Davies was visiting friends in Brunets last week. Morris Fogal has improved the ap- pearance of his house by having it nicely painted. Quito a number of our villagers at- tended the Reform demonstration at Listowel last Tuesday. Last Friday evening while playing Laura Spence fell and broke her arm. It was promptly attended to by the Dr. and she ie doing well. We heard of a gentleman who vis- ited Ethel not long ago and stopped with one of our villagess. The horse was put in the stable while the driver attended to his business. Imagine his surprise when he went to hitch up to find that some pigs had pulled the bridle down and had chewed the lines all to pieces. A pair of lines hail to be borrowed to get home with. • Last Friday evening the peaceful slumbers of some of our villagers were disturbed by some roughs who had imbibed too freely from the in- toxicating cup, and were making night hideout' with their drunken brawls. Lilt not time something was done to stop this midnight rioting which of late has occurred too fre- quently? Rev. T. L. Wilkinson, of Toronto, agent for the Dominion Alliance, de- livered an excellent lecture in tbo Methodist church last Monday even- ing. Short addresses were made by the chairman, Rends. R. Paul and W. J. Brandon, At the olose of the meeting a vote was taken to see who were in favor of having an Electoral Union established.

The crew clung to her till daylight when the Governmett life -boat, under com• mead or Oaptain 'Win. Robb, wont to the rescue and brought them 'Lahore. The crew oonsisted of five men and ono womith—the cook. The vessel has broken 1111, nothing ,boing saved. She was owned by William Doe, of Goderieb, and was uninsured, .9.99999•••••••••., LET EVERY "TUB" STAND ON ITS OWN BOTTOM. In last week's Posy, John Shand mado statements in regard to us of such a false and slanderons na- ture that we have been, reluctant- ly, compelled to place the matter in the hands of our Solicitors, Messrs. Wade & Sinclair. Of course, like all other lying statements, it contains its own contradictions. He says we took an underhanded way of gaining a Prize for our leather, then in the very next sentence he says that the Judges and the President did not know to whom our leather be- longed, concluded that it was Mr. Stitt's, and awarded it a First Prize. Now, this shows how clear we are of the charge of trying to influence the Judges, as they nev- er knew it was ours, but thought it was Mr, Stitt's. All his other statenaents are of the same nature. Take his blowing about the cele- brated Bal and Fils French leath- er and John Hallam being solo agent. In this we believe he errs more through ignorance than in- tention, and for his information we would say that this brand is the cheapest and poorest French leather that we know of in the market, and can be bought from any leather house in the Dominion. Mr. Benson, the traveller for John Hallam, called on us before he called on John Shancl and tried to convince us by showing us a letter pretending to make him the Sole Agent. We soon showed him that we knew as much about the leath- er trade as he did and when it came clown to the fine thing we found that the principal thing in favor of the leather was that it was "Cheap." We said that we cut good leather and that mere cheapness was no inducement for us to buy. He replied that he would like very much to sell to us but if we did not buy he would go across the way and sell it to John Shand. We said that John Shand was at perfect liberty to buy what- ever leather he chose and if John Shand is paying a big price for this loather let him come to us, we can,get him that brand from: one of the best Houses in Canada, at about the same price as the best Canadian leather is sold for, that is, about fifteen per cent. cheaper than the French leather that we aro Cutting. We again repeat what we have said before. A gentleman, who lives in Brussels, and who used to be a tanner, and who knows all about leather, wanted sonae to make .Boots for himself and his boys. He bought from us althocigh we charged him about ten per cent. more than other shops offered him feather for. He gave us to under- stand that we were Cutting, the best leather of any shop in Brus- sels. Three out of every four people thitt we made Boots for last fall do not need any new boots this fall. If our Boots wore only for a year as ordinary boots do we would not have room enough for shoemakers to make Boots. We exhibited our leather at the Fall Show here and received a First Prize. Other shops can cut this quality of leather if willing to pay the price. If they did they would not need to tell untruths about their neighbors, but they would not get rich quite so fast. We are not going to allow Bluff, Abuse and Misrepresentation pre- vent us any longer from claiming the Superiority whieh justly be- longs to our Goods. People's verdict. The Great Boot & Shoe House.
