Christmas s opping.
There are many thi ,gs to be urged in
favor of early shop .ing. Those who
begin buying Christmas gifts when the
goods are first advertsedhave the ad.
vantage of a fresh, f and diversified
market. Stocks that re in the last few
days pawed and pulle over and drawn
from until they are oiled, disordered
and incomplete ares ely more tempt-
ing when they are fir laid out fresh,
spiok and span and ne , If all the pre-
sents could bo bough and laid away
ahead of the holidays, here surely would
be a comfortable sena of duty well per-
formed that wonid a d to the holiday
cheer. Wingham m rohants will lay
articles away until leriatinas on pay-
ment of a reasonable deposit, and this
is an aceommodatio of which many
might take advantage.

The Carriage Factory B
y-Law.
At the mnnicipaelections in January ary
the property'owneFactory
becalled upon
to record their votes on an important
by-law, providing )r a loan of $5,000 to
a company to be ruown as the Wing -
ham Carriage Cu ,`and for the issue of
debentures covering a period of ten
years to raise the a ount. This will be
repaid to the town n len equal annual
payments, without i terest. The com-
pany, of which Mr Wm, Dore is the
head, will be compo., d of practical men
and men of business experience in this
line, who are capabl': of the successful
management of this 'important manu-
facturing industry.
Many reasons migh • be advanced as to
why the by-law sholad be carried and
such a worthy enteryrise kept in the
town and given all red;onable assistance.
The present premise and plant of Mr.
Dore are entirely ina quate to meet the
demands of his rapid increasing trade,
and ho has for some te been obliged to
turn away large orde for want of room
and facilities for get ng out the work.
By the proposed addi on to the building
and the installation new machinery
the company will be laced in a position
to handle business th t Low of necessity
goes elsewhere. T en an increased
number of hands ill be employed,
starting for the first and second years
with about twenty ..;eu, and afterwards
twenty-five; these 11 be given employ -
mem for at least t months in each
year -
Tho valve of the ' remises, plant, eto ,
will, when the exte sions are completed,
be not less than $11,000, and the town
will be amply seen ed. The byelaw will
be published in d.: time and the rate-
payers will have a opportunity of p -r-
suing its provisio a. It is hoped that
this question will e given due consider
atiov. Tho amen t asked for is small
and it must be ens ly seen that the grant
ing of thio loan w ' 1 be a decided advan-
tage to the town. Wo understand that
