For instance Bar` 3-ie's population is given aa_ 4,894 as compared with 5,550 in 1891, and that was before Allandale was incorporated with the town. This is ridiculous. Barrie s population must be nearer 8,- 000 than it is 394.

Mr. Hazelgrove dug up a good deal of ancient history in the matter of elec- tions in this city, as a preliminary; and went into the methods employed by the Liberals to win the by-election. He gave eight names of men who, ` he said were pluggers for the good of Liberal ism, and charged that a buggy went about-town on election day that resemb- led a second-hand clothing store more than anything else, so full of wigs and "outts was it. Hazelgrove` said be fully realized the responsibility he took. in mentioning names in the matter, but the Socialists of the city stood prepared to prove what they said. ' The Boaifd of` `V'Vor'ka .haa_on more than one_ occasion had its attention drawn to the bridge over -Bunker : creek. The thing is V getting worse; somebody has nailed some boards on the hridge so that it is as tough as a ccrdercy M road. Besides this at_ each side are holes" in the road, making the place a dangerous one to ride over. If ehenenndmwegn their bteeding. grounds, the fork of _ extermination should be done there, even `if the mea- kinonge have to be decriced.

For the past week a Detroit young lady and a Kan- sas City young man have both been visiting at the Point.

To one of the parties he con- ded that he was a sheries inspector and was going to arrest any people shing on Sunday. The visitor believed the Barrie man but did not let on he was of the party.

If Mr. Bell can affordto run an electric railroad through a municipality of 500 inhabitants for a bonus of $250. , surely in a town of 10,000 inhabitants he can afford to perform the ser vice without any bonus whatever, as it is natural sequence that the revenue_ of a town of 10,000 inhabitants must be considerably in excess in receipts of asmunicipalitv of 500 inhabitants, .

Most people think it is going to. be the liveliest season we have ever had. Prosperity has . continued up to the present and there is every indication that _it will continue through the winter. People are going to buy things more liberally than eyer before. Merchants with re- putations will have little diicuilty in selling goodsof therightquality. Those merchants who have failed to get their reputation up to theppar point will have a handicap against which they will be `compelled to work, but they should start early in order to convince` the people of their determination to furnish; that which is satisfactory and at a price which will be a pleasure to the buyer as well as a benet to the seller. This fallllbusiness is going to require more push because there is going to be much competition for it. There are going to be more attractive goods, and the energetic` merchant is going to try and keep all his old friends. The man without a reputation is going to try to sell on the old plan. However much` each. may think his claim will ap- peal to the people, there is no question but that the contest will be erce. The results will be disappointing to some one, and success will go with him who has the most reason for that success. The fall advertising campaign should start early and be intelligently planned and carried to a successful conclusion. It is going totake brains, cash and de- termination to win the business desired.
