This we believe is a move- ment in the right direction, and in full sympathy with all organized labour the world over. It is also a falling into line of all the general stores in town. We also think that a few extra hours relaxation in the week will make us more fit for busi- ness and consequently better able to look after our customers' interests.

Thompson secured the first charter for Erie & Niagara Railway and the Great Western Railway sur- rendered their lease of it in 1570. This road underwent changes in fortune, emerging as a link in the Canada Southern Railway, but to -day survives under the domination of Michigan Cen- tral Railroad. From this embryo period -when wooden rails and horse cars connected the "Falls" with Chippawa-- to our own day, imagine the perspec- tive offered to the retentive and vigor- ous memory of an eighty -year young veteran like genial John. He has seen a lot of Ontario in the making, and a host of travellers and transients have seen him in "Great Western" and "Grand Trunk" trains. It has been declared that the travelling man of other days, with fourteen years' exper- ience on the rail -devoted seven years to his business and the other seven waiting for trains at Harrisburg. From this staid burg Mr. Quirk watched the Wellington, Grey & Bruce Ry. extend northward while he officiated as con- ductor over each section when laid down. Elora and Fergus were reached in July, 1870, Palmerston 1871 and Southampton in 1873. They considered themselves fortunate if the trains did not leave the track more than three times a week, as the new portion was used without delay and formality as a means of accomplishing a further leg of the journey. ! Prior to that time the tedious and lumbering stage coach was the only long distance substitute for sleank's mare in reaching a. hundred towns and villages which the Grand Trunk Ry. serves to -day, thus aiding a battalion of drummers in the vital matter of earning a living. John Quirk was long a respected citizen of Kincardine, enc ' covered the run from there to Brantford and Hamilton for twenty years.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT 1. The population of Canada is in- creasing by leaps and bounds.and no new land is being created. Real es- tate must therefore increase i , value. 2. The cost of material ar.d labor is constantly rising. Houses can therefore tic ver be cheaper than at present. The above facts are as plain as any thing can possibly he, and thP moral is to invest in a home and DO IT NOW: We have listed this week: -- 1 A 100 acre farm near Wing - ham 2 A fine dwelling with 5 bed rooms in Wingham 3 A well situated dwelling with good stable) in Wing - ham 4 On. of the best farms in Culross 5 Choice building lots in Wing - ham 6 A good farm in Culross Activity in biainess and Real Es- tate transfers is a sign of prosperity and Wingham has it, Ritchie & Cosens REAL ESTATE AND INSURANCE WINGHAM, ONTARIO.
