INSTITUTE MEETINGS.—Public •. ings
under the auspices of the West H in
Board of Agriculture 1 formerly known s
the Farmers' Institute) will be held in the
Orange Hall, Dungannoh, on Wednesday.'
February 20th, in the afternoon at 2 `
o'clock and in the evening at 7 30. In
the afternoon the Women's Institute will
hold a meeting in the Oddfellows' Hall,
and the evening meeting will be held
jointly under the auspices of the two
oards. The speakers announced for
these meetings are Mr. A. J. Fallis, of
Millbrook : Mr. W. D. Shearer. of Bright :
Miss M. B. Powell, of Whitby. and at the
evening meeting Mr. J. E. 'Tom. of
Goderich, public , school , inspector for
West Huron. These meetings should be
well attended. as agriculture never before
held the commanding position it does now
in the life of the Canadian people.
STATIN(, THE CASE.— We notice by the
Toronto papers that Mr. A.11. Musgrove
has been appointed pt$tmaster of Wins -
ham. leaving vacant the representatjonjof
North Huron in the Legislature: ' We
understand that Premier Hearst and Mr.
Proudfoot. the Opposition leader, 'have
concurred in the opinion that no bye -
elections should be contested at the pres-
ent time. any seat becoming vacant to be
tilled by a °representative of the same
party as the pre'ioos member. in this
case a Conservative would be chosen for
North Hur ni and such being itie erase w•e
do not hesitate in stating that we know
of no person so well fitted in this case as
Dr. T. E. Case. of Dungannon. Dr. Case
has been a resident of our village for over
thirty-tive years. He has hien a lifelong
Conservative, and really the works of the
party in this section. and when an electirn
is in sight and a candidate is Chosen he
usually wends his way to Dungannon to
consult the Doctor as to his campaign.
and when polling day comes tie Doctor is
on the job early and sees that the vote is
polled. including the halt. the lame and
the blind, and does not let up until the
last ballot is in. We have no hesitation
in saying that if the Doctor will accept
the nomination, and he should have no
opposition. North Huron will be represent-
ed by one well ahle to fill the place. and
all Dungannon will join in tipping the hat
to T. E. Case, M..D., M. P. P.
