The annual meriting of East Huron Liberal Association will be held at Brussels, on Friday, neo. 16. Mr. Mac. donald, M. P., Mr. A. Ilislop, M. P. P. and others are elepected to address the gathering. Seaforth. The of ioerri and members of Brit !, annia Lodge A. F. and A. M., issued in- vitations for their second informal At Home which was held in the lodge room on Tuesday, Nov. 29th. On the corner of the invitation is the inscription "Bring your Pipe and Tobacco, " Those who were present last year looked for- ward and not in vain toanother pleasant gathering of the brethren and an even, ing spent with the never failing source of pleasure to the smoker, namely, ' the pipe." Smokers seem to be the rage as amusements for the nausouline sex at present. The Beaver lacrosse club held their second one in the town hall Friday evening . If possible every one given by this club increases their popu- larity among those gentlemen in our town who enjoy a quiet game of cards accompanied by firet.class tobacco in its various forms. Mrs. Jas. Watson and children are visiting at Mrs. Watson's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leslie, of Clinton. The gentlemen of our town who were on hunting expeditions in northern Ontario have all returned. Margaret Johnston, wife of Mr. Mur - (loch Cowbell, of this town, has passed over to the silent majority. Although not entirely unexpected, Mrs. Camp- bell's death was a particularly sad one. About two years ago she had an attack of la grippe, but, apart from a slight cough, was in good health until about four weeks previous to her death. On that day she was out doing some shopps ing, and had reached the residence of Mr. George Sills on the way home when she was taken with a hemorrhage and had to be carried home. From that time she gradually grew weaker until death relieved her of her sufferings. Mrs. Campbell was aged 62 years and 7 months. She was born ib the county of Armanagh, Ireland, and with her parents emigrated to this country in 1854, settling in l\ orris township in this county. In 1883 she was married to her now bereft husband, the ceremony having been performed in Clinton by r g Y Rev. Dr. McDonald, of this town who was then pastor of the Presbyterian church in Clinton. Besides her hus• band, she leaves a family of six sons and one daughter to monrn the loos of a true helpmate and loving mother. Brussels. J. T. Jones shipped a car of dressed poultry a few days ago. He has paid out about 62,500 for poultry here. This is a big item of income for the farmers in this neighborhood and it is some- thing that could be largely increased. Two things should be kept in mind by those engaged in raising poultry for the market. First to keep the best breeds, they don't cost any more to keep, usually less than poorer kinds, and then to have them well -fattened before selling. By paying more at- tention to these two points this busi- ness can be increased to an almost un- limited extent. W. F. Stewart got in two oars of corn and R. Rose one last week. There seems to be a good deal of corn fed at present and at the market quotation of corn and peas it should pay to feed corn and sell the peas. Pork packers are raising a warning voice against this, however, as it is claimed that corn -fed bacon will not suit the English market, where our choice bacon at present goes. There is a danger that in trying to make more money a good market may be spoiled. The death is announced at Belfast, Ireland, of Rev. Dr. Kane, rector .of Christ church and Grand Master of the Belfast Orangemen. The rev. gentles man made a tour of Canada at the time the Home Rule agitation was hot in Ireland. Robert Ross of British Columbia is spending a few days with friends here. He hasbeen employed as engineer on fi e d P Y 8 a river boat in Northern British Colum- bia for the past summer. Ile intends taking a trip to Scotland before return- ing to the West. The Saturday Utica Globe gives a portrait of T. McGillicuddy, a former townsman, and the following sketch of his life :—Thomas McGilliouddy of To- ronto, who was recently elected presi- dent of the Provincial Sabbath School Association at the 23rd annual meeting of that body at Peterboro', was born in Ileland November 5th, 1854, at the foot of•the ancestral hills known as the Mo- Gillicuddy's Reeks, and is the sonof a Crimean veteran who won the dis- tinguished bonduot medal at Inkerman. Our subject name to this country with his parents when quite a small child. He learned the printing business and has run the gamut from printer's devil to editor and publisher ;having in cons junction with his brother, D. McGilli- oudd thepresent editor of the Gode- rich Signal, onducted several live and up -to' -date papers. Some 11 years ago our subject was appointed to an im- portant position in the department of agriculture at Toronto. Lucknow. This year Xmas Day falls on Sunday and will be observed on the following Monday. Section 112 of the Munici- pal Act enacts that when nomination day (the last Monday in December) happens to fall on Xmas 'day, nomin- ations shall take place on the preced- ing Friday, so that next year municipal nominations will be held on Friday, but this year they will be held on Monday, Xmas day. A meeting of the citizens and rates payers of the village was held in the town hall on Wednesday evening, November 29th, at 8 o'clock, when the advisability of giving an extension of the furniture factory loan to Messrs. Button & Trevett was diecussed. The Public Library has been removed to the counoil chamber of the town hall and will be open to the public three days a week, Tuesdays, Thurs- days and Saturdays. The library will also be kept open Saturday evenings till nine p. m. The new librarian is Mr. Robert Graham. Mr. John Spindler of Ashfield has purohaaod the "Burnside Farm," near Paramount, from Mrs. Wm. Murdoob, who intends becoming a resident of Luoknow. Jacob Miller, contractor, has bought the Alex. McKenzie farm, north half of lot 74, 1st con,, Kinloss, three miles from the village of Luoknow. Mr. Douglas superintendent of the Banff' National Park, suggests that the size of the park should be increased by taking in the watershed of the Bow river. The extension would be used as a game preserve and would be under the park management.

A Goderich Township Defender of Michigan To the Editor of THE NEWS -RECORD. Sirs In a recent issue of your con- temporary I noticed that a certain gentleman who had been on a visit to Senlao county, Michigan, says he saw nothing but log buildings and not a bank barn. Now, I hive been in that county and can state that such is not the case. I could name many owners of good farms and buildings, but will content myself with a few who will be known by many residents of Huron county. Mr. David Welsh, brother of Mr. Robert Welsh of Clinton, has a neat frame dwelling and a good bank barn,while Mr. Johnston, a brother•in% law, is almost equally well equipped. Mr. Graham, brother of Mr. James Gra- ham of this township, has a comforts able dwelling and a commodious bank barn, and Wesley and Peter Cole have both fine frame dwellings and out- buildings. Upon the latter's farm there is a nosy Baptist church and also a school house and the Methodists this past summer erected a church that would be a credit to any community. My principal object in drawing atten- tion to the prosperity of Senlao county is because so many of our old friends and relatives have settled there. Of course we would sooner have them here, but as it is we are glad to know that they are doing well. ONE Wno WAS THERE.

Christmas was first oelebrated in the year 98, but -it was forty years later be- fore it was officially adopted as a Christian festival ; nor was it until about the fifth century that the day of its celebration became permanently fixed on the twenty-fifth of December. Up to that time it bad been irregularly observed at various Ones of the year --in December, in April and in May, but most frequently in January.—Deoember Ladies' Home Journal. A. SURE CURE FOR CONSUMPTION There is no such thing. Scott's Emul. sion comes the nearest to it, but even that will not cure advanced cases, but taken in time it will cure th is aleo. t America and England in China. The recent collapse of China has opened up one of tbegreatest questions of our time. Is this vast country, with untold mineral and other resources, end with a population of four hundred millions of frugal, industrious people, to be partitioned among European nations 7 Ie the greatest potential market of the world to be permanently closed to general trade, or is it to re- main open, with its incaloulable possi- bilities, to all nations on equal terms ? The interest of the United States in the • decision is the same as that of Great Britain. If it should ever be necessary to enter into negotiations, in order to secure to all the world an equal oppor- tunity in regard to this eommeree It oan not be doubted that they would be infinitely more Influential if banked by the joint aotion of the United States and Great Britain, than 0 either of these Powers held aloof.—Prom "Re• cent Developments in the United States,” by the 111.
