The house was well filled. Mr. Ratio,
in his many pathetic and humorous
E=yaof characters, soon won the
hls of his attentive listeners. It a
sufficient to say that what was said
regarding him in the press notices
which preceded his coming did not
overstate his ability as a high-class en-
tertainer. The Y. M. C. A., under
whose auspices Mr. Ratio appeared in
(ioderich, deserves mut* credit for its
efforts to provide such excellent enter-
tainment.

pear they captivate their bearers with
their wonderful melody. The people,

united chorus of approval of this com-
pany of refined singers- To bear them
u a treat. To miss beating them

Rev. D. K. Grant's Lecture- 1 LOCAL TOPICS IN BRIEF.
The attractions for the citizens of
town on Tuesday evening were numer-
oue-eo numerous that the attendance
was very small at the lecture given in
Knox church by Rev. D. K. Grant on
"The Wit of the Bible." The address
was well worth bearing and was very
highly appreciated by all who heard
it. At the conclusion Rev. Jae. Ham-
ilton moved a hearty vote of thanks
to Mr. Grant, which was seconded by
J. L Grant. A piano solo by J.
B. Hunter, a duet by Mimes Scrim-
geour and Richardson and a solo

first mortgage on the plant. Arrange- i

the factory's closing down for some
months at least, and it is to be hoped
that some arrangement may be arrived
at which will ensure the continued
permanent ooeratioe of the works.
