of Wingham and have been signed by

languishing in Goderich gaol sentenced
for any length of time. -Advance.

Killop, moved that the meeting endor se
their action of a year ago in making
Mr. McMillan the nominee of the con-
vention. At once there were a half
dozen irrecon :lahles on their feet all
clamoring for another convention sup-
lortin two "dark horses," one was
abelled George McEwen, of Hensel!,
and the other Wm. M. Gray, of Sea -
forth. The row grew in proportion as
each Grit attempted to air his views,
while our M. P. P. sat on the fence
watching the fight ready to fa,11 over to
the strongest faction. Mr. McMillan
spoke forcibly to the point endeavor-
ing ro paur oil upon the troubled waters
hut it was no go. Re then resigned as
nominee of the convention, and the pre-
sident has called a convention for the
20th inst., at Brucefleld, where a battle
royal will be fought. We cannot un-
derstand what the Grits of South
Duron mean by rejecting Mr. McMillan
a man se eminent in the connate of
the Grit party at Ottawa. Is It a ease
of the pprophet in his own country? --

iuforms ns that the report is
entirely unfounded and says : "I
am in the field to stay, believ-
ing, as I do, that I have carried out
the wishes of those who elected me.'
•-Exeter Advocate.
A foolish idea to entertain is that a
stranger in a distant city will deal
more fairly and honestly with one than
a business man and neighbor can or
will do. Competition is keen today in
the villages and' towns throughout the
province and as a consequence goods
are cut down to the ;lowest possible
point, leaving little, or in many cases
no margin to the merchant. Do not be
taken in by catalogues sent ont by
city firms. Perhaps in a moment of
weakness you will find yourself order-
ing articles you can do without. Be
loyal to local institutions and in the
long run you will be the gainer.
The class lists of McGill Uuiversity

prize in German; and first-class general
standing. Miss Brooks is now in her
third year, and bids fair to carry off
more Universityhonors and prizes
than any one of the many students.
Besides the honors enumerated, Miss
Brooks got first-class in Greek, Latin
prose, composition, logic, modern his-
tory, and French, and second class in
Latin authors. She was awarded the
Sii Donald Smith scholarship of $100

ent returning officers were recommend-
ed by the meeting. "Resolved, that
this meeting consider it the duty of
the association not to allow the Re-
form candidate, whoever•he may he to
he elected by acclamation, we, there-
fore appoint a committee of three, to
provide a Conservative to he nominat-
ed on the day set apart for that pur-
pose."
