HURON Co. Council will have a Reform
majority this year something not often
known. As result the Warden will, in
all probability, following the usual cus-
tom, be of the same political belief. If
this be true TuE Posx proposes that
Reeve Milne, of Grey township, be placed
in the ohair for 1803. He is a well
known County Councill r understanding
the work perfectly and would fill the
position with credit to himself and the
County.
EAST' HURON REFORMERS.
The annual Convention of the Reform
Assnoiaticn of East Huron (Dominion
and Local) will be held in the Town Hall,
Brussels, on Friday, January 201h, 1803,
commencing at 1 p. m. Election of ofh.
oars and other busi hese matters will some
before the Couveutiou. Dr. Macdonald,
M. P„ and T. Gibson, M. P, P., are ex•
peoted to be present and address the
mooting. There should be a large at.
tendanoe from d1 section> of the Biding.
Lass. Monday the House of Industry
que tion came before a number of the
municipalities in Huron Go. Owing to
the ,arge number of elections by accla-
mation the vote will not be of nearly the
same value as had all expressed their
opi•iion. As itis the outlook is not bad
at all. Brussels gave 237 for and 25
against ; 8eaforth, 807 for and 51 against ;
Clinton, 303 for and 2d against ; wing•
ham, 805 for and 38 against. These
figures were not expected to be muoh
different but we are pleased to state that
the old township of Tuokersmith bas sot
an example worthy of following by giving
a good majority in favor of the rlonse of
Industry too. It is only a question of a
little time before this laudable enterprise
will be an aocomplished fact.

IHEREBY tender my thanks to my numerous
.LL friends and customers for their patronage in
the past year. It was at venture in the right direc-
tion ---The Cash System—and I am more than satis-
fled that it is the only sure ++ay to an independent
position, both for buyer and seller. The Patron
gets full value for his money and the Merchant is
enabled to go to the Wholesale Market, cash in
hand, where be Can command the best prices and
biggest discounts which enables him to get goods at
the lowest pries. 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 jn 80E10 cases Biseolult
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 no mistakes to dispute over ; they have not
to pay for goods got by some lean that is now
in the States or proven to be no good ; the family
have not run the father in debt, neither hay any
other person got goods in their nitnie. The articles
bought aro 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 half the money. The Credit System is a sort
of a bonus to sone people to do wrong and get
goods at the expense of their honest neighbors.
There are lots of people who would not back 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 must make up the
difference. My customers have saved a large amount
of money in the last year by paying cash 1 have
sold that much cheaper than in former years, on
the same amount.
I intend continuing the Cash System 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 past. 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. GE RM.

year usually selected for giving your friends a pleasant surprise or
remembrance in the way of presents, would bog to remind you that
we probably have just the article you would like for your child,
your father, mother, uncle, cousin or your aunt.
Some might appreciate a farm, a fine house or a fancy horse,
while others would be quite equally pleased with some of our nice
Silk, Linen or Lawn Handkerchiefs. Probably one of those Cream
Silk Crape Shawls, a pair of gloves, mitts or a lovely dress. If none
of these things will do, a pair of boots, shoos or slippers, a tie, bat
or cap and it may be a set of furs would be just the correct thing.
However, we have not the time, nor space, to enumerate the
many articles and prices we can offer you, but will try and wait 0n
Yon EsrsloxALLY amid the rnsh when you call, and show you some-
thing nice and cheap. Wishing you a Prosperous ancl Happy New
Year, I remain,
