WATER SHORTAGE
AT CEMETERY
Reeve McKibbon, Chairman of the
Cemetery Committee, at Council
meeting on Tuesday evening, report-
ed that quick sand has again filled
the bottom of the well at the cem-
etery, and although the water pipe
had been twice shortened, there is
,trouble in getting the pimp to Work.
'Dna ,solutions were proposed. One
to lay pipes front the corner of Jos-
ephine street, at a probable cosi of
.81300, and the other to have a deep
well drilled, at an estimate cost of
$500, This is purely an estimaate, as
it may cost more or ldss, depending
on depth of drilling. Council were
unanimous that the appearance of the
Cemetery Must be maintained, that
etbli,gatiots to plot owners upheld,
and so the Committee were instruct-
ed to have a well drillled, if It supply
•of water cannot be had otherwise,
tCOMMERCIAL LIGHT

A DANGEROUS CORNER
On Friday a Gdderich car turned
over at the corner of the. Lucknow
road at what is known as the Currie
farm, and was pretty badly wrecked,
So far as can be learned, no one was
serimislie injured„ Within the last
few years,- more than one car has
tented over at this corner, where the
road makes an abrupt turn, and a car
corning, at a fair rate of speed, driven
by a stranger to the situation, has
every chance of coming to grief A
Checker -board ,sign at this spot is an
absolute necessity for public safety.
These and other warning signs dot
the highways at dangerous spots and
no doubt are appreciated by motor-
ists. Why cannot the powers -that -be
erect one at this corner, before a fat-
ality occurs?

CIRCUS IN TOWN
• What can give a greater thrill to
the small boy than a real circus, with
its band, its gaily deconned trucks,
wild animals, and the impressable
clown? in the vernacular of the sante
small boy, "There ain't no such
thing." Monday furnished inuple
proof, for from the time the first
neck of Barnett Bros. Circus arrived
at the Town park, the small boy feast-
ed his eyes on the methodical meth-
ods of the men, as they unloaded the
paranhenglia, restored order out of a
jumble, and hoisted the big canvas.
True, there was not the same oppor-
limity for it job, with the promise of
a free ticket and which often ended
in a vain hunt for a visionary man
at the other side of the big tent. But
what, of that. Barnett Bros. Circus
is a modest affair, travels with some
trusty trucks, has, all the equipment
of the big 'affairs, even to side shows,
a modest eollection of wild animals,
and regulation barkers. The ring per-
formance, which is the real thing, is
most entertaining, with some first-
class trapese work, tight and loose
it walking, while the dogs and part-
ies put on a real show. From a num-
ber of legitimate causes there was
not the attendance the show merits
-
The officials were exceptionally con-
scious of fulfilling every obligation
entered into, in which they differed
