Master Mado Whiddon cele- brated his birthday; last Friday even- ing by inviting a few of his friends to it nice little party, and Miss Flossie Pollock celebrated a similar event on Saturday. We rem et to have to refer again to that pernicious habit of cigarette smoking indulged in by many of the youths of our .villa,ge and take this oPportunity of sounding it note of warning to dealers who sell to minors in spite of the fact, that the la,w pro- vides a penalty of from $10 to $50 for such offences. It is really too bad to see boys of from ten to sixteen years indulging in this most degrading of habits and we helm something will be done to stop the sale of such to our youth by compelling vendors to pro- cure a license to sell the article. It has been established beyond gainsay that this habit is followed by worse consequences, both moral and physi- cal, than any other and parentsshould see to it that they do their duty in ' trying to step it. Division Court was held here last Saturday, His Honor Judge Doyle presiding. The legal fraternity was represented by Messrs, E. Campion, K. C.; and W. Proudfoot of Goderich.
