At present there does not appear to be
much talk on the cinestion, yet he.
lieve people are doing more thinking.
During the past two weeks there
have been several lectures delivered

upon the rate -payers. Mr A. T, Coop-
er, of Clinton, gave three most excel-
lent temperance addresses on the Oth
inst at Goshen Blake and Drysdale;
Mr Spence, of Toronto, delivered an
excellent address on Local Option in
Blake on the 7tb, while Rev Mr Urqu-
hart, of Kippen, delivered a masterly,
enthusiastie and convincing address at
Drysdale on the llth. These with
several other address by Rev Messrs
Brown, Davidson and Somers at Hill's

ratepayers of their duty on the 7th of

but no doubt tbey will .do their work
quietly as on other occasions.
- That the bar -room is -a public nuis-
ance and dangerous snare to the youth
of our township, no reasonable man
can deny, but, that it is legally allowed
every one must admit. Nevertheless
it is the wise duty of every ratepayer
to weigh the matter in its influence
and act accordingly with his franchise
on the 71h of January.
One feature of the Act may .give a
little discouragement and that is that
