FARMS SOLD--i%ir. George Turnbull
has sold his farm, being lot 28, L,R.E.,
to his nephew, Mr. Thos. Turnbull, for
$5,100. The farm contains 120 acres,
has good buildings and is in first class
shape in every way. Mr, Turnbull
has purchased another farm of 250
acres in the county of Lambton, paying

will regret the removal of himself and
his estimable family. But what will
be Huron's loss will be Larnbton's gain.

Luean. The cause of this is evident.
The hard drunks rolled up the temper-
ance vote against liquor, as at Ailsa
Craig where prohibition had some 80
majority; while at Lucan, whose citi-
zens not knowing much about liquor,
or its evil effects refrained from voting.
Now the topers think they will die of
starvation and the other side say they
will be rolling in wealth. But wonders
will cease to be seen in this nation

a gathering was the result. However,
Mr. Allen failed to appear and it was
suggested that we have some enter-
tatumout, so as the people might not
have their journey for nothing. It was
suggested that any one who felt dis-
posed should speak their sentiments on
the question, A number were called
en, finally a young man rase and spoke
hia sentiment and was well applauded
by all. The chairman urged others to
speak; failiug to do so, he called on me.
My object was to amuse, not to enter
into prohibition much. After giving a
number of auecdotes, I thought welr to
spend a few minutes on the weakest
points of my intended discourse. Be-
fore doing so, I said, I was not desirous,
of influencing voters and am certain, I
said nothing to offend any reasonable
person and nothing I cannot prove. As
soon as I closed I was surprised to hear
the expressions that "those who voted
for prohibition or, 'yes,' voted for Gad,
those who did not s0 vote, voted for the
devil and would be in eternity cast
out" Then expressing a desire to ask
mo one or two questions, permission
granted, he wished I would stand up
before him and say if I was a Christian,
I at once complietl; then was I convert-
ed, I replied. Then he quoted the text :
" Look not on the wine wheu it is red,
or giveth its color, in the cup, or stind-
eth erect." I answered this according
to science. He made a gesture signify.
ing that he didn't believe me; that he
didn't like to hear persons not Christians
speak in public. I spoke not one word
to him .after I left the platform, but to
reply to his questious. I answered
every question he asked me as far as I
knew. I had no notion of putting one
word of the transaction of the meeting
in print, but as a report had been cir-
culated through Exeter and elsewhere,
that I was unable to answer one single
question this young man put to me, I
beg to state that this statement is ut-
terly untrue and without foundation.
There were many from the second and
third concession of Stephen present and
some from Exeter, notably, Albert Ford,
butcher. Enquire of them as to this
report. The young man probably was
not aware that he, that night broke the
laws of man, as well as the laws of God.
Out of respect to the family I withhold
the young man's name. The worst
feature of all is that report, in which
it was stated I was unable to answer
any of the questions put to me by that
young man. You are aware, Mr. Edi-
tor, that in one of my articles on this
prohibition question I stated, that if
auy one could convince me that law
was an educator I would go over to the
other side, Education has been adopted
by the prohibitionists for over 50 years
to educate up to the prohibition line. It
appears that by means of working on
the passions of the people up to the
time of the plebiscite vote a few years
ago they then, in Ontario, piled up a
majority of 81,000 in favor of prohibi-
bitten. That educative work has since
been going on until last Thursday. In
summing up the result of their educa-
tive policy, it was found that they had
educated up to the line of demarkation
between prohibition and anti-prohibi
tion with such an impetuosity, that ac-
tually 71,000 prohibitionists passed the
boundary, far into anti • prohibitionary
territory. You are right Mr. Potts,
keep up your educative system and by
two years from now every prohibitionist
will join the 71,000 wh - went over last
Thursday. C. PRouvY.
