'P0 ADVER'l’ISERS.- Owing to ad-
vertising being heavy at this season
advertisers are requested to have
their advertising copy in this otllce
not later than ten o'clock n.` m., to
insure insertion on following day.
ATTRACTIVE' SHOW CASE.-
Among the many attractive Christ-
mas displays is the show cane
oi Mr. J. A. S. Bayer; photograph#
er, Gratten Street. The Christmas
picture this year, a child cn the
watch for Santa. Claus, is done up
most artistically. The show ease al-
so contains other beautiful photo-
graphs appropriately finished for the
Christmas season. \
THE WALKS.-Yesterday pedes-
trians were wishing tbe side-walks
"were in France,” for there were
few who escaped a fall, be he or
she ever so careful. Melted snow
with a hard irost alter does not tend
to make the sidewalk a very reliable
place to traverse, and most people
ure beginning to take the roads.
Were 9, little ashes or salt scatter-
ed on the walks, in front of resi-
dences and places of, business, shop-
pers end others would he very
thankful. ,
DANGEROUS PRAC'l‘1CE.- Yester-
day a number of children could_be
seen apparently enjoying themselves
by coasting on the sidewalk on Great
George streetf, from Water street to
the cud of Great George street. This
ie a dangerous pi'nct’i€c for children,
the slcds going ut such n swift pace
‘that they ure ‘difficult tor the little
.ones to control. Ii a horse should
come along the wharf street, from
Queen to Great George streets, where
the const stops, a collision and pro-
bably it had accident might,_result.
i Ti-in LAST Main.-Yesterday the
Souris train from Charlottetotvn
,contained what is scheduled to bc
'the last. mail for the Magdalene Is-
lands this season. All mail for
that port. was required to be in the
I-'ost Office here at 2.30 p. m. At
Souris the train connected with the
S. S. Lady Sybil, and the mail was
taken to the Islands. The Lady
Sybil will return to Souris and will
probably go to Pffou. In the mean-
time the Magdaleues will be shut; oil
from all communication with the Is-
land or other outside ports during
the winter season.
MIKE MURPHY.-In a short
sketch on the hockey situation for
the coming season in Nova Scotia
and Upper Canada an exchange in-
troduces Mike Murphy to the public
eye again. Mike, who is a Charlo-
ttetownian hy birth, hos been play-
ing ‘pro.' in New Glasgow for o.
past number of seasons. Now the
Ot.tawas_ have signed both him and
it fellow player, Wilson, on for $250
from New Glasgow, but they will re-
fuse to pay the money claiming that
New Glasgow, having dropped out
of the Maritime League, have no
right to any oi the players who were
with them at the time. Mike was
nlways stirring up things with the
stick and it looks as iihe would
still keep things "stirring some."
