If they will put on their spex and read it again perhaps they may see "the point" which has escaped their '(perception. Municipal matters in Holland town- ship are assuming a definite aspect. Mr. Wm. Norton and Mr. M. Howey are candidates for Beeve. Dr. Oldham has sickened of municiijal politics and will not seek re-election. Messrs, Shu+e and Galbraith are in the field for deputy- reeve, which will leave room for new blood in the council ranks, Mr. W. J. Shopherdson is Ukaly to be one of the new board. Change in Business. â€" Mr. Joseph McCuUough, late of Meaford, has pur- chsed the punrp business from J, T, Quinn, of Markdale, and is now in pos- session. Mr, Mc, is, we understand, a thorough practical pump maker, having had considerable experience and is now prepared to meet the wants of the com- muuiiv in bis line. He warrants his pumps five years, which is.an evidence that he understands his busincKS. We bespeak for him a prosperous business and wish him success. A handsome brick church has been erected by the Presbyterians of Chats- worth which will be formally opened on Sunday, the 9th December, Principal Caven, of Knox College, Toronto, will preach morning and eyeniug.

The following Sunday Eev, Mr. Waites, of Owen Sound, vrill preach in the morning and Bev. Mr. Mclnnis of Blantvre,in the evening. GLEKEI.G, â€" Municipal matters in Glen- elg township are assuming a practical 8haxe for the coining election, and, since a very important change has been made in the status and geography of the I mnnicipality, the complection of the new council may bis materially changed. Mr. Chas. Moffat, the enei^etie and faitbfal bead of the present council, will seek re-election to that tesponsihle and hon- orable position, and we have^opt heazii of .wiy opposition to hnft -s |iz.

Voters vnll be assisted by the amendment which will throw light on the financial standing of the munici- pality. Close Call, â€" On Sunday morning last while the Bey, Mr. Buggin stood in his pulpit, and just after announcing his text, he was suddenly seized with a sharp pain in his head he excused him- self and saf down, asking the choir to sing a piece, thinking it would soon pass away. The services of Dr. McBride â€" who was in the congregation â€" werejcall- ed for and the preacher soon revived sufficiently to go home to^the parsonage when the congregation was dismissed. The doctor pronounced it a slight stroke of appoplexy caused from over mental exertion, and says he must cease preach- ing oftener than twice on Sunday and strongly recommends him to retire from active work altogether. He is now apparently not much the worse and says he felt unusually well that morning up to the moment he was seized by lihe pain. The Bible Society meeting was held in the Presbyterian church as announced on Monday evening and was addressed by Bev.
