sleighing,—The literary and musical en-
tertainment given by the Clinton Glee
Club,in the Fannsville Methodiat church;
on Tuesday evening of this week, was
largely attended and much appreciated.

PERSONAL. —We regret that we are
soonabout to lose from our midst one of
our old a.nd respected townsmen. We
refer to Mr. A. S. Case, Principal of
School Section No. 10, Hay, and who
has acted in the capacity of teacher for
a number of years, giving excellent satis-
faction and winning for himself at the
same time the confidence, friendship and
esteem of a large circle of friends, and
while we refer to the fact of his having
tendered his resignation as teacher we
would say that it is only for the reason
that he wishes to engage in the mercan-
tile business and that also at the solici-
tation of many of his friends in Cromarty
and neighberhood, at which village he
has recently rented a store which is just
being finished and which will afford
every convenience for the carrying on of
a general store business. We under-
stand that Mr. Case has his new stock
already shipped and intends opening up
the same next week, and we unite •with
his many friends here in wishing him
every success in his new departure.

Hard to make his way in life ;

All his forces in his strife.
Straight ahead and never straying,
All his strenath his purpose in,
Then I cheer him onwards saying,
Strike for all you're worth and win.
Courage, comrade, keep her going,
Keep theanill walling on;
Whether hostile winds are blowing,
Darkness must give way to dawn.
Never mind the adyerse hooting,
Throw your spunky challenge in,
Flold your ground and keep her scooting,
Strike for all you're worth and win.
Whoop her up and never falter,
Never turn you from the strife,
urn your offerings on Ow altar
Of a true and blanialese life.
