Shelburne biiilt an $8000 town hall which brings a rental of 12 per cent, per annum on the capital invested. Ghatsworth is about erecting one at a cost of $875, and they onlj ask as- sistance from the village by way of tax to the amount of $150, We trust our citizens will give the matter their earnest consideration.

The Temperance convention, held in the Town Hull here last Thursday, was well attended. A good represen- tation of active Temperance workers throughout the township were pre sent. The meeting was unanimously in favor of submitting the Scott Act in this county. The 24 ih of May passed off quietly throughout the day in this village, business places cfosed. and almost everybody away, eithor fishing, hunt- ing, pic-nicing, driviu;,' until evening, when groups might be seen wending their way to the Ttiwii Hall to enjoy the social gathering or basket social held iu tiiat place, under the auspices of the Ladies Aid Society of the Pres- byterian church here. A mopt enjoy- able evening was spent. Proceeds $20. The handsome illuminated clock which graces the tower of Mr. M. Richardson's new block, and which was illuminated and set running for the first time on the evening of the 24th is ft valuable ornament to the village. Artemesia Council. A FKL.T WANT.
