Sunday was Field Day for Huron in connection with the Dominion Al- liance, most of the pulpits of the town having been occupied once by a representation of the Alliance. As someone remarked, it looked like an auspicious opening for the local op- tion ctampalgn. Rev. Dr. Abraham of Toronto preached in Willis church 111 the morning and Wesley 'in the! evening ; Rev. B. H, Spence and Rev., Mr. Oak conducted -service in the Ontario street church in the morning and in the Baptist church in the evening. "Ile former was to have taken these services bat was suffer- ing from a cold anfl was unable to do much speaking. - Master Dou- glas Stanbury rendered solos at each of the tone services, At four o'clock to the afternoon a mass meeting was held in •the town kali at wideh Rev, Dr, Abraham and Rev. ;Mr, Spence both spoke, Dr. Abraham spoke particularly of kis work among the shack dwellers and slums of Toronto, where. he came in contract with all sorts of people and became acquainted with the evils of the open bar. He urged upon the voters their responsibility in, legaliz- ing the traffic. Hedenounced what he considered the false economy of staking revenue Prem the sale of liq- uor, showing that the earnings of. triose who thus paid out their money for intoxicants were „diverted from the ordinary channels of trade. "You cannot buy bread and beef with the same money with which you buy beer," was one of his remarks ; and;. "The Dominion, Provincial and Municipal governments who legalize the sale of intoxicating liquor do so at the cost of the lives of the peo- ple. The people pay the revenue, not only in money, but in home comfort, it health and in reputa- tion," Rev. Mr. Spence dealt principally with the local option lave, reading re- cent 'amendments to prov' that its power was 'greater oat i a nd its enforce - menu easier than .was the ease even three years ago. 'We have a good law," said Mr. Spence„” and the beauty of it lies in the fact that the more it is enforced the better; it is. If it were a bad law the lest' ft was enforced the better, but that is not:the case with ewe local op- tion law." Mr. Spence then told of having telegraphed 'to the mayors of differ- ent towns where local option was in Corm to ask about the way it had 'effected the business and accom- odation of the town. He said he had those telegrams and would, with the permission of •the chairman, read any which might .be called for by anyone in the audience. ' The first. one called for w-ae from Ow,n Si."'.I. "Now," remarked Mr. Spefice, here a m iswhos put an want to p t ,me in a hole right at the start, 'for it is well known that the mayor and co4oii1 of Owen Soerrili are oppostd to local 'option. But I said I would read these telegrams and I will." And atter some searebing through the sheaf, ofpapers he found and read the telegram in question, which proved to he very favorable„ but the writer cautiously remarked that, "though business, bad prospered dur- ing the six years in which local option had beenin force it could not be known' how much it night have pro- spered tinder license," Telegrams were also read from Orillfa, ' Collingwood, Galt and other places. "When you want the truth about local option," remarked Mr. Spence," go to a lo- cal option town for it." The Rev, D. TC, Grant, :pastor. of Willis church, occupied the chair, and associated Aterl o with him on thela tform p beside k s the epee ot's were : Rey, J. Greene and Rev, Mr, Oak. • Master. Douglas Stanbury sang sev- eral solus at this meetingbeing well received: Mrs. Stanbury anew -cyan - led, hila on the,piano and in a cou- ple of the numbers joined in the el'torite.'

'Adam Nicholson of Constance !net met with a terrible accident on Mon- day morning by which he lost his right hand. He was getting the threshing machine going on the farm 08 Mr. '1'. Hill of the Gravel Road just north of town and in putting the guard over the straw knives his hand came. , in contraci with the swiftly revolving knives, completely severing it or so mangling it that it had to be amputated. lIe was im- mediately brought to town, medioal men dressed .the wound and at last reports he was doing as well as could be expected. The adjusting of this guard over the knives should bo done before the. machine is set go - Ing, brit so familiar do men become to clanger when daily coming in con- tract with it that in the majority of cases the work is done after the er.gine starts and the thresher is working and the wonder: is that more accidents do not occur, The unfortunate victim of this ac- oident Wes formerly a reetde.t of Clintos and is well know. here, AN OLD TIME TEACHER. Mr. Samuel Smillie of Heusall was in town Friday last and spent the day exchanging reminiscences with Messrs. William and Peter Cantelon with whom his acquaintance dates back to 1866-81 when he,teught the school on t115 Tipperary Line., Goder- ich towtlship, Mr. Peter Cantelon'be- ing one of his pupils. The tenor of their talk would lead one to believe that the. section was pretty lively in more respects than one. In the el- ectio'a of trustees there was'often as much excitement as in the campaign. preceding a Parliamentary cleeelon. "There were 108 "antes on tate toll," said. Mr. Smillie, "and the average at- tendance was 80 and as the building was small we often had to bring in planks to help out in tfte seating. Things used to go lively at times, but I managed somehow to pull through all right, hut the teacher in those old days w'bo was weak in discipline had a hard time of it. Many of the scholars were young nten and women wko certainly enjoyed "taking a raise out of the teacher." The Tipperarys were a. hospitable peo- ple and I enjoyed the two years 1 spent amongst them, WILLIS CHURCH. The v:ban ll r.
