The hardware store of Tra- quair & Lindent’ield was entered by climbing up a ladder and entering a window of the second storey at the rear of the building. The contents of the cash register, which amount ed to about ten dollars, was taken. The cash register was not locked but was pried open by the thieves. In addition to the money several boxes of 22 bullets, both long and short, were taken as well as several razors. In spite of the fact that the store had on display many valuable articles for the Christmas trade these were not molested. At Melville & Simmons garage en trance was made through a rear win dow six to eight .eet above ground. The rear end of an old was placed against the wall and ter climbing the greasy frame trance was made through the win dow after knocking down various articles that had been placed in the window sill. Mr. Simmons noticed the open window when coming to work in the morning. Here the thieves stole a car battery and re moved a rack containing a number of bottes of oil from the front of the building to the rear, emptied several of the bottles and carried off several others. Two empty bottes were sub sequently found in front of Mr. Hec tor Taylor’s a short distance south of town. The cash box in the office was not touched. Valuable tools .and other accessories were left un molested. Entrance was also made to the confection booth of Mr. S. J. V. Cann At that place the door was forced 'open and the thieves helped them selves to a box of cigars, several -small packages, a ' box of chewing "•gum and some chocolate bars. The loss was. reported to Goderich ;the following morning and County ‘Constable Gundy was down and in vestigated. A number of clues have been obtained and it is expected that the guilty parties- will soon be plac ed under arrest. $ANTA CLAUS FUND There are only a few days left to make your contribution to the Santa Claus fund.

There is some agitation to return the old council together with the members, of tlm Board of Education by acclamation and -thus save the municipality the expense of an election which amounts to approximately $200. The coun cil this year seems to have carried out their duties fairly satisfactorily and in view of the present depres sion the feeling prevails amongst many of the ratepayers that the town woud profit by returning the mem bers of all boards without the ex pense of an election. On tile other hand the name of W. D. Sanderses being mentioned as a probable con testant for the reeveship and Mr. John Taylor has signified his inten tion of standing for the council. The members -of the Board of Education whose term expires this year but who are eligible for re-election are Eli Coultis, Thos. Jones, W. H. Penhalo and S. M‘. Banders.
