He thought, however, that a man should be kept at the fire hall night and day, but it was pointed out that the engine was always at a fire before steam could be got up, and besides this the man giving an alarm can just asquickly light the engine fire as to wake up another man to do it.

THE HEALTH CIRCULAR.—Dr. Shaw, as Medical Health Officer. has issued his annual announcement, which has been distributed to the people. It em- bodies a number of good suggestions which should be acted upon as soon as possible. Premises cannot be cleaned up, of course, until the frost is put, but the matter should be attended to promptly'. when it can be done. An important suggestion in the circular is the referende to dry earth closets, and 'as the council_44 likely to make these compulsory ne "kt year, residents should govern themselves accordingly. All the heajth 13recau t ions that are possible should be heartily concurred in by the townspeople. ROYALTEMPLARS—Tbere was a large turnout at the regular meeting on Tuesday evening, and one initiation.— On account of the absence of some of the officers, the places had to be filled for the occasion by persons who had not the opportunity of knowing the work well. This prevents the work from being done as proficiently as it otherwise would be. A lively discus- sion took place on the manner in which the initiation ceremony is performed. Some good suggestions were thrown out by several members of the order. Miss Hamilton was elected Secretary to fill the vacancy caused by removal of Mr Trouse. Miss M. Shannon was elected organist. Two members were :admitted by card from Ailsa Craig Council. On the 6th of April the Cru- saders are expected to open a crusade in the town.

Further particulars of their visit may be had from the large bills posted around town.

No rest rictions are i3laced upon those who desire to attend, and the officers will he glad to have he attendance and sympathy of all who are in harmony with Liberal prinei les. A debate will take place to -night on the abolition of Govern- ment House, the affirm6tive being taken by R. Holmes and Ja.0. ticott, anci the negative by A. E. Coombs and J. Houston, An Explanation In view of the many inconveniences often caused our custo- mers by holding our Semi-annual Millinery Openings on a Saturday, and on account of many who find it impos- sible to get out on that evening, we have concluded to follow the plan adopted in nearly all other towns, and hold our Millinery openings for the future, in the middle of the week. In view of the very backward spring, the almost impassable state id the roads, preventing many from the country, who would wish to come, from getting in, and the late date on which Easter falls this year, we have thought it wise to hold our opening a week or ten days later than usual, and w ill make our first display of the Season's Novelties and Styles in High Class Millinery, on the evening of Thursday, April 4th and following Friday and Saturday. Miss Simpson has prepared a magnificient stock of Artistic Hats and Bonnets, and no lady wishing to keep posted in the latest styles can afford to miss seeing the display. On Thursday evening the store will close at 6 o'clock, to en- able us to complete the interior decorations, and will re- open at 8 o'clock. With more room, better facilities for showing goods, and the brightest, choicest stock we have ever had, we can pro- mise you a display in every department that will 1..e well worth coming out to see.

The material is a quiet Brown color, West of England Wors- ted, and is worth in the regular way $18. This last statement requires some explanation, for naturally when a man offers an article for $10 which he claims is worth $18, people come to the conclusion that either the article is being sold under cost or that there is something wrong with the goods. Now, as to the first suggestion, we are not in business to sell below cost, if we were our business experience would be short and sad. Then again, as to the second suggesti Al, the ma- terial in question is perfect in color, in weave, in fact perfect altogether, and the only reason that we can give why the goods can be sold at such a figure. is It was Bought Right.
