And at Stafford’s Shop I mean to stay And advocate what’s right. So when in town you chance to be, And you. miss the old retreat, You have not far to come to me, On the same side near Grey btreol,. And thore you’ll find me on the job, With a largo stock hard to beat, A first-class outfit for tlie cob, And the best of leather for your feot. —By Heel'Shave. gTEWART HASTIE GLADSTONE ROAD.
