Recollections of General_ Grant
This is the title of a neat little bro-
chore received at this. office. , It is a
work of over 100 pages, they author
eine Mr. G. W. Childs, of , Philadel
p a. The subject matter contained
in _:the work will prove of general in-
terest to the reader and the reminis-
s recalled of . the distinguished
r will be treasured by his remain -
wades and admirers.
The Harvest Yield
With few exceptions the reports of
threshing done so far in. the 'township
indicates= a heavier yield of grain than
, , was expected.. Fall wheat will run
'from 25, to. 35 .bushels- per acre and is
a splendid sarnple. Spring wheat is
also good, but on account of the rain
the' color of the• barley is not bright,
but the ' yield. is 'very' heavy. The
• general run of fall wheat will go over
60 pounds to the bushel.
Public Meeting
At the request of a number of the
leading ratepayers theReeve has called
a public meeting in. the Town Hall
this (Friday) evening at eight o'clock,
to discuss the proposed loan of $5000
without interest for ten years, to
Messrs. Cliff:' & Forster, of the Fuini-
'ture Factory. .As this is a matter
which affects every property -holder in
the village',there should be a large
attendance present, when both • the
friends and opponents of the loan can
have an opportunity to express their
'views.
Go and Hear Them
The celebrated, Cosgrove Family of
• musical ' as tists, will appear in the
Town .H'all'this '(Thursday) evening,
under the auspices of the Lucknow
Fire Brigade, and all our : citizens
should go and hear theme' The Strat-
ford Herald in speaking of their per-
formance says : "The. marvellous
musical combinations presented by the
Cosgrove Family were received with
token*, of high appreciation., every
number rendered being; encored.
Little 'Mabel Ross and Miss Ada Cos-
grove' in their character songs .were
favorites."
.Preachers and Newspapers
A .certain preacher said that no.
newspaper which took the truth for its
° standar-.d could make a pecuniary
success. The press might return the
compliment by; remarking that no
Minister who told the truth .about his
congeegetioni' alive- or dead, would
occupy the -pulpit more than one Sun-
. day.after.wards. The press and clergy
go, hand in hand, whitewash brush,

LADIES AND GEN•L�LEA1r N, -Qu 'Monday next you will be called upon pon W"
vote yea or nay on the By -Law granting a loan of $5U00 for ten years tor'
Messrs. Cliff and Forster, of this. vtllat;e, to ast~ist them in extenrlin4 them
furniture business ; and in order that you may be enabled-• to cast ami
intelligent vote, and thoroughly understand the' terns of the loan, the
security offered for its repayment, and the benefits to be deriv-ldt by the
village therefrom, we take this opportunity end this method of laying the
matter before yea..
Furniture Factory a benefit
to the village 1 We dei not think that there is an lute igent man, w o,
child in the place but will say that it is. If so, then to what extent 4 This,
may be determined partly 'by the amount • of wages which the firm pays
annually. We have had access to the pay sheets and we tin*n4,liat they are -
paying 25 'hands $155 per week, Which amounts to ver el;JOO per annum,.
nearly all of which is spent in the place in purchasing the itecessrtries of life,.
paying rent, paying taxes, and supporting our churches and other religious
institutions. Besides the amount pairi out in -wages, the -firm purchases a
large amount of hardwood lumber from the farmers, the proceeds of which
are expended to a great.extent in this place. Now here is a simple problem.
If Messrs. Cliff & Forster consume a certain amount of raw material and pay
out over $8000 per year when employing . 25 hands, how much lumber will
they consume, and how much wages will they pay if their sta(f:is increased
to 40 hands `l The wages per year will amount to nearly $13000, and the•
>nsurnption of raw material in proportion, and a corresponding increase
in the benefits to be derived by the village.
--_ But- says.one,, L am gnito satisfied' that the factory is a great help. to our
village, and that on extension of business would be ; an exten c> anvantage,
increase the taxes so much that I cannot afforti•t it.
but it is goi�� to •
Now in answer to this we would say that there is a great deal of
misunderstanding about the amp -lint that is to be raised yeeely'i't1 -cennectioaa._----
v '4h -this -lean, s -leafs, Some say $375,, some$500, and some as high' as $750. It is
true that the By -L• tw makes provision f',r raising $500.per year, that is $25.0 -
principal and. ,$ 25Q interest, but Messrs. Cliff & Forster agree to- pay buck -
back '$250 of the principal on the 1st of July of each yetrr, which goes into a
sinking fend bearing compound interest at about„4 per' cent., which leave,
only ,s250 interest to be raised by -the village each year. This, , on an.
assessment. of $250,000 will be exactly one mill on the dollar or 10 cente on.
every $100 assessreent, which is surely a tax so small that the poorest maty
or woman,in the village would not refuse to -pay it for the benefit of the place.
But another person'says, I' believe it _would be a benefit to the vill ee.
alright, , acid the tax is a mere bagatelle„, l,leu.t` I. am not dntte satisfied'while _
the •security.
Now the agreement of the firm with the .village is thin : At goon as the -
By -Law is passed, Messrs, Cliff & Forster proceed to ereat additional
buildings, and put in plant and Machinery so as to' increase the. value to at
least ' $9000, and till this is done, and they have given the village a first,
mortgage of $5000, and an' •insurance policy for $6000, they not get one
cent of' the loan voted by the people. Stirely nothing can befeirer.thau this,.
andshould amply satisfy the most careful on this point..
In conclusion we.would say tthe t a'runror iii going round the village that
Messrs. Cliff & Forster have refused to allow anyone to, look at their books..
This is not•true, as the books were placed ,at .our disposal and are open to
inspection illy' Council or responsible citizens. --
A public meeting willbe held in the Town Hall on Friday evening: next
•
when all matters in connectio,t with' the By -Law or -loan wily lie thoroughly.
explained to the entire satisfaction of every interested citizen. Be sure and'
attend.

Holyrood Mechanies'' , Institute.
Tlie two last monthly lectures in'
connection With this Institute were in
every way great successes. • The 'first
was given by the Rev. Mr, Anderson
P. M., of Dungannon. The suejt ct-
was. "k`t'ailway travelling in Scotland."
The address, was excellently well pre-
pared, well delivered, full ,of. comical
anecdotes, 'and delivered with that
pawky humor which renders Scottish
jokes and jokers eo amusing. Mr.
Anderson used the manuscript, which
lie defended by saying that. by so doing
' a inan quit when he was done, without
spending time talking irrelevantly as
many extempore speakers do. Ile
illustrated this by an anecdote of an
old. Scottish lady, who had beeu told
that the ministerused written sermons.
This she could not believe 'out posting .
herself in an advantageous position
determined to see for herself.. To her
honor and disgust she found it was a•
'fact. When he had.come to the end
of his mannscript he announced . that
he would say no more on the matter
at that time. The old -lady relieved
her heretofore pent up feelings by
,jumping up And exclaiming :Ye canna,
ye canna ! Mr.. Anderson's lecture
was highly appreciated by his audience.
The second lecture was given by
Rev. Mr. Little,. of Underwood, oil
Aug. 12. • The hall was ,crowded to
the doors by an i.ritellig,ent and appre-
ciative audience, such ,as always
assembles at }Iolyr•ood. The pro-
eramme, at the beginning was of
utrusu,al exellence, and spoke well for
the " local talent in our midst. The
Rev. lecturer was introduced in•a few
complimentary remarks by the Pres.
Mr. Valens, who never falls to say the
right thing in the -right place, . and to
put those who have to run the gauntlet
of. the critics, as much at their ease as
possible. Mr. Little's subject waS,
"Things which . I have learned worth
knowing." The different points were
'illustrated by appropriate and amusing
anecdotes, which often `brought down
the house" and contributed greatly
to the pleasure of a•well'spent evening.
W hen we say that Mr. Little treated
his subject as only an Irshman can,
wet
a
snot g
0
feather.
We say
to
all
who wish topass it pleasant andprofit-
able evening, come to the monthly
lecture of the plolyroori Mchanics'
Institute, where all may find -that, A
