The Tuckersmith Council met Oct.

road between lots 5 and (3, concessions
7 and 8, 140 rods, was let to George
Strong, at 40 cents per rod. Mr. ()H-

certificate of the engineer in charge.
A very happy and pleasant event
took place Oct. Oth, at the home of Mr.
andMrs. J. Flick, Coleborne township,
.when they gave away their daughter
Lydia to Mr. Lewis Baker from Elkton
Mich. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. J. C. Morlock, of Listowel and
was witnessed by a large nmuber of
friends, some coming from Zurich,
Clinton, Goderich, Seaforth, South
Cayuga and Hullett, about 80 in all.
The bridesmaid was Miss Emma Baker
and Mr. Jno. Flick assisted the groom.
The bride is very popular in social cir-
cles and as zealous workerin the church,
having sang in the choir a long time.
The groom is also well and favorably
known. He is a respectable farmer in
the vicinity of Elkton, Mich., Where
their permanent residence will be in
the future.
The benefit derived from an adver
tisement depends altogether upon the
number of persons who read it. To
reach the greatest. number of readers
at the Ieast possible expense, is a
question that should be considered
very carefully by business men. A
thousand small bills printed in Tor-
onto or London, and distributed in
this section, would be just as effective
as if the bill had been printed in town.
There is not a doubt about that, but if
you want to reach the people in their
homes, newspaper advertising is the
only successful way. To get the best
results use the paper with the largest
circulation, and thegreatest amount of
local news. Circulation is the proper
basis upon whichpricesshould befixed.
If a newspaper with a circulation of
2,000 charges $100 per year, then one
with a circulation of 600 would be entitl-
ed to $30. An advertiser should take
these facts into careful consideration,
when making contracts. Another fre-
quent loss to advertisers is in the use
of several papers when one covers the
ground. THE TIMES is read by more
people in Exeter, Usborne, Stephen,
say, the northern part of Biddulph
and McGillivray than ell other county
papers combined, and an advertise-
ment placed in it will be found' the
most effectual way in which to reach '
the people.
