All the addresses were of a high order, IVIt. W. H. .Ker of Brussels, made a most capable chairman. The first speaker, was Dr. A. E. Henry of Deer Park Presbyterian Church, To- ronto. Dr. Henry has hadea Very wide experience, having oacetepied pulpits in Hamilton, Regina, Vancouver and now in Toronto. Through the years he has always been a great temperance advocate and the array of facts pre- sented by him was unchallengable as to the failure of, government control wherever tried. He warned the dele- gates in being deluded by the argu- ments of the Moderation League. He was followed by Dr. Hassard, K.C. of Toronto, Mr..- Hessard Was present representing Hon. Geo. E. Foster who was unavoidably detained. Mr. Hassagd made some startling statements concerning the benefits of the 0. T. A. on the moral and finan- cial conditions of Toronto. His whole - reference was from that of a lawyer. The final speaker was Hon. E. C. Drury, It was very evident from the applause given that Mr. Drury had a host of friends' in this section of On- tario. In a very straightforward and manly way Mr. Drury discussed the temperance situation in Ontario to- day, and that which existed 30 years ago. He declared without any fear of a challenge that the 0. T. A. had been a great success, and, in so speaking he ave the Hon. Mr.' Hearst, due credit or the introduction of the great tem- perance measure. *He said that his convictions were that the,,'people of Oneario did not want a change except n greater enforcement of the law, and he prophesied that if the temperance people would remain strong in their emands for no change, there would e no plebiscite in our province. \By he singing of God Save the King' -a most successful convention was then brought to a close. reach Orange Sermon Rev.

Delegates were present fro Walkerton, Listowel, Harriston, Owen Sound, Wingham and other parts. A very large delegafion from the Meth- odist Church heae, 47 in all, motored over for the evening session. • The conventiotj. was held in the Li- brary Hall, a building corresponding to our town hall, before eight o'cloelc that building was packed and an over- flow meetin,g had to be held in the Methodist Chnisch, Between goo and woo delegates were present. All the addresses were of a high order, IVIt. W. H. .Ker of Brussels, made a most capable chairman. The first speaker, was Dr. A. E. Henry of Deer Park Presbyterian Church, To- ronto. Dr. Henry has hadea Very wide experience, having oacetepied pulpits in Hamilton, Regina, Vancouver and now in Toronto. Through the years he has always been a great temperance advocate and the array of facts pre- sented by him was unchallengable as to the failure of, government control wherever tried. He warned the dele- gates in being deluded by the argu- ments of the Moderation League. He was followed by Dr. Hassard, K.C. of Toronto, Mr..- Hessard Was present representing Hon. Geo. E. Foster who was unavoidably detained. Mr. Hassagd made some startling statements concerning the benefits of the 0. T. A. on the moral and finan- cial conditions of Toronto. His whole - reference was from that of a lawyer. The final speaker was Hon. E. C. Drury, It was very evident from the applause given that Mr. Drury had a host of friends' in this section of On- tario. In a very straightforward and manly way Mr. Drury discussed the temperance situation in Ontario to- day, and that which existed 30 years ago. He declared without any fear of a challenge that the 0. T. A. had been a great success, and, in so speaking he ave the Hon. Mr.' Hearst, due credit or the introduction of the great tem- perance measure. *He said that his convictions were that the,,'people of Oneario did not want a change except n greater enforcement of the law, and he prophesied that if the temperance people would remain strong in their emands for no change, there would e no plebiscite in our province. \By he singing of God Save the King' -a most successful convention was then brought to a close. reach Orange Sermon Rev.

McLean Re-engaged as Assessor A special meeting of Wingham. Town Council was held on Thursday evening. All the councillors were present except Conn. Haney who was in Toronto. Moved by Councillors Mitchell and Fells that Constables Allen a.ncl Lew- is be instructed to watch the traffic at the crossing on Josephine street on Saturday nights between 9 and nr to see that traffic laws are observed by motorists. ---Carried. There is co.nsiderabie speeding done on the paved streets by autos leaving , and coming to town, we believe some effort should be made to stop it. A person driving an auto over 25 miles an hour over the town streete is en- dangering the lives of pedestrians for they do not know at what corner a child is going to pop out. Moved by Councillors Mitchell and Bennett that a by-law be submitted at the next regular meeting prohibiting the hauling of gravel, manure or re- fuse of any kind on Josephine St.— Carried. Moved by Councillors Bennett and 'Wilkinson that T. J. McLean be I e— engaged as assessor for 5924 at the same salary as last year.—Carriece The salary last year was $275. with a bonus of $8.0o for postage. There was one other applicant.
