To the Editor of Ole liurom Ex7o8itor.,
I read With -ranch interest the re-
marks you made in a recent issue,
anent the prohibition ot stook running
at large on the public highways, and I
am sure that your suggestions will meet
with the hearty approval of all intelli-
gent and progressive citizens. The pub-
lic roads, no person wotild argue, were
reserved for pasturage, but for travel,
and that the people may have an in-
disputable way of access to all parts of
the country; but, air, to travel along
any of our country_roads in the summer
season, if not acquainted with ;he pre-
vailing nuisance, the traveller would be
led to believe that he was a trespasser
upon some "rancher's" premises. The
public road cannot do two eerviees pro-
perly, I might Bay three, withoutthe-oe
acting as an -impediment in sone mess
ure to the other. It cannat se.ye as
grazing field for stock, a place oij true
and a reservoir for all the sto es an
rubbish which many miserabl being
see fit to deposit there. _The th ee pur
P0308 cannot each of there. receive jus
tice, therefore two of them 'tmust be pro-
hibited, and that purpose far ich th
highway was reserved aldne flowed
How often is recorded till? a cident
resulting from unsightly o ject place
on the roadside, causing hoses to tak
fright and run away, termin ting i
serious and often fatal results. A ho
suddenly starting' out of the fence cor
ner has been the cause of many t sericu
accident. Again, stock beiog
to run at large, a farmer ia obliged t
erect the most substantial fence on hi
premises along the road 'de, or els
dwell in a feeling of insee rity where
by if stock were prohibited a temporar
fence would only be. required, whic
would be another great 'benefit in th
winter season by its removal or layin
down ou the ground, thereby lessenin
the drifts of snow.
The West Wawanosh Council, at
recent meeting, became impresSed'wit
this idea of order and progression, an
firmly resolved that such a ttate o
things had existed altogether to lon
A change must be made, and lot Wes
Wawanosh be the pioneer, the bold an
-fearless leader in this great reform; an
when municipality after municipalit
has followed our steps, how proud th
satisfaction that we shall be regarde
as the originator of the great schem
Such would be the promptings of th
spirit within those gifted -mortals. A
cordingly, a by-law was drawn up an
passedfsent to the press, and copies di
tributed throughout the township pos

the municipality, in order that all mig t

make -bold to say that a greater farce
was never written upon theminute boo
•of any municipality, or left the press
any printing office in the Country. B
inserting this exception, what refor
• has been made? None whatever. T e
farmer has no greaterfeeling of secun
from the hungry swarms whicih hale t
the highways; he- cannot plant tre s
upon the roadside (the proper place f r
them), without having them cestroye
the game as formerly. Any i tellige t
person must know there i no half w
in this reform. It must be a togeth
or not at all. Have those who own, n
land, or very little, and, consequentl ,
pay no taxes, a right -to make a pastn -
age of the roads to the annoyance an
inconvenience of the farmer who keeris
up the road a,nd pays the taxes? Cer-
tainly not. Surely our Council has et-
tered their dotage. They have pr -
claimed their fogyism and inconi-
potency to deal with any impor ant sub-
ject. Younger a.nd more pr gressi
representatives must be cbose4i by t
ratepayers. Those now in powe , thoug
long entrusted with the confi ence f
the people, will learn that ali Itheir d -
liberations will not be looked ipon 14s
"light divine," and favorably a quiesce'
in by those whom they represe t. The
will loam that this is an age of pr
gressiveness and improveme t •'th t
they were elected to deliberate for t e
public good, and not for a sel sh. fe ,
and that if too old to learn, t ey mu4t
give place to those whose sefitiments
are morein accord with the ti es.

The Fools Not all Dea4 Yet.
The Wingham Advance tell4 the fol-
lowing story of how a foolish ol
man itt that town got foolet o t of
thousand dollars by card m.ont shar -
era on circus day. The Eitory reminds
us that even in our own county of Hur-
on, andel"' the clever, progres ive towp
of Wingham, there are some fools left
yet, or at least were before eireus da, .
It says:
On Thursday, May 26, when the cia-
cus was parading the tthwn, kr. Alex,
Forgie, an old and W8 thy resident,
was sitting on the grass near Steve -

proached by a well-dressed Strange,
who introduced himself eA3 a Mereharit
from London, Ont., and stated that he
wished to buy a farm oifrom 200 to
250 acres in this neighborhood. M.
Forgie told him he did not know where
he could obtain that much in a block,
but mentioned two or three hundred
acres that were for sale; althbugh n t
joining each other. The stranger the
asked Mr. Forgie to walk with him to
the show grounds. At first he objected,
but at last consented, a.nd on t eir arri-
