Of Course It Was Not True.
Every little while when things get unbearably bad on the Brockville & Westport railway, the papers out there start up a pleasant little story to the effect that in a quiet, confidential way, it is reported that the B. & W. has passed into the hands of the New York Central managers. Then there is great jubilations among the citizens, the shortcomings, or perhaps the longcomings of the road are forgotten, and as neighbor meets neighbor on the street they strike hands and say, “Did you hear the latest about the B. & W.” As an outcome always of the “quiet confidential rumor” the road is extended to the “Soo" in their minds, and is the medium by which the of almost the entire country goes bounding to the seaboard. Of course in a few days the quiet confidential report is found to be without any foundation in fact, but everything is forgiven the road that has such tremendous possibilities and it goes on pursuing the very uneven tenor of it's way. beach dresses for mother of the bride
Sunday was the coldest day of the season and in the afternoon we had our first fall of snow. It didn't come very fast or in very big flakes and there wasn't enough of it to make sleighing, but there was just sufficient to say that it snowed. Further north it fell in greater abundance.
