WALKERTON EDITOR
SERIOUSLY ILL
From the Walkerton Herald-Times
we learn of the serious illness of its
editor, Mr. J. A. Wesley, who suffered
a slight stroke from which he has
shown only meagre signs of recovery.
Mr. Wesley is a clever writer and
many of his news articles carry a hum
orous vein, a gift which very few pos
sess but many envy.
While in Mr. Frank Eidt, he has an
able assistant, who is very capable of
publishing a newsy weekly, we look
forward to the time when Mr. Wesley
is recovered and occupies the editorial
chair once more.

An Out of the Ordinary
Birth Announcement—
The writing of a birth notice or an

lowing some recognized form by the
different papers. One which appeared
in a repent issue of. the Globe and
Mail, however, does not follow any re
cognized form and without a doubt
wins the prize for its originality. Here
it is:
