Eggs 1.2c. G. E, KING. Town Council. Council met on Monday evening to consider the application of the P. R. Cumming Mfg. Co„ Toronto, for the building and plant of the Iron Works. All the members of Council were pres- ent except Conn. Bell. Several com- munications from the company were read. The best offer they could make was ;$10;000, payable in twelve equal annual instalments. References had been made to the Ontario Bank, and Dunn agency; reports from these were read and were fairly favorable, It was also reported that a traveller of the firm of Win. Buck & Co., stove manufacturers of Brantford, had stat- ed his firm might come here. The Mayor had written thein, and their re- ply was to the effect that they contem- plated taking no action while negotia. Mons were pending with another firm. After full and careful consideration, the Council decided to more fully in- vestigate the matter, and It was moved by Councillors Elliott and Irwin that Conn's. Mclndoo and VanStone go to Toronto and investigate more fully. It was afterwards decided, that as a practical man, Mr. W. Button woutd be valuable aid, and he may accom- pany the committee. A communica- tion was read from the Canada Puma tore Mfrs. Ltd., offering to pump wee ter for the streets at $2.50 per day, This matter was Left with Messrs. Me- Indoe and Holmes, as they proposed using other means in order to fill the waeter•eart• eft'. Pimnning, of the P, b, O;ite sling 00,, being in town, was then invited to the roots. Ills state- ments Agreed with the reports receiv- ed, lint it was decided to let the matter rest until the committee of Connell had Investigated aril reported. Conn- ell then adjourned, There is no need for uueaslness on the part of the rate- payers, as every member of the Coun- cil is impressed with the necessity of caution in the disposal of the betiding mid. 1t14ns. Theft are very tl,psirnns of evoi(iing future disappointment and vexation. lienee 'their decision to fully investigate offers received. • Simms ItEPArnitn...-,W e do repairing and do it rig'it.

WANTBD,.Auother carload of good potatoes. --J no. & Jas. II. Kerr. Save The Birds. The Weekly Sun says; --A young lad wars fined $1 and costs at Wiarton a short time ago for shooting a robin. It world be well if the same sort of punishment were inflicted on young lads in other sections of Ontario. Gen- erally, when ever a holiday occurs, young lads can be found going about with guns blazing at every bird in sight. This is not only the most cruel kind of sport, but the result of it is to cause the destruction of what is per- haps. the best friend of the farther and fruit -grower, Public opinion should he aroused in this matter to sucb an extent that further destruction will be rendered impossible. East Huron. The Conservatives( of East Huron 'net in Brussels on Friday last. The first gnestion taken up was whether a candidate should be placed in the field.

G. W. Ross lost the glorious opportunity of his life of rendering his name immor- tal. Instead of iftrodlrring a Prohibi- tory law, as be had promised, or pot- ting tate question to a vote on a fair basis, he had switched the matter off the track by the abominable referen- dum." Man's best life is dependent npon un- interrupted communication with its source --God.

When discouraged and depressed, lift up your chest, take an attitude of courage, and epeak these words several times, slow and earnest- lye—„faith,—hope,—courage.” When sensitive over ill-treatment, take the correct physical attitude and say, sev- eral times, slowly and earnestly,— "love, -- patience, — forgiveness," and see if you don't feel better."
