After an illness lasting five months,
and from which it was known there
was no possibility of recovery from
the outset, notwithstanding the very
best medical attention, Miss Nellie
Leavenworth Holmes, third daughter
of Editor and Mrs. Holmes, died
Thursclay morning in her 22nd year.
Early in January she was laid up with
tubercular affection of the kidneys, al-
though previous to that time she ap-
peared to be in the best of health, and
has ever since been confined to bed.
She had many friends and unbounded
sympathy was manifested towards
hen -and thefamily, the members of
which feel that no expressed words of
appreciation can acknowledge the
many kindnesses shown during her
illness. The funeral took place to
Clinton Cemetery, Saturday after-
noon.
Many readers will be both surprised
and grieved to learn of the death of
Miss Clara H. Mountcastle, which oc-
curred ou Sunday May 21th. She had
been in poor health for several years
but the public had no idea she was as
seriously ill as circrunstances proved.
She was one of the earliest settlers in
the town, being born here the year of
the rebellion, 1837. This may account
for her strong nervous temperament.
for she was ever working for the im-
provement of her fellow beings, moral-
ly and intellectually, especially the
children. As an artist she ranked
among the highest, as the many, dis-
appointed applicants for instruction in
painting can testily, and her poetry
will live in the years to come as it is
true to nature and easily understood.
The esteem in which she was held was
shown by the Mayor and Councillors
of the town being her pall -bearers.
She was a daughter of the' late S.
liountcastle, and leaves three sisters
and. one brothel: to mourn the loss of
a much loved sister; Ellen and Eliza
ab the Wigwam ; Mrs. Smeltzer, in
Meaford ; Edmund, of Dundalk, The
funeral took place NVeclnesday after-
noon to Clinton cemetery, Rev. C.
R. Gonne conducting the services.

Political Pointers
Vote early 00 iVIOLICIEly, bet yea can't
vote often unless yeu live in Toronto.
There every man is given two ballots at
this election,
Mr. Currie should have a majority of
IrOin 40 to 6o in Morris township, This
will be the best way to teach the lesson
that the electors believe in fair play in
selecting candidates and preserving the
distribution of boundaries in co:asthma-
dios.
Here is something for the farmers to
think about. During the last week of
the session the Whitney Government
guaranteed Cs, soo,000 bonds of a
wealthy corporation. Would they
guarantee your mortgages so that you
could get money for 3 per cent instead
of 0 per cent ?
Mr. Porter says he expects to win
next Monday in Centre Huron, Noth-
ing like keeping optimistic even in the
face of the unfairness of running in a
hive built by his own party. We hope
tbe Government will do the square with
the nominee after June Sib.
Teacher Musgrove should learn to
recite the old reader sonnet .-
"Bet children you should never let
Your angry passions rise.
Your little hands were made
To tear each other's eyes,"
Because Minister of Education Pyne
says "his enemies can go to the devil
and shake themselves" should be no
valid reason for Principal Musgrove
losing his head and saying nasty things
behind people's backs even if be does
hope to be the coming Miuister of
Education.
CENTRE HURON.
Thos. D. Johnson, of Clinton, con.
dacted nominations in. the town hall.
Clinton, Monday from re to 2 o'clock.
Andrew Porter, Conservative candidate,
was nominated by M. Broderick, of
Seaforth, and seconded by J. B. Hoover',
of Clinton. William Proedfoot, the
Liberal candidate, was nominated by
Thos. Cottle, Clinton, and. seconded by
John Watt, Bedeck, Mr. Porter's fin-
ancial agent is E. L. Dickenson, of
Goderith, and Mr. Proudfoot's J. H.
Robertson, of Goderich. After the
nominations were closed, addresses were
made by the two candidates, and Thos.
McMillan and Rev. J, Elliott,
NORTH HURON.
The Provincial election nomination
came 011 111 the Town Hall at Wingbain
last Monday under the direction of Re-
turning Officer McQuillan. Nominees
were J. T. Currie, of East Wawanesh,
and A. H. 1VInsgrove, of Wing -Intra.
At the close of the statutory time a
platform meeting was arranged for
Mayor Holmes occupying the chair.
Addresses were given by Arch. Hislop,
Geo. Spotton, J, T. Currie, A., H. Mus.
grove and Dr. P. Macdonald. The
speeches were good aud were listened
to in about the same style as is custom-
ery on such occasions, some believing
one side and others pinning their faith
to the opposite.
It is said the tremen-
dous majority counted on for the Gov-
ernment candidate. iu Wingham has
slightly faded.
Candidate Musgrove waxed, very
wroth at the Nomination meeting at
Wingham on Monday, at THE POST, SO
we are told, flew right off the handle but
we are pleased to learn, by letter from.
Wingham, that by his personalities he
converted two electors to vote for Mr.
Currie. There have been other times
Mr, Musgrove has wielded, in
Huron Co., the weapon originally
bronght into use by Sampson and he
will lose the vote next Monday of minty
by these passionate outbersts on former
occasions. This is not the proper mode
to convert people from the error of their
ways either politically or deuonaination-
ally. A burdock or rhubarb leaf, plus
a small piece of ice, should be worn in
his hat until after Monday.
Mr. Elliott at the meeting 'TeesdAY
evening at Brussels gave figures to
prove that Municipalities were receiv-
ing more from hotel licenses now than
under the Liberal Government. Our
figures don't tally with his and some-
body must be wrong. The ones we
quote are taken from the town Treasur-
er's books of BrusSels, lo 01o4., tinder
Liberal rule, Shoo was collected from the
3 hotels here and the town received
$288.00 as tbeil' share, Igoe under Mr.
Whitney $750.00 WRS charged and $934.-
38 came back to the treasury. Last
year, teo7; $8imoo was gathered froni
the three hotels and Briissels' Share was
$262 so. Larger license fees were as,
sessed but the increase went to the Gov-
ernment and not to the municipalities,
Mr. Elliott likely has air explattatioe but
the above are facts and may be easily
verified.:
The gerrymander has had this effect ;
it liAt shown absolute cowardice it the
the Premier, who is afraid to go to the
country, although he has a majority of.
forty fear at his back, without having
recourse to this unfair gerry-
mender hill, tied worse than this, it has
shaken confidence ' of thousands of
people in his bonesty, because he was SO
loucl.inonthed in his profession that the
bill would he a fair one. 11) every
ebAnge that WaS made the Conservatives
gained, and in not a single instaace 18
there tiny 'advantage to the Liberals.
The Independent and even some of the
Conservative pressfrankly Admitted
that the argereents of the Liberal 113010.
bers were not et all inet during the
debate. "The World" which is strong-
ly Conservative,. on Aptil 7, 1908, stet -
ea emphatically that the arguments
hula° by Messrs, MolCay and Bowman
had tot been at all mot by Conserve.
