Salvation army training home to prepare himself as an officer in the

Mr. John and Alex. Elliott of Kingston had a car load of cattle here
for several days, waiting the opening of the Grand Trunk.
| |
Feed appears to be getting scarce with a great many farmers and they
are disposing of their cattle early. For those who can keep them on
till spring the prospects are said to be good.
No one had the inclination or the courage to face the storm on Friday
night to Ashburn to attend the Soiree. The weather was so severe that
the tea was postponed till Wednesday evening.

Commissioner Coombs, Staff Capt. D. O. Morris, A. D. C. Lewis and
other officers of the Army presented colors to the Brooklin corps on
Monday night. On the Commissioners arrival a torchlight procession
was formed and paraded the principal streets. Twelve soldiers were
enrolled.

The Royal Templars held an open meeting on Monday evening. A good
number of visitors were present, who appeared to enjoy themselves. As
the select councillor, Mr. Kitchen, was not present at the opening, Mr.
T. J. Holliday occupied the chair. A lengthy and interesting programme
was rendered. Rev. S. C. Phelp and some of the older members made
very appropriate remarks. Mr. Henry Wilson was present and delivered
some of his orations much to the amusement of those present,
particularly the ladies, with whom he is a favorite.
