Speaking of the approaching Easter holidays young H. a rather forward youth, asked the major, "What docs Good Friday moan?" "You had better go home and read your `Robinson Cru - see,' " rusee,'" was the withering reply. It is thought that sufficient pressure will be brought to bear on the Grand Trunk authorities to recommence run- ning a daily freight train between London and Wingham. There is much dissatisfaction along the line at the every other -day- service now in vogue. Mr, Barr has introduced a bill in the Ontario Legislature which provides that the county council shall consist of the reeves only of each municipality composing the county, and that each shall be entitled to one vote for himself and an additional vote for each full 500 of the persons entitled to vote at mun- icipal elections.

Mr, John Hawkshaw, who has been compelled to walk on crutches caused by a broken leg. is now able to travel by the aid of one. The Stephen and Usborne Agricul- tural Society have decided to bold their fail show this year on the first Monday and Tuesday after the Western Fair. We notice by our exchanges that' the butchers in our neighboring towns purpose making displays of Easter meats. el'ondor if our local butchers will do likewise? Why are buttons on men's clothing on the right hand side and on woman's clothing on the left hand side? This is curious but tree. It would be inter- esting to know the reason. At a wood bee held on the premises of Mr. H. Isaac, Lake Road,. Stephen, last week, eighty cords were cutin one day; and on the same day sixty cords were cut on the premsies of Mr. George Mantle, Crediton. It was proved in a Hamilton court that poker is a game of skill. And so it is, when you come to look at it. But so is 'he game of three-card Monte, and the game of the thimble rigger, and various other skilful devices by which the fool and his money are parted Mr. Jos. Case, London Road, North,' while hauling square timber from the woods on Thursday last unfortunately had his ankle bone broken and the joint dislocated. The injured limb was set once set in place but the patient will probably be enable to use it for same months. The suit of McHugh vs. Township of Stephen was before the High Court at Toronto on Friday. Miss E. D. Ar- mour, Q. C', for defendants. moved for an interpleader order and for leave to pay $1,000 into court after deducting costs Order made. Issue to be de- livered and tried at London. The bluebirds, robins, and black- birds the harbingers of spring, have arrived, and this week in the sheltered woods, the familiar voices of the blue- birds and robins were heard„ The wise head say that the coming of black- birds counts for nothing, but to the average farmer the arrival of the blue- birds fixes the absolute end of cold' weather, Now and again visitors come and go and events transpire which we do not know.'r o catch or learn of every import- ant item of news we would require to have a special reporter m almost every family in town. Citizens can assist us materially in gathering new if they will but giye us a hint, It would be a very easy* matter to do, either person ally or by a note, A local paper is what the editor and citizens and busi tress men make it, Giye WI the news, Last Sunday was Palau Sunday, Great stock and ' grand values in new nobby hats for men and boys at. the Big Bankrupt Store. There is more, joy in a printing of• ace over one sinner who pays in act vance and abuses the editor on every ocetsion than over ninety and nine who borrow the paper and sing its praises without contributing a cent to keep it out of the poor house. . The town of Listowel seeks power through the Legislature to pay bonus- es of $2,500 to the Morris, Field, Rogers Co., nano manufacturers, and $2,000 to Messrs Gillies and Martin, iron founders, both of that town, in aid of their respective industrial establish- ments. Kentucky editors cannot be to care- ful about what they print. The citi- zens of the blue glass common -wealth are touchy, and statements published with the most amiable intentions are likely to cause trouble. Here is the editor of the Mount Sterling Times, for example, who printed what he th'iught was a graceful obituary notice, wind- ing up with the statement that "the deceased had gone to a happier home" He is now the defendaut in a libel suit brought by the widow, and when he goes home after seeing the paper to press he takes the middle of the street and carries his shotgun at full cock. The notice was gratis, too. THE BIG BANKRUPT STORE For new, choice Spring Goods!! ! NEW CURTAINS, NEW CURTAIN POLES, NEW WALL PAPERS, NEW BLINDS & NEW CARPETS. All in and opened for your inspection.

STEWART, The "oldest inhabitant" for many years never saw such beatiful, delight- ful spring weather in March, The roads are now good. The robins. crows and blackbirds are abundant. Many are ploughing. It will be sad if the old proverb proves true: "When March comes in like a lamb, it goes out like a lion." Baster falls this year on March 25th - the earliest date for many ' years: It will•be nearly a hundred years before it again falls on this date, the next years being 1969, 2035, 2046, 2057, 2103, 2114, 2125 and 2198. The earli est date upon which Easter can fall is March 2.2, and the last Easter on this date were iu the years 1893, 1716, and 1818; but so early an Easter will not come again until 1970. The Wingham Advance has worked himself up to a fervid state over the recent action of the postal officials in closing the Khiya Post-offfiee and says: "By looking up the post office guide it will be found that the Khiva, P. 0. is in the north riding of Middlesex." Just as though the office could not be closed without same being removed from the postal guide. The authorities do not issue guides every day. Some people may not know that by allowing black knot to remain on their plum trees they are subjecting them- selves to a fine of $20. Black knot is yery contagious, it spreads rapidly, and should be cut off as soon as it makes its presence known. This month and next is the best rime for doing the work. Fruit growers should watch their neighbors trees and report to Constable Creech if they find trees affected. For the benefit of those of our citi- zens who have had the misfortune to have their chimney burned out we would say that by filling a tin pan part full of water and after lifting the end of the stovepipe from the stove, place it in the pan of water. The water will instantly be drawn from the pan up the pipe to the chimney and your fire is out in Less time than it takes to tell it, and the Fire Depart- ment has been saved a trip and nobody is excited. RATTIER AWKWARD.—A rather awk- ward circumstance occurred at a wed- ding, which took place in this vicinity recently. Just about the time the ceremony was to be performed the luckless groom found that he had left his license in the pocket. of a coat that was hanging in his bedroom, seyeral miles away. There was nothing to do but hasten a messenger after the mir- ing document, and kill time till he got back, after which eyelything went "merry as a marriage bell"—Clinton New Era. If Messrs. Dan Davis and Jim Abbott never believed in spiritualism, they undoubtedly will after a little episode which occurred Monday evening. While sitting in Dr, Rollins' office on the evening above mentioned, they noticed a stick of wood about 4 inches thick (which was standing on end be hind the stove) suddenly rise about 2 inches from the floor and rock to and fro several times before settling to its former standing position. Both gent lernen are prepared to make affidavit that the above incident is a fact. The little child of Malcolm McIntyre, Napier, aged about nineteen months, was p'aying in the yard the other day, and with childish curiosity was looking into the cistern, when she overbalanced and fell into the water. There was only about 20 inches of water, yet her cries, if any, were not heard, and when dis- covered, was past all hope. Huron Uniform Promotion Exams. These examinations will be he d in the public schools of Huron on March 29th and 30th, commencing at one o'clock on the 29th. Teachers who have not sent to the Inspector for the number of papers required should do so at once. 24th May. It is now an understood fact that May 24th will be celebrated in Exeter by a big day of horse racing. A ,peti- tion is in circulation and a large amount has been subscribed. Large prizes will be given and doubtless some of the best horses in Ontario will be here. Exeter Council Proceedings, Council met by order of the reeve at the Town Hall, Exeter, 16th March.
