Money 'Spent on. 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..
Try a system of liberality in the mat-
ter of advertising expenditure and
mark the result.
More of the Bi r Cheese.
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

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,

The Local Election

circles, although outside of ministerial
quarters the faithful have not yet got

1Uore Lottery Tickets Confiscated.
The lottery business wilt not down.
A couple of weeks ago the London cus-

of lottery tickets for men in London
and vicinity. Saturday eight more
packages were confiscated. Part of
them were addressed to parties in
. London and the rest to persons in Exe
ter, Newbury, Bothwell and elsewhere.
The great Louisiana lottery is no more
but its spirit seems to live in some

"No more useful handbook for any
reader can probably be found than the
interesting volume which the Mail is
now publishing, under the above title.
The review of the political events of
last year is such alone as to commend
it to notice, while the amount of infor-
mation it contains on a variety of sub-
jects is such as to make it an indis-
pensible companionof those who would
be abreast of the times. The gratifying
reception it has met with is the best
criterion of its quality. Among other
contributions there is a spirited sketch
of the World's Feir, by `Kitt," the popu-
lar author of The Woman's Kingdom,
while the illustrations are beautiful
and numerous," 50 cents a copy.
