NOTES, AND COMMENTS At, the North Middlesex Liberal Con- ventioa held in Ansa Oraaigon Monday. W. 1'l,.' Taylor las the unanimous choice for re-election to the Legtski- titre, The Galt Football team last week distinguished themselves by winning the Championship of America, at St. Louis. The Toronto. News (Independent) in a long article on "Justice is'Paralized" says. -.'•It has come to this in the Province of Ontario that whena crime is committed in the name of the Lib- eral party the arm of the law is para- lyzed." ** The recount case in Wentworth has been decided in favor of the Conserva- tive Candidate, Mr. E. D. Smith. The judge threw oat all the ballots in one division, where Mr. W. O. Seeley, Liberal, had a majority of 25. The ballots were thrown out because the secrecy of the ballot was destroyed by the deputy returning officer 'lumber- ing, them. Smith's majority is 10. * *• "That portion of the Plectorswho turn the scale in elections no longer look at the party name when prepar- ing to mark their ballots; they look at the policy a party or a candidate stands for; and electors of this class will find in the platform laid down by Mr, Whitney much that is in accord with the best thought of the Province." —Goldwin Smith, in the Weekly Sun. The nomninationsin the Province of Quebec took place on Friday, Nov. 18, and the elections take place on the 25th. There are only eight straight part fights, as the Conservatives ob- jected to the hasty manner in bring- ing on the election. The following is. the nomination summary:— Liberals by acclamation 35.

Total 74 Hon. J. R. Stratton in a letter to the Premier, Hon. Geo. W. Ross, has resigned the portfolio of Provincial Secretary, and gives as his main rea- son the pressure ofrivate business. The Toronto News (Independent) of Saturday bas the following comment on his resignation:—"Mr. Stratton, iu an interview published in THE GLOBE, says that he leaves the public institu-' tions of Ontaria iu much better con- dition than they were live years ago. The expenditure is a million dollars a year, and not a dollar has been wrong- fully spent. Prison reform has made good progress, the license law has been impartially p y and strictly administered. Legislation for the promotion of the public health has been enacted, and in ins i u t t tr ns established for consump- tives. The more one reads this, the more the wonder grows that Mr. Ross should have let his colleague go. It would have been far better to have, removed some weak or wicked partner such as THE GLOBE referred to in its famous barnacle article. The friends of the Government have often expati- ated on the evil ofputting a lot of inexperienced Oppositionists in the place of the Ministers, and now some novice is to succeed Mr. Stratton. In- stead of the barnacles being removed with an iron hand, the Premier's most esteemed' colleague is jarred loose from his office with a chest of silver." Centralia Miss 'K. Handcock, of Toronto, is the .guest of her sister, Mrs. W. R. Elliott.—Service was held in the church on Thanksgiving morning and was largely attended. DEATH of "Miss MCCoY.-The old biblical proverb, "In the midst of life' we are in death" has againbeen sadly manifested in our midst by the death of Miss Margaret Irwin McCoy, eldest daughter of Mr. Samuel McCoy, who died after a short illness from pneu- :monia. Miss McCoy was an estimable "young lady,dearly loved and respected by all who had the pleasure of her ac- quaintance and her sad death has cast a gloom over the whole community. Deceased is survived by her parents and brother, Samuel, and sister, Re- beeca, all of whom will have the pro- found sympathy of their many friends.

No. 7 have en- gaged Miss E. Chidley, of Clinton•, as teacher for 1905. The trustees are to be congratulated on securing so effic- • ient a teacher. The present teacher, Mr. Gordon Manning, found that the number of his scholars dwindled down to one solitary girl recently, owing to the prevalence of whooping cough in the section; Like a good Samaritan he went about trying to restore his pu- pils to good health:—Probably the old- est voter in the County of Huron, is.

Long, of Harrow, a former pastor of the Methodist church here, occupied his old pulpit on Sunday. While here he had the pleasure of a kindly greeting from many old friends and admirers, although, as he stated himself, a few changes were noticeable in the people since his removal. Butit was evident from the congregation which greeted him that he still retains a warm place in the affections of the people here. We are sure that all who were present went home much benefitted by the discourse, for as an earnest, plain, prati= cal gospel expounder, Mr. Long has grown as years have passed and exper- iences multiplied, while he has lost none of that magnetism which enables him •to attract the multitudes.—Mr. James B. McLean, who bas been very i11 for some time, is we are sorry to state, not improving as rapidly as his friends would wish.—Rev. Mr. McLen- nan conducted anniversary services in St. Andrew's church on Sunday. ANt'i iviiRSA.ItY SERVICES,—The an- niversary services in connection with the Methodist church on Sunday week were a gratifying success. There were large congregations at all three servic- es, which were conducted by Rev. Mr. Salton, of London, who preached most able discourses. He bas a most pleas- ing way of putting the gospel truths befoye his audiences. His language is simple and he bolds the attention of his audience throughout. On the prev- ious Sunday, the pastor; Rev. Shaw, announced to the congregation the amount be would like to have as afree- will offering, and it is most gratifying to know thatthe congregationrespond- ed so liberally, that the sum asked for was not only given, but there was a liberal balance. Excellent music was furnished by the choir with Miss Kemp of Hensall, as organist. It was a most pleasant part of the services which the choir took and they are to be congrat- ulated on the excellent music furnish- ed. The collections amounted to $80.

M. STEWART, General Manager: To the Shareholders: We beg to enclose herewith condensed comparative statement of the Bank's position at the close of the fiscal Half Year, and at the corresponding date last year. You will observe large increases in Deposits, Loans, Oash and Total As- sets. The Note Circulation is as close to the legal limits'as we think it prud- ent to allow, and we have been obliged to pay out notes of other banks at the large offices for the past six weeks. Trade in Canada on the whole is satisfactory, and the Bank's business is increasing in every direction. We have over 25,000 customers, and we think. we can safely say they are well satisfied with the service and treatment they receive. Only six of our customers have failed since the Bank started, and of these three paid us in full, the others being quite small accounts. We mention this fact to give you some idea -'ofthe high quality of the Bank's clientele. The ,Bank's Assets are in first-class condition, and the profits are highly satisfactory; no serious losses having been sustained this year—or, in fact, since we commenced business. The Bank is very well and favorably known in the United States, Great Britain and Europe, and our business with these countries is growing rapidly. Outside capital is being directed to Canada, and we are frequently asked for information regarding sites for manufacturing purposes, etc. Whenever American concerns that we have assisted in this way located where we had branches, the Bank secured their accounts. There is but one matter of regret that we have to report and thatis the re- tirement of the President at an early date. The Bank's business has now as- sumed such proportions that it is desirable to hold Board meetings more fre quently than has hitherto been necessary, and as such meetings are held at the Head Office, in Toronto, Mr. Holt (who resides in Montreal) finds it impos- sible to attend as often as he desires. In accordance with the policy which bas prevailed since its inception, of managing the Bank to the mutual advantage of -both Shareholders and Custo- mers, we have decided to pay interest on deposits quarterly hereafter, in- stead of only twice a year. Shareholders who have not already opened Savings and Deposit Accounts with us are invited to avail themselves of this opportunity. Please note that any sus-gestions you wish to offer regarding the Bank or the furtherance of its business will always be gladly received. The whole staff have worked hard and successfully, to give the Sharehold- •ers a thoroughly safe and profitable institution, and the Directors and my- self will appreciate your co-operation inmaking the Sovereign Bank a power, not only in your own neighborhood, but throughout the entire Dominion. It is not customary for Canadian bankers to address their Shareholders on such matters as the above except at the annual meeting, but we have done so from the outset, our policy beiug to keep the Shareholders of the Sovereign Bank fully and correctly informed about their own institution as frequently as possible. We also feel that such information as this letter contains will convey a much better idea as to the real condition and business of the Bank than the most detailed statement of figures alone .could possibly reveal, Your obedient servant.

T. R., one :mile and a quarter north of Harriston, by Alexander Michie. of this town, just.a few rain- rates before the 3:50 express from the north was due. The boy's hands were securely tied behind his hack and a bicycle was found near the trace, evi- dently to ,throw off suspicions. The boy's story is that he and a man nam- ed Jim, with the boy's father, carne from New York Saturday via Buffalo went to Palmerston last ni�ht, and slept on a lumber pile. The boy says his name is Leo Body, the ether man he knows as Jim, was mot at Buffalo. It looke like a deliberate attempt et murder and an effort will be made to discover the perpetrators of the out- rage. It has been since learned that the youth has been identified as Leo Burns. Mr. P. Burns. of Tor- onto, coal and wood dealer, secured the lad a position at J. W, T. Fair - weather's, and it is claimed, he left suddenly, taking his employer wheel with hire.
