WANTED ANTD THEM TO SHARE.
One little girl who comes m, from
her home in the.. country' to school,
on learning that Jack Miner was to
address the children of tree Public
school '`on Tuesday forenoon was
seized with the desire to have her
brothers and sisters at home have the
-privilege of hearing hen and, the
telephone lines being out of oemmis-
sion, she walked all the four miles
home to tell them about it and
brought them back with her. That,s.
a young lady who will succeed' iir
her chosen calling; or we are no
judge.
A TALK ON FLOWERS:
A slim crowd foregathered at
the council chamber on Friday even-
ing, Feb: 17th, to hear, Mr. J. E.
Carter of 'Guelph tell about the
growing oE sweet peas and dahlias..
The meeting was advertised to take
place in Owen Memorial hall, . but,
owing to an accident to 'St, Paul's
church heating apparatus, it had to,
be held: in the council chamber and
it may be that some were' tot aware';
of the change.
Those who were present, however,
were •well. repaid for • tit;eir atten-
dance, as Mr, Carter's talk was just
a plain,: easily -understood explana:•'
tion of < how to go about the
growing of these two varieties of
flowers, beginning with the prepara-
tion of the ground. It eves particu-
larly helpful to amateur 'gardeners.
During., the evening Mr. Ilartry of
Seaforth threw a number of pictures
on the screen. At the conclusion Mr.

gave an lecture in Wesley

Epworth League.
Tho church was crowded and- for
an hour and a half Mr. Miner kept
his audience interested- as he told
then, about his way with wild 'fowl.,
a way that soon makes them tame.
He said he had been asked -on one
oecassion "how he came to have a
speaking ecquantance with the wild
goose?" "I do not know any wild
geese," he remarked; "but I am
happy to say that I have a speaking
acquaintance with . the :intelligent

A BUSINESS CHANGE,
Mr. W, J,7, O'Neil and Miss Win-
nifred O'Neil have bought. out "The
Corner Grocery,' for.: the past two
years owned and managed by Me. F.

her father's grocery for the past
two or three years, 'since -his health

in`with her, and they are taking the
business over and will continue car-
rying on 'together For a time at

We are glad to see the young peo-
ple taking over the 'businesses of
their fathers: when they step out and
we wish these young people thebest

Mr. Wigg has not yet made defin-

what he will do: It
will be a matter for regret, however,
if this change means his •removal
from town, as he end his family

which it was done.

"All' Nations', Tea," in " the school

to be quite a success, too, and es,a
result the young ladies made nice
little sum or money.,
Booths were arranged all around
the room,,, each one representing a
different nation and pretty girls
wearing the national garb, dispensed'
things to eat characteristic of, the
country -represented.For instance,
from the United States baked beans,
brown bread and coffee were obtained
and the pretty coleens in the Irish
booth served you baked potatoes and.
buttermilk. You got tea and little
cakes from -Japan,-'spagetti from

"The birds Will not only ,return

them but they : will recognize the

declarations o:f the speaker, and ' he
recited incidents to illustrate his
theory.

nearly all of which are his friends
and `are working for his good. His
