THE VOTERS' LIST.—'rhe voters'
list for 1908 was first posted up in
the Clerk's office on July lath. The
list contains 324 names, Of this
number 198 are entitled to vote at
both municipal and parliautentlu'\
elections, 99 at municipal elections
only and 98 at parliamentary elec-
tions only. There are 105 persons
eligible to serve as jurors. Every
voter should see that his name is on
the list.
A WESTERN publisher is said to
have hit upon a plan to keep sub-
scriptions paid up which "takes the
cake," Every time 0 delinquent
sebscriber is mentioned his name is
inverted. For example, "nlloJ
sonoJ and his wife are spending a
few days in Chicago." Every other
subscriber understands what it
means and there is a great rush to
get "right side up" again. Which
wry do you stand?

NEW STAMPS HAVE Goon SALE.—
The new issue ot'stamps is probably
the most beautiful special set of pos-
tage stamps ever issued in the Do-
minium. The designs are truly
uatianal in 00arac.et. and the colors,
11) addition to being pleasing, also
harmonize with another, a point
which will appeal to stamp collectors
at least, There are eight stamps
in the tercentenary set, ranging in
value from one-half to 20 emits.
Four of the stamps bear portraits
and four hear scenes in connee,tlon
with Quebec's history. The one-
half cent (drab) hos the portraits of
the Prince and Princess of Wales,
the one -cent (green) shows Cattier
and Champlain, the two -cent (cu'.
urine) bears the King and Queen,
and the seven -cent (olive) repro.
Bents the two heroes of Canada,
Wolfe and Montealn. The five -cent
stamp (blue) bras a picture oflt typi-
cal French house of the old days,
the ten -cent variety (violet) repre-
sents Quebec in 1700, the fifteen.
Cent (light brown) represents the
departure of an exploring party
from Quebec for the West, and the
twentycent stamp (dark brown)
show's the arrival of Cartier at Que.
bee in 1635.

suddenly sprung upon a noinnim1ity

Blyth has failed in more ways than

that you have decided to remove

well. You have proved yourself to
be It loyal and exemplary citizen,
and the town can 111 1111010 to lose
you.' It is in the field of Oddfollow-
ship where you have been especially
active and we are free to acknow-
ledge that few igen have so .high a
conception of the duties and oblige•
tions which it enjoins. You have
spared noieffort, in time er personal
inconvenience, in advancing the
good of the order, and we feel that
this was all done with the most un-
selfish motives, which is a reward in
Itself; and while the society has
prospered through your efforts you

agency, We cannot allow this op-
portunity to pass without recogfdz.

they afford, and that prosperity and
happiness may attend you wherever
your lot in life may be cast. Signed

which he expressed gratitude to the

duty. Eulogistic speeches were

in the room, all expressing regret at
Bro. Tannin's departure and appre-
efxtion of his services so willingly
