LONSDAlE.

The prospect for good Winter is bright
here and the people are forgetting all
about the alleged "hard times" The
working people of this village have been
fortunate during the period OF depression,
In that they have lost very little time
through the idleness of the mills. One Of
the mills and portion of another, with
the bleachery and dye house, stopped for
less than week altogether on account OF
the lack of . suitable water supply, but
this little period was utilized by the op.
eratives In visiting the shore resorts and
other places of pleasure, and, on the
whole, was blessing In disguise, because
IL forced people to rest who needed It but
who would never take It OF their own
motion.
