Is the theme we bring to your notice at this time. 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. We have yet to find the style
of garments we cannot duplicate, Although plain, neat styles are
more in line with strictly high-class tailoring this season, it is for
yon to name your style—WE WILL MAKE IT.
OUR FURNISHING DEPARTMENT is filled with the newest
and best for Spring and Summer in all lines.
We have also added a first-class lino of Jewelry.

—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. The elementary history to
be authorized by the Department of
Education will contain some of the
stirring and 'valiant deeds of Canadi-
ans in the Boer war, the North-West
rebellion, and other parts of the world,

—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.

Look after your hair. Parisian Sage
will kill the dandruff germs, and is the
only preparation, so far as we know,
that is guaranteed to do so.
Man or woman, no matter how old
you are, Parisian Sage will make you

and your money back if it does not
cure dandruff, stop falling hair, or
itching of the scalp. It will make your
hair luxuriant, bright and beautiful,
and it is the most refreshing, pleasant
and invigorating hair dressing made.
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.
