FE - She Atwoor Bee. — FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1890. SALUTATORY.__-—— With this issue we make our bow to im general; and last but not least to! ¢om secure enongh of the “needful” to pay our way and put a dollar or so away for <a rainy day.” _. It will be an impossibility toe «ccom- plish these results alone, so we bespeak the cordial support of the people of this section in the matter of supplying news, subscribing fer the paper, giving us all the advertising and job work possible, and by speaking a good word where it may be deserved in our behalf. We wish it to be distinctly understood that Tue Bex is not the organ of either} shout a,ai of the political parties but will endeavor to take an independent course and let the big dailies or weeklies hammer away at their political hobbies. _ After a practical experience, extend- ing over eight years, we feel justified in saying that we hope to turn out job work equal to that done in: any of the surrounding offices and at reasonable prices. . , We don’t want our patrons to imagine that the name of our paper is suggestive _ of “sting,” we rather desire that it may cause a hum in this district and be the means of fetching honey to more than one hive. This issue is sent out gratis but we _hope that _intending—subscribers—will remit, or hand in, their DoLLarR at once, so that we will get things working as speedily as possible. ° We hope to have the pleasure of shortly meeting with a great many of you and getting better acquainted. Yours, &c., Pa R.S. PELTON. Dominion Parliament opened on Thursday of this week. A lively session is anticipated. Tue Portuguese are liable to get themselves into eonsiderable trouble with England.

We anticipate the pleasure of reporting in our next paper that anew Hall will be built as soon as seasonable weather ar- rives. ccctelsesesonaa NEWS OF THE DAY. Dominion Parliament met yesterday.
