"Subscriber," who writes us from
Derby relative to the exhibition cars
which the Canadian Pacific r. r. Co.
have caused to be sent about the
country, is advised to write that Co.,
at Montreal, P. O., for information.
The grain, fruit, vegetables, etc., ex-
hibited purport to have come from the
regions west of Manitoba. The land
is largely owned by the railroad com
pany and it will be we'll to remember
that land investment companies are
liable to tell all the truth-and some
more-in an advertising circular.
The frequency of fires in other
towns admonishes the people Of this
village of the necessity of great care
with ashes, fues, kerosene lamps, etc.
The fact that we have had no fires Of
late in this village doesn't decrease
the danger a whit. The citizens, as
well as the members Of the hose COM
panies, now much broken up, should
remember that the hose carriages are
at the village engine house, j. w.
Murkland's shop, the village hearse
house and at G.. TT. Blake's barn. Ev-
cry village hydrant is supposed to be
in good working order.
For the information of those who
are dealing with and writing about |
that disagreeable and ugly disease,
called in this paper, grip, we will
state that the MONITOR spells the |
word with just four letters, grip.
While mentioning this, we will state
that some people who write for the
newspapers will commence almost ev-
cry word in a sentence with capital
except the names Of the days in the
week and Of the months in the year.
When capitals are used profusely it
will not be amiss to drop them in |
among the words mentioned above.
. The funeral of Ora Wilmot, engin
eer, who was killed Sunday night, Jan.
81, by bridge between West Burke
and Lyndonville, was very largely at
tended. He was a young man uni
versally esteemed, was Chief in the
order of Locomotive engineers, and
was also an Odd Fellow These two
orders attended the funeral in large
numbers The deceased left an aged
and helpless father, a mother, wife
and one child. His sad accident calls
to mind the fact that it occurred on
Sunday train. There ought to be SO
loud protest from railroad employees
and the public that Sunday traffic
would be stopped.
