After all, why should not the people who send a member to either theProvincial or Dominion House have a right to bring him back home if he proves unsatisfactory, neglecting the work he is sent to perform, or abus- ng his privileges? Surely we. are not married to these men, "For bet- er or worse till death do us part."

A nose for news and a desire to hear the Lay of the Last Minstrel, I made some enquiry as to the dissatis- faction among the farmers in Huron over Mr. Biggs' good road. It is the old story. The cement trust's hired men got among the local politicians, the latter among the farmers. The U.F.O. and Biggs will ruin this coun- try,.is the song of both politicians and cement. If Mr. Biggs had not monk- eyed with a public -owned cement - making plant, he would have been proclaimed the best Minister of Pub- lic Works Ontario has ever had—from a cement point of view. But he de- cided on good •advice to get more cement for the people's money. So they are going to tack Biggs' hide on the fence—if they can. They are not using a tack -hammer on the job— it's a sledge. BILL POWELL HURON NOTES —$13,840 had been paid in to the Clinton tax collector by midnight on June 30th, that being the last date for the payment of the first instal- ment of taxes. The amount of the whole bill is $32,000, so that nearly half the amount has been already paid in. —Last week Mr. Henry Plumsteel and son, Mr. Roy Plumsteel, of the London Road near Clinton, attended the sale of pure-bred Durhams at Guelph and Mr. Roy Plumsteel pur- chased a thoroughbred Durham cow with a heifer calf, 51r.

Mr. Irwin is doing as well as can be expected. —On the event of the resignation of Miss Myra Fl. Morgan, who has been a teacher at School Section No. I, Ushorne, for the pasf four years, the children of the school remember- ed the teacher with a beautiful blue bind fruit bowl, very fittingly fller with roses, provided by the different pupils of the school which was very much appreciated and will be a last- ing memory. —A Chevrolet car owned by Mrs. Wm. Glenn, of the South .Buundnry of Hibbert, which had been left over night in the yard at her hone, was stolen on Thursday night and an old car left in its Strad. Mrs. (;lent at ono( got in touch with ('unstable A. Whitesides, of Hensall, and he suc- cetded in locating the ear at Spring - bank. but. no trace of the thief was f.mnd. The car left, would likely be a stolen car also. --On Thursday morning about 4.30 the fire alarm aroused the people of Wingham from their sweet dreams. e ' Fire hall mysteriously started the house on Scott street 6wned by Mr. and Mrs. A. Vanalstync, and did con- siderable damage before it was brought under control. The house was occupied recently by Idr. Plank Vnnne• but no one was living it it but their at the time of the lire, furniture was still in it. Mr. Van alstyno carried only :400 insurance and it will take more than that to repair the place. —Rev. Father B. Gaffney, the popu- lar curate at St. Joseph's Church, Stratford, since his ordination to the priesthood little over a year ago, the h received a merit promotion tot Rs of the RomanCath"lic. pastorate torate Church at Clinton succeeding Father Hogan. Father Gaffney received this word from His Lordship Rt. Rev. M. F. Fallon, D.D., Bishop of London, and will leave about the fifteenth of this month to assume his duties in his new field.

Father .McRae omelaied as parish priest of St. Peter's, Gode•rich,'Bishop Fallon having apointed Rev. Father P. J. -Gnaw, of Aylmer, to the duties there. Rev. Father McRae has been thirty-nine years in harness and is in his 17th year in charge of St. Peter's parish, and has well earned the rest which his re- tirement will afford. In all the 39 years during which he had minister- ed, Father McRae has missed only two Sundays (except in case of sick- ness) from his official duties. It was in January of 1904 he took charge of the parish at Goderich and he is very ' highly esteemed, not only by his own people, but by the towns- people generally. —An old resident of Colborne township has been removed by the death of Mr. Andrew A. Young, which occurred on Saturday lat at the age of eighty-five years. Mr. Young was born on the farm on the sixth concession• which was his home throughout his life and on which he died. His residence in the township thus dated back to an earlier period than that of any person now living. He was never married, and outlived all the other members of his family, and lived alone for a great many years. In his final illnss he was kindly ministered to by friends and neighbors. He was a man of sturdy independence of character, took a great interest in good live stock, and had a wide reputation as a breeder, especially of Shorthorn cattle. Years ago he took an active interest in municipal affairs and was township councillor and deputy reeve. He was a member of Morning Star Lodge, A. F, e$ A. M., Carlow, and of Huron Chapter. Goderich, and the funeral on Monday wass in charge of the Masons, a large number from both town and country being present. Rev. R. J. Ross, pastor of Smith's Hill Presby- terian church, officiated. The pall. bearers were Messrs. Wm. Baie, Robert Huston. J. A. S. Varcoe, Alex. Young, John Wilson • nt A. C. Jack- son. Mr. Young had considerable means, and among the bequests in hiext will were $500 to Morning Star Lodge; $1,00(1 to Alexandra Hospital, udtrith; $'1000 to the Muslwka Free Hspital fur t_'onsurnetiyes, and*1.0(1(1 to Smith's Hill Presbyterian THF. 7'WELTH AT l3:k't•'IELD Balmy, breezy Bayfield gave a right ; royal reception to the Loyal Or:utgc Lodges, which, to the number of 20, were assembled there Tuesday to ceiehrate the •'31st anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne. l:eeve Lwin, in giving the address of welcome, said it was twenty-six roars .;ince they had •tet Orange Cclr- brat.iun in Bayfield, largely because the lodge.; thought it momma not pos- sibleto hnee it successful celebration at a point off the railway, but the fact that such an immense crowd had assembled proved that they were no longer dependern on the railways for transportation. • It was estimated that there were probably 2,1(00 motor cars and more than 8 00 people present., the beau- tiful Central Park being well filled and .lessit.t's Grove crowded.

A brief speech was made by David Beacom, of Clinton. who was given the prize for being the oldest Orange- man in the procession, being ninety- four years of age, and 74 years an Orangeman. Thomas Stephens, of Seaforth, who occupied a seat on the platform, was another veteran, being 81 years and 42 years an Orange- man.

After all, why should not the people who send a member to either theProvincial or Dominion House have a right to bring him back home if he proves unsatisfactory, neglecting the work he is sent to perform, or abus- ng his privileges?

A nose for news and a desire to hear the Lay of the Last Minstrel, I made some enquiry as to the dissatis- faction among the farmers in Huron over Mr. Biggs' good road. It is the old story. The cement trust's hired men got among the local politicians, the latter among the farmers. The U.F.O. and Biggs will ruin this coun- try,.is the song of both politicians and cement. If Mr. Biggs had not monk- eyed with a public -owned cement - making plant, he would have been proclaimed the best Minister of Pub- lic Works Ontario has ever had—from a cement point of view.

Young, which occurred on Saturday lat at the age of eighty-five years. Mr. Young was born on the farm on the sixth concession• which was his home throughout his life and on which he died. His residence in the township thus dated back to an earlier period than that of any person now living. He was never married, and outlived all the other members of his family, and lived alone for a great many years. In his final illnss he was kindly ministered to by friends and neighbors. He was a man of sturdy independence of character, took a great interest in good live stock, and had a wide reputation as a breeder, especially of Shorthorn cattle. Years ago he took an active interest in municipal affairs and was township councillor and deputy reeve. He was a member of Morning Star Lodge, A. F, e$ A. M., Carlow, and of Huron Chapter.

Thomas Stephens, of Seaforth, who occupied a seat on the platform, was another veteran, being 81 years and 42 years an Orange- man.
