CROMARTY MAILS DELAYED
WHEN SNOW BLOCKS ROADS
The great depth of snow every
where caused delays in mail matters
until Wednesday morning of last
week when, the snow plow went
through the centre road, then traf
fic livened up at once. But with
snow still falling horses and sleighs
and spanky drivers and cutters and
flying robes as in winters in bygone
days are all in evidence.
Rev Peter and Mrs. Jameson are
now getting settled in Cromarty
manse after a difficult moving
through storm and snow.
The man who is ashamed to dis
play his ignorance by asking ques
tions has to keep on covering it up.

“Since you have become rich I
suppose you are out of touch with
your old friends.”
“Oh, dear, no. Some of them
touch me nearly every day.”
Bad Blood the Cause
When boils start to break out on
different parts of the body it is an
evidence that the blood is loaded up
with impurities.
Just when you think you are rid
of one, another crops up to take its
place and prolong your misery.
All the lancing and poulticing you
may do will not stop more coming.
Why not give that old, reliable,
blood purifying medicine Burdock
Blood Bitters a chance to banish the
boils? Thousands have used it for
this purpose during the past 60 years,
Take B.B.B. and get rid of the bad
blood and the boils too.

Dan n of a New Era!
The World of 1880-
Sixty years ago the Bell Telephone Company of Canada was
organized.
let’s step for a moment into the world of 1880 —into the
stuffy parlour where furniture was ornate and uncomfortable;
where heavy draperies deepened the gloom of the lamp-lit
room. The ’’what-not” in the corner carried a varied assortment
of sea-shells, family photographs, glass-enclosed flowers.
By the dim light of the prismed hanging lamp people were
reading the debates in Parliament on the Canadian Pacific
Railway contract; of Peter Redpath’s gift of a Museum to
McGill; of the assassination of Honourable George Brown of
the Toronto ’’Globe”.
The Amazing
Progress
of telephone communication
since ibis company was
formed sixty years ago will
he told in a series of adver
tisements, of which this is
the first. The story is based
upon authentic records in
the Company's Museum in
Montreal. Illustrations also
are made from original data.
Came the telephone with its insistent ring, its, amazing ability
to get things done. The Victorian household was never to be
the same again.
The pace at which life moved began to speed up. A new era
had begun. Perhaps more than any other single factor, the tele
phone is responsible for the changes these sixty years have seen.
