Why not follow the plan you adopt in the purchase of refreshments or in the distri- bution of your beneficent ?

It_ is to the principle of paying cash and the taking of discounts that we attribute , our success in the Clothing trade. For by the looking sharply after the discounts it has not been necessary for us to add extra profits on the goods we sell. You will have noticed thisyourself, that when you come with the ready money you buy better, and that is the reason you buy so well here. Our goods are marked on the ready looney basis. We will again give you some ready money 'quotations on lines of goods that are in every day use and demand. Some of these will be familiar to some, some .will be new. T h e familiar lines will require no introduction from us, and the new lines may be reckoned onas being as reliable as the familiar ones. Buckskin every day ! trousers at $1 a pair have been mentioned often. and the m st of pur readers are, well acquainted with them. Those ho ave worn the line say that they have never worn anythin as satisfactory for working trousers.

Its an old familiar saying that " our own make " of Men's Suits: at $8, 10 and $ 12 are the most satisfactory ready-to-wear suits on the marl'.et.

Tb.e Good Roads Discussion. We are in receipt of another letter from " Romeo," of Hensall, purporting to deal with the good roads subject, but rather a criticism on the remarks of some of those who have written on this question. " Ro- %leo " wields a vigorous pen, but, he is de- cidedly more satirical than suggestive, and as we do not desire a discussion on so im- portant a subject to degenerate into a per- sonal squabble, or even to develop into an intellectual duel, but rather desire to get information of a practical nature, Whieh may be put to practical use for the public: good, we take the liberty of eliminating the more caustic parts of our correspondent's letter. He says : I have read with pleasure the letters of John A. Wilson, Seaforth ; R. Gardiner, Usborne, and John 0. Morrison, MeKillop. The latter gentleman, especially. gave us a good, sensible letter as he usually does on most subjeete. lie thought that Mr. Cooper's idea of making the whole 66 feet of the highway allowance fit for travel premature in time, by at lent one thous nd John 0. backed up what he said by ci ing the condithen of North Main -street, 'ea - forth, in spring aud fall, and contrail ing it with the nexb half mile north, in Mc il- can cite another case in point without going far from home,, and it will bear out what I said regarding :the impracticability of gen- 'eral underdraining as a means for the bet- terment of our public roads. Two years ago the citizens living 00 the south side of the thriving village of Hensall petitiOned the oounoil for a drain, and the job was let and the work done last year, supposedly according to the engineer a specifications, under the drainage act as applied te urban municipalities. The engineer specined Oat at the street crossings open waterelays should ;be left above the tile, which wis a twelve inch one, so as to allow the sur' lus surface water to escape quickly du ing freshets. The council disregarded the en- gineer'a specifications in this partie lar, and, by way of experimena filled in the waterways at the street croesings, put ing in another twelve inch tile, and with what result ?i Just thie, that Efensall south ex- perieneed the worst conges ion in its water system during the reeent freshets, that it ever w s afflicted with, so uch so that the business men on that side ere able to give their juveniles boating lessons in their back yards, and had to ex mporize elevated paths ]before they could go where they wanted to. Thus, after spending some $600 on the little stretch of drain, the citi- zens were worse off even than they were before .ne drain was put in, on account of trustinn altogether to underdraining. • Canada. —Garth's big foundry, at Montreal, was destroyed by fire Thurschiy night.
