NEW TIME (IhrBLE.--MIhe G. T. R. Company will issue a new time table shortly. A circular hiss been sent to the various agents along the line to ascertain through them public feeling with regard to a number of changes. The early train from Elmira to Toron- to will likely be cancelled. It is a great convenience to the people along the line but the patronage it received is, we fancy, too limited to make it pay. The Galt train that now leaves for Elmira at 7.30 in the evening will be held for all mails east and west and will be run to Elmira at a later hour. The new time table will take effect, it is thought, about the 10th inst. East mails under the new time table will not, be received here in town for dis- tribution in the evening. ---The Waterloo Musical Society and Bicycle Club have arranged for two most interesting entertainments at the Town Hall on Dec. 29th and January 12th.

With the erection of their handsome swinging sign to-day E.R.Bollert k Co. completed the long series of improve- ments in connection with their Palace Dry Goods Store. It has been a great uniierrtaking-this ttunsfovmatiod, so to speak, of the old premises into the new--yet) the result in the. bright, spacious and convenient, emporium of to-day must satisfy the enterprising firm that their arduous labor has borne good fruit. The marked expansion of trade at No. 27 had long since emphasized the necessity of the enlargement, of the premises. But it was not until the [opportunity was afforded by the gen- eral disorder consequent on the fire last winter that E. R, Bollert & Co. resolved to yield to the pressing " Kands of their business for more room, melly's music, storey gutted by the fire, melly's music, store, gutted by the tire, was leased and added to No. 27. The plan necessitated the breaking through of two large arches, the tearing down ofithe entire front, the lowering of the floors of both buildings level with the PALACE DRY GOODS STORE sidewalk, the erection of a magrnilieet1c staircase, the building of another story to the Kelly side, and the 1vrrlecoration of the entire premises throughout. Prominent among the improvements was the putting in place of the im- mense English plate glass windows, imported specially from Pilkington Bros., St. Helens, Lancashire. They are the largest) plates of glass in the Dominion, containing each over 150 square feet and weighing: 720 lbs. At all times it. is a beautiful and imposing front but at night when the beautiful windows are ablaze with incandescent lamps the effect is particularly brill- iant. The stores throughout arelighted by electricity and heated by a combina- tion of hot air and water. Nothing has been left undone that would con- tribute to the elegance of the apart- ments or the comfort and convenience of the many patrons of this old-estab- lished firm. On the ground flooit of No. 27 are the dress goods and staple and fancy dry goods. By the way, it may here be mentioned that E. R. Bollert & Co. are embarking more extensively than usual in fancy dry goods, adepnrtnient that their: premises hitherto prevented them from giving the attention it de- served. While handling, extensively all the finest lines of 11'fkaiiiii'i'i' they still keep well to the front their stock of general dry goods, which has always been noted for its thoroughness and good value. o The second floor {of No. 25 is the millinery and mantle department-a most important and interesting branch of the business-and above it are the heavy staples and reserve stock. The ground floor of No. 25 is devot- ed to ordered and ready made clothing and gents' furnishings. The front half of the second story is stocked with carpets and house furnishings, while a portion comprises a well lighted fitting room for the dressmakers. Above is the tailors' work room Every part of the immense premises from cellar to garret is utilized, and to each depart- ment the care and ability and attention are given that have been such a power- fully con;ributing element to the firm's success. The opening of the new premises, or atleast the final touches to the work of improvement will be celebrated by a grand sale, of which an extended notice appears in the advertising col- umr1s.--Suelph Herald. lt B00Tu-uUNsICKER.
