genial satire Half a dozen of Ms
books in this line have enjoyed a CON

a few engagements on account of his
duties in Montreal, The committee in
charge of this series of entertainments

of the most eminent speakers America

NEW BRIDGE SIDEWALK
NOW OPEN TO TRAFFIC
Merchants and Churchgoers Alike
Benefited by Lowering of the Bars

The Main street bridge has been
opened to pedestrians Owing to the
coldness of the nights it has long been
necessary to keep the cement at a
temperature well above the freezing
point by the use of network of steam
pipes which were charged constantly
from early in the evening until morn
ing. A fire has to be kept burning
near the material used in the cement
to prevent freezing. In a few days the
main part OF the BRIDE will be thrown
open to vehicular traffic
The opening of the sidewalks has
relieved to a great extent the deDres-
sion felt in the two business places
in the former Brewster Block. Mr.
Frost and Mr.. Taber, the propretors,
both say that the early release of
pedestrian traffic through the new
bridge is about as welcome Christ
mas present as they would wish.
Churchgoers too, are now at less in
