The police trustees of Zurich held
a meeting on Tuesda.y evening. A.
number of accounts were passed.
Word received from Mrs. H. C.
Doan states that she has safely ar-
rived in Winnipeg. When the
letter was written they bad good
sleighing and the weather was fine.
Jos. Rau of the Satible Line is
devoting some of his time raising

conse independent by selling the

The Weekly Sun is a complete
budget of news for the farmer. It
contains independent political news

household suggestions etc., etc. If
y-ou have prodnce to sell it will
pay you to read The Sun's market
reports, for accuracy thev are un-
equalled. Snbscribe for The Sun,

There are many things to be
urged in favor of early shopping.
Those who begin buying. Xmas
gifts when the goods are first ad-
vertised have the advantage of a.
fresh, full and diversified market.
Stocks that are in the last few
(lays pnwed and palled over and
drawn from until they are soiled.
disordered and incomplete are
surely more tempting when they
are first ]aid out fresh, spick and
span and new, If all the presents
could be bought and laid away
ahead of the holidays. there surely
would be a comfortable sense of
duty well performed that would
add to the holiday cheer.
HAY COUNCIL.
The council of the township of
Hay met in the Town Hull here on
Tuesday afternoon. The session
was a long one, the principal busi-
ness being the passing of accounts,
a list of which will appear in the
treasurer's financial statement
which will be issued in a few weeks.
The last meeting of the council for
the present year will be held. on
Dec. 15th..
MUNICIPAL MATTERS.
From what welave been able to
learn there is every- likelihood that
Reeve Lamont will again occupy
the chair in the Ifay Council Board
next year. Mr. Lamont has served
the ratepayers well and it would be
due to him to send him up to the
County Council for a term at least.
The councillors also have given
good satisfaction and very little
opposition will be given, From
present indications the old Council
will all bo elected by acclamation,
for 1907, For police trustees there
will likely be some changes as there
has been considerable dissatisfac-
tion with some of the work per-
formed during the year and it is
likely that one or more of the
members of this year's Board will
not bo re-elected. We have heard
of no aspirants for the position but
as nomination draws near new
material will likely develop. What
we Watt is a Board that will lay
aside all self interest and work for
the general welfare of cur town.
Mr. 3, J. Merner made a business
trip to Toronto on Wednesday.
John Brown returned from the
South River lumber camp on Mon-
day.
D 5 Faust has just received a
new line of fancy cushion tops with
backs to match.

Fritz's. He has the best at very
reasonable prices.
Mr, and Mrs. Geo, Schoellig
have left for Detroit, where they
will spend the winter.
Mrs. Hudson and two children,
of Hensall, visited. at the home of
Mr. Geo. Innes on Stmday.
It is estimated that a Singer
Sewing Machine, does the work of
twelve women. For sale. at H.
Well's.
Nelson Denomy recently brought
a monster of a pig to the village.
The porker weighed 620 pounds and
John Brenner was the purchaser.
Dr. Buchanan havin sold his
medical practice, all persons owing
accounts will please call and settle'
before the 18th. of December. pd
The prudent farmer will see that
his farm tools are carefully housed,
and his stock in comfortable
quarters. In costs less to feed his
cow or horse in a warm stable
than in a cold one. A good coat of
paint will also lengthen the life of
a plow or rake.
The _Act passed by the Ontario
Government in 1905 regulating the
width of sleigh runners was re-
pealed in 1906, as wits also the
power heretofore given county
councils to legislate in the matter.
There is now no set rale for the
width of runners and, builders can
go on manufacturing as before.
The meeting of the Y. P. A. on
Tuesday evening took the form of
a young men's meeting. Addresses
were given by Mr. Michael Kaer-
cher and Mr. Alf. Meliek, and Mr.
Wm. Swayze gave 0 reading. Suit-
able music was furnished. Next
Tuesday evening the semi-annual
business meeting and election of
officers will be held.
The auction sale of the Gingerich
estate on Tuesday was well attend-
ed. The prices obtained were fair-
ly good. especially for the cattle. J.
J. Merner purchased. the 25 acres of
swamp land for $:27.00. This is a
remarkably low price for land sold
in Hay township, bnt Vhewood has
been nearly all taken o and it will
be useless for many years yet to
raise crops on it.
