Well that is easily explained, and it has often been -in our mind to state what it was. As far back as we can remember what the object of advertising wai, it always seemed to us that the ordinary advertisment instead of being 'reasonably readable,. --- was a lot of set phrases put to- gether and in the majority of - cases without very much regard to forth or fact. Such an advertisement is meaningless, and we shun it like a plague. Our object in every advertise- ment is to interest you and to write as Ave would talk were you in. conversation with us. We have goods to sell and we want to sell the same, and we fully realize that so long as we continue to 'have level headed men and women 10 deal with and sell to, we are compelled, whether we wculd or no, to talk rationally, and follow out that rational talk by selling honest goods at reasonable prices. We will mention a few lines that may be productive of sales : Saintlier Underclothing, 50c, 75c and • $1 a suit.

Tenders have been re- ceived for erecting concrete , abutments- to Dyer's bridge, also tenders for painting the exterior of the Court House. , 13urint the freshet, in March, the supports to , yees bridge were swept away, and the bridge fell into the stream.

The short span now there could be removed to the Dyer bridge. There is a small bridge be- tween Kinloss and West Wawanosh, known as Dickie's bridge, which will require a new superstructure this year, also a small bridge between Ashfield and Huron, which will re- quire to be rebuilt this summer.

Regarding the Manchester bridge, recommended that the span on the west end •be made 100 feet long, and the commissioner ask for tenders at once for building abutments and new iron superstructure and the front of the bridge not required be removed to Dyer's, on the with the keeper as to the most profitable way to cultivate the farm.

Reoommended the name of D. H.

T. Garrow, M. P. P. for the riding, delivered an address on "law," which showed that even this subject can be made interesting and inetruetive, although some- times very expensive. If, however, people would only observe scene of the hints -thrown out by Mr. Garrow, much of the money nOw wasted in law might be devoted to more profitable purposes The Star gives the following summary of his remarks: "Law should be taught in schools, not elaborately, but praotically. It is a useful and necessary science. It is common sense. The source of our law is the common law of England, which arose from customs as laid down since the time of William I, .and have been modified from time to time in England and Canada. It is the duty and privilege of any citizen to petition the Legislature to have bed or oppressive laws changed. Law is one thing, administration of law is quite another. "Hear -say evidence is not accepted at court. Bargains, be they ever so simple, should be in writing and signed by both parties. M1 contracts relating to land must be in writing. Standing timber and uncut grass are supposed to be part of the land on which they grow, and differ from grain craps that are cut each year. Con- tractd made by fraud should be immediately repudiated, and tlius made void. Every re- presentation mad to influence a person to buy is a warranty. The legal rate of inter- est is six per cent. After a mortgage be- comes due, no interest higher than six per cent. can be legally charged, no matter what rate is specified in the mortgage. Mortgages cannot be legally -made to ex- tend over five years. When a dispute arises as to the amount of a debt (where no writ- ten agreement has been made) the debtor should tender a just amount to the creditor, unconditionally, in the presence of & wit- ness, and not ask a reoeipt. Much money is uselessly spent in law, and much law would be raved if people paid their debts when due. When payments are made re- ceipts should be giVan, and. these receipts should be kept by the person who receives them. It is our duty to help one. another._ Never become a surety except for a person in whom you have the utmost confidence. Sureties are not liable when any other con- tracts ere made between the borrower and lender. Every surety has the right to com- pel the lender to sae the borrower of money for the amount of the debt when it bowmen due, though the surety may have to pay part of that debt himself. It is the duty of eney person, whatheryoune or old, who owns property, to make a will.
