After experiencing our first NOV
ing day last week we should be per
fectly satisfied never to have another.
The trouble about "righting" things
in our new home is that we are at
present without an Office and find it
hard to think amid the noise and
confusion of big room full of ma
chinery and workmen. We hope
soon to be settled comfortably i'm a
neat Office of our own, an editorial
sanctum to which only the ordinary
cares may penetrate, not those with
which we have just been beset When
moving day comes round again it will
most likely find us away on our va
cation. But here's hoping that evil
day is afar off.

Earnest SiaS.

The support to the Leon Lyceum
course this winter has been quite
hearty. The young peoples societies
of three churches undertook putting
on the winter course not as money
scheme, but to give the public 4
series of good entertainments during
the winter months. The four num-
bers thus far given have been of
unusual merit They have all been
high priced attractions, but have been
worth the money. The lecture Tues
day night, March 25th, by Mr.. Ear
nest Sias is also an expensive num-
ber. To accommodate the large
crowd the opera house has been Sc
cured. Because we see our way out
financially the local committee has
decided to charge the extremely low
rates for admission of Is cents for
school children, and 80 cents for
adults. we want as many as the
opera house can hold to get the bene-
fit of hearing a man who is gaining
such big reputation, and these low
prices will be fair to season ticket
holders. Check your seats early
