I)r. Jamieson is away on a holiday trip to (.Georgetown and Barrie, Dr, Thompson of Toronto is attending to his practice until his return.

Showers of rain would now bo welcome. Mr. I. Moore had a bee last Tuesday raising and levelling his barn, pre- paratory to putting a stone founda- tion under it. When 1Ir. Moore has the job completed, with cement sta- bles, he will have one of the finest f:u•ui buildings in this neighborhood. Mr. Geo. Cottle, while working on the improvements on Mrs. Winfield's house, had the misfortune to cut his foot with an adze some time ago. Mr. Cottle was quite weak from loss of blood before the wound was dressed and the flow of blood stopped, If medical skill had not been secured at once, he might have bled. to death. He is still laid up and quite weak. Jas. Donnelly, the drover, ltacl two carloads of stock cattle shipped to ,tial from Toronto last Saturday. By the way,Mr. Donnell met with quite a Y loss last Monday. Being in Wingham, he purchased a box of tomato plants, and when he got home it was too late to set them out so he set them on tho sill of the drive -house. In the umorn- in • the rats had theplants completely devoured. p Y Mrs. Winfield is having her house extensively repaired and improved. It now stands on a centent foundation and she has had one of Mr. Cottle's handsome verandahs bnilt in front, which when painted will greatly acid to the beauty of the place. Mr. H. Rintoul has also had a verandah built in front of his residence. Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Tnmoth have had their dwel- lings reship led and Mr. Morrison g g ison has had part of his roof reshingled. Mr. T. Kew, our enterprising har- ness maker, has purchased a harness stock in Wingham and is at present going over there in the morning and returning in the evening. There is some talk that he will ultimately re- move to Wingham, but we do not think that this is the case. In the meantime, Mrs. Kew attends to cns- tomers during the day, and Tom does any repairing which may be brought in, in the evening after his return from n 'Wingham. Mr. Edmonds, the Methodist minis- ter, is away to Conference. The ser- vice was cancelled in his church on Sunday evening. Mr, Edmonds said he would not secure a substitute for that evening, so as to give the people an opportunity to hear Mr. Dunn, who is about to leave the village. It was rumored that Mr. Edmonds had made arrangements at Conference to leave Whitechurch this year, but the rumor ,is without foundation. The truth is that the chairman of the dis- trict, thinking that the salary at Whitechurch circuit was too small for Mr. Edmonds. with his large family, was making arrangements to have him removed to a more -lucrative cir- cuit, entirely unknown to Mr. Ed- monds, who was as much surprised as anyone, when he heard of it. The G. T. R. has a very obliging official here, in the person of the sta- tion agent. If you do not make a point to be at the station when trains are due, you are more than likely to find the door locked, and even then he is not always there for the writer re - Members once taking a lady to meet the morning train on a very rainy morning, and on arriving at the sta- tion found the door locked, and sev- eral travellers huddled under the pro- jecting eaves, to protect themselves from the rain. It was then five min- utes to train time, and Mr. Agent did ' not appear at all. Again, the writer knows of a person who called at the office at three o'clock in the afternoon for an express parcel. The door was locked, the person could not wait long, and had to return again although he lived some distance away. There are many other instances, but these will suffice. We think that a person who has under his charge a public tele- , graph office (which the public sub- , scribed to in order to get it there) an express office, a railway ticket office, and who has to attend to all the busi- ness connected with all in -coming and out -going freight and baggage, should keep his office open during business hours, and when it is remembered that the storekeepers at Fordyce, St. Augustine and Langside, receive their shipments at Whitechurch it seems all the more imperative that he should be found at his post. Some of these men live from 3 to 10 miles away and have been known to have to make two trips for the same lot of goods. An operator at a distance might wear his key out calling Whitechurch, for all our man seems to care, or a person here who wishes to send a message, be it ever so urgent, will have to hunt up the operator and perhaps will find him miles away seated on a log, fight- ing mosquitoes and fishing for trout, or perhaps playing tennis at a distant farmhouse. We hope that he will take this gentle hint that a long-suf- fering public will not always put up - with such nonsense. - What's the good of keeping from him Any gods things you may see, That will lift hisload of labor Like Rocky Mountain Tea, Ask your druggist - a Grey.
