NOT SQUARE.— Wednesday of last week a new regulation went into effect whereby the 0. P. R. agent at Walton will not meet the night train, and the station will be closed after 6 p. m. The C. P. R. is closing all the stations on the Guelph and Goderich line with a few exceptions. They are doing this in an endeavor to curtail expenses, but, to say the least, it is an unfair deal to the travelling public, as they are forc- ed to await the arrival of trains in the cold, as all the stations are locked when agent goes off duty. There is evidently room in the Statutes govern- ing railways for amendments regard- ing the rights of the public, Anniversary sermons will be preached in the Walton Methodist church on Sunday, January 2nd at 11 o'clock a. m., and 7 p, m.
