WHY NOT HAVE
THE SAME HERE.
Sarnia council have found a nee, -
way which they hope will win much
trade for the town from thefarmers
that have been dealing with other
towns in the district. Sometime
ago, it was suggested that the
council should provide money for
the erection of a suitable market
building, which should be fitted up
with rest and refreshment rooms,
for the use of the farmers, and their
wives, when they came to town
with their produce. The council
has ordered that tenders be called
for, and the building will be built
in the near future.

MR. MERCHANT DO YOU
SEE TEE POINT.
An Exchange tells the story of a
boy who was sent to market with
a sack full of rabbits, [lingering
about the town all day, and coming
back at night without selling them.'
When asked by his mother why he
had not sold the, rabbits, he said
that no one had asked him what
was in the sack. liow many mer-
chants are like this little boy?
They have plenty of goods for sale
but fail to tell people what is in the
sack, If you expect to sell goods
in this way and age, you must
open your sack and keep shouting
the merits of your stock in trade,
Let Tile New Ere help you,
POSTAL INFRACTIONS,
The lack of acknowledge on the
part of newcomers to Canada has
occasioned considerable growth in
the practice of enclosing in news-
papers and periodicals, letters and
other articles of mail matter, an
offence which renders the senders
liable to a penalty, punishable by a
fine from $10 to $40. The offenders
are largely Old Country people A
great many copies of papers ad-
dressed for delivery in the United
States are mailed without sufficient
postage. These papers cannot be
sent forward unless postage is fully
paid 'at the he rate of one centP er 4 oz.
or fraction thereof to reach 'separ-
ate address. Itis suggestedthat
those desiring to send newspapers
to their friends in the United States
make sure that the full postage is
paid.

MAYOR GIBBINGS
LEAVING TOWN.
The citizens were indeed sur-
prised when word lovas passed
around town that His Worship the
Mayor, was going to go. to Winni-
peg, where a position awaits him.
It will be remembered Clinton near-
ly lost him a year or so ago but
he decided to complete his munici-
pal work here. He will bean charge
of the April Council meeting and
will then probably resign the office
The New Era is indeed sorry to
bear of his removal as he has been
an active %worker in politics, lodge,
choir (work, and municipal affairs.
Mrs. Gibbings and family will not
move West in the meantime,

Fowler who conducted a jewelery bus-
iness here, and who later conducted
the business himself. About thirty
years ago, 'however; he moved to Galt`
and there for many years was engaged
in the same line. • Nor some years past
he has been living privately. His.
death came suddenly after only a
short illness, though he had not been
enjoying the beat of health for some
time, Mr. bawler was in town last
autumn attending the funeral of his
brother, the late Francis Fowler. when
he met many of his old time friends
and associates.
Mr, Fowler is survived by his wife
and one sister, Miss. Fowler of town
who is now the only surviving mem-
ber of the family. The funeral took
place. in Galt,
