Orchardists here have given up hope of the resuscitation of the National , Fruit,. Land and Packing Company, as nothing has yet peen done to come -to terms with the 'farmers,' many not having been paid their rent and other expenses. Farmers should now • form themselves into an assoc- iation to develop one of the best pay- ing institutions connected with ag- riculture. There is a grand open- ing here now since the failure of the National P., L. & P. Co. This corn - 'V in its short life has shown the benefit of cultivation, pruning and spraying. The windfalls from spray- ed orchards were better thane the hand-picked fruit from unsprayed, and kept better throughthe winter.—W. ire nt Dr. J, P. and Mrs. Kennedy., spent, a few days in Toronto last week.

The going into effect of Local Op- tion in Kincardine and the conse- quent banishment of boose from the scenery there, leaves Walkerton and vicinity standing out conspicuously as the wet territory on the map of Bruce. Ilow the county as a whole isdrying up may he gathered from the fact that in 1871 there were is- sued in Bruce no less than 180 tavern and '20 shop licenses, as against 24 tavern and .no shop licens- es for 1013, the last. liquor store and the ;station hotel being doomed to shortly vanish from the • landscape here. 01 the 21 licences that will thus be issued in the county for 1313, it is probably singular that 20 of these should be granted for Walk- erton and immediate vicinity, the list being as follows,: Walkerton 5, Carrick 7, Brant 4, and Greenock 4. That the Bruce Capital and every township surrounding it should be wet while almost all the rest of the county is dry, reveals one of the most remarkable situations in the Provinee.—Bruce Herald and Times.
