HARD LINES -In conversation this week
With one of the best farmers in the town.
I. ship' of Tuckersmith, he asserted that.
- ---.._ __ during_ this past'ioniyears-he-had -not
made one dollar off his faun?, and he went
on to say that if it was not ter the fact
- •" ' that he had resources outside of his farm,
he would.not have been able to get along
at all. If -this be true what must be the
experience of those farmers not so favor-
ably situated.
HARVEST HomE.—A mos

harvest lionie social fn connection with
Alma church was held last Thursday
evening at the residence of Mr,. Whi,
Dale. About one hundred and fifty`
partook of supper, after which a most
interesting literary programme was
gone +tbrough 'with. The pleasing all,
was made at the'cl'ose that
the proceeds were sufficient to clear the
Alma church of the debt that has been
hanging over it so long.
TtiCHMISMITIC SCI(OOL BOAR).- The
meeting of the;"school board for, hiring
the teachers for next year was held at
Egmondville last Saturday. Nearly all
the old teachers were re-engaged. 'Mr
Dallas, of the West End, resigned, and
Mr A. Cozens was hired in his place.
Miss. McKay, formerly of Harpurhey,
was engaged for the new school at Han-
nah's corner and Harpu hey school will
be closed at the New Year. There was
a slight reduction in salaries till around,
• but considering the Bard times the
teachers have not much room to grumble.
The NEW RVA will be sent to new subserib.
era to the and of the year, for 25 cents cash.
. FAMIMIS' 0xii.-The West End far-
mers' club had a most successful meet-
ing last Tuesday evening. Mr John
McMillian, M. P., was present and ad-
dressed the meeting 011 the subject of
Commercial Union. Ile delivered a
most interesting speech which wa.5 at-
tentively liatened to for nearly two
hours by a good audience Of
both ladies and gentlemen. Mr Me.
Millian has taken a good deal of trouble
to go through the trade and navigation
returns to get facts still figures hearing
on the subject and proved conclusively
that not only would the farmers of Carl.
ads be benefitted by Commercial Union
but the majority of our manufactures
need have nothing to fear. IIe also took
zip the arguments of those opposed to
it, and showed that they did not have,,
y much weight. The loyalty cry he an.
swered by stating that he came to this
country to better his condition ill life,
and meant to use all fair and honorable
means to do so, though at the same
time he could not see how Britian was
- going to be injured to any extent by the
adoption of the change by Canada. Mr
McMillan also started that when an at.
tempt was (made to renew the reciprocity
treaty with the United States, a sketch
Wk was drawn up and assented to by Sir
Edward Thornton, British Minister at
Washington, with the knowledge and
consent of 'the British government,
whereby- certain-" manufacturer] goods
were to be admitted free of duty be.
tween Canada and the United States,
and although the treaty was never final-
ly arranged, yet it proves conclusively
that England would not, object to Can-
ada making tiny commeroial treaty with
the United States that she thought fit.
So stron0 is Mr McMillan's faith in
Colnmerenal Union that he states posi-
tively that if it wlis advocated ill the
hoose of parliament, Ino was ready to
Ruppert it 'no matter which party
brought it forward..
