AUGUST 8,1902, 8 8 8 The Postman tership • Dame rumor has it that the urbane eli- tor of our local cotemporary will solve the Podmastership problem by taking the of- fice himself. The News -Record would not objeot to his appointment, not by any man- ner of means, for we are pleased to see • more than the crumbs fall to newspeper men who have borne the burden and heat of the day. We believe, moreover, he would make a good postmaster, though all of his good qualities would have to shine forth to enable him to give ae perfect satisfsotion as .does Mr A Porter and his able aseistant, Mise Aggie Porter .-News-Record. ' This is very kindly Gelid, and we appreoi- ate it, hoping that the same friendlinees may characterize „future dommeet from the same source. We admit also the truth of the last sentence, tor better service cannot be given than the publio has received. We could diepoee of the rumor in less than ten word; but the matter euggeets little discussion that may not be amiss. A comfortable government sit oation, at fair remuneration, is easily preferable to the perplexities, annoyances and uncertain- ties of the newspaper butanes; it certainly would not be any harder work, and the fin- ancial returns would at lest be certain;'. whichthey are not in neweipaper work.• • But the people of West Huron elected the editor of this paper to be their parliament- ary representative, and we assume that the people of this or any other constituency have a right to expect their representative to be true to whatever trust i3 reposed in them. The editor " believethat certain prineiplee ehould govern public men, and one of these is that a public man should not appoint himself to office simply because he has the power in his own hands to do so. - He intends to live up to that principle, Bud we oan, therefore, assure our cotem without any ill.feeling or mental reserva- tion, that Dame Rumor is incorrect in this instance, as she has been before concerning thepost office, and is quite likely to be again, before a postmaster is appointed or the new building completed. tour n Council Regular meetingwas held on Monday. - The uounty olerk sent a letter stating that the county rate would be $596.

Geo, Cochrane,foreman of the Salt Wells at Stapleton, has been in- strumental in saving several lives of late two, this spring, ancl others in years gone by, and we n3ost certainly think he is deserving of that noedal, and trust some action may be taken whereby he may receive it.

Reid.to 'Lomat° on Monday. THE WALK BROKE. -The men laying the gro.nolithic walk on the 'west side of Victoria Street, were com- Pelled to quit Thursday evening, owing to the rain, after they had got up to Mayor Jackson's store. The walk was protected in the usual way, so that .pedestrians could not use it, but on Friday morning it was found that a large crack extended across four of the outer blocks just in front of the post office. It looked as if some one had stepped on ihcausing tbe unset cement to break: or it may have been caused by the filling beneath settling, owing to the rain , At any rate it was, nec- essary to replace the blocks. GOOD MEMORY. -It is not every- body who is blessed with a good met& ory, but some people have an excep- tional faculty in this respect. One of these is Mr E. Wise, the well-known market gardener of town. In the or- dinary course of his business he finds it necessary to book a good many items, but he transacts all his business around town .first, carrying no book and mak- ing no entries of anykind until hecom- pletes all his deliveries, when he site down at home, and simply from mem- ory enters up &lithe transactions of the day. This is a pretty good thing to be able to do -and do it correctly- espec- ially for a man in his t3Oth year. THE COAL TRADE. -The strike among the coal miners of Pennsylvania Is going to be a. very serious affair to all users- of coal.' and the prise will be aimed "out of sight." What the strike means may be gathered from the fact that last year, at:this time, Harland Bros had deliyered obtain $3000 worth of coal to their town customers. This year they have hardly delivered any at all. As it is impossible t& get coal all they can do is simply to book orders and wait until such time as the strike is over and coal can be had. The large American cities are all on short ra- tions, and it will take considerable time. even when the mines are workiree full time,to catch'upwith thedeficiency.. CORONATION FESTIVITIES. -To • he loyal to that great fete the Corona- tion of our King on Saturday next. the ladies of the Ontario" street church intend holding a social in honor of the event. in the basement of the church, - this Friday evening, at eight.

After the regular routine business was gone through with by the Temperance League the chair 'was vecated by their president, and W.

Henry, of Oshawa, (a vvell-known apple dealer) drove through the country in this neighborhood to see cicsely what the apple crop was. like. Mr Cantelon says that before going out he had entertained the idea that there would be a large yield of fruit suitable for export, but his °beer a - tions onTuesday materially changed is opinion. A much larger percenta e than be anticipated is injured by sc b and spot, due to the wet weather, an Itherefore it will not be fit for export. He says the Dutchess, Baldwin and Golden Russett are fairly good. Mr Savage, travelling freight agent of the C. P. R., who was here this week, stet - les that applemen in different parts of the Province, have informed him that the same unfaverable conditions pre- vail elsevvbere. SPECIAL MEEG. - A special meeting of ,the Collegiate Board was held in the Councilehamber on Tues- day afternoon,to coasider the resigna. tion of W. E. Rand, Il A.. Prof, of Mathematies.
