"ZWAINSIOCIW*--70""'! If the Drinkers Become Total Abstainers the Prosperity or Any Municipalit3 h creased. To the Editor of The News -Record, Dear Sir,—While Mr. Ransford his address to the council at their last meeting spoke of "ignorant ob. Notion" etc., , and endeavored to em- pha,stze the statement that he and the other petitioners against sub- mitting the question of Local Option to the people were very influential and extremely well informed, it is decidedly strange that they should so strenuously object to ihe privilege of proving their influence by appeal- ing to the people as a whole, and designedly omit, or carelessly neglect to say Anything on the subject under consideration. that would in any way create the Impression that the. add-. rss emanated from a well informed source, If Mr. Ransford is ia po- session ef any information that wou- ld lead to the belief' that Local Op- tion would prove disastrous to 'the business interests of the. tewii, ho 'lutethoroughly succeeded in observ- ing the secret with the utmost strict- ness so far as the public are concern- ed.: 1 have read his address several times .with the expectation that •frona ' that fountain of information there Would shine forth a light,clear and bright, illuminating the whole question and penetrating' all Obstrue- tiens to' a clear view of the tens havoc Local Option wOuld make with the trade and commerce of the town.. But there was no •light, only the dull, dead meteoric Substanee: that had extinguished itself in the • one supreme effort to pose as a star of tremendous magnitude and exceptio al brilliancy.

The present season has been extremely dry and hot, consequently nearly all kinds of crops are light. 'Potatoes especially aro.-poor, The chief crops grown there are wheat, oats and barley and for some time back a. great deal of elover has: been grOwn.. There has 'not been so . much' wheatl grown of late. on account of the .
