ladies furnishing store in the Barto block
and will secure frst-class dressmaker-
a boon which the ladies win appreciate.
The stock of goods ofPettit g. Co. has
been nearly closed out, and the firm will
practically cease to exist on the first of
next month, when the store now occupied
by them will be taken by Millar & Co.
Joseph Capser is giving his store a'com-
plete overhauing, and one will scarcely
recognize the place when he gets through
with it. Heis painting it in bright and
cheerful tints throughout, will lay a new
floor, and transform it into one of the
pleasantest business places in the state.
The name of the Farmers House has
been changed to the Germania, under it's
new management. Mr.. Gaspard has
spared no pains to make it desirable
home and stopping place. He is an &C
tive, enterprising young man, who will
exert every energy to please his patrons
Now that the new council is in work
ing order it is hoped they will give at
tention to the enforcement of the ordi-
nance relative to blocking the streets by
railway trains. The new president had
little experience in that way, last week
which did not tend to improve his tenn
per for the time being. Perhaps it was
wholesome.
Night-oficer Crowl discovered kero-
sene lampi in business house on Third-st.,
streaming up almost to the ceiling about
midnight on Friday, and the store filed
with a dense smoke. 1t was feared an
explosion would ensue, but he routed out
the proprietor and soon averted the
danger. 1t took some time to get the
smoke out of the store.
Millar & Co. will remove to the Smith
building, corner of Main and Third-sts.,
on April list, one of the very best business
locations in the village. The firm has
purchased large stock of new and sea-
sonable goods which will be opened and
ready for the trade as soon as it is settled
in it's new quarters. 1t will make an ele-
giant display of splendid stock of the
best goods to be found in market.
Rev. S. Sherin, state S. S. superinten-
dent and secretary, will give an address
in the interest of Sunday schools before
union meeting in the Congregational
church next Sunday evening. A meeting
for the children will be held in the after
noon at three o'clock at the same place.
All Sunday schools and all persons inter
ested in Sunday schools are urgently re-
quested to be present at these meetings.
Mr.. Sherin will also address the Sunday
school teachers on Saturday evening, at
half past seven O'Clock, in the letcure
room of the Congregational church.
When LII Kells came down to break
fast on Wednesday morning his four-year-
old son was looking out of the window
watching the effects of the high north
west wind with evident interest. He
said, "papa, the wind must be in big
hurry to get down SOUTH" and the
young philosopher was clearly right.
Another one from a four-year-old: John
Perkins told his little daughter to stop
pulling her nose, or she would make it as
large as his fist. The wee one looked up
gravely at hez father and innocently en-
puired: Papa, did you use to pull your
nose when you were little"
Carlo, the handsome and well-trained
New Foundland dog of Joe Pettit's, met
with violent death on Tuesday. He
was on the trestle bridge of the Manitoba
road, just east of the village, when the
noon train came laundering along, and
he for some reason failed to leave the
bridge, and was instantly killed. That
Joe feels really bereaved is scarcely to be
wondered at, for he and Carlo were al
most inseparable. He had trained him
to drive to a cutter like horse, Carlo
obeying every command of his young
master as faithfully and intelligently as
could be desired. The dog had a warm
place in the little fellows heart, and he
mourns his death deeply.
