Prohibition
• Prohibition is the great issue at the
Itpresent time. Some people go so
far as to say, "That we should be
prohibited from selling Ready-made
Clothing at such sacrifice prices." Be that
as it may, the gain is yours. This week we
have the biggest snaps in Suits that we
have ever offered.
The maker's price for these was $10.00 ; there are just 15 of these Suits
—that is the only trouble, quantity too small — made from the
choicest Tweeds in light and dark shades ; the patterns are very
satisfying ; enough kinds to meet all good tastes ; Suits are silk
and linen sewn throughout ; on Saturday, May 31st, you may buy
one of these $10.00 Suits, while they last, for $6 75
(You may as well save $3.25 as your neighbor.)

A large number attended the nomi-
nation in Brussels on Thursday of last

also their mover and seconder. We

most excellent speech, the first one of
the campaign. Mr. Hyslop, who has
had a good deal of practice, did very
well also, East Huron is a Grit hive,
and it seems almost impossible to ex-
pect the return of the Conservative
candidate. We can recall '78, and such
a thing as electing a Conservative in
East Huron might occur. Something
is going to drop on the 20th (to -day).

mony the wedding party drove to the

dainty dejeuner was awaiting thorn on
the lawn. After doing justice to the
good things the tables were cleared

pleasantly spent in dancing, games
and other amusements. Numerous
and costly were the gifts bestowed on
the bride, showing the marked esteem
in which the happy pair are held. The
young couple will take up their abode
at their home on the Oth con„ East

wishes of the community for their
future happiness,
