Tait eean9u le approeobieg for the an - mull meeting of the Verniers' 7fnnt t n and there ehoald be a rallying at every meeting. Announcement may be found in another oolaren of Eeet Huron regular eneetiage. In addition to these supple- mentary meetings will also be held at a litter date. NAv:oATzoN has pontinaed on the lakes and rivers this Beason much longer than in some yeere and the Soo oapal ie only closing tbie week for the Winter. There are nautili more comfortable Jobe, how ever, at this season of the year than sail- ing, es more than one poor fellow has found out. Tads Provincial . Winter Fair, held at Guelph last week, was the most scones. ful gathering of the kind ever held in Ontario and ie now air established insti- tution with a record. It was attended by people from almost every section of the Province and the addressee and ex• perimente were of a very praotical obaraoter. TREBLE the number of men required for the Third Contingent to South Africa' ooeld be obtained in the Dominion .if they were wanted. In many instating the ranks are being filled by those who have already put in Herein in South Africa and are degrees of returning. This is not a bad recommend either ae to the loyalty of the subject or fhe treat- ment received on past pensions. NEXT Wednesday ushers in what should be the brigbtett day of the year -the birthday cf the World's Redeemer. His infiaenoe is greater in the world today than at any former period and will con- tinue to inorease so long ae Hie repre• eentativee on this earth are true to the principles He inculcated by His life and in Hie Word. "All Hail the power of Teens' name, Let angels prostrate fall, Bring forth the royal diadem And crown Him Lord of all." A veer ecthuoiaatio Convention was held by the Manitoba Liberate last week at Winnipeg and by unanimous vote Hon. Tboo. Greenway, the well known ex Premier was chosen to lead the van. guard in the next election 000teet. It is confidently expected that there will be a reversal in Government affairs in that "Province and that Hon. Mr. Greenway will 000e more be Premier. The Liberals have been taught a lesson and will not be caught napping ae they were at the last contest. IT ie proposed to ask the next Legio'a. tura for a grant of 51,000 to establish a rural lendiug library in school seotione throughout Ontario. The proposition ie that for every dollar the Government would give in a yearly grant that the eeo- tioo should give 52 or 53 and in this way make it poaeible for every family in the localityto be well served with the beet literature of the day at a very nominal expense. Every year is adding to the broader and better oonditioa of rural municipalities, and we have no .doubt the above proposition will be greeted with oonaiderable eatiefaotion as it would na- doubtedly be a great boon to any nom. inanity if consummated. flying rrgtdired or rieif ran ea the people hese been gradually growing into better methods through the introduction of grading and 'atone oruehing meobiuee, road rollero, gement tile for enlverte, &o, This le a trieetion that reiatee very o100e, ly to every taxpayer ae a great deal of lilbor and money epeut in so galled read making was in reality that mach toil and U each very nearly vented, We would like to see the munioipalitiee ventilate the God Roads nnhjeot, believing that the more public disoueaion and oaraful haves tigation the sooner modern methods will be pat ipto exeroiee, Brussels Council. The statutory meeting of Brneeele Doueoil wee held last Mondey evening with the Reeve and Oounoillore Render' son, Wilton, Donaldson and Gerry in attendance.

ON page 3 of this issue may be found the official returns of the regent bye election held in 'Wet Huron. They aboo'd be preserved for reference as the general election will eoon be at hand, It will be seen by the returns from the raral manioi p elitiee that very little ohange Vette made in the vote from the former election, indicating that clap -trap talk does not out much ice with the ordinary intelligent elector and it looks as if the loud trumpeting about the downfall of Hon. John Dryden because he had a few donate invested in Dakota was not taken very maob to heart by the farmer voter. The worst Fret back to the Opposition oandidate was that his own polling plane and hie own townebip said they did not want him. It is said theta will be a change of oaodidatee on both aides for nest jun, 'a contest. For the Liberals the name. of Warden Holt, Barristers Prondfoot and Cameron and D. 'McGilli Duddy have been mentioned while Bar- rister Dudley Holmes an d Co. Counofllare Oonnollyand Lookhart are on the oerpet as probable nominees at the Conservative Convention. Manitoba Crops.
