Street Improvement No possible expenditure of public moneys will yield one tenth of the ben- efit to a town that will result from the laying of a good macadam or similar Pavement. Every live town is asking itself if it can afford the necessary out- lay. There can be no doubt in this re- spect. The experience of hundreds of towns in the land prove that the in- crease in taxes from the enhanced val. ue of property is greater than the ex- pense incurred. Pupport the Logal Newspaper. The immense power a local news paper possesses in attracting trade to the town in which it is published or diverting it into other channels can hardly be estimated Further, it is a'. matter that is seldom considered as an important factor in a town's prosperity ,for, the simple reason that business men generally do not give it a thought. He who will impartially consider this assertion will be convinced of the truth of it. The local paper is very natural- ly biased in favor of the place of its publication, and is given a fair living ' patronage by home business men will guard well their iuterests, just as the merchant ,suards the interes:s of hir> individual customer. But if a niggard- ly support is doled out to it, and it is compelled to solicit custom frotn neigh- boring cities, it cannot in justice to those patrons exert itself in behalf of its own town as it otherwise would..

The bigCanadian cheese, whi eh was Canti cut in London a short time ago for the delectation of about fifty guests, is to be sub -divided into one -hundred pound portions for general distribution, and some of these portions are to be sent back to Canada co be sold for general consumption, It will he remembered that the cheese stood the test at the close of the Chicago Fair, and was pro bounced by cotnpetent judges there to be sound and merchantable, but on its arrival at Liverpool, the trader who of - Jared to buy it, went back on his offer, pleading that it was not in good con- dition. It was then sold to Mr. Jubal Webb, at 4d. per lb,, and was sampled at Kensington lately, in the presence of Marquis of Lorne, Sir Charles Tup- per, and about fifty guests. Within a rind of four or fire inches, the big cheese was found to be of excellent hwere made flavor, and speechesupon a it, and the fact emphasized that of the g the Chicago awards • h forcheese atC 414a alts c, E Fair Canada obtained 869, and the United States 45 only, The big cheese of 22,000 lbs, kept its quality all through the semi -tropical heat of the Liberal Arts Building, and when cut up in London was found still in such good condition that samples of it will be sent broadcast over England as evi donee of what Canada can produce, and as said before, a quantity of it will come back to Canada, in order that our people may be satisfied of its gen- ttineness, 1 here were fully three hundred peo pte prmncnacting Main street Saturday aveming who no doubt came out to hear the first of the new band's series of ope=n air concerts.
