Removing to Toronto.—Mr.
Somerville, who recently disposed of
his G.N.W. Telegraph Office here to
accept a position in the office of the
Q. N, W. Superintendent in Toronto,
leaves this week to resume his new
duties. For thirty years Mr. Somer-
ville has held tate G. N. W. and Grand
Trunk agencies in Seaforth and dur-
ing all that time he has proved him-
self one of the most efficient and
obliging officials that this or any
other town in the Province has been
fortunate enough to possess as a
citizen. No event of local or world
wide interest ever transpired that Mr.
Somerville was not among the first
to obtain the news by wire and pest
it for the benefit of the citizens, and
no request for information was ever
efused by him. This trait was par-
icularly exemplified during the years
of the recent great war, and there
are but few families in tonin that
have • not cause, at some time] or an-
other, to thank him for som: act of
kindly consideration and it is with
very sincere regret that Seaforth
views his departure. On Thursday
evening Last Mr. and Mrs. Somerville
were presented with two handsome
easy chairs by the congregation of
,First Presbyterian church, of the ses-
'•eion of which church- Mr. Somerville
has been a member for many years.

Just put your cake upon the still
And you'll get him bye and bye.

But girls don't waste your precious

Now here's a lot of lovely fellows,
Surely you can pick out one.

Wo chance to read this rhyme,

Await you to name the time.
Now show them you can do it
The way is surely clear;
Pick out your man, and bear in nlind
'Tis a long, long time, 'till next leap.

Removing to Toronto.—Mr.
Somerville, who recently disposed of
his G.N.W. Telegraph Office here to
accept a position in the office of the
Q. N, W. Superintendent in Toronto,
leaves this week to resume his new
duties. For thirty years Mr. Somer-
ville has held tate G. N. W. and Grand
Trunk agencies in Seaforth and dur-
ing all that time he has proved him-
self one of the most efficient and
obliging officials that this or any
other town in the Province has been
fortunate enough to possess as a
citizen. No event of local or world
wide interest ever transpired that Mr.
Somerville was not among the first
to obtain the news by wire and pest
it for the benefit of the citizens, and
no request for information was ever
efused by him. This trait was par-
icularly exemplified during the years
of the recent great war, and there
are but few families in tonin that
have • not cause, at some time] or an-
other, to thank him for som: act of
kindly consideration and it is with
very sincere regret that Seaforth
views his departure. On Thursday
evening Last Mr. and Mrs. Somerville
were presented with two handsome
easy chairs by the congregation of
,First Presbyterian church, of the ses-
'•eion of which church- Mr. Somerville
has been a member for many years.

won. The return ' game was played in

That will make your sorrows flee.
Joe Murphy has been patient,
Looking forward to this year,
Now, if some girl would only ask him
'Twould fi11 his heart with cheer.
Joe Lynch is another,
Waiting still in bachelor's row;
He'd accept you in a minute
Anyone would tell you so.
Though,_Tom Morris gives the music
And tends his route each time,
His eyes are for the pretty girls,
We hope that he will shine.
Timothy Lynch, typical farmer,
Has no time for girls at all,
So its plain, your hours are wasted
Whenever on him you call.
Then comes Joe O'Rielly
As patient as can be;
If you girls think that he won't marry
Just ask him once and see. -
George Holland, happy George,
For him a jolly girl should try,
Just put your cake upon the still
And you'll get him bye and bye.
Joe Stapleton still, chores away,
But never late at night. -
So girls please heed my warning
Unless he takes a ,fright.
Lou O'Reilly, returned soldier,
He smiles and that with vim,
But girls don't waste your precious
time, -
A Dublin girl got him.
Joe Murray, Jim Sloan, Pete Ma-
loney and John Louis Malone,
Now here's a lot of lovely fellows,
Surely you can pick out one.
So, all you girls of St. Columban
Wo chance to read this rhyme,
The bachelors of the township
Await you to name the time.
Now show them you can do it
The way is surely clear;
Pick out your man, and bear in nlind
'Tis a long, long time, 'till next leap.
