Buchanan, the well known temperance advocate, for- merly of HamiltOn, but now of Winnipeg, delivered his promised lecture ,in the town hall on Monday evening. Mr. Buchanan came here under the auspices of the Royal Templars' Association. His = aedience on Monday evening was not large, indeed it was discouragingly small, when we consider the importance of the subject and the well known ability of the lecturer. We doubt not, however, that a good many more would have been present, had it not been for an entertainment in Cardno'a hall. Alta Buchanan's address was plain, prac- tical and to thepoint, He showed the absurdity, from his standpoint, 9f licensing and thus throwing around it thelprotection of law, of a traffic's° productive of loss and misery as the liquor tiaffic, and advocated its , entire suppression by prohibitory measures... This, he said, the people had voted for by a considerable majority, and still the traffic continued. For this, the people are themselves to blame, aid so soon as they coine to that point of eincerity at which they will stand up for their tem- perance principles in preference to party interests, the will of the majority will rule, and not till then. He counseled; inoreased zeal and made an earnest plea for the en- couragement of temperance organizations, and urged an earnest effort on the part of all to get the youug interested in , the good work. Although Mr. Buchanan had so small an audience, he ehowed that he had lost none of his old time eloquence. and zeal, and his addresses'should have an inspiring and beneficial influence. He addressed - a meeting in Cardno'a hall on Sunday after- noon and in the Methodist church in the evening. • Locm.

A PEG' ULLA R M ISHAP. —Oa Friday fore- noon last, a man employed by Mr. Mills, who resides near Harlock, had an experi- ence he will not soon forget. He had been using a land roller and drove it into the barn. He then unhitched the horses from it and by hand turned it around and shoved it back into a mow alongside the barn floor, Unfortunately he had not removed the lines from the roller seat, and they got fast to the implement in some way, and as it was down grade the roller ran back drawing the horses with it. As soon as the horses got on the thin boards which formed the floor of the mow, they broke through and got stuck there with their hind quarters below and their heads above the floor. In this perilous position they had to remain until assistance seas procured from the neighbors, and after a great deal of ticklish work they were got through the floor and into the stable below, and were liberated in that way. Fortan. ately, beyond a few scratches, the horses were not injured and started to feed as soon as they were liberated. Mr. Mills was from home at the time, having left early in MAY 24. 1901 EVER GROWING. i_tiltrireat.3111Ltarg, THIS STORE ,grows in usefulness as thee days go by, for we always have peen, mind and are constantly adding new goods, such as yon require.

OuE, Ht7LLETT ROADS.—It has generally been conceded that the roads in Ifullett township have been up to the average,ser perhaps even a little better. Now, it is a well known fact that when anything is in a • good conditien it is much easier to keep it so than to raise it once it has fallen. Nestra our township council; which is composed of energetic and up-to-date men, who are al- ways alive to the intereets of the township,. have evidently grasped the fact which has just been etateid, and in piaci° of resting satisfied with the roads are making many Improvements by means of a good road grader. As an evidence of their 44 up-to- dateness," they have discarded the olct method of working the grader by means of two teams of horses, and have engaged John Bennett, of Blyth, with his splendid traction engine, to supply the motor power. Mr. Bennett thoroughly understands his engine, and has it under such perfect control that a good deal quicker and better work can be done with it than by the old method. The grader is operated by John Staple's, of Con- stance, and really a better man could not 1* obtained, as can readily be believed by any person who has seen a finished pieee of graded road. Altogether, Hallett desorYes credit for setting such an example to other places in improving the roads, and thus the, country.—A RATEPAYER.
