CLINTON.
Judge Holt has again adjourned the
Clinton local option scrutiny, mandam-
us is being asked for by W. Proudfoot,
K. C., representing the local option
party, which will allow the Judge to
take evidence regarding the alleged
tampering with the ballots of St. John's
Ward.
The temperance people still claim that
the original return as given by the de-
puty returning officer and agreed to by
the poll clerk, two scrutineers and two
candidates for Council, who helped him
with the counting, was the correct one,
viz: -84 for the by-law and 51 against,
and as a further of this a committee
has been at work in the ward, and 78
of the 84 have already signed sworn de-
clarations that they did on January 6th
last mark their ballots for local option.
The antis were evidently afraid of
this last move, as anonymous letters
were sent to the voters of this ward
advising them not to make any declar-
ations as to how they had voted, for
fear of being called into court. But
the voters were not to be "scared off"
in this way, and in most cases were
quite willing to assist in exonerating
the deputy,, who, it would appear, had
made a false statement, as the Judge
now finds only 69 ballots marked, chang-
ing the majority from 33 to 5.
The scrutiny has caused more discus-
sion than the campaign itself, and has
been the leading topic for several'
weeks, and the outcome is being look-
ed for with a great deal of interest.

be of denominational, personal, social,

to mention any legitimate event it is
purely an oversight on our part, We

atitute, Guelph and expert demonstrat-
or will demonstrate bread and pastry
making to the ladies of Bluevale, in
the Foresters' Hall, Saturday, March
1st, showing how easy it is to make the
nicest and lightest bread in four hours;
also' 'showing easy methods of pastry
making, Miss McPhee comes here
highly recommended from all parts of
Canada and is a pleasing demonstrator
of the highest order. Every lady in
the village and surrounding country

stration and hear some of the latest

Every meeting of the Literary Social
and Debating Society seems to be bet-
ter than the last. The motto on the
black -board at the Iast meeting read,
"Every member a helper" and this
seems to be the spirit that animates the
Society. In spite of the stormy weath-
er and bad roads the school room on Feb.
12th was packed. The event of the ev-
ening was the debate:- "Resolved, that
life west of Winnipeg offers greater ad-
vantages than life east of Winnipeg."
The fact that, with others, such well-
known speakers as J. W. King,A. Mac-
Ewen, Robert Black and A. L. Posliff,
were in the opposing ranks assured the
success of the debate from the first and
it was thoroughly enjoyed by the great
audience present. The judges, J. F.
McCracken, Miss Cora M. Messer and
Walter Smillie were unanimous in awar-
ding the victory to the negative. The
other numbers on the program were
very enjoyable. Wm. Speirs and Har-
old Kearney gave several violin duets
accompanied by Miss Annie Spence and
delighted their hearers by the skill. and
sweetness of their playing. The Rut -
tan orchestra was popular as usual and
Bert Grazier was warmly received in
his mandolin solos. A novel number
was a recitation in German by Miss
Lillian McCall and Miss Lila Gray read
"The Cremation of Sam McGee".
Misses Stella and Laura Turvey con-
tributed a duet and Fred Johnston a
song and the audience joined in singing
"Jingle Bells" with laughing chorus.
The Literary Society has justified its
existence, if in no other way, by the
excellent quality of the entertainment
provided at a merely nominal cost.
Next Wednesday night there will be an-
other debate "The pen is mightier than
the sword." As the captains are Mrs.
Robt. Black and Miss Irene MacEwen,
people will have an idea what to expect.
A Mean Squeal.
Having raised their own sessional
idemnity from $4 to $5 per day, and in-
creased the County Clerk's salary from
;5750 to $800 per year, which with the
pickings accruing, makes it one of the
best paid County Clerkships in the Pro-
vince, the County Council raised a de-
cided kick when the Bruce printers asked
for a slight increase over the starvation
prices formerly paid for some of the
county printing here. What is sauce
for the goose should be sauce for the
gander, and it comes with bad grace
from fellows who have just increased
their own idemnity to kick at another
for increasing his.—The Bruce Herald
and Times.
