Those who were down town Satur- day night replenishing their larder or getting their mail and night papers, were somewhat astonished to hear mu- sic sweet and clear floating on the still, frosty air. From whence? Let us explain: Leslie Watson, local gar- age man, has made a snow-car, fitted up with a cosy cab which will seat five. -On top of the car he has strung several wires, which serve as an aeri- al. Attached to the left front comer of the cab is a radio receiving set and loud speaker. Open the cab door and out comes the music â€" any kind you want. For- almost an hour the car sat in front of the postoffice and was the subject of considerable curious comment. The car itself is "the only one of its kind in America" and with its music-producing accoutrements is in a class all by itself. The machine is solely a product of Mr. Watson's in- ventive mind.â€" Dundalk Herald. mmi The happy merchant Never before in tlie history of the world has it been pos- sible for a merchant in good itredit to do so much business with so little capital locked up in stock.

The members of the Aid presented to Mrs. Hindle a pair of blankets, not for their value but for the esteem in which Mrs. Hindle and girls are held and for their good work in the Aid here.
