Ho r L CHANGE. 3. 3. C. Miller,
'Late ,:of Grand Rapids, (and son of Mr
Iias.� Mijler,atown) an experienced hotel
keeper, has.purchased the Grand Un-
ion, -and took possession on W ednes-
day; the outbuildings at the rear will
• all be torn dawn, and commodious
sample rooms erected in their place;
`30'.MMi11er intends .to pert a bus on the
,-,dad, and has eniaged Mr Hoflich to
run it. • We understand that Mr Find-
lay will remain in town, for the pres-
ent•at•any rate, and has rented Mr W.
Dempsey's house.
NOMINATIONS.—A ratepayer contri-
butes the following :—In a' few days
the citizens of our town will be called
upon to nominate persons to fill the
offices of Mayor and councillors, and
also school trustees: There is often
too much nonsense done in putting up
the names of persons who cannot
qualify, and others who will not give
their r ime to serve the public as they
should do. They often boast at the
nomination that 'they will . do their
duty, but theirintentions are like the
snow before the sun, they soon pass
away. Let some of the business men
come out manfully, and' put their
shoulder to the municipal machine,
and help it along. You all feel that
the taxes are high enough, and it is
your duty, as well as your neighbor's,
to spend a little time for the public
and yourself, and not run away with
the idea that the name of councillor
and attending the monthly meetings
is all the duty that is required of you,
and a little pulling for a piece of side-
walk here and there.
THE CHRISTMAS SEASON.—The wea-
ther may be mild and the grass green,
but the Christmas season is upon us.
The stores tell it -never have the stores
ofCiiiton been so full of pretty, useful
a cheap articles. The older people
•t,tnuot get out of recognizing the fes-
ti'e eason of goodwill, even if they
*Mild. They have taught the child -
"ten to look on the season as one of
present -giving and present -receiving,
though the greatest of these is giving,
and the idea will remain strong in ev-
cry family till the Santa Claus of 1894
is a person of the Fast. Let not the
excuse of "hard times" prevent anyone
Irak: observing the time-honored cus-
tom of making others hatepy. Our ad-
vertising columns should be carefully
consulted by buyers before they start
out
NOTES.—The two daughters of Mr R.
Reynolds.who had been suffering from
a mild form of fever, are now much
better. Mr J. C. Stevenson had his
leg placed in plaster of pat is, and is
now able to sit up. Next Tuesday, be-
ing Christmas, will of course be ob-
served as a holiday. The municipal
nominations will be held on the 31st
this year, 'the law defining the last
Monday of the year as the legal day.
Miss Anna Holmes will spend Christ-
mas with her parents at St. Catharines.
The town bandpayed outside on Sat-
urday .,ight.,"much tPie e delight of
SCROOL NOTES.—The County Board
of Examiners will meet in the Model
School here to• orrow. Mr Coombs,
of the Collegiate, went to his home at
Georgetown •dn Friday, owing to the
dangerous fulness of his mother; the
Board of Trustees allow him to remain
until after the holidays. The examin-
rthen of 11fie Modellites, which has been
in.pxogrkss for several days, will be
»onclitded this week. Miss Taylor, one
of the efficient teachers of the Public

leave of absence, owing to a throat
miction; it has been granted her, and

'e meantime. The schools close for
liolidayt to -day and re -open on the

bridle, they ran away; Mr Geo. Cottle
hung on to the lines, but could not
bring them up; they stopped of their
own accord after going through a wire
fence behind the mill. Many people
are evidently not aware of the fact
that after the 15th of Dec. it is illegal
to shoot squirrels, partridges, &c.; "fur -
