Last Saturday while Gordon Gilbert
was enjoying free ride on the freight
train at the depot. he met with slight
accident which may prove of inestima-
BILE good to him as lesson. While
standing on a coupler the train sud
denly shunted and caught his foot
between two bumpers. 1t was tight
squeeze for the boys foot and he yelled
Justify until the engine moved up and
released it. IL is lucky that the cars
were moving but slowly or Master Gill
bert would probably be known as the
one-legged boy. AS it was it tore the
sole off his shoe and served good pur-
pose as far as it went.
On next Tuesday evening, in Central
Hall, the Yale Comedy Company will
give its first entertainment of the
season. Not q stone has been left
unturned in the efforts made by the
young men of the village towards
making this entertainment glowing
success. The outlook also promises
full realization of their hopes. 1t
has been the aim of the young men to
get up something which would be
instructive and amusing to the Yale
public. They believe they have sue
ceeded. and anticipate hearty support
from the people. 1t is needless to say
that the Yale people owe it to these
people to give them its hearty support
in every way possible, especially by
their attendance. The evenings en-
tertainment will open with first
part" full of laughable jokes and songs
and other songs of higher nature.
Then will follow an colo" which prom
ises to be of high grade of musical
excellence. Laughable sketches, COM
zeal turns and songs will be next upon
the programme; and the evenings
entertainment will close with very
laughable farce. The whole entertain
ment will be got up by local talent and
we hope it will meet hearty support.
Among those mentioned upon the pro-
gramme are. Harvey Drake, j. D. Grin
nell. A. j. Hicks, l.. Mcdonald, Frank
Vanslyke, Grant Macarthur, f. Palmer,
Bert Jardlne, M. III. Norman and ii.

At the beginning of new year in
the annals of our village it is not out
of place to make short recapitulatiOn
of the progress which it has made
during the past year. We dare say
that few villages can show greater
or more healthy growth than can be
shown i'll our own village. Ten years
ago and we, as a village or town did
not have any real eXiStance. Today
we can count thousand inhabitants
and for the past year can point to one
of the most rapid series of advance
ment materially to be found anywhere.
About so substantial dwelling houses
have been put up III the year that has
just closed. Still there is not a vacant
house in town. a house to let is most
difficult to find Besides this great
number of houses which have been
built from foundation to garnet, there
are nearly twice that number which !
have received additions or have been
remodled at considerable expense. |
These houses have all been made
really artistic and credit to the village.
Then in addition to this, three new
industries have sprung up; machine
shop, furniture factory and another
roller Touring mill. All of these are
running successfully at present. Two
new stores have also been opened. be-
sides engagements i'm those which
formerly existed. This is what we
have done in the past year and it is
not unreasonable to suppose that an-
other year will see equally wonderful
changes for the better.
