The small- pox is little heard of now, hut there is much suffering among the poor people, through their inability to get work. Provisions are high and comfortable lodgings are not available to those with little money Our hotels are veritable saloons— not for public accommodation but for "guzzling" rum. The working man is looked upon as an animal or a piece of machinery—has, little voice and less sympathy with the 30 cent work shop owners, who seem to live off their help instead of the profits of their products. The Jackson Mfg. Co. has moved into its new building on West St. and will have "steam up" in course of a few days. The building was designed especially for the company it is one story with baser). ent, hav- ing modern machinery and is light.; ed by electricity. The equipment will accommodate 100 employes -- girls. The company has also a factory at Clinton. Boys' clothing will be the main manufacture. Goderieh is noted for its pre- dominance of young women. It is estimated that there are eight young girls to one young man in town. These young girls work for very small wages, and as a result the young man, when he has at- tained some knowledge of his work leaves for pastures new, never to return except in the way of a visit. The writer in conversation with a native son who returned after an absence of 40 years elicited the fact that he had just met his once juv- enile sweetheart, whe was gray, baldheaded and toothless, but who reminded hire of the rustic seat be- neath the "Old Apple Tree. It is to be regretted that the hockey match between Goderieh and Clinton, resulted as it did. The people of Goderieh love manly sport and feel this mishap very keenly. The election of Robert McLean to the 'position of Warden of the county is greeted here with much satisfaction. By the recount of votes in the majority contest the orignial count was reversed giving Robert Thom- pson the seat instead of Dr. Mack - ]in. The severe weather has prevent- ed work on the breakwater. Stop that tickling Cough ! Dr Shoop's Cough Caro will surely stop it, and with perfect safety. It is so thoroughly harmless, that Dr Shoop tells mothers to use nothing else even with very young babies. The wholesome green leav- es and tender stores of a lung heal- ing mountainous shrub furnish the curative properties to .Dr Shoop's cough cure. It calms the cough, and heals the sensitive bronchial membranes. No opium, no chloro- form, nothing harsh usecl to injure or suppress. Demand Dr Shoop's. Take no other. Sold by All Dealers.

Wilber Phillips of Toronto is visiting his parents and other friends in this vicinity. Two rinks of local curlers visit- ed Parkhill last week, Quarterly meeting services were held in the Methodist church on Sunday. The service was well attended. The first senior hockey game of the season was • played`on•'Hensitll rink on Tuesday night between the Exeter boys and our own. The score being 13-1 in favor of Hensel', in the first half Martin of Exeter had his wrist sprained. In the sec- ond half Exeter put a new man in goal or the score for Hensall would have been away up in the twenties. The visitors had a very discourag- ing time all through as Uthey wer out played on every hand. The Hensall line-up. ,A..

A very pretty wedding was 'sol-• emnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Dodman, ou Wednes- day Jan. 20th at 4 p. m. when their only daughter Mary, was united in marriage to Mr. Ill Couch of Chiselilurst, by the Rev. Mr. Hart of Eiensall. The bride entered the parlor which was tastefully decorated in green and white leaning on the arm of her father, to thetrains of Mendel- sohn's Wedding March played by Mrs. Maurice Brenner of.. Grand Send. The bride looked very pret ty in a gown of pearl grey silk trimmed with lace and applique and carried a bouquet of white carnations and 'meinths. The bride was assisted by Miss Alderson of London, and. the groom by his brother Mr. James Couch. After the cerernony about forty guests partook of the dainty wedding supper. The many beautiful pre- sents testifiedto the esteem in which the young couple were hold by their many friends. In the evening a large number of young people ia.ssernbled and "tripped to the light frantastio toe until the wee, small hours of the morning," when they c1i.5nteeed after wishing the bride and grbotu a life of health and happiness in their new home. .

Dirstein's Stand Opp. Commercial Hotel To Tho E•1ectora of South Huron : Gentlemen ---Now that the smoke of the recent battle has cleared away, 1 deem it my duty to tender you my sincere and heartfelt thanks for the confidence you have reposed in me by electing me as your representative in the Do- minion Parliament by so handsome a majority. I shall ever endeavor to the best of my ability and in my 'best judgment to prove worthy of tbe trust. I am not vain enough to take to myself any special credit for the result achieved. That result is due very largely, if not wholly, to the noble band of workers I had at my back and who so ungrudgingly and unsparingly spent themselves in behalf of the good cause. To the President and Secretary of the Rid- ing Association, the chairmen of the various municipalities and the local working committees I do ten- der my most hearty thanks. They did their several parts more than well. The Liberal party of South Huron are also under great ob- ligations to Mr 1?. U Inwood, the. Provincial Organizer, who is tbe right man in the right place ; the members of the Government, mem- bers of Parliament and others from outside who rendered such splendid assistance. I would, also, be ungrateful in. deed, diel l fail to acknowledge the assistance received from Conserva- tive friends who, for purely person- al reasons, gave rue their support I feel myself under a special debt of gratitude to then]. While 1 shall always prove true to niy party and my principles, in my representative capacity t shall consider myself the servant of the whole people and if I can at any time do a legitimate service for a Conservative constituent, whether he may have voted for or against me, it will be a great pleasure for me to be at his command..' . Judging from the' hundreds of letters and telegrams of congratul- ation received, and covering the distance from Manitoba to Quebec, the South Huron election created much more wide spread interest than I had ever supposed. .As it will be impossible for me to answer each one separately, I desire in this method, on behalf of the Liberals of South Huron, to return them my sincere thanks for their goob wish- es and congratulations. 1 hope as soon after the close of each session as practicable, to visit the various leading centres of the constituency, give an account of my stewardship and receive from the people suggestions and hints:as to the legislation they deem most desirable in their own and in the public interests and when I hope a- gain to meet with many of my friends personally.

A plan must be submitted y the Qovernment or by, a joint ommittee of .Parliament. In the eantime the discussions in the enate and in the Commons • and b.roughout the country show that he Senate as now constituted does of fulfil the functions which it as intended by the founders of he eonetitution that it should dis- haarge. It is not a revising body n so far as Government measures re concerned. It seldom cots am a chuck on hasty legislation.

C. T. U. THE LOCAL OPTION CAMPAIGN IN ONTARIO, The campaign was very hot. Every energy of the liquor trade seemed to spend itself in tbe con- flict. In some places hell moved itself from beneath to defeat us, but we thank the God of Battles for glorious victory. The latest returns at the time of writing show that we carried the by-law in 30 municipalities, cut- ting off 00 licenses ; that we failed to carry it, owing to the three- fifths requirement, in 27 municipa- lities, in which 83 licenses are do- ing their destructive work. We were defeated by a majority of the electors in only 22 municipalities, in which 70 licenses operate. We do not propose at the time to attempt to set forth the full signi- ficance of these facts and figures. That will be done before long by a committee appointed by the Exe- cutive of the General Board of Temperance and Moral Reform. For tbe present we merely em- phasize the outrage which is being perpetrated upon the temperance people of the province of Ontario by requiring them to obtain 60 favorable votet oat of every 100 cast in order to outlaw the bar. The figures show that the unjust requirement retained more bars than the liquor interest were ,able to hold where we were defeated under a fair majority vote. Seven= ty licenses were held on a simple majority, but 83 were retained be- cause we have been unjustly com- pelled to be "hewers of wood and drawers of water" to the liquor interest; to sweat and toil for nothing that it may be protected. In some parts of the country, where we fairly defeated them, they had not the decency to . take their de- feat quietly, but gloated over it as if it were a victory. In 'a muuici- pality, which we know well, and where in former days they blew up our parsonage with dynamite, and girdled and killed the fruit trees of our relatives, they had a great jamboree of a celebration on Mon- day night. and wont so far as to tie crape to the doors of our tem- perance workers. We are always ready for the fortunes of war, but we do not admire a law that makes that sort of thing possible. Many facts connected with the campaign reveal theineed of a great revival of true religion on our cir- cuits. It happened in a municipal- ity, whose population is largely composed of Methodists, that a Grit tavern -keeper turned Tory during a recent 'by-election. He is credited with working vigorously and distributing liquor lavishly in support of the Tory candidate who was elected. What happened then? To all appearance, many Conser- vatives gulped down their con- sciences, condoned his whiskey business and political corruption, and voted against local option to reward this the only liquor -seller in the municipality, for his services to the party. This is the sort of thing that throws a lurid light up- on the professions of religion which. some of our people make. We need to dig deeper and build char- acter on a more sure sure and solid rock. The result of the contests was very gratifying Seven were fought. . We won in six. The lost one en- tailed a change of only seven votes but in the six we gained we in- creased our majorities in the ag- gregate by more than 800. We are glad to ]know that Premier Whitny is pleased with- the fact that we were so successful in holding our own. • Perhaps he will now see the uselessness of the three-fifths clause, inasmuch as all these places were carried in the first in - name by simple majorities, and might have been repealed upon the same principle. The temperance people do not need the three-fifths ; they to not want it; they protest satinet it, and will never submit to It' and their is trouble Shead for any party that imposes enoh.a handicap upon a liberty. loving . and democratic People.
