The big chaps who were responsible for allowing the, irregularities and graft to get so prevalent, are still on the job, It, was all right to punish those, but why should those mainly responsible for the mess escape, King's For Bargains I We Want Your Trade s...o 10000 .0.11001 Gloves We've just put into stock afine range of Ladies' Gloves in the leading shades in Lisle and Kid, and in long and short lengths.

Some wise man has said—"My son, get wisdom, and with all thy getting, get under- standing." The wise man to -day says—"Get a New Snit or Over- coat, and when you are getting, get it made to your order, in your own town. where yon know what yon are getting, and that it is genuine Tailor-made." That would be wisdom; that would be un- derstanding. Our NEW SPRING GOODS have arrived, and it is not exaggerating to say that they include the nicest lines we have bad for some time, and at prices corresponding with the qualities shown. Space will not allow us to go into details, but WE HAVE THE GOODS and can make them any style desired. We are dealing in strong statements, but will back them up.

JIM Tailor and Furnisher For lien Who Care 'e peediedb'h' —The fact that the Central prison, in the banner province of the Domin- ion, is actually crowded, does not speak well for Ontario, where Church- es, Sunday Schools, Leagues, Guilds, Y. M. C. A., and other moral move- ments are perhaps at their best. With all these uplifting agencies at work, one would naturally look for a better condition of affairs, Is it really true, that "the world is getting better?" by the people of property which was being paid for with the people's tnoney, lie complimented the Opposition lead- er upon the vigor of his speech and the patriotism of it "in some respects." "I ain forced to the conclusion that his speech leads to a declaration in. favor of public ownership, for he showedthat thin country is commit- ted to nine -tenths of what the Grand Trunk Pacific will cost, the other one- tenth, being supplied by the Grand Trunk Pacific or its ally the old Grand Trunk. If that is the case, and I be- lieve it is,. then I go further and say that the people of this .country would support a movement and I believe it is the wish of the people of this country to -day that Canada should take over the whole proposition and own it for the people of Canada. Otherwise, 'ac- cording to the confession of Mr, Hays in his letter; disaster awaits this great proposition." Mr. Maclean laid stress upon the fact as disclosed in figures given to the House by the Finance Minister himself, that the Girand Trunk con- trolled the Grand Trunk Pacific. The Grand Trunk stock was being kicked about by a clique in England with the object of controlling the Grand Trunk and Canada would be without security for the money she was putting up. The Canadian.Northern or the Q. P. R. would be seeking control of the fa, T. P. Dir. Maclean moved his amend- ment ; when it was ruled out he said : "That case can stand, I want to give the Prime Minister the opportunity of considering whether he will accept it or not," —Tenders aro being asked for the printing of the new series of school readers which have been in course of compilation for some time past, and it is expected that the new edition will be available for the schools immedi- ately after the coming mid-"suminer vacation. The new readers are to be decidedly more of a British and patri- otic character than any of the former readers.

Holmes • Whitechurch —Here are two facts that do not fit in very well with each other. In To- ronto last week, an immense gather- ing of ministers and laymen met, with great enthusiasm in the endeavor to promote the evangelization of the world in the present generation, and thus bring all nations under the sway of the gospel of "peace on earth, good will to men." At the same time, the nation; are armed as never before. The fear and threat of war is in the air, and nations are actually impov- erishing themselves in preparation of expected conflict. Even peaceful Canada is talking of navy, Dread- noughts, etc. The Missionary Con- gress and the wholesale slaughter that must result if war breaks out, do not fit together very well. —By recent legislation, country storekeepers will be allowed to sell carbonate of magnesia, rocheles salts, blue stone, copperas, rhubarb root, salt petre, spirits of nitre, solution of ammonia, chloride of lime, green camphor, citrate of magnesia and qui- nine, paras green, tincture of iodine, hellebore, a five per cent. solution of carbolic acid and arsenite of lead, the three last named largely used for spraying purposes may also be sold. A record of all sales must be kept and schedule of the dangerous poisons is still prohibited. No compounding of the medicine is allowed. The bill was opposed by the College of Pharmacy, through a representative. Ile con- tended the danger in the bill lay in the fact that country merchants knew nothing about unscheduled drugs and the ingredients of many of the medi- cines sold. CHANGES IN LICENSE ACT. 1`toWlck, One farmer a little way out of Gor• rie sold some twenty bead of cattle the other day for .shipment, which netted him $1,400, Mr. John Wattera made a valuable addition to his herd of good cattle, by purchasing last week, three thorough- bred Durhains. During the month of March, eight- een care of freight were shipped ft om Fordwich station, the freight amount- ed to $1223 00, an increase of $479,14 over the same month for 1008, This is a good ehowing for a village station. After twenty-three years faithful service as mail carrier between Ford- wieh and Newbridge, Dlr. Chapman is retiring, and an Wednesday made his last trip, He has been very obliging and many are sorry that he is quitting. On his last trip, his horse and rig was gaily bedecked with bunting, Mr. R. Armstrong, of Newbridge, will carry the mail for the next four years. In St, Stephens''Church, Gorrie, on Wednesday evening, Mr, Robert W. Walker, a successful young farmer of the 4th con., Iiowick, and Miss Jennie Armstrong, eldest daughter of Mrs, M. Armstrong, 0th con., of sauce town- ship, were united in the bonds of wed- lock, by Rev. T. IL Farr. The young couple will settle on the groom's farm on the 4th con. of Howick. The Bill introduced by Hon, W. J. Hanna, aims at making the License law still more stringent, Energetic measures will be taken to prevent the sale of liquor hi "blind pigs" and by non -license holders. At present the fine for a First offence is from $.i0 to $100. In the new bill the minimum is raised to $100 and the maximum $200. There is a similar increase for second and subsequent offences from four to six months' imprisonment. The recently appointed inspector is given power to visit and inspect any tavern or house for which a license is issued, and to see that the •laws as to protection, safety, comfort and con- venience of guests are properly ob- served. Another section requires the dis- closure of names of persons selling liquor to minors, under penalty of three months' imprisonment. Breweries are prohibited from sell- ing liquor to private persons, and must confine their sales to the trade. Power is also taken to sell liquor so seized, to dealers, and to pay all the freight or express charges from the proceeds. The Manitoba law is also adopted, permitting the seizure of liq- uor anywhere except in private houses. —The discussion in the Commons of the proposed loan of ten million dol- lars to the Grand Trunk Pacific, re- called a previous loan made to the old Grand Trunk away back in 1862. The original loan in this case was for a little over $15,000,000, and in making the same it was provided that the Grand Trunk should not be called on for interest until after it was paying dividends not only up to the fourth preference stock but on to the ordi- nary stock of the company as well. As the net earnings of the company have never met all the prior charges the interest continued to accumulate, and at the time of Confederation amounted to $10,000,000. The loan, with interest added, must amount by this time well on to $100,000,000. It is now considered so completely dead that it is no longer carried in the statement of the Dominion's assets. GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC LOAN. LOCAL OPTION HOTELS. The provisigli, for a "local option" hotel license applies to the local option municipalities or other municipalities in which no licenses are granted, or in unorganized districts. They will be subject to inspection, and come under a similar standard as to accommoda- tion, bedding, safety of guests, etc., as the ordinary licensed hotels. Stab- ling, however, may not be required. The annual license fee shall be $5. During the debate on the loan of ten millions to the Grand Trunk Paci- fic, Mr. R. L. Borden Bummed up as follows :— Government guarantee and loan on whole G. T. P. western section, $70,- 058,000. Interest to be paid in seven years on mountain section, $1.8,413,750. Grand Trunk guarantee, $28,750,000. Cost to country of eastern section, $180,000,000. "Two hundred and eighty millions," said Mr. Borden, "in one way or an- other. The Grand Trunk provides a $28,750,000 guarantee out of a total cost of $280,000,000 and. receives for that assistanto all the twenty-five mil• lions of common stock of the G. 't P., and the people of Canada who pro- vide the balance of nine -tenths are to receive absolutely nothing." Mr. Bor- den tanned to the Prime Minister. "What," he demanded, "do you pro- pose to do for the people of Canada P" The answer to the Borden query was a speech from Fred. Pardee of West Lambton in which " st Liberal announced lits willingnesfi to support a loan of twice ten millions. W, F. Maclean followed ii'. P.

The Howick Agricultural Society has decided to enter the Standing Field Crop Competition this year and the Secretary, Mr. J. II. Rodgers, has notified the Superintendent Mr. J. Lockie Wilson, to that effect. The Society has selected white oats as the crop for competition, of which five acres must be sown. The competitors must seleet and furnish their own seed. $50 will be offered in prizes, to be di- vided as follows : $15, $12, $10, $8, $5. Prize winners may send two bushel sacks of grain to both Guelph and Ot- tawa Winter Fairs, for which the De- partment are offering large prizes. in addition to the above, arrangements have been made with the Directors of Canadian National exhibition, to be held in Toronto from August 28th to September 13th, to donate $240 in prizes for a sheaf exhibit of grain from the fields, the owners of which, were awarded prizes in the Standing Field Crop Competition, PARISIAN SAGE Puts Hair On Your Head And Keeps It There. 4 Tie Money to loan on farms at low- est rates.

Mr. Norman McKenzie of town re- ceived atelegram on Tuesday morn- ing, stating that his son John M. was dead at Hartney, Man. Tuesday last saw the passing away of a very old resident of northern Cul- ross, in the person of Mr. Chas. Brad- ford, who for some years has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Henry Huffman. People are leaving daily for the West, locating all the way from Win- nipeg to Edmonton. Among those who went from this locality recently, 'Ire : D. E. McDonald of - town, Thos. Akhurst, Duncan McGregor, Langside, Emma .McRae. The marriage of Miss Bella McKen- zie, daughter of Mrs. John McKenzie, 10th con., Kinloss, to Mr. Walter Day of Culross, was solemnized on Wed- nesday evening, Mar. 31st. Mr. and Mrs. Day will make their home on the Adamson farm, recently purchased by Mr. Day. Many of our readers will regret to learn of the death of Mr. Wm. Scott, a Culross pioneer, who for many years was prominent in township affairs. Re died at his home in Radisson, Sask., on March 10, at the age of 74 years and 11 months. 1 -le left Culross twelve years ago, going to Manitoba, where he resided until a few years mince, when he retired to Radisson. Representatives of the Teeswater Musical: Society, numbering about a doyen, drone to 'Wingham Friday ev- ening to give Mr. Geo. Wrigley, late director of the Band, assurance of their appreciation of his services. A meeting was arranged for in the Brun- swick hotel, and.
