LATE RASPBERRIES. The summer like weather we have been experiencing this fall with Freedom from frost until within ith in the) past week, has induced greatgrowth of garden stuff. This has been notic- ed particularly in regard to raspbes- ries, some varieties of which are blossoming and ripening in a way to suggest July rather than October. A bunch picked helm a vine in Miss McCool's garden yesterday has full- grown, ripe berries of good size be- sides clusters of green ones in all de- grecs o-grecs of maturity, which, if the frost holds off, may still ripen. The bee - rids on Mr. William- Alexander's vines are also ripening. It may be that in time we shall be able to cultivate a berry bush which will bear twice • in a season. Fresh berries and cream would be all right even in October. WEDDED IN TORONTO. A'quiet wedding was ?rolemnizcd in Toronto on Wednesday evening of last week when Mr. D. W. L.

The old-time Custom of having pub- lic religious services in the different churches. on Thanksgiving Day • yments to have gone out of fasihion except in the more remote places, the chief idea in towns and cities being to spend the day in sightseeing or pleasure of some sort. Is it that we are less thank- ful as 6. people for all tire blessings 'choose to expressour thankfulness in a different' way ? • ONTARIO ST. CHURCH, THE LOCAL MARKET. Wheat 80c, Oats 30c.

R.' NO. ? The putting into operation of the rural mail routes is causing consider- able changing of p. o. addresses. Some Bayfield mail now goes to Var- na, Brucefield to Kippcim or Egmond- ville, Blake to Zurich, I-Iolmesville to Clinton, Porter's Hill to Bayfield, etc Several of the small offices will even- tually die' for want of business. Of the small village offices Brucefield los- es more heavily than any of the oth- ers no less than thirty names being transferred to other distributing cen- tres, chiefly Egmondville and Kippen. By -the ' way, Egniondville now re- ceives a daily snail and the route wh'ch serves the Turner -,John sec- tion is served from that point. The anniversary of the clrur;ch on Sunday last was an occasion of great interest. The congregations that greeted the pastor and Rev. T. W. Neal taxed the seating capacity - of. the church both morning and evening, especially at the evening service when chairs had to be placed in the aisles, Rev. Mr. Neal, as a young lad liv- ed in this community, and many of those who knew him in those days. came for miles ground to -meet him and to (hoar him.: 1 -Ie -reminded the people of. the encouragement they had given hini and of•the debt he owed to them. The reverend gentleman has become one of the most eloquent main- isters of the Methodist Church and his sermons on Sunday gave evid- ence of his splendid ability. His morning theme' was "The Vision of Moses" and in the 'evening he dwelt on ‘‘The Things net Do Not Change:?' In every way 'the services; of the d!ay. were full of inspiration and profit and Rev. Mr. Neal's visit to Ontario St. will be remembered with great pleas nrc.-- The special music by .the -Choir as silted by Mr, Williams' of Toronto added greatly to the success of th anniversary day. The trustee board of the church ask ed for a tlrankofferir,g of four hund- red dollars and it is expected tha amount Will, be in hand when all hay made 'their contribution, So- another `Fred letter" day in' the history of this church has just passer and the pastor` with a loyal peopl move forward in the hope of a ye brighter and better day.

The furniture business'far some time carried on by Messrs. Dunford- yC May has been pm:chased by Mes- srs. Nelson Ball and J.D. Atkinson, who are now in possession.

To the Editor of The News -Record Sir,—Mr. A. T. Cooper, in your last issue endeavors to set right what he is pleased to call false .viewe of the result of Local Option, and a nice mess he has made of it. In the first place, lie is wrong when he says that the lienee commission -es cannot, obtain a grant towards en- forcing Local Option. Good -Legal opinion says :they can. But of cour- se Mr. Cooper is a high authority our temperance legislation, and then will be sone who will believe in him. Well J " let there and they will find he is` -wrong. He, however, ad- mits that constable's expenses must be borne by the town, and some- what cheerfully looks forward t0 so many violations of, that iniquitous Local Option Bye -Law, that the town trea:a.try will revel in a surplus in- stead 'of a deficiency ! He also claims that the increase of 2= 'mills is not owing to Local Op- tion. His argument to prove this is about as 'fallacious as any could be Imagine Mr, Cooper knowing that he made a loss in buying wall paper, denying that any such loss had Aileen made, because he had made a big profit in -selling picture cards I Howl utterly silly ! Are these the kind ofd arguments he used to induce people to vote for Local Option ? The Town loses ,$1200 through Local Op- tion., and did not Local Option ex ist, would be $1200 ahead ! If , a profit of $.1000 is to be made out of electric lighting, the Town woad .be $2200 ahead were there no- : Local Option. This is as evident to amyl rational mind as in the abdhurdnty or Mr. :Cooper's argument. Let him, and others, go ahead with prohibitory legisislation, and we will never be ahead financially, but go back farther and farther; .into debt.—JOHN RANSFORD.
