Firm believers in this swift equine affirm that it mignt stand a good chance to win the Derby. The population of West Montrose has increased thirty per cent. durâ€" img the last six immonths. No other corporation within the limits of the _ county has made such rapid strides. Mr. R. Boel‘sâ€"family have moved into West Montrose and occupy the house vacated by Albert Rykert. At a recent meeting of the Board of Trade one of the speakers, adâ€" verting to the increasing prosperity of the burgh, and touching upon the fact that Colonel Denison of Toâ€" ronto has suggested that the great danger to Britain in case of war is the failure of the food supply, it may te a comforting assurance . to the Colonel to know that in any emergency West Montrose, with its: unfailing resources, _ stands firmly by the Empire. It is very much to be regretted that no active steps have been taken in the matter of the electric railway to connect West Montrose and Elmira. A Scot from _ Winterbourne says ‘‘We hae had an elevatin‘ and enâ€" tertainin‘ leetarary association | ‘a winter and hae got to be sic guid speakers, a doot if they big guns from oor coonty ton were speer‘d to cum oot they would be fear‘d to gang we hae sic powerful tongues of oor a‘in, fir in the maitter o‘ debaâ€" tin‘ and atguin‘ we can haud . cor a‘in wi onybody, exceptin‘ cor ain wives ye ken." Mrs. Rhodes _ Letson received . a telegram informing her that her broâ€" ther was seriously ill in Galt. . Mrs. Rykert has been seriously in disposed during the past week. No special arrangements have been made for watering the streets of the village, nor has there along this line been any contract let for the coming season. Neglect of this kind om the part of our municipal officers cannot be too severely censured. _J. McGovern‘s ° pony has kicked against the long route of mail . serâ€" vice. * ‘The sad news of the death of Jno. Marrivit came to the village. His remains were interred at West Montrose on Tuesday.

We think more ice has been harvested this season than any previous season as farmers begin to realize the adâ€" vantages they derive thereby. â€" Michael Wagler, who has been living on & farm just north of the village, has purchased a farm in the vicinity of Millbank and moved on the proâ€" perty last week. He has gained many friends during his short stay with us and _ his many friends here will wish him success as a tiller of the soil.â€"Sleighing is desperate. . Personal.â€"Ed.

Addition to Felt Factory.â€"A Creamery Board of Trade.â€"The _ Elmira Board of Trade held its annual meetâ€" ing on Feb. 14th. There was a fairâ€" ly _ representative number present.

A Prosperous Industry.â€"The Elâ€" mira Felt Factory seems to be prosâ€" pering. Already the directors find it necessary to add to the building, and the material is already coming in for putting a 50â€"foot addition to the southern end of the factory. If orders keep coming in as they have been doing, the present staff will have to be largely increased to turn out the work in time. Possibly a Creamery.â€"There is a possibility of the Elmira cheese facâ€" tory being turned into a creamery. Mr. Clark, manager of the Milton Creamery Company, was in town last week and interviewed some . of the officers of the Dairy Association with the result that a public meetâ€" ing is â€" called for next Saturday, which will be addressed by Mr. Clerk in regard to the matter. Mr. Clark thinks there is more money in butter than in cheese, and if he sucâ€" ceeds in convincing our farmers of the correctness of his opinion, then he will probably get their support in his undertaking.‘ Notes.â€"Mr. A. W. Stark having sold his farm about three miles east of Elmira to Mr. C. D. Bowman, his neighbor, has purchased his father‘s farm at Yatton and will take posâ€" session shortly.
