[Welland Tribune, 8 March 1895]
Why is it that Bertie has no inspector appointed to see that the act relating to black knot is enforced? There is enough along the Limestone ridge to keep him busy for one month alone. If the matter is not looked after soon there will be no cherry or plum trees in this part of the country. It is to be hoped that the present council will not neglect the appointing of an officer for that purpose.
ANTI-BLACK KNOT
Bertie, March 1st, 1895
To settle a dispute will some one, who would be considered an authority, tell us whether any other than the Queen’s Own Rifles engaged the Fenians at the Battle of Ridgeway on June 2nd, 1866? If any beside the Q.O.R. to what regiment did they belong, and what was the number engaged on either side?
In reading an article on the South American republics the writer referred to them as the Latin-American countries. Why are they called Latin-American?
VERDI
OUGHT TO BE ADOPTED IN WELLAND COUNTY-A Missouri paper reports a unique sentence imposed on an illiterate prisoner by a magistrate of that state. The prisoner was totally unable to read or write, and was sentenced to imprisonment until he could read. An educated offender was at that time sentenced to be confined until he had taught the other to read. The task was accomplished in just three weeks. When such are convicted of (say some other light offence), why not make some such task the condition of liberty? I would like to see the experiment tried.
