THE FARMER
WAS ANNOYED
The Post met a farmer sanding
on the corner outside of this Oillce,
and the farmer was moved to do a
little protesting, Not about the
price of hogs intithe way in which
some of the people drive their
horses. Pointing to one driver of a
rig he said this:
-e"11 I were that horse I would
want to get out of the harness and
kick that driver. and I might also
feel like biting him, He's a regu-
lar aid confirmed jerker is that
driver, Watch for a minute and
you will see, For no reason at all
he keeps jerking on the lines, and I
dare say he will do that all day and
you can imagine what that has done
to that horse's mouth. If that ant -
mal ever was a good driver that
sort of treatment has 51Poiled it,
and the worst of it is that driver
might teal you he uses his horse
well, feeds it enough, .cleans it and
bedsproperly, i, p operly. He may do all
those things but he is a misereele
driver,

IOnly One Paper
Only one paper per week is uow
being issued at Goderich, namely
the Signal Star, and the mailing
liste are being adjusted to sue: the
new conditions. The size of the
weekly edition will vary acro -thug
to requirements from S to 10, 12 or
more Pages, The amalgamation
was affected during the past sura -
1 mer, and both the Signal and the
I Star were published at the Same
place, using practically the same
reading matter, Owing to the heavy
increased costs of publishing a
newspaper this was brought about.
Right At Home
By A. ,13,
I see where people bead for
Spain, (while light at home I shall
remain), they're going :o fight out
there; I also read about: where
some, will get themselves a spear
and gun, while, others take the air
RPerhaps my
e s views are , old tind
tame, for I don't went to go to
Spain, I like oetng left alone: for I
Bad out most every day, that I don't
need to go away, there's ever much
nearer hone.
¶ I have to light to bailiff now, or
eh will etze my brindle cow, and
jump upon my farm; my creditors
are not content, they hound me for
their bills and rent, they'd grab
things from my barn,
¶ The man who sells me feed and
eboP, says that my shopping there
must stop, unless I pay my bill; the
drug store man has shut me off,
no matter if I sneeze and cough,
and shiver with a chill,
¶ They'd take my stone boat it
they could, they'd gladly grab my
pile or wood, and swipe my cross -cut
saw; and I was threatened just to-
day, unless I galloped forth to pay,
they'd tUe me up with law,
¶So when a lot of things get
tough, and people start to us. me
rough, my duty is quite plain; I get
enough of war right here, encoun-
ter every kind of fear—without go-
ing off to SPair.
