As one who has attended a number of

Out our railway debt, and the small ant't
they have raised annually to do so, has
not been felt. 'Would it, therefore, not bo
the height of folly to turn them out and
accept leen who have had no municipal ex-

advieablo to re-elect the old council and
let them finish paying oil the debt. I did
not support some of the present Council
in past years. but now 1 cannot awe how
any person, who has his own intonate as

(Too late for last week)
BRixrs.—The dedication eerolees of the
re -opening of the Methodist ohuroh, on the
Base Line, took ;place on Sunday. There
was preaching in the church both morning
and evening. On Monday a large crowd,
nothwithstanding the wet weather and the
bad state of the roads, assembled, and after
having enjoyed themselves in partaking of
the bountiful supper prepared by the ladies
of that appointment, they rallied to hear
the powerful and eloquent addresses of rev•
era]: well-read speakers. The tea, together
with the collections, has almost, if not en-
tirely, cleared the debt. We hope that
they may have a pleasanter time than they
ever had in the onurch before.—There are
rumors to the effect that all the old oounoil
purpose running again. A change might
do no serious harm to the township. —The
Grits are again busying themselves for the
comi tg election. Poor fellows ! they always
have to be on the move to get their men to
stick to their leader.—There will be a big
social in connection with the Fourth Line
Methodist church Sunday School on Deo.
24, Christmas Eve.—The Blanchard cheese
factors sold tbeir last cheese for the season
last week. Thia faotory has done justice to
all the people who sent milk. All are well
satisfied with the way in which it has been
carried on, and it is to be hoped that it
may. continue.
(This week's.)
BRIEFS.—At the Conservative meeting
held in the township hall on Wednesday
last the following officers were elected
Pres, John Burns; Vice Pres, W Hutchins;
Sec, Charles Robinson; Tress, Reuben:
Switzer; an executive committee was ap-
pointed for each of the wards.—'rhe Pat-
rons of Industry are thinking seriously of
running a Fatron as their oandid lte in the
coming election. The Liberals are the
most interested in this movement as they
are getting slightly tired of the manner in
which their old leader James Trow, ex -M.
P. has been doing business for the riding.
The special quality of Ayer's Hair Vigor ii
that it restores the natural growth, color,
and texture ;,of the hair. It vitalizes the
roots and follioles, removes dandruff, and.
heals itching humors in the scalp. In this
respect, it surpasses all similar prepara-
tions.
