PI tic's Svv, published at Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, is the most humorous paper in.
America to -day. Geo. W. Peck, its editor
and proprietor, stands without an equal as
a humorist. He believes in making people
happy, and no one can be otherwise who
reads his most excellent paper, Our
readers are invited to road the prospectus
of Peak's Sun, in another column. Sample
copies mailed free to any addroes. '
0, P. R. BusiNEsa.—It is pleasing to note
that since the opening of an agency by the
Canadian Paoifio railway in this town the
company has been doing a most gratify.
'ng business. About a year ago the agency
was established with C. E. Williams as
manager. For several months the busi-
ness transacted was but limited, only from
$25 to $30 per mouth being realized from
the sato cf tickets. Mr. Williams hasbeen
unceasing and untiring in his efforts in the
coml any's behalf, with the result of great-
ly increased business, Through his in-
strumentality a stage was placed on the
road between town and the siding, to meet
every train, and a goodly portion of, the
passenger traffic has been diverted in that
ALdirection. The accommodation on the C.
direction.
R. it. is first-class and travelers appear to
prefer it to the other roads leading into
tbwu. The increase in ticket sales is the
best indication of the growing business.
As we have already said, a year ago the
sales ran from $25 to $30 per month. In
August of this year the sales amounted to
$300; in September to $1325; and last month
it hugged close to 11400. The Dominion
Express Co., which operates on the line of
the C. P. R., also opened an office here
about a month ago, with Mr. Williams as
agent, and it is alreadj doing a most satis-
factory and paying business. Should the
railway bo extended into towu there is
little doubt but that it would do the great-
er portion of our carrying trade;
