LIVING BMW -it is not often news- paper men are permitted to live high, although the most of them deserve the best that is going.

For an excellent five -pound sample of the latter and a beautiful plump speci- men of the former we are indebted to Mr. Ed. Cantelon. Mr. Cantelon is one of the best shots in Clinton. Mr. J. G. Steep, of Goderich township, also pre- sented us with a dressed hare which was quite toothsome and palatable. THE DOG AND MONKEY Sow. -Just a word or two, Mr. Editor, -I have bad some trouble over this delightful af- fair. I gave a note to my children so that I could attend with them in the afternoon, hut the generous Principal refused to honor my commanchtor rath- er request, and there was great disap- pointment and annoyance in conse- quence. As a taxpayer 1 feel 1 have a right to say where my children shall or shall not go. I notice they are in the school books taught about the. various dumb animals, and why our boys and girls should be forbidden or prohibited by Mr. Lough or any one else -against the expressed and written wish of par- ents -the taxpayers, who maintain and pay for these schools -1 fail tp under- stand. I would like some explanation as to why or children were prohibited from attending the dog and monkey show, then I will speak further. -PAR- ENT AND TAXPAYER. r A'LARGE ATIENDANCE.-There was ar . attendance of over 300 at the On- tario St. Sunday School last Sunday ; the largest number at a regular session in the history of the school.

Might we not well pause and ask what has been alone during the past two years to advance the interests of our town? 'What has been our progress ? Almost nil. What action has the Town Council taken to encourage manufac- turers to locate here, one of the best railway centres outside the larger cities ? What has becokne of the Stavely estate grant? Is it possible that the interests of the town must be sacrificed for years that it may do ser- vice -again at the next local election ? Truly, it seems so. Why has there not 'been a Board of Trade formed, whose business it would be to look after such matters as pertain to the welfare of the place? What establith- ed the bicycle, furniture, knitting and other factories in Goderich? -Why, a good, live citizens committee who had the interests of their town at heart, ench as any progressi /e and go -a -bead town I should and do have. Why should our town not take hold of the electric light plant? Money is cheap. Give the citizens cheap light. If it is in the interests of the people that the government should control public works, why should our town not con- trol the lights now when an oppor- tunity presents itself to acquire it? It is only a matter of time, and not far *distant, when a waterworks and "selvage system will he Absolutely necessary.
