OUTSIDE ORDERS.—We often hear
complaints
oY I
local
citizens giving
orders to city firms for various kinds of
merchandise, but Jackson Bros. have
not much reason to complain on this
'score, The firm believe in continuous 4ad 'ertising and are living examples of
th•-preaching. Year after year their
trade increases as their advertising
expenditure extends. They have more
than a local trade and spend consider-
able money in printers' ink outside I he
local press. Last week Mr. T. Jackson,
Jr., spent a day or two in London and
Toronto and secured softie $1,400 worth
of orders for clothing. This demon-
strates that all country towns require
is business then of energy to compete
with city firms. Jackson Bros. have
an army of workmen and women
eniployed and THE NEWS-Rncoen con-
gratulates the firm on its continued
success and ever increasing business.

SPECKLED TROUT IN MARCH. --A
short time since town clerk ('oats
secured an elegant and costly* fishing
outfit for several citizens. The rods,
lines, hooks, baskets, &c., were simply
"out of sight," and one might reason-
ably suspect a strong enough tempta-
tion to induce one to fish "out of
season.' Last year several local sports-
men, well up in angling, caught some
excellent specimens of speckled brook
trout and with the aid of the most
modern tackle this year promised even
more startling results. The other day
the editor was asked the question :
"Can you keep a secret, ?" We replied
that we could if it was not of public
concern. We were assured that the
"secret" was of a "strictly private
nature," and were forthwith shown a
dozen or more nice, fresh speckled
trout, the largest of which would he 15
inches. Others who had been shown
the "illegal catch" deplored such an
open violation of the flsh laws and
" were anxious to ascertain all particn-
lars; how, when and where the speck-
led beauties were caught ; just how the
hole in the ise was cut and as to
whether Cameron's fishing grounds
had beer- invaded by day or by night'
it was urged by some that legal pro-
secution should be instituted, while
others didn't blame the alleged viola-
tors while owning such a tempting
fishing outfit. Legal proceedings were
about to he instituted when it leaked
out that Mr. Walter Coats had the
same day received a consignment of
frozen speckled trout from London.
They had been legally caught and the
well planned joke accordingly explod-
ed.
