On Father's Day, my husband received a lovely outdoor stand. If you go down Main Street, I'm sure you have seen it. It stood outside our shop at 96 Main Street South. My son made it for his Dad. It is a little store with our names on it and the ;name of our store, "Memories." On Sunday, Sept. 3, our stand was stolen. It was there at 9 p.m. so it went missing after that. My dying daughter had an angel stolen from her front garden two years ago and now it's our stand. It is of value to no one but us. To whomever stole it, what kind of jerk are you? You have no respect for anyone else's things. What did you do, wreck it, burn it or whatever? I hope you got as much joy and pride out of wrecking it that we did owning it. Remember what goes around, comes around, so be careful. Mrs. Audrey Robson Seaforth To the Editor, I belong to a small but deter- mined group in town called TOPS, which stands for Take Off Pounds Sensibly. We meet every Tuesday from 6:45 p.m. to approximately 7:45 in the Presbyterian Church base- ment. Our goal is to encourage and support weight loss efforts of each individual in the group. I personally have lost 25 pounds over the last year but I couldn't have done it on my own. With the guidance of our wonderful leader Yvonne, we discuss different topics such as nutrition, motivation and exercise. We have had a lot of fun sharing each other's triumphs and tribula- tions. Unfortunately, our numbers have dwindled over the summer months as everyone gets busy with other things. I just. want to inform and remind everyone who has tried to lose weight and not succeeded on their own to come and join us. There is strength in numbers.

It was manufactured by Messr. Stewart and Smith. The extensive premises of Andrew Govenlock of Winthrop had a narrow escape from destruc- tion by fire on Tuesday. The woods in rear of Winthrop were all on fire and it was with difficult the sparks were kept from igniting the barns and other buildings. The Hullett swamp was also on fire and there were several pretty bad swamp fires in Tuckersmith. Messrs. Brownell and Abell have disposed of an immense lot of cord- wood around town this season. They deliver the wood either in cordwood lengths or sawed to order which is a great convenience to those in want of wood. SEPTEMBER 14,1906 The chopping mill being erected by the Messrs. Hoegy is now also nearing completion and we trust that they will also share the patronage of the farmers of this locality and we know the people of Walton will find them to be honest, upright and useful citizens. A new barber has also opened a tonsorial parlour in the rooms of the Royal Hotel. So don't forget the boys to come along and have your whiskers pushed. Wm. Hergott who has been run- ning the Grip Hotel in Seaforth for some time has disposed of the busi- ness to a Mr. • Kirkpatrick of London, who takes possession next week.
