Military Camp is under quarantine owing to the dis- agreeable fact that sma'lpox has been discoved. Camp life is not all sport by any means. HAVE you that Literary Society or- ganized you were talking about? How are the young mu of your community to become public speakers if they don't soon commence to practice ? THE $57,000 donation by the Masonic Order of Ontario to the Belgian scatter- ers is a practical expression worth a cord Cof good:resolutions and a barrel of tears at this juncture.

One wayto make Christmas full of is to jet, pass on the good cheer to others. Help somebody, SHELLING those coast cities in Eng- land last week was a reproduction by the German fleet of the olden days when the redmen of the forest burned the shanty and tomahawked the settler. Tbe latter were savages of course and the former are supposedI to haveku tore. There'll come a day of reckoning. THAT South Africa rebellion soon bad the fizz taken oat of it when General Botha and troops got after the rebels. The whole plot appears to have been explained in the old saw, "Evil com- munications corrupt good manners," A mischief maker can generally find material to busy himself with in kicking up a dust but often the chief actor is out of the road when fighting is to be done. WHAT interest have you in the pro- gram of the Prince of Peace? We celebrate His birthday Friday of this week along with all Christendom and regard its event as a eat of the year. '•I must be about my Father's business" and be busied himself most industrious- ly and then passed the work over to us. Let us tell the "Good tidings of great joy, not because it is a task but realiz- ing it to be a great delight. By the .lemise ot Senator Jaffrey, of Toronto, the Liberal majority of the Dominion Senate is reduced to it and the death of 6 more would give the Conservatives control of the Upper Chamber, It does not take many years to make marked changes. Death is about the only power that seems to affect this gray headed useless body as at present constituted. A dozen mem- bers bad a club up their sleeve to deal the old Senate a hard blow but nothing has come of it and it is still used as the harbor for old or defeated politicians where they may be got out of the way. By the way with 8 vacancies at present in the Senate why should not Huron Co. get a look in ? Without prejudice THE Posr would have much pleasure in nominating Ehvard Norman Lewis, M. P. for the old West Riding of this County. Ix you intend being a candidate for the Council Board for this what new plans have you for promoting the well being of your municipality? There is nearly always room for improvement. What about permanent roads, the law as it relates to noxious weeds, eelping the Public Libraries and Fall Fairs? Is Statute Labor out ot date ? Are meet- ings ever held to instruct people in the Public Health Act ! Go to the Nomit,a- tion and ask questions even if you are not a speech maker, Taxes are mount ing up, hence the necessity of studying the best means of carrying on Municipal work with the thought of strict economy but without neglect of the performance of all that is essential. In the majority of cases the Boards du their hest but there might be a hint worth while from those who are not occupying seats at the Council table, I'r is Very amusing to read the "swash" that is published by the anti - Local Optionlsts in Municipalities where contestsate on, Nothing very new but the same old fables that have been going the rounds for the past to years. Some of the points are :—"There will be more liquor drank ; You can't enforce it ; It will drive trade away ; Prohibition is a very bad thing, &c," The tuunicipa'i• ties that have tried the Act fairly and, had a chance to kick it out have n•,t done so id the large majority of cases. It has been proved to be one of the best aids to law and order and business people say it, has helped their trade, Why should it hot be tor What merit Itt thete in the iiemor battle that Will prove 1 beim., lit to the man who drinks ? It lies been proven again and again that it is the greatest millshnle round a map's ureic it destroys the home life and is a ruina• tion to the life of the youth: Dominion wide Prohih tiou is what the people should get busy about. By voting for pledged men as M. t's is the surest way to have this vital question iutroduced and carried in the House of Commons. What's needed in Local' Option coin• muuities is alert officials. parents who will do their duty faithfully, kindly yet fearlessly and wide awake church mem- bers wito are, or should be intensely in- terested in seeing that tbe law is im- plicitly observed. COUNTY COURT Several interesting Oanoe. before Judge Doyle A number of iuteresting cases were tried before His Honor Judge Doyle in Goderieh at the sittings of the County Court lively. One of the cases which drew considerable attention was that of Gibson vs. Young. 'These gentlemen are both farmers of West Wawaposh, Gibson rented Young's farm for Sun a year, with the understanding that Gibson was to work for Young during the threshing. Gibson claimed Young was to help him with his harvest and that on Yuung's failing to do this he was udder no obligation to help with Young's threshing, whereupon Young asked for the whole amount of the rent not otherwise due until March 3rst, and failing to get it put the bailiff in. The action for damages followed The case was slated for trial Ly jury, but the ludge ruled that it was withiu his jurisdiction to try the case, An entire day was taken up in the examination 0f witnesses and the argument was post- poned to a day to be fixed. Charles Garrow for plaintiff ; Proudfoot, Killoran & Proudfoot for defendant. Another case of local interest was that of Davis vs. Gardiner, in which tbe plaintiff sued to recover damages for injury to a horse. Gardiner, it appeared, had been in the habit of bor. rowing horses from Davis' livery, stable and while driving one of these it sud- denly went lame. The horse was brought back to the stable and after being attended by a veterinary surgeon for nearly a month was destroyed, It was afterwards proved that its leg was oroken. Expert veterinary testimony was brought to show that it was possible that the leg was fractured before the time it went lane. The evidence also showed that the horse bad figured in a collision with a motor car. There was cons•derable difference cf opinion as to the value of the horse, the figure vary- ing frum $50 to Sm. After being out for thirty minutes the jury brought in a verdict for thelainuff for p $85. and on a counter claimE u o $18.50 the defendant was allowed his claim in full. Charles Garrow For plaintiff ; Proudfoot, Kil loran & Proudfoot for defendant, In the case of McKelvey vs. Smale, an action for the recovery of $165 94 for medical attendance, the defendant claimed that the services was rendered to a minor, who was a • elative, and without request on his part. His Honor directed that judgment be enter- ed for the plaintiff for $r2o, W. M. Sinclair for plaintiff ; H. D. Cooke for defendant. Harper vs. Brown was a claim for, $204 39 for plumbing and tinsmithing. The case was settled our of court by the payment of $i6o and costs Kirkby vs. Village of Brussels—a claim by the plaintiff to recover $689 5o for constructing a drain. 'Tiial was postponed to December 29th by consent of counsel. Craigie vs. Jordan—a claim for Sato for failure to carry out a contract on the purchase of lots in the city of Moose law. The ease was settled out of court. O'Neil vs. Aikenhead was an action for slander. The defendant was accused of stating that the plaintiff had con fessed to placiug rocks on the railway ith the intention of wrecking a trait) The claim was for $50o for defamation of character, Verdict for the plaintiff with $to damages. J. M. Best for plaintiff; F. H, 'Thompson for de- fendant, Govenlock vs. C. P, R.—a claim for $400 for injuries to horses while being shipped out West, 'rue action was with drawn by consent. There were 6 other cases on the docket which did not come up for trial, having been settled out of court or postponed to a future sitting. New Infantry Formation. EDITOR POET.—I see by an evening paper that some forty care are to be constructed by the government, arm- ed with quick -flying machine guns. The idea is good, and some time in the future the cars [night be useful ; but it seems to me the present is the time to do things. `1'o that end I ask you to kindlyprint the substance of a let- ter on this subject I published some 8 years ago, and I think this war has proved the idea correct. If the con- tingents at Toronto and London were outfitted in this way they could tender much better service to .the empire than they ate able to do at present. I would make 25 amen the fighting unit, supplject with the best machine gun, two officers, two non -coats. in com- mand. They should be perfected in the use of the ride and all taught how to handle and care for the gun, in- structed in the bayonet exercise, and made as athletic aa possible. Their outfit ehould be complete as a unit, and not regimental. They should have Leonard gig (at this writing I substitute a motor oar.) It should carry a crowbar, saw, barbed.wire cutters, sledge -hammer, spades, lan- terns, candles, rubber sheets, surgical instruments, medicines, bandages, tin Mips, plates, knives and forks, a large rubber or canvas covering to be need its a tent, a very large supply of extra ammunition, iron box for explosives, a nickel -steel shield for each man, to be used as a protection when in trenehee or on the firing line (a holo ,7wi; ";)"aw +l NtS *±O .44 4"O M40,&i4?ali^'t 4f b'Et �. we w• W*WI rlin4AW •r, f'taasrn.iilr0"+'#"Jw,T ,'i ,? i?y46A1bY0 Y.±t;: v,k ldlxkC +.avi sw :daWAOS et tat+ gad .une»r~ estnov ....._ ...
