FR.11),I Y, JAN. 15, 1886.
THE Grey Branch Directors, at
their meeting on Thursday after-
noon, talked up the proposed
change of show grounds a little,
but left the matter over for furth-
er consideration next Wednesday.
There is one thing certain, the
Board is convinced that something
new must be introduced to com-
pete with other agricultural shows,
and the general opinion is that
the old grounds are not in shape
for new attractions. If the Cale-
donian Society, and persons who
would like to see a driving. park
retained in Brussels will take an
interest in the scheme it should
succeed. Let us be united on this
matter.

THE United States may claim
superiority over Canada in some
things, and they are few, some of
them far from being worthy of
example. For •instance, in The
Philadelphia Press, of Dec. 4th,
there are no less than twenty-six
notices of applications for divorce.
So long as their laws on this
question remain as they are just
so long will the above state of things
exist. "What God has joined to-
gether let no man put asunder" is
thrown to the winds and for the
paltry sum of a few dollars, and
some trivial excuse, a divorce is
obtained. We have known some
sneaks who crossed the linos to
have the nuptial knot tied so that
in ease of disagreement the knot
could be untied. Away with these
breeders of discord and strife and
let the ambition and purpose of
every man he to make home what
it should be, the most sacred spot
on earth.
'nsonornraosn ton News -Record says in speaking
Now that spring time, and the , of this matter
"Thore will no doubt be some
wire pulling over the Wardenship.
Stracban of Grey was a candidate
last year. He is an excellent Reeve
and would make a good executive and
presiding officer ; we do not know
whether his friends will nominate
hini this year. Then there is Mn
Rogers of Brussels who possibly may
be urged for the position by bis
friends, and certain we are that there
is not a gentleman at the board who
is more competent."
money and in response to this call
a few hundred dollars will bo paid
over. Then comes the tug of war
and from that time to the last of
;Tannery, or until the Auditors are
ready for work the taxes are paid
in 'dribs' and 'drabs'. The man
who pays his taxes first stands out
of his money for, perhaps, three
months while the man who holds
off until the last pays justtho same
as if the collector got the money
on hie first call. This is not a
square way to do business, Why
not allow a discount, of say 5 per
cent., to all who pay before Dec.
1st, and add a like sum on those
who hold back. This would put
people on 11 common level and the
poor man would stand as good a
show as anybody else. This plan
has worked most satisfactorily in
a number of towns.
THE Daily Globe published two
pages of opinions of persons
throughout the Province of Ontar-
io relative to improvements that
could be macho in the Crook's Act,
and the general tenor of them goes
to show a desire to have licenses
raised, public treating clone away
with, blinds and screens removed
from doore and windows of bar
rooms, heavy fines for infraction of
the law and those violating the law
in drinking during hours prohib-
ited equally guilty with the seller.
These opinions are not the expres-
sions of temperance workers alone
but come from men interested in
the liquor business. After read-
ing them through we came to the
conclusion the safest course to pur-
sue is to take the line marked out
by Wrn. Laurie, of Wroxeter, viz :—
"'Total prohibition is my wish, and
anything to further that end ultimat-
ely I would like to see carried out."
James Buyers, writing from
Brussels, says :—
"In counties where the Scott Act
1s in force let the Ontario Govern•
went appoint commissioners and ,n•
specters the same as under the Crooks
Act, and also a Police Magistrate.
License druggists, and prohibit all
others from selling in quantities under
fifty gallons, and that under permit
endorsed by Government agont."
WHo will be Warden for 1886
is now the question of moment ?
While there.are a large number to
choose from we think the honor
should fall to Reeve Strachan, of
Grey township. He is an old
County Councillor, well acquaint-
ed with the affairs of the County
and would fill the Warden's chair
in a very creditable manner. He
is also a man of good judgment
and would Ileal fairly and impart-
ially with all questions brought
before him. Reeve Strachan needs
no introduction to the old mem-
bers of the County Council and to
those not personally acquainted
with the gentleman we say if you
vote for him as Warden you vote
for a good man and one who will
do his utmost to abvance the in-
terests of the County. The Clin-
necessary budding and repairing
of sidewalks and crossings, will
soon bo at hand, we draw the at-
tention of our residents to the great
necessity of making some new de-
parture in this matter. Nearly
every year there is a short piece of
new walk laid and any quantity of
repairing needed to be done and
these repairs will become more ex-
trusive and expensive every year,
as the old walks give out. To rem-
edy this state of things wo would
recommend gravel to be utilized in-
stead of plank end by a little care
in making gravel walks they will
last for years without repairs and
will make as clean a walk as plank.
Asphalt could be used on the prin-
cipal streets if the gravel was not
thought suitable, While sidewalks
are very convenient and necessary
i£ a trial of gravel or asphalt was
made we think we are safe in pre -
dieting It would prove a success
and would go a long way in cur-
tailing expenses in the street im-
provement account.
Tina way taxes are collected in
Brussels and e large majority of
other towns and villages is any-
thing but fair and does not give
the tax collector half a chance.
As soon as the roll is placed in his
hands he goes to work anll calls
upon tho ratepayers and notifies
them as to when he expects the
Ar a recent prize fight in To-
ronto, it is said one of the princi-
pals was so badly beaten that every
part of his bead, face and should-
ers were bruised and covered with
blood. To this disreputable enter-
tainment a large number of per-
sons were in attendance. Our
feelings on the matter are voiced
by the following extract, clipped
from the Globe, of last Wednes-
day:—
What arc the police going that they al-
lowed such a brutal exhibition as the Rileg•
ed "boxing match" which took place in
this City on Monday night ? It seems the
affair watt terminated by one of the princi-
pals being knocked 5011001080. Anti it is
intimated that this happened just in time,
as a detective in another minute would have
interfered. What ryas t11i0 dotectivowait-
ing for ? Ras not the attention of the po.
lice been called to these disgraceful exhi-
bitions often onongh ? Surely it was not
possible to stand placidly by and witness
round after mond of such brutal fighting
without finding Ont the trite character of
what was going; on. Tiers i8 50 richt in
which Mayor-oloet Howland would do well
o give hie reforming energy full play. No
more of such exhibitions should be toler-
ated in Toronto, For Ibo future every
principal, aider and abettor of such a per -
forma= should be promptly removed to
gaol and dealt with 118 a street corner rut.
Ran, Doteetivee and police officers who
find it ineonvonient to look at the matter
in this light should bo given early oppor-
tunity to select a calling more in sympathy
with their cultured tastes.
TROUBLE never comes alone. The
Clinton papers had dropped tho
Co. town question during the holi-
day season—to get their breath for
a fresh start, we suppose—and we
imagine, we would enjoy a short
rest, but appearances aro very de-
ceptive and 'things are not what
they seem." A new county has to
be formed, to be called Maitland
and after it is carved out, Wing -
ham, Listowel, Harriston, and
dear only knows where else are to
be County Towns. If you in-
clude Brussels wo will wind up at
once, if not we will die trying to
secure the Court house, jail, &c.
for our town. Not that we need
a jail very badly for we have a
lock-up that, in cold weather, does
its work verr'aeffectively, as the
prisoner runs such a narrow escape
from being frozen to death "he
will never do it again." But leav-
ing nonsense aside what Govern-
ment is going to break up old
boundaries and connections to try
and please the whims or fancies of
a few individuals in a town ? God-
erich is not a convenient point to
reach from the northern part of
the county but it is only a matter
of time, in our opinion, until the
county buildings will be located in
Clinton. What particular advan-
tage the people of this section
would derive by having Harriston
or Mount Forest as their County
seat we cannot divine, in fact we
would be in a worse fix than we
are now. If some of the "ambi-
tious" towns will just possess their
soul in patience they will learn
that a section of country suffic-
iently large to form a minty is
not going to be chalked off until
the people within its limits have
an opportunity of expressing their
opinion. If the Grand Trunk
Railway would try to oblige' the
public half as much as they do
themselves, in the matter of train
accommodation, the County town
question could take a sleep for a
while.

few months ago a letter was received
from a supposed executor of the Thorpe

the same, and asking for information
as to whether Mrs. Thorpe, who had

information was Bent, and the chattels
were said to be advertised to bo sold

Detroit about four years ago, believ-
ing her husband to be dead, and they
are now residents of Mitchell. Hear -
