ment of Hugh Edgar, of Howick, a son
of the deceased gentleman aforemention-
ed. Mr, Edgar should make a useful
member at the Board as he is well post-
ed on many points owing to his father's
long incumbency. Instead of Board
meeting on the last Saturday of each
month at Gerrie they will in future
convene on the 1st Tuesday of the
month in the Company's head office,
Wroxeter. The change of place is made
necessary so as to have at band any
documents on file in case of necessity or
books of reference which it was found
impossible to carry to a meeting ontsioe
of Wroxeter. A good Board room is
fitted np in the office for theconvetiieece
of the Directors and the public generally
who may have business to transact,
Soars LEAP,YEAR Hurts.—Pick out a
fat man, They wear better in the long
run and then to they are easier to land.
A fat man is tender-bearted and simply
cannot refuse an offer of marriage.
Never mind the looks. Don't wait until
you find a Greek God. Grab off a
homely one while the grabbing is good,
The homely ones are the ones who bring
home the pork chops. If you cannot
support the young man in the manner to
which he has been accustomed be honest
and straightforward about it and tell
him so. Never lie to the young mat
about your salary for when be learns the
truth there is apt to be trouble. Be sure
that your approach is all that it should
be. Everything depends upon that,
When you ask a young man to marry
you don't go about it as though you.
were ordering a ham sandwich in a one-
armed restaurant. Be pleasant and
polite about it. Approach him with Met
and let him find out your true nature,
after it is too late for him to back out.
