An item in The Owen Sound Sun would make it appear that the Mayor and two other citizens of that town who attended the Orange Grand Lodge meeting here last tit were Ihiscotlt'tellllsly treated by some of our hotel -keepers. for the reason that they hailed from a "local option town." The item Is given with a good weal"of circumstantiality, but the main state- ment, that the. Owen Sound men were retuned acronunolation, is declared by the local hotel -keepers to be absolutely untrue. On arrountof the large num- ber of t•isilnrs in town that week spwt•ial ar•ang.•ments were necessary for the accommodation of some. end it wF(a'tinpowelble to give every guest the attention which in a leas busy time he +night have haul : but. outside of this anti the feet that the Owen Mound men alight have been eubjected to a little "jollying" on the local op- tion question, they were treated with every rotrt.esy due to them. Can it be that the Mayor of Owen Mound in making up hie story was seeking t, [[gQ' titaunne cheap popularity with hie local option supporters ? On the Lecture Platform.
