WHAT about reviving the Monthly
Horse Fairs in town and running them
in the months of February, Maroh and
April 7Last year the Council took the
initiative and aaoeesefuliy conducted
them. The horse market is low, of
course, yet animals will be wanted and
not a few would like to sell even at a re.
dilation as they are over.stouked.

clamntion, of the Council Board and
three Trustees for the School Board,
last Monday, passed by ve'y quietly.
In fact five of the person+ elected were
not even present. We are of the opinion
that it would be more satisfactory to the
ratepayers tcetterally to have had the
management of both Boards talked over
and questions asked and answered by
persoua interested. The better acquaint-
ed the public become with municipal
affairs the more sympathy they will
have with men who are endeavoring to
do their duty while holding office.
Even week shrews more plainly than
ever the necessity of a constable on the
streets of Brussels. The scenes enacted
last Monday evening were not creditable
to any village of the pretentione of this
place. There is also a gang of young lads
who apparently imagine that they own
the institution and display rowdyism in
various forme, from yelling like young
Indians to insulting ladies as they pass
on the street. Another thing that should
be done is to place men who become in-
toxicated and unable to care for them-
selves in the "cooler" and allow them to
sober off there and then bring them be-
fore a magistrate and give them some.

1HERESY tender my thanks to my nnmuJrous
i friends and customers for their patronage in
the past year. It was a venture u1 the right direc-
tion—The Cash System—and 1 am more than ecttls-
fiecl that it is the only snl'e way to an independent
position, both for buyer and seller. The Patron
gets fall value for his money and the Merchant is
enabled to go to the Wholesale Market, cash in
hand, where he can command the best prices and
biggest discounts which enables him to get goods at
the lowest price. Every person is looking for the
Cheapest Market and it is well known that where
goods are bought and sold on credit is not the
cheapest place. Neither can a Cash and Credit
Business be run successfully together as the credit
price is always asked, and in some cases Discount
is allowed on the Cash purchase, but the- lowest
prices cannot be got in a mixed business of Credit
and Cash. Many who have tried the Cash for the
last year are well satisfied. They have got through
the year and have no long bills to pay as in former
years ; 00- mistakes to dispute over ; they have not
got to pay for goods got by some man that is now
in the States or proven to be no good ; the family
have not run the father in debt, neither has any
other person got goods in their name. The articles
bought are all good when they are paid for, it is
only when the long bills come in that lots of the
goods marked we never got and others were not worth
halt the money. The Credit System is a sort of a
bonus to some people to do wrong and get goods at
the expense of their honest neighbors.. There are
lots of people who would not bark their neighbor's
note, but by practising the Credit system you give
them the opportunity of getting goods that they
never pay for and some one moat make up the dif-
ference. My customers have saved from $600 to
$700 in the last year by paying cash—I have sold
that much cheaper than in former years, on the
same amount.
•
I intend continuing the Cash Business for the
coming year and shall be in a position to do better
for those who will favor me with their patronage,
than I have done in the pas£. Hoping you will un-
derstand my true meaning and appreciate the cash
system. Wishing you all a Happy New Year,
I am Yours truly,
B. GERRY.
