Eggs‘nakes. Not to be outdone by any Bobcaygeon snake, a Fenelon township snake of the garter variety came out for a constitu- tionnl wriggle on Jordan‘s hill on Thurs- day last. ‘ It was seen by two boys, 'Archie Ellery and Albert Roby, and promptly despatched. It measured ' about two feet in length. Gimm'ent-ing on the snake item in the Ganettc of the 29th, the Orillia Packet says Barie iron see snakes all the year round. and nobody thinks the fact worth passing mention. But the Packet men- tions it. and some other things not worth mentioning. and still others that are not facts. But real live snakes seen by real live people in real live local option mun- icipllitles at this season of year deserve special notice in a. real live journal that discusses real live topics. .___â€"â€".._.-c Curlers Elect Skips.

EShrer buyers are already, Lindsay Postzâ€"The friends of local option in Lindsay are indebted the advocates of the open bar for their lib~ eral distribution of ,“ arguments " in favor of the retention of the license system. It will do splendid service for the cause of local option. This is the reading age, and people are not nearly so gull-able as they were some years ago. notwithstanding the views of the anti-local optionists to the contrary. We are glad to be in a. position to deal with the “arguments " advanced in the distributed circulars, and we will offer “ evidence in rebuttal " from now on and the people can take their choice. The “ arguments " are chcstnuts with hair on them gray with antiquity. They have been refuted time and again, but they bob up serenely every now and then. A bad cause is always lost for an argument and one need express no sur- - prise that the friends of the open bar in their desperation seize on such clap trap and twaddle. You cannot stay the march of public opinion. Might as well try to dam Niagara's flow with a feather as to use the “ arguments " sent through the mails. o-» SALE OF FANCY ARTICLES.
