The question of the relative merits of the poster and the newspaper for ad- vertising purroses are hardly debat- able. As an advertising- medium the poster on a wall or fence compares with the newspaper about as the old stage coach compares with the modern ex- nress train as a -means of transportation Where the poster reaches and influenc- es one person the newspaper reaches and influences hundreds.

For Von Boys. The disorderly and unbecoming con- duct of the boys who gather at the post office every eveniug during the time of distributing the last maf]s is becom- ing most enonotinous and annoying both to the public and postmaster and unless discontinued forthwith the post- master informs us that legal proceed- ing's will be taken. It is simply shame- ful the way some boys carryon and it is about time a stop was put to it, Now boys we would advise you to take this timely warning and Save any further trouble, as Mr. Johns is bound to put a stop to°it," Subscribe for the ADvocave and get the balance of the yearfree.

Take Warning It is sometimes the habit of "enter prising " persons who desire to do some cheap advertising, to stamp bank bills passing through their hands; others mark letters on them from various motives. The following section from the Banking Act should be a sufficient hint : " Every person who in any way defaces any Dominion or Provincial note, whether by writing, printing, drawing or stamping thereon, or by attaching or affixing thereto, anything in the nature or form of an advertise- ment, shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding twenty dollars," A penalty also attaches to stamping, chipping, cutting, or in any way defacing coin, another point which -is sometimes for gotten by thoughtless persons. Patrons orindnstry. The Grand Sec, of the Patrons of In- dustry of Ontario has issued an address to the county and subordinate secre- taries urging them to have taken the vote of the association respecting the adoption of prohibition as a plank in the Patron platform. Mr, Wrigley says that secretaries should report to the County Secretary and the latter to hint be -January 15th. Final act.on is to be taken at a grand association conven- tion to be held in Toronto in February. Mr. Wrigley states that he has received a letter from Mr. G, A. Danth, of Coteau Du Lac, Grand Secretary for Quebec, in which that officer says:—"We have decided to submit the question of pro- hibition to the associations at once, and we have good hope that we will sue- ceed." Private Post Cards. The Postmaster -general writes to say that in view of the somewhat widely prevalent misunderstanding as to the printing and illustration which may he placed on the address side of private postcards the Montreal post -master is nfornred that in cases in which a card not conforming to the regulations in his respect has to be taxed as a short - paid letter, he is authorized until fur her orderer to collect the simple difici- nc,v at letter rate of 2 cents instead of ouble the deficiency. No opportunity hould be lost by the postoffice of in- orming the public what the regula- ions are in regard to private postcards Nothing whatever in the way of an ad• ertisement, whether in words or by leans of designs, may appear on the ddress side, nor may the description f the business be expanded beyond hat might be a'service address on a etter. be Comity Conneil's Act. The outcome of the "double vote" ex- eriment involved in the new County ouncil's Act, which comes into force ow, will be watched with great inter st. It is confessedly an experiment, nd there are those who predict that it ill not work satisfactorily and will ave to be amended. In many of the dis ricts the double vote cannot fail to work nfairly. Some municipalities will ave an excellent opportunity of secur- ng representation by concentrating heir voting power on one man, while a arger and less favorably situated inun- ipality in regard to getting the vote ut may be disfranchised. For instance ake a district of one town or village nd two townships the advantage for ettiug the vote out in the town or vil- ge would be almost sure to disfran hise one of the two rural municipali- es. This is one feature of the new ant at will scarcely give the requisite. atisfaction to make it popular. Ji'owl Supper. The fowl supper and entertainment nder the auspices of the Ladies, Chap - r of the Trivitt Memorial Church held the Opera Hall, on Monday evening st, was an unprecedented success iu e annals of the Church. The tables irly groaned under the weight of e good things proyided for the occa- on by the ladies and from six to o'clock the large number of attend. nts was taxed to their utmost exer- on to keep the many merry guests raged iu filling the inner man. Af- r al: had clone justice to this part of e program the hall was cleared of the bies and a choice program of addresses nd music was proceeded with.
