THIRTY-FIRST YE.A.R. WHOLE NIIMI3ER, 1,633. This all FRIDAY, MARC 31, 1899. It is only reas.onable that trade should come our wa,r book accounts, we sell as nearly as possi le fo buyer knows, or should know, this is a c,irect on what you buy. The prices we quote ee cas that fact are the more quickly taken advantage It is this simple cash selling idea that haa been business, and to which may be attributed the place -to buy Clothing at. becau e we have so few the ash, and as every saving of 10 per cent, Priees and by reason of f by e buying public. the x ling idea of our ccess this store as a Leaving the pros and eons as to the merits of selling fo cash for the mOment aside, let us have a talk about your and our rospec s for the coming Spring and Summer. When we say your romp cts we refer more partic- ularly to the prospects of our farnaer frien s, for there is no us hiding the fact that the farmer is the most Psteadf st fr end that any man can have. Now with the townsman it is di erent, the townsman takes a a score of conflicting interests into his con ideration, or before le fully decides to give a merchant the benefit of his tra e. Such thoughts as a man's polities, religion, if he has any ; his' socia position, whether you have had the fortune or misfortune to meet his wife, or whether he thinks himself too nice.for your aequainta ship or you too nice for his. These and a dozen other follies rack his bel -fuddled brain. Now it is different with the farmer, " nature's gentlemarti" he buys whether he ia,aecorded fair treatment and ordinary civility, and he does not ask a man to act the flankey toward him, because he happens to be a buyer in your store. Of course there are exceptions, but w are speaking in a general 'way. Never- theless the farming communit in and ab ut Seaforth have been our friends,. and we intend that t ey will co tinue to be the same in the time to come. The way we w 11 manage this is simple, viz : We will give these friends of ours the same evidence of our desire to meet their Clothing wants in the future, s we have d,me in the past, All that we ask of any one who has not traded with us To put our pro fessions to the test in as pract cal a' ma.nner as possib e by buying your Spring Clothing from us this eason. A few of the prevailing prices that' are in min may be nformation to those who cannot afford the time to shop t le lad es' are in the haloit prone to.' Men have but little time to sh p, therefo: the store news 'of our " ads" is of service to,them. Of course you have heard that the _Buckskin every day ants is outstrippin the sale of every other line of every day Wearing tiouserS, the price i the wisdom of it all—$1 a pair. In connection with this it may be news to know that you an buy Buckskir from us by the yard now, the cost per yard is 35c, a d well -worth it. A line of goods that' we never fail to mention weekly is ur own make" o $8, $10 and $12 Suits. You may havS noticed hat we do a lot o talking about these lines.

' DEAR Ex!, sinon,--In the interests of the good roads onement, I shell, with your permit of sp c , add to what has already or been said. I uld it not be well, do you pot think, th t all who wrinn confine them - Selves strict] to the subject, deal altogeth- er with matt re pertaining to road making, and out of re pea for themselves and feel- ing for me, a oid anything thet is personal or insinuatin I shall not ' indulge myself With muni ipel councils liee the power to bring dbout a better state of ;affairs on our public roads. I was not intended by- me that they, in their new and better work along this lin , should ,additionally and un- duly burden he eatepayer, bet rather that they ride mor ecdnomically and wisely the monies that are at present! expended on roads. Larg su s yearly are voted by our councilmen fo m king and keeping roads in repair., The sh uld see to it that all of it is well spent. M friend "Romeo" uses e- very lame ar um nt when he hints we shall not have bett r r ads on account of perhaps a slightly ii ore sad cost. .'llere is, Mr. Editor, we b lie e, a man that giveth and yet inoreaset . y friend is !evidently one of the other c me of citizens, oise who with- holdeth more tha is meet, and tendeth to poverty. Or ina ily speaking, a work is of consequence i di ect accordance with what it costs—the or it costs the better it is. Regarding wa er and watercourses, we dispute the tatement, " His natural and only outlet i this public hi hway," fidein the fact that oad aye are usually straig outlet on the public road, sh uld immedi- ately cross a d be ellowed to ge on its way rejoicing, and n t conducted any greet be laid in all case where it is so needed to be carried, Is ny style of road, I ask, found in our usy city streets, too good to Will anyone tate a reason vale we should not, in thin in ovine°, have t e very best medium for travel to be foun anywhere ; if it svere as ed for even to t e equalling that stops sh rt of this is lacking in energy and road n eking thrift. 16 was not pry contention t at a roadway graded, eay 50 feet wide, sh uld be without a hellow ver - run at either side for surface waters, but very sloping , We think these should be on every highw y, not exceeding six or eight feet from th fences. It is not, I insist, abusing the generosity of the Queen in our claiming the whole 66 feet for a pu lic highway, but , it is nether the using of t. Neither the "Liberal, and timely uee o the road machine," nor "Stat- ute labor ju iciously applied," will stiffice in the bringi g about of our underway pro- ject in road eking, The roe, making ma- chine is a valuable impleme t, and, when rightly man ged, will aecomplish much, but will not eff ot, to any great exterit, the needed chan e on our older roads,with their peculiar styl s of grading. Is it any It nder that as man, with 'finch on modern r ad maki g as the e set forth in Your issue of Marc 10th, .ahould, at the otitset of is . writi g; dabble in telling will leave th discussion regarding the best way of maki g.and efficiently maintaining a public road to tho e bettet qualified to white as the livery r ys of yonder moon, should stoop to chat about euch scenery.

England, he said, is making rapt strideS in that direction, att though, 'as a citizeri of the ambitious rep b e, he envied her the iteitiatory step in this greatest) of all soPial reforms, yet he w s glad to see England leading off so bra eln.

Vitinthe advent of single tax would come s a natural concomitant, not only prosper ty, but also decrease in crime. He point d nut that a very lenge amount of intemp ranee was due to ponce- ty, to the fact t some, men have unjustly cornered up every fling, and are doing all in their power to or wd their less fortunate, but equally imp rtant neighbors, off1the face of the earth, The incoming o each a system would pull then see pleadi g foro jobs, etc. 11 ,said when God created the World, he ore t:d a asked him if 'he hough t it would rock.
