We do not believe the storekeepers here are complaining. What benefit Would be gained by complaining ? There is certainly no law to prevent the wagons of the departmental stores from coming here. We thoroughly believe in the policy of loyally sup- porting our own stores, and leaving the money in the village wherever possible. But it is folly to blame the departmental stores. Those store- keepers 'who judiciously advertise their goods and exhibit proper enter prise in their business will seldom be found grumbling at the larger stores. The grumbling is generally done by those who almost lock themselves in their stores and wait for customers. The Richmond Hill correspondent; to the Toronto World might serve the interests of this village better if more care were taken in the publication of facts insnead of rumors.‘ A few days ago it was reported in that paper and copied in several Sounty papers, that “ the storekeepers here are complain- ing of the keen competition of the departmental stores. The wagons of these stores visit the Village several days weekly and gather up orders, they claim.” UN PROFITABLE ADVERTISING. The correspondent in Monday’s edition made the Village Council ap- pear ridiculous by stating that that body had thrown out the suggestion that the skating rink would probably not be opened this winter. The Council threw out no such suggestion, and if they did the citi- zens would not listen to it. The Metropolitan Railway are gen- erally accused of getting whatever they ask for. We believe this is true, at the same time we are free to admit that the accusation is nota very serious one. If a man ask for a dozen different favors from a dozen different sources, and they are all denied him, it is a pretty sure sign that he is not worthy of them. It is certainly not discreditable to the Metropolitan that they generally carry their point. The privileges the Company ask for must be within the bounds of reason, or they would not be granted. And now that connection with the C. P. R. has been granted, it is hoped that the management will have more time to study the interests of the public all along the line. For months past there have been no printed time tables for the public, and it has been utterly impossible for travellers to find out when the cars are due. The parcel delivery has been most un- satisfactory from the fact that as yet the Company has no place where freight or parcels may be left until called for. In the Richmond Hill Waiting-Room there is no fire for travellers, and seldom is the place lighted, no matter how dark the night. The Company should have printed sheets showing the distances between villages, so that travellers would know if they are paying more than three cents a mile for their ride. We have no doubt the Company pur- pose making many improvements in their service in the near future, but those referred to above should be at tended to at once. ' RICHMOND HILL. November 23, 1899 The Toronto World of Friday had a doleful article over a column in length finding fault with the Railway Committee of the Px’fvy Council for allowing the connection between the Metropolitan Railway and the C.P.R. at North Toronto. The World claims that the city hays been humiliated and. Cider Minâ€"W. Mager. Tenders for Suupliesâ€"R. Christie. Servant Wantedâ€"Mrs. Hemmingway. Change Atkinson dz Switzet. To Rentâ€"H.

Mulock, but almost every- body else in sight. The World says that Toronto was too slow in the matter, and that “the legal repre- sentatives of the city should months ago have foreseen what was coming and have prepared for it by making the Metropolitan revert to the horse car system on that portion of its tracks within the city limits.” We fail to see what good it would do Toronto to compel the travelling public from Newmarlkfet and all South on YOnge Street to ride in horse cars, and the electors of Mr. W. F. Maclean, M. P. in East York, will scarcely appreciate this inter- ference by his paper. Great Britain and the United States are Canada’s best customers for cheese and wood manufactures, as they are for many of her other ex- ports. In the two departments re- ferred to the Mother Country during the past thirty-one years has taken from us more than one half of the whole, or $260,564,563. Our next best customer has been the United States, which country has taken over $955,000,000, or $305,500,000 less than the United Kingdom, and others in like proportion. During the thirty-one years Great Britain’s purchases from us have increased five times what they were in the first year of Confederation; in the same period the United States’ purchases have increased about twothirds more than they were in 1868. Great Britain, which purchased in 1868, $4,400,000 less than the United States, bought in 1898 $58,300,000 more than the United States. The scarcity of lumber and the consequent advance in'price, have had the elfeet of arousing the whole trade into activity. From all the lumber districts of the Dominion come reports of the revival of the lumbering industry. Timber limits which have been abandoned for years are again being operated, and shantymen, who have Lee“ unable to find employment for many winters past, are again converging to the woods in large numbers.

Did you ever notice how few peo- ple are original in things they say and do? For instance, one man makes a fortune out ‘of a simple thing; immediately hundreds of others try it. This is human nature. While it is gratifying to be the “first man 7’ to bring out an idea, the great mass must be content to follow their leaders. rThere is one line that is al- ways original, however, and that is the business of Bradley-Garretson 00., Limited, of Brantford, Ont., be- cause they continually bring out pub- lications to suit the times and seasons, thus their agents are kept steadily at it and make big money. In fact, no other occupation is more honorable, healthful, lucrative, or offers half as many opportunities for promotion. It is a life school. Many men and women in Canada toâ€"day testify to the truthfulness of this claim, in fact, it is conceded on all hands, that one year’s experience with this firm is worth more to any young man or woman than two or three years at college, from an educational point of View, and financially it is all that can be desired.
