I was at a lose to know what answer to make, but ou ongniry found that the fact is this up-to-date progressive and prosperous corporation does not own a it is Union Jaclt; and on occasions when fitting to have a flag raised one has to be borrowed for the purpose. This is indeed a wrong state of affairs, and surelythe lac where we boast of so this o e e much loyalty we can afford a flag for the use of the town on required occasions. Let the proper authorities look after this matter without delay. * * Dealing with the flag question reminds me that a town clock was spoken of some time ago. Has the matter been dropped? I am not of the opinion that the couucil should expend any cousiderable sum of money in placing an article of decoration and usefulness in the town hall tower at present, but perhaps an arrangement could be made to have the present bell chime out the hours of the day. Now that spring has arrived the roving bovines are w,th us again, the average house -holder who takes a pride in hav- ing his front lawn kept in fine appear -1 ance will "view with alarm" the danger of roaming stock getting in and destroy- ing that which has caused hint so much work and lime to keep m good con- dition. It is said that, to avert the danger of anything of this kind happen- ing, one of our citizens has taken the precaution of putting a feuce in front of is property and incidentally enclosed a onion of the King's highway. # ro• Of course there is a town by-law pro- hibiting cattle running at large except they are properly guarded, but the great trouble seems to be that during "tho i summer months when cows are being driven to and from pasture that duty is for the most part relegated to the small boy who is not up to the business, and, 1 who allows them more liberty than they el ould have. Thus it is that they some- _liymes do considerable damage to gardens and lawns, and hence the necessity fo protecting one's property against so intruders. However, it is questions e whether in a case like the above it w u d not be a dangerous precedent to al any citizen to encroach upon the pu highway. There's no telling but th it might lead to the narrowing down to lanes of our much -vaunted beautiful. wide streets. all be filled with music, t infest the day is like the Arabs, 1 away." M M Speaking of the streets brings up an- other matter that I have heard more or less talk about—that is, that we should have more light on the residential streets. Now, can anyone, give any good and sufficient reason why the streets should not be properly lighted? If so, let him now speak. Iu many places not nearly so large or important as Wingham the residential streets are well lighted.

Robinson, ane i Inspector Paisley's office at Clint() , on Thursday of last week,when applic tions for liquor licenses for the year 1903 were considered. • Last year there were 29 hotel and 2 shop licenses granted and this year there were applications for 31 hotel and 2 shops, 29 of the former being granted and 2 to be considered at an ad- journed meeting. That of S. Pike, of the Waverly House, Clinton, was not granted owing to insufficient population.. That of W. G. Boggs, Carlow, was left over until the adjourned meeting. There were large petitions for and against this license, and deputations on both sides waited on the commissioners. Those receiving licenses 'were:--Clin- ton J, Rattenbury, Perkins & Mahon, J. J.

However, I would hasten to inform an anxious public that the missing roan from Manitoulin has not been seen in the vicinity of ingharn: ut QPVA I This reminds me of a story of a man who, having some important news for his wife, rushed horridly from his office to his residence, and, not finding his better half at home, enquired of the servant, "Do you know anything of my wife's whereabouts?"
