There were about 400 head of brit -

fend at the east end abbatoir. The
hoteliers were out in full force,bnt were
not in a hurry to buy as the ideas of
the drovers were much higher than 'on
last Thursday. Prices on the 'whole
were rather lower than on last Monday
but considerably higher than on Tburs,
day. Tha best beeves sold at about 42o
per lb, though some were held at So.
Pretty good stock sold at from 3o to
Oto per lb, common"dry cows and milk-
men's strippers at from 8o to 4io, and
large bulls at from 3Io to Ble. The
calves offered on thie market were of
rather' indifferent quality and sales
were generally at from 03 to 05 each,
with a few that sold up to near 08.
Sheep sell in lots at about Oto per lb.
Fat hogs are in goad supply and sell at
from 4,}o to 4to per lb.
A
Wordto the Farmers.
The manufacturer who puts up the
election boodle for Sir John' has grown
rich owing to the Tari having been made
to suit him, This is true. The farmer
has been growing poorer from day to day,
but the Conservative Government has dmie
nothing. for him except tax him. How
long shall this last ? While the gentlemen
of the Red Parlor have been growing rich-
erfrom;day to day, the farmer has
been going from bad to worse, until
now he can hardly live on his farm and
pay his way.
The mortgage and •Loan Companies and
the Taxes on the Goods you have to buy
just about swallow up all you can take off
your farms. ''then what is the remedy ?
Free admission to the markets of the Unit-
ed States will give the farmera better mar-
ket for what he has to sell, and also enable
him to buy mang supplies cheaper than
they -can- be got now: Reciprocity will
benefit the farmer, the villager, the work-
ing man and all the industrial classes.

CONCERT.—The concert by the R
T of T in the Presbyterian church, on
the 18th, was a success. Singing,
reciting and epeaking were of a
high order. Rev Mr Simpson, of
Brucefield, had two weddings that
evening, and could not come. Edit-
or Holmes, of Clinton, could not
leave the watch tower, where he
Juarde the Liberal party from Sir
ohn A's devices, hence he could
dot come. [This is incorrect, it was
,t„vork even more important than
political that kept him away—Ed.]
However, Rev S Acheson gave a
rousing speech, and the program was
sufficiently long without any more ad-
dresses. The Templets are doing
good work in rescuing the young
and aid the churches greatly in moral
work. The people of Africa would
be surprised if they knew that we
et pported two churches and a Tem-
perance council to make happy and
safe homes, and one barroom to un-
do all the good done. So it is here.

Her fend was peace. Mr and Mrs

The funeral on the following Wed-
nesday was largely attended.
CONCERT.—The sacred concert
under the auspices of the Kippin
Council of R. T. of T., on the evening
of Feb. 18th, was well attended. Al-
though several of the speakers ex-
pected were unavoidably absent, an
excellent program was rendered:
The opening hymn, "All hail the
power of Jesus name," was sung by
the audience, after which" Rev H.
Irvine led in prayer. The Jameson
Quartette Club, of Brucefield render-
ed several' selectionsof sacred music
in their usual good style. The duets
by Messrs Stoneman and Brown; of
Hensel', were well received. The
Solos by Mies PorterfieId,of Belgrave,
were heartily encored. Miss Porter-
field has a fine voice and will no
doubt ere long rank as one of the
leading soprano singers of the Prov-
ince. It is needless to make any
comment on the singing of Mr Oakes,
who sustained his reputation as one
of the leading voca lists of the day.
The speakers were Revds H. Irvine
Hensall, and S. Acheson, Kippen,
The address by the latter on "Why
we should sign the pledge" was brim-
fnll of reasons which could not be re-
futed. Probably the moat entertain -
ng part of tho pragram wart the reel -
Rations given by the three little girls
from 'Jewell, Mies Florrie Hughes
and the Misses McLean, who all bid
fair to making their mark as elocu-
tioniete. The recitations by Mise M.
McMordie were also well received.
Mr F. H, Riley S. C. discharged
the duties of Chairman in a very
efficient -manner. The proceeds for
the evening amounted to $27.40. At
the closes those who assisted in the
pro gram and members of theCouncil
repaired to the home of Mr JasMoore
where refreshments prepared by the
ladies, were served.

FARMERS.
The time was when you were growing
richer even whileyou slept, for your crop
was growing and producing a fair mar
gin of profit, and your farms were in-
creasing in value day by day. In that
day the boys did not flee to the States, and
leave the old people to struggle with the
heavy, grinding mortgage debt, and prices
for farm produce that will not pay the
price of raising.
In that day fathers and mothers were
happy, for farming paid fairly well, and
the old man and yule strove to buy farms
close by the old homestead, for all the
boys, and the old folks were happy and
comfortable travelling ileum the 'valley of
ife, because their children were around
them
To -day what is the picture ?—Just this :
—The hearts of the fathers and mothers
are smote by seeing their "boys" leave
them for the States, and it is a cruel
mockery to ask the old people to cheer for
the Conservative party, whose policy has
driven them over the border.
FARMERS, the Conservative party
cannot, and will not, do anything for you,
as evidenced by their policy during the last
twelve years. The monopolist mansfac-
Curers, and all the .favored ones, who are
growing wealthy al your expense, will not
allow them to consider you and your hard
fate of labor and no profit. The Reform
party will, by their policy, add immensely
to the ,value of all you grow and ship to
the United States.
The Reform party and unrestricted re-
ciprocity will give you a fair field and
chance for the return of the! "Good Old
times."
