times, the above amount of property has been sold through our agency in the past few months, whioh is an evidence that Ontario Real Estate has a sound substantial value There is no disguising the fact however that the West still has at. tractions for many, and farms are being listed with as almost every day, because the owners desire to try their fortunes on the prairies. Many of these farms oan be sold by us at what would have been consider- ed ridiculously low figures a few years ago, when the prices for farm products were much lower than at present. It will certainly pay any intending purchaser to give ns a call. Half an hour in our office would be worth more to biro than a week driving about the oonntry. Desirable town properties for sale.
