question the genuineoeas of a cheque

Secretary Dickie, of the License
$older*' association, has issued a ch•.
. cular to hotel -keepers and others on
whom a committee will call to secure
n payment of the referendum tee
s asked by the association. Part of
- the circular is as follows :
' " I was instructed to say that,the
assessment of $100 for each member
of the trade in Toronto was not only
for the purpose of carrying on the
Icampaign in this city, but also to
assist those districts throughout On-
tario where no licenses are in exist-
ence, or where the license holders
are so few in number and do so
little business that it would be im-
possible for them to contribute suffi-
ciently to thoroughly organize their
'district.
"The main object Is to secure a
majority of the actual votes cast
upon the measure, and by doing so
stop any farther agitation for probi•
bitten, or partial prohibition, and,
furthermore, to stop what is hound
to come, if a majority is secured in
favor—an agitation for legislation
to do away with the public barroom
in hotels and the retail sale by liquor
stores."
A Newspaper Man's View.
In its report of the Christian En-
deavor convention at Ottawa the
Citizen says :—Mr. R. W. Dillon, of
the St. Marys Argus, who spoke on
"'Phe Church and the Newspaper,"
announced that he did not propose to
say how Christ would run a news-
paper. " That has been tried by
one man and you al? know how it
ended." Mr. Dillon said that mere
negative goodness was not enough
either in the churches or papers.
" Churches and papers should recog-
nize the imitations of oue another.
Preachers should know that a news-
paper is a business proposition. Too
many church people expect the
paper to run their notices of socials
free of cost. Church people should
have more respect for themselves
and not aek something for nothing.
'i'hey should take a lesson from the
advance agent of a circus in this
respect. In the news aspect, you
should not expect a paper to print
long religious articles to the ex-
clusion of news and market reports
any more than it Christtan man to
spend his whole time in prayer
meeting. If papers were run as
' some people want they would bo
nothing but milk and water ®heck
and absolutely useless,
—The management or the Stan-
dard bank have decided to open a
branch at Seaford).
—The Blyth flour mills chopped
326 bags on Thursday last. This is
the largest day's chopping ever done
in that establishment.
—Mrs. E. Toms, who was the
guest . f her son, Mr. George Toms,
proprietor of the Auburn flour mills,
for two months, left on Saturday
mt*ning for her home in Kingsville.
—.Mrs. White, widow of the late
M. J. White, late editor of the Exeter
Times, and family, accompanied by
her sister, Mies Marie Clarke, of San
Francisco, left for the latter city Sat-
urday morning, where they will ro-
side in future.
—The daily papers have every
day an account of some shooting
accident. It is astonishing how
simply an accident may happen, and
the victim knows not how It oc-
curred. Surely tho lovers of the
rifle should try and be more careful
both as to where and how they shoot,
and as to how they carry their rifle.
—The Toronto board of control
has stricken out the $50 tax on
laundries, pressed for by the big
concerns avowedly to limit competi-
tion and abet out small Chinese
laundries, the solicitor declaring it
to be illegal. The municipalities
can Impoae an inspection fee by
'license, but have no right to tax to
limit competition.
—The annual meeting of the
Huron county Women's Christian
Temperance Union was held in
W Ingham, on Thursday and Friday
October 9th and lOth. Encouraging
reports were read of the work being
done by the Union, and excellent
papers bearing on temperance work
were read by delegates, Zurich was
decided upon as the next place of
meeting. The following officers
were elected for the ensuing year :
President, Mrs. E. P. Paulin, Dash-
wood ; vice-president, Miss K. M.
Fisher, Wingham ; treasurer, Mrs.
Slater, Blyth ; corresponding secre-
tary, Mies Steinbach, Zurich; re.
cording -secretary, Mts. J. P. Ken-
nedy, Wingham.
--A correspondent sends us the
following ;--1 married a widow who
had a daughter. My father visited
our house frequently, fell in love
and married my step -daughter.
TIM, my father became my son-in-
law and my stepdaughter my
mother, because she was my father's
wife. My step -daughter had also a
son, he was of course my brother
and at the same time my grand.
child for he was the sun of my
daughter. My wife was my grand-
mother, because she was my mother's
mother. I was my wife's husband
and grandchild at the same time,
and as the husband of a person's
grand•mnther is his grandfather I
was my grand -father.
—A meeting of the directors of
the West Huron farmers' institute'
was held in the Temperance hall at
Auburn on Friday afternoon last.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of arranging a program for
the coming winter. Supplementary
meetings will be held at Port Albert
on November 24th, Auburn on No-
vember 25th, Wingham on Novem-
ber 26th, and St. Helens on Novem-
ber 27th, During the first week in
December special meetings will be
held at Kintail, Carlow, Goderich,
Londesboro, Potters Hill and Blyth.
Regular meetings will be held at
Clinton and Dungannon sometime in
January. The principal speakers at
the supplementary meetings will be
Mr. Andrew Elliott, of Galt, and Mise
Maddock, of Guelph.
—London's system of laying side-
walks appeals to the Stratford editors,
says the Beacon r " To know the
policy in vogue in London is to real-
ize how much we are behind the
times. The London council notifies
the ratepayers on streets where new
sidewalks are necessary, that a
plank walk will bo laid and the
entire cost assessed to the ratepayers,
if two-thirds of them, representing
one-half of the property value, do
not petition for a granolithic walk.
The result is obvious— all new walks
are of granolithic. In Stratford only
25 per tient of the cost of walks on
residental streets, and 40 per cent
of those on business streets, is borne
by the city. If London's policy were
copied we would have granolithic
walks in abundance,"
