Quite a number re. sponded to the invitation, which made the meeting quite an interesting one, bringing out all phases of the ques- tion. After pretty full discussion the general feeling of the meeting was found to be that as the U.F.O. had already at their convention named a supporter of the Temperance question in the person of Mr. W. G. Medd, of Exeter, that it might be best for the convention, under those circumstances, not to put a candidate in the field, which would /dean three, and two of them standing for the present O.T.A. It yeas decided by a vote not to put a candidate in the field at least not at this meeting, but that it would be well for the Executive of the U.F.O. and that of the Liberal to meet and discuss the matter and particularly so as there had been some misunder- standing in the proposed meeting of those executives at the time of hold- ing the convention. Mr. }Leaman took the chair before the close of the meeting- and very ably spoke on mat- ters connected with the convention. Mr. J. M. Govenlock, of Seaforth, very ahly performed the duties of Secre- tary. and Mr. Parliament gave a splendid and. able speech in regards to all the great questions that were at this particular time before the electors.

His subject was "The Luggage of Life," and in the lecture he very happily blended wit, humor and instruction. The attendance was not as large as the lecture deserved, owing to other functions being held the same evening, including a dance in the town halls which always tends to divide the attendance.

Joynt has been in Toronto for the past, week or two where she underwent an operation for throat trouble.
