CANDY CANE GIRLS

[Welland Tribune, 1 March 1895]

THE Candy girls have been very successful in producing a high grade of confectionery and have had a large patronage, for which they return thanks. The proceeds of the enterprise will be devoted to the purchase of a baptismal font for Holy Trinity church.

PEDESTRIANS crossing the canal bridge yesterday were compelled to wade through four inches of slush and filth-mostly manure. And this just before an election, too, with lots of the faithful looking for a job. This beggarly spirit of economy will be the ruin of the Tory party yet.

BIG auction sale at Dr. Emmett’s farm, known as the Solomon Moore farm, half way between Welland and Fonthill, on the town line, next Wednesday, March 6th. Fine lot of horses and cattle will be sold. Also this fine farm of 100 acres is for sale on liberal terms at private sale.
