What about a new up-to-date,
modern if you please, hotel for
Parksville? In repeating the hotel
proposition for the third time, | am
reminded of the new preacher, who
preached his first sermon on repent
ance, and it was thoroughly enjoy
ed. Next Sabbath, he repeated his
sermon on repentance but the old
deacon endured it in silence, hoping
for something new the third sermon,
but the third preaching day came,
and the sensible and sedate parson
gave them again his repentance ser
mon. This was more than he old
deacon, who is always full of adj
vice to the preacher, could stand,
and he took the preacher aside and
said BRO Parson, that sermon on
repentance is good, but can't you
preach something else? The people
will tire on so little variety. Has
anybody repented said the parsoa?"
Not that I know of said the deacon
Well said the preacher, Lam go.
ing to preach that sermon until
somebody, repents. In like man
ner, I expect to talk hotel until the
money barons repent and put their
money in spit fire, spic and
|span," new hotel, that would do
credit to larger town. Parksville
can have fair, but no where for
visitors to stay, except at some pri-
vate home, and travelling men have
to 20 to Plum Branch or McCor-
mick to spend the night. Isn't scme
one beginning to repent about this
serious drawback to an otherwise
progressive community?
