Only three years ago Mr. Bennett
wanted to abolish the sales taxa He
has since increased it from one per

Monday afternoon, September 20,
n•rn.rt'.nativn day, marked one of the
lamest (pewit,. that w. have ,ad for
-owe times. in our village. Long be-

nee, at 9 o'clock, the spacious: hall
tva: fairly packed, so match so that
teiih the crowds outside wiiu'were
i eeeeinre for admission, it, was decid-
iid to hold the rn etinit on the peve-
iit nt in front of the 'Town HIt,I1. A.
trick ryas quickly provided for the
epeake'rs to etre ak from and the
meeting was opened with Coal.Combe
in the chair, and the ueual time for
speaking and the order in which tits
speakers were to add' e'ss the meet-
ing were announced. .Apart from the
candidates the epoakers were Mr.
George Spotton, M.P., of North Hur-
on; Hon. hr. Donald Sutherland, Min-
ister of Militia, end `4••. F. Sander-
son, M.P. of Pe-th County, and they
were all teem -clod a very fair hear-
ing ansa listened to with great inter-
est as they dn'atte_1 and .spoke npon
the burning questions of the day.
A' smart rain at the closing part of
the meeting did not even dampen the
artier of the speakers or cause the
large audience to dris;ierse until the
three for • closing the speaking. This
by-election is causing very great in-
terest and gives the -ratepayers a
chance of hearing nearly all the cab-
inet speakers aril great "guns"- as
they ane often termed.
On Sunday n.orn•ine between the
hours of nine and Ien, Mr. T: C.
Joynt, one of our leading merchants,
had occasion to enter one of the
apartments of his large store, where
he discovered that thieves had paid
a nocturnal visit same time in the
early hours of the, morning. He dis-
covered aspen the floor a couple of
real old suits of clotke's including
underwear, shirts, collars, socks, etc.,
and almost at the same time he fur-
ther di.soo•aerc.d the loss, of a couple
cf. his beet men's enits, overcoats,
shirts, underwear; sock, collars and
ties. So daring and deliberate were
the thieves that they made the change
of clothing before leaving the prem-
ises and so quietly one the whole was
the ho eery made that the forcing
in of a s:'rong1y •marred door at the
rear entrance to the dry. goods and
:bees department was not really
heard, although Mr. Joynt did hear
some sounds but thought it was some
of his tenants in the upper flat that
were corning in. Not satisfied with
all the fine outfitting the rehhers
hunted around until they found in
_venal places mane small change or
