Friday, Saturday and Monday last .were three of the ueiest days Wingham hes seen for sour som4 time. The splendid sleighing brought a number of people to town to do thelij Christmas shopping and, with extra as istants, the bueiness people found it di cult to wait on their numerous custon4ers, especially was this the case on Saurclay. In our nearly nineteen years in Wingham, we never before seen such a rush at the Wingham post office as was SY case on Saturday - The assistants, Maces Fisher, Cummings and Patterson, doge their work well and are deserving of be hearty thanks of people of the to and district. Tho apartments are so email that it would almost try the p Plume of Job to do work in a pleasine way, but Winghem's past office officials1 have always given ex- cellent service. Bluch annoyance is caused by two or gree members of the one family calli tg for mail matter. Parents should make it a rule to have only one member • f the family call at the post office.
