Stone Writes The Mirror From New Orleans, La. New Orleans, La., Feb. 20, 1925 To the Editor of The Mirror: Dear Sir: You will see by my ad- dress that I am at New Orleans. Many of your readers -perhaps. will not be much interested to know any- thing about this big city of the south, or the pld@tes of interest, where stop- overs are allowed by persons holding round-trip tickets to this city; but for the benefit of a few that are inter- ested in travel you may, if you wish, publish this letter. Not many Stratford people been in this city, perhaps the reason is it has not been much talked about, so I will here mention a few cities and places where stopovers are allow- ed going one route and returning an- other: Chicago, St. Louis, Memphis, Tennessee; Mobile, Alabama; Pense- cola, Florida: Beloxi, Mississippi; Nashville, Tennessee; Louisville, have also the Mommoth Cave of Kentucky, with its underground river and twelve miles of underground passageways. A nearby small cave is Sand Cave, where Floyd Collins was recently trapped and perished. I visited the Mammoth Cave in the winter of 1923. The city of New Orleans is situated near the mouth of the Mississippi River, and this, the biggest of all . rivers, is running six feet higher than the streets of the city, great wide levees at all times .preventing the Special Offer For This Week JUST BEFORE STOCK-TAKING Eight Young Men's form-fitting Heavy Winter All Wool Scotch Tweed Overcoats, reguifair $22.00 to $27.50, to clear at $5.00 Not the price of the lining 250 Men's ,Young Men's" and Boys' new model Overcoats to clear out at one-quarter to half off regular price to make room for new Spring goods coming in.

Not To Leave The City. | The resignations of Dr. Robert Martin of Knox church and Rey. Fin- lay Matheson of St. Andrew's church were accepted at a meeting of the Presbytery held on Tuesday. The two prominent Stratford divines were Un- oits when their congregations voted non-conecurrence. Their resignation will come into effect at the end of the month. They will not leave the city but will probably minister es flooding of the city. This city has a population nearly as_ large as Toronto, and is mostly Buro- pean in layout and architecture, many artists come' here to paint pictures -- of the quaint old French houses, Some of the points of interest in" the city are the British-American 4 battlefields, of the war of 1812, the old Spanish fort, the old French Gov--- ernment House and market where, according to the story of Uncle Tom's Cabin, poor old Uncle Tom was sold Some of the sports and amusements of horse races, daily airplane flights and stunts.

One day he received with his mail a let- ter from the head office, which con- tained g card bearing the current term password of the society. Hazel, who was more or less of an inquisitive nature, was looking over the shoulder of the official when she spied the word password on the card, and run- ning to her grandma she said, "Oh, #randma, Mr. B. just got an invita- tion to the Passover, when is it to be." Another landmark is being re- moved, namely, the old house beside the river on Huron street, and there are some others farther up on the vpposite side of the same street which it is hoped will soon fall into the hands of the housewrecker.

'Hydro-Electric Engineer, F. A. Gaby, has made a valuation of. the Stratford Gas Company's plant, and he announced a figure of $126,000. He believes it could be jourchased for $80,000 to $85,000. It might be worth while taking into consideration the fact that St. Thom- as bought a neglected private prop- erty for $200,000, spent $70,009 on improvements, and today is selling gas at $1.60 for cash, paying off what at one time was a $50,000 overdraft, and having a_ surplus of $3,000 to $4,000 a year.
