We understand that a petition has been circulated asking the Mayor to call apublic meeting to urge the Gov- ernment to erect a suitable building for a pastofllce. If Clinton is to have an $8,000 building, why not Wing - ham. Why Not ? There appears to be a growing desire to have the assessment roll of each municipality published, so that every ratepayer can see how his neighbor is rated. The Madoc Review says: -."We believe it would be one of the most popular and beneficial moves that could engage the attention of our mu- nicipal legislators, and it only requires a council of originality and nerve to put it into force. Tile assessment of a municipality is the groundwork on which the whole financial superstruc- ture rests, and yet in many cases no department of;munieipal management receives less attention or has Iess known about it by either ratepayer or councillor, than the assessment of the different properties in either villages or townships. You will get the best plow repairs for all makes at the old reliable spot. - T.11. Ross, The Chinese Government has offer- ed toe.

Ardell of Brussels in town ; W. J. Greer of Wingham at his home here. A most shocking accident occurred here on Friday evening, March 28th to Mr, H. Sanderson, a prominent citizen who was cut off so suddenly, that the town received such a shock from which it will not recover for some time. It seems that the electric wires became crossed nearly opposite his home and he went out to fix them using a fish pole. The wire broke and Mr. Sander- son caught hold of the live wire ; that very instant he was dead. The unfor- tunate accident was witnessed by de- ceased's wife from the window of their home ; his boy Stanley was with his father. Mr. Mutch did everything to- wards getting his band free with the pole, receiving quite a shock while do- ing so ; but his presence of mind saved Mrs. Sanderson from instant death also, as she would undoubtedly have touched her husband in her anxiety to save him. The news soon spread and the shock was something terrible. The sad calamity has caste gloom over the whole community. Truly in the midst of life we are in death;, for a strong healthy vigorous man to meet death so suddenly, has left an impres- sion upon the hearts and minds of the people of this vicinity that will linger for many days. The funeral took place on Monday, and services were held in the Methodist church which was taxed to its fullest capacity. Rev. Garbutt delivered a very appropriate address. The hymns that were sung were fav- orites of deceased. After the service in the church, interment took place in the Gorrie cemetery. Thus the last chapter of life which promised so much for the future is closed. Mr. Sanderson was a man who held the love and esteem of every person. who knew him.
