THURSDAY, Dec. 20, '06 NOTE AND COMMElTS Once again Stratford is discussing the prospect of building a railway along the Cantin route to Lake Huron.. Five good live men are needed to transact Exeter's business for next -year. Several applications are already dn.. A Galt minister characterises danc- ing as "moral leprosy“. Like -some other diseases uearly everyone is more •dr less affected. Hamilton will have to pay dearly for their little strike. Two accounts amount to $5,875.59. It is not all fun to sympathize with strikers. B. B. Gunn, M. P., for South Huron presented a petition of 35 constituten- cies in the House of Corumonson Mon- day against the continuance of the the bounties on steel and iron. The name of Mr. John Brown of near Greenway is favorably mentioned as a likely candidate in the Stephen muni - election. Mr. Brown is a man of good judgment and possessed of un- questionable ability. The liquor men of Toronto are each giving $10 to charity at Xmas instead *of giving away free drinks to their ;patrons. Not a bad example to people 'who make agreater profession of good 'works than the hotelman. It is said that the Central •Ontario -Railway Company will ask permission :next year to run a line from Wiarton to London, which. would meana paral- lel line to the London, Huron & Bruce. 'The plans are now being drawn. The chainless letters are on the go again. One lardy last week received no less than four. Needless to say she *confined them to the waste. basket 'where they belong. Such ridiculous ;nonsense is inexcusable in this age. Were all the people who .spend so many dollars in costly Christmas pre- .sents for their friends to look after the wants of the poor and see that their lives were made a little more cheerful during the festive season it would add greatly to the sum total of happiness in the world. The advisory council of education ;recently elected are to have the right •-of appointment .of ex i examiners of exam- ination papers, as well as to advise as to text books, etc. These are moyes in the public interest. The public has already paid too dearly for books used in the schools '.because they h were y 'changed too otten and the book ring got too much profit. The scarcity of anxious candidates for municipal honors in town wakes the onlooker begins to think that the honor is not valued very highly. After sizing the whole thing up one. would came to the conclusion that there is little honor, considerabe work, plenty of worry and no money in the job. Isn't it about time that men were paid to sit at the council board and take everybody's abuse? For that Dandrufj There: is one thing that will cure it—Ayer's Hair Vigor.
