In announcing my Removal to
J. C. Detlor & Cq's old and well-
known stand on the corner of

tion to my large stook of General

that for extensiveness in range
and reasonableness in price can-
not be excelled in Huron.
I also take this opportunity of
thanking my many friends for
the patronage that has necessi-
tated a removal to more commo-
dious pTem s,,,,azld request a
continiance' of the' same at the

In last week's issue of the God-

in the 'editorial column : " The

taking for his text the words "That

and in the course of his observa-
tions says, 'any unprejudiced person
will say that Port Albert is by far
superior in every way to Goderich
ae a lake port"' That settles it.
Goderich may as well give up the
fight. The proper place for our
editorial brother is as chief engineer
of the C.Y. R.—Yee, James, it takes
a clever far-seeing person to be a
chief engineer and I have not the
slightest doubt but the gentlemanly
editor of the Advance could fill the
bill to perfection, as his observations
tally to a great extent with the ob-
servations made by Mr. Jennings, a
C. P. R. engineer who visited this
place a short: time ago. His re-
marks were : " A fine roomy place',
gentlemen, a fino roomy Harbor.
