NEW PAVEMENT. -Town Clerk Wil- son has issued a, notice to the ratepay- ers, setting forth that the total actual cost of the new asphalt block pave- ment on Main street, from Goderieh street to the G.

H. Ross, where his in- juries, consisting of a deep cut in the head, and otber minor cuts and bruises were attended to, and he was removed to his home. As he is SOMO- whfct advanced in years his friends are apprehensive of the result. $60,000 ADDED DEBT. ••- Municipal matters are now receiving the atten- tion of the ratepayers, and while it is hardly probable that Mayor Broderick will be opposed for a second term as it has became an established custom here to make the mayor's term two years), yet there is every indication of a warm contest for epees at the council board. With the paving of Main street, and the loans to the Canada, Furniture Company, and the Willis Shoe Company, about S60,000 of liabil- ities have been assumedby the corpora• tion this year, and this is causing the older and more conservative ratepay- ers to begin figuring on future tax rates. The end of it all will undoubte edly be it warm contest for control of the municipality between the pro- gressive party and the party of a low tax rate. 1Fitlilett • FARM SOLD. -Tho farm of Mr. E.

MAN ,r0 LOSE. •-• The report was around for a few days that we were going to lose ofir teacher, Mr. N. W. Trewartha, and we understand it was his intention to take uphis resi- nence on his own farm. It being quite close to a neighboring school, the trus- tees of which knowing the reputation of MreTrewarkha,were wise in endeav- oring to secure his services. Holmes ville school trustees, however, were not caught napping, and not wishing to lose a teacher and citizen of his stamp, very quickly made it to his in- terest to remain here, where he has given the best of satisfaction for six and a half years. RAILWAY MATTERS, -We are begin- ning. to think our town must be becone- hag quite iniposina in appearance from the B' ailway station, as on different occasions passengers have alighted from the train, supposing they had reached Clinton.
