means of a punch they manufactured from this one bar seventy-flv;'lit'tTe hars to be offered for sale to the public. The next step in the process was to wrap each of thew» little sticks in a timied label, and then to sprinkle a flttlv highlyâ€"scented J)owder over it, It seems that they sold quite a lot of it in Walkerton. This soap fakeis an old one. Some years ago, when the lats James Rothwell kept store there, he sold a bar of common Sunlight soap to one of these fakirs. Whenie went home fordingoer he found that his wife had bot three little packages from the fellow. and at three times the price that Mr Rothwell bad charged him for the whole bar. The moral of the inâ€" cident is that citizens should patronize those who haye a business reputation. A man whogayve his name as White accompanied by his wife, or by a woâ€" man purporting to be his wife, struck town recently, says the Walkerton Telâ€" escope, and lost no time in getting to work. Their mission bere was to supâ€" ply the people of town with soap that would remove iuk or stains. The soap was offered for sale in little sticks, nicely done up in scented paper, They did a thriving business for a day or two but were then interviewed by Constable Russell, who had the man before the magistrate, on a charge ofé)eddliug without a license. He was fined $20 and costs. The woman gave the whole thing away. What they did was to buy a har of ordinary soap at a grocery store. Taking it Limlo their room, by J. 8.

This was correct, but we should state that the house was for Mr Neil Mcâ€" Millan on 16 con. Wa all wish Mr and Mrs McMillan many happy days in their new residence. Dr Jamieson. M. P. P. was through Proton Township last week and called on some of his friends. We expect he had a chat about the state of the country and the political change. The Harvest is in and the threshing machines haye commenced, but the farmer bas nct the amount of grain as in other years. It accounts for the wet season on tho Proton flat lands but still our assessment goes up every year at the County Council. Our Coanty Commissioners should look to this point.

Hopeville The People‘s Store This bymn gained immense additionâ€" al popularity thraugh the tragic death of President William McKinley, His last intelliyible words were : " Nearer My God. to Thee, e‘en though it be a cross has been imy constant prayer." His prayer was answered. It was n crossâ€"one of the greatest that could come to him and to the beloved nation which he had served so faithfullyâ€"that led him through a martyr‘s sufferin and death to claim a martyr‘s rewnr&f Memorial services were beld in innuâ€" merable churches in our own and other countries. the most interesting of the latter being in Westminster Abbey, by order of the King. Here, ns elseâ€" where, the (greatest interest centred about the singing of the bymn which was in the heart and on the lips of our heroic President as he went to meet his God.â€"From The Delineator for September. Eliza aud Sarah Flower were giited English sisters whose earthly lives beâ€" gan and ended between the opening and the close of the first half of the last century; and yet in that brief period both left their impress on their generation ; and the younger, Sarab, achieved undying fame by composing the beautiful hymn, * Nearer, My God, to Thee." It was suggested by the story of Jacob‘s yision at Bethel, ns found in (Genesis XXVII ; 10â€"22. The bymn was first published in 1841, and although it met with some favor, it was not until 1860 that Drâ€" Lowell Mason‘s benutitul and syinmpathetic music * quickened it into glorious life" and gave it a permanpent abidingâ€"place in the hearts of the people.

It is probable thay a lawâ€" ver will be engaged by the growors to present their case. ‘The Sectetary of the Assvciation. Mr H B Cowan, of the Parâ€" liament Buildings, Toronto, will be pleasâ€" ed to hear from vegetable growers in any part of the province who would like to furnish the committee with information that should tve laid before the Commisâ€" sion. The Vegetable Growers feel that they have a grievance, and that sometbing should be done to iwprove existing conâ€" ditions, A« there are thousand« of vegeâ€" table growers in the province interested The officers of the Outario Vegetable Growers Association have immstructed the Becretaury to make arrangements for a convention representing ‘The Vegsetable Growers of the province to appear before the Tariff Commission when it meets in Toronto, to givye evidence on behalf of the vegetable growers. Eyery year great quvantitiee of vegetables are shipped to the leading cities in Canada from the States, and often sold at prices below the cost of production at the centres where they are disposed of, Tho United States Tariff prevents Canadian growers shipping their vegetables to the leading cities in the United Stales when their markets are favorable. gathering information in regard to a nâ€"â€"mber of fairs which hold Lhorss races ut their fall exhibitions. â€"The tariff commission appointed by government decided to meet first in the West and are having proof tha t this wide country of ours has a variety ot claiins. The West as might be exâ€" pected, being a consuming country as tar as the bulk of its imports are ‘conâ€" cerned, favors a very much lighter tariff than the Ontario manufacturer. The fruit dealers of Winnipeg want a much lower duty on most of the proâ€" duce they handle than will suit the * little Ontario peninsola ** producers, and so it will go on. The commission will require the wisdom of a Solomon to please all parties. As a result of a series of questions sent out to societies it has been found that 144 societiea are in favor of horse racing and 126 agaivet it, Many of the societies in fayor of borse racing believe that the value of the purses should be limited, 140 societies report that they betieve horse racing to ho neceesary for the success of their exlhibitions, while 180 aie uot of this opinion, In reply to a question asked the societies as to whether they wou‘d consider horre racing neceesary were there fewer oxlibâ€" itiouns in their yicioity 110 societies 1eâ€" plied that they would, while 152 stated 2 1 0 EP 2ITH, EC L0A DURTOR that they would not. _ ‘The yalue of the purses offered at tho exhibitions last year amounted to considerably over $25.000. ° 125 societies are in favor Of reâ€" s ricting the ruces to horses owned by men living within 20 mules of the fair, while 142 societies sitated that they would not be in fayor of such a restriction. Quite a number of the societies are in fayor of restricting the value of the purses for norse races to a sum Lot to exceed one third of the value of the total amunut pard in prizes for agricultural purposes. 11.
