We are patiently awaiting the corning of spring and hope it won't be far dis- tant.—We would like to draw the at- tention of our town fathers to the con- dition of the gravel walks, Those who live up farther in the village and use the cement and plank walks have no idea what they are like. As soon as the snow meltsor there is a fall of rain the walks are in a state almost as bad as the road and the people are obliged to walk in the ditch or along by the fences to keep out of the dirt. We think the walks ought to he raised and gravelled. If this was done the diffi- culty would be overcome and our trus- tees Would receive the hearty thanks of the whole village; especially those who are put to this inconvenience at present. Considerable money bas been spent of late in the business por- tion of the town and we think these people should have some redress. PLEASANT EVENING.—The Lodge room of the L.O.T.

After the initiation lunch was served and the remainder of the evening spent in pleasant eon. versation.

The late Mr. Thorn- ton died some years ago at Southamp- ton, since which time his relict has been making her home with her child- ren. Though practically estranger to many of our townspeople, not having gone out mach the past winter, owing to its severity, yet to those she met at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. 0. H. Bartliff, where she died, became en- deared to them, through the exem- plary Christian spirit displayed. She was an active lady for her age having got beyond the allotted. span of life, being 74 years and 24 days old, and which made it harder to batte against the foe that had seized her.
