Wm. Tindall, a former resident of this
looality ttlritee-from Olive, Manitoba :—
We are having a fine Winter so far and
although it froze up early we have not
had•enow euough to make good sleighing.
The. wheeling has been splendid as it
does not get soft enough to malfe' mud.
Times are considerably livelier this Fall
but, prices are still low. We had pretty
good crepe and a good many farmers are
holding their grain for a better market
as the banks here will advance about 75
per cent. of tbe cash value of the wheat.
Thisgives us; a good ohaoae to hold for
higher prime. The farmers are going in
more for :took each year as thia is a good
oonntry for that business.

What a peculiar effect the thought of

evidently a very patriotic part of the
empire.
