In older Canada at least where trees eats be grown withlittle effort farm values could be increased, and the country made a more pleasant place in which to live by a Tittle twee planting, What is more picturesque ansi attractive than S01110 of the `old farm homes nestling ids a cluster• of trees and whose eur- raunclings• have .been planned with same 'sense of the artistic. The pity of it is that many of these old places have been. allowed to lose their old- time attractiveness. In some cases they have changed ownership, and the new owner has neglected: to keep things up to the old standard. In oth- ers succeeding generations. Have ne- glected to keep up the good work dome by their fathers, and the old home in consequence lacks the at- tractiveness of the old days. True, many of these old homes,' were not as convenient, nor as sanitary as the modern type of to-day,,yet many of them had an attractiveness when view ed from the roadside "that is entirely lacking in some of the more up -to date one's.

FIRE AT GODERICH, Goderich, April 25.--A disastrous fire broke out this morning about 1.30 un the 'general delivery -barns "behind East street garage°and before it was got under control it burnt to- the ground the general delivery stables, four horses, D. Gardner's horse, out - ate and stables; the house behind the town. hall used for staling the sup- plies <fox No.. company of the 33rd Regiment and tool house for the town: The blacksmith shop used by Geo, Johnston and owned by John Walket aanci part of Knoe'e implement shop, These buildin,gs all being frame burn ed h ketet d under the strong east wind The firemen made a hard fight and only for the old engine aeavy pressure the whale block would have been. wiped out, The cause of the Lire is a mystery and it most ,havebeen going .=orae time as the whole interior of the sta- bles was ablaze when the firemen got to work In the No, 1 company 'tore - room everything was burt eetept the rifles : Several of the edjoinin build- ings caught fire laud only for the work of volunteers the loss would have been much greater GRANTED 'THREE.' MONTHS EX- 0 'TENSION, As expected tbe License Commis - toners of South • Huron at their meet- ing in H•ensall on Wednesday of est week granted an extension of three months to the lecense holders ;n the riding in artier to give them time to sell oft their stock. Those who were given the extension were: Ex- eter W T, Acheson, T. Newell; Hen- . sell W J. Perkins acid F. Carlin; Grand Pend Jos. Brenner; Dashwood, Win Zimmer; Creciitoan, August Hill; i Centralia Wm. Moffatt; Bayfield, l-larry Darrow ansi Mrs, M. El1'ott. l The, makes the third interpretation of the Scott Act vote i. Huron.

Powell witted en . :he commissioners, protesting against any extens:oca of time. 1 If theLondon osu on Advertiser can be believed in its report of the Licens , Commissioners meeting at Hensai.11ast week one would come to the conclu- i siotn that common sense, decency, and c honor justice is confined to 7 m only 4 y 1 ,a few people of tbfs county. The hcensc commissioners are told "to square themselves with the Public" by keeping a suppased promise made by another anran, on penalty of two other men. losing their seats in the Legis- lature. In other words, if Messrs t Middleton, Delbridge and Ehnes, the commissioners, did not keep a i ro•- i mise claimed to have been, made by lion ,W; J. Hanna (who is big enough to stance behind his own promises), then the "big stick" is going to see that the Conservative members, ",Ius- grave and Eilber, never sit in Parlia- ment again. These commissioners are men, of sense and according to their en.owlec1g . have done what they thought was right, just as nine -tenths of the' people of HucroWn, would have done but their action gave the "big stick' a chance to show his political bias and ; to try to connect' the Con- servative party With the.

Government in the Manitoulin case had -been to cwt off the licenses' and that was the policy* which we proposed to adopt in this case. If we followed • our course as in. Manitoulin, there would be a three months' ex- tension of license privileges,” That has been Mr. Hanna's prpansse all the way through and it is very reasonable, as Mamitoulirt is the only precedent there is to follow, but why on earth Hanna adds the fallowing words, "whether. we will do that io the .case of Huron and "Peel. I am not pa-epared to say" when as he knew there were only two days before the lst of May, is more than we can guess. He nnust surely have knowledge of what the License commissioners : have done, and if so, it is tit e- he made a definite statement. LOGIE SOCIETY BAZAAR The Bazaar held by the Logie Mis- cionary Society of Caven Presbyterian Cliurclt on Friday proved a decided success The Opera House was scarcelyerecogniz able in its gala at- tire arrayed as it was in, bunting and flags ;while the daintily covered lunch tables added not a little to the beauty of the roolin. The centre of attraction, was, however, the fables upon which were displayed a variety of articles all inviting buyers. On one table were displaYed aprons of many kinds and degrees, boudoir caps end clusting caps, cook bags, travelling bag.: and other articles too numerous to mention, all rivalling each cahe- in use and beauty, The domestic table showed ,in a marked degree theeffic- iency of the Exeter ladies in the cul- inary art, while the table upon which was shown the home made candyand maple sugar was second to none in attractiveness, and certainly not in sweetness. The :ladies in charge of the clifferent tables displayed marked ability and grace in waiting upon their customers Lunch was served y .he girls gracefully and attentively, 'Coo much cannot be said of those who presided behind the screen, in snaking ane p'tss;ng• out "the cup, which cheers but not inebriates." In the evening an entertainment was given itt the Con cert hall coh•sistinig of music by the orchestra under the able leadership of Mr `Feeble 'nstrumentalson the plana by Misses McFall, Quackenbush and Snell solos by Misses Follick and Dai-liing, and Willie Manson, a duet by Misses Chowen and Treble, a quar- tetts. by Mesdames Meditate ;Dare Clark and.

The Exeter Loage o Oddfello,vs to the that :bei of seventy' celebrated the anniversary of their order oil `xunclay mos—sanemos-sane last by attending divine avor- ship in the James Street . Methodist Church when <i very interesting and inseructive sermon was preached by the pastor' Rev, W. G. H. McAlister. The t-ethresa met en. tlee Lodge Rooth at 10 o'clock and marshalled by Bea, Thos Boyle marched to rhe church On theirreturn the usual votes of thanks was tendered the ;Jas. tar ansathe officials of the church. The preacher, after welconi og the beethrea took for . his text,—"He set him on'' his own beast." Luke 10, '4, from wh:eb he pictured the aeautiful lesso,:i of brotherhood. in the eauese a' th : sermon he said;— The: text which I have choosen, is telsea fessa the Parable of the Good Samar. tan, and expresses in a few words the whole matter oe the par- able. The, traveller was journeying tsomt Jerusalem to Jericho, Terusalent Is one of the, most interesting . cities oe the world, unique in that thirteen m r.1 o ssf:of people twahen they Dray ,'tui- _ toward that city, Other enci nt cities have passed away but leruse- 1 eetn, sesee remaens. The road leadinz 10 iJericho -'has been described by one as Eke an 'angry sea with its great waves oaystal':red to rock and granite,— a very •rough country, which is eve,' to - dee ,-afested with robbers as in tee days oe our text,. Even. "so along the highways' of life art- dark places infested ,with robbers, villians and temptations. If we es- cape exam the temptations ve must n.at be Pharisees' andsay there was , o moat in :our unfortunate brother rho Sell L;1ce us the traveller hapse te airr've et his destenation safely, 'oat he was overtaken, robbed, ,vouad : i and left for dead, The Priest and h: Levitt probably pitied .him, bat they passed by, not so • the ' Samaritan, vy ho, had cot pa.ssioa on the injured wan, arch "set him an his own beast" ' It is easy to write a cheque, bat his god man. gave ail he bad of value as far as that journey was concerne-1 and htniiseli took the wounded tit-n'S place, te' b, n , us that we bosh put otielek'ues in the 'other" sateacees condition and understand his andira t meat tin artier to appreciate his 1st - tion We must get down to the ,.t.n;r mast's level to help him, remembering that much .of man's goodness is due to tht knowledge that he is 'baste watched and it is perhaps only a. difference of circumstances that .nekes one man better than the other. Lae actor o' this Samaritan teaches t s tee spirit of brotherhood—we ;,earn our weaknesses and strength; and thitt,: save another' we must assume itis ;,o,•- ition come down to his level.

Often the greatest successes arise from those the thought would, be failures. This parable teches that eeighbos love is superior to caste, The love' and impulse of the Christ heart has no . regard for caste or color. The miseries and sorrows of the world should appeal to us. If we live to the highest within us we must alleviate these miseries and sorrows. We wish to gc forth from this service remem- bering that we are brother to every maat The unfortunate who has fallen i,nto temptation has a soul and ]life as precious as another, and here we are to show that brother -love. Let us seek to get above the narrow pre- judices o; life like the good Samari- tan. who not only helped the 'man but Left word that he would pay further expense This parable is an example to all ages of the greatness of the broth er-love, SCOTT ACT AND LOCAL OPTION Aar important sttement has just been. issued by the license branch of the Pi ov`n'ial Secretary's department test e_n: the effect of the passing of the Scott Act in counties formerly partially under the lo.cai option 1.iw. It is pointed out that the passing of the Scott - Act automatically sus- pends the local option law, so soon as the foremer goes into effect, The passing of the, Scott Act by a county does not apply to a city within the county, as the city is empowered to vote or : the question by itself. There are vital differences :n the penalties under the two laws, rhe lo- cal option law being much more strin- gent Under local option the penalty, for selling (first offence) is from $100 to 8500 Under the Scott Act $50 and fon a. second offence $100, A second offence under local 'option calls for imprisonment without rhe option of a fine, Por- a third offence the penalty is imprisantnent snider both acts Uncler local option a' eearch may be made without a warrant, but a war- rant is necessary before taking ec- tioan under the Scott Act, The pow - or of summary seizure is also denied 'wader the Scott Act. Under the t C n5 Scott Act he .Ontario license ec- t p, tors arc powerless, They cannot make a seizure with or without a warrant; They have only the standing of priv- ate citizens, the machinery of the law applicable its case of prosecution under local option law is entirely sus- penctec: wherever the Scott Act is brought into force, Death of Mrs, Campbell ---There pas- sed away at her home, Lot J, Con.- c.esaloc 2, Hay, another of the oldest settler:, of the tow,nshap, • in the per- son or Helen Brown, widow o1• the.
