WELLAND NEWS

[Welland Tribune, 15 February 1895]

CHANGED HANDS-Mr. Caleb Robins has purchased the candy, fruit, &c., business late of Ed. Hughes, and will continue the business at the old stand, opposite the float, Muir street.

NOTICE-All parties who neglect to comply with the requirements of the town-by-law with respect to clearing the snow off the sidewalk in front of their premises will be prosecuted.

THE grocery, restaurant and ice cream business, lately carried on by Mrs. Gibson is for sale. The stand is the best in town and the business twenty years established. A good opening for the right party.

THE worst blizzard that has visited our town in many years held full sway on Friday last. Business was not in it. The trains were all late. Frozen ears, noses and fingers were a common occurrence. The wind blew a gale, rendering the zero weather almost unbearable. The mercury did not drop quite so low as on the previous Tuesday but the cold was more severely felt.

ONE of the Welland delegates, it is reported, “got stuck” in addressing the Young Liberals convention at Toronto last week. That’s nothing. The great D’Israeli made just the same balk himself the first time he attempted to address a great assembly. Accidents will happen.
