The delay in the construction of this bridge was a great inconvenience to the pub- lic, and a detriment to our town. There Was A Reply. The Liberal papers of the County have published M. G. Cameron's letter to Dudley Holmes, asking for joint meetings, and, have stated that no re- ply was sent. This is a mistake; a reply was sent, though on Account of Mr. Holmes' absence, it was delayed, Mr. Cameron, through the Goderich Signal, has acknowledged receiving the reply. For several reasons, Mr. Holmes could not possibly arrange for joint meetings, but a courteous reply was sent to the Liberal candidate's letter. $1,00 PER *YEAR IN ADVANCE NOTE AND COMMENT. —In a recent speech, G.

We bope Mr. Davis will find Wing - ham as a business place quite equal to his expectations, and he doubtless will. Honey In The Home. Honey is a valuable medicine and has many uses. It is excellent in most lung and throat affections and is often used with great benefit in place of cod liver oil. Occasionally there is a person with whom it does not agree, but most people can learn to use it with beneficial' results. Children who have natural appetites generally pre- fer it to butter. Honey is a laxative and sedative, and in diseases of the bladder and kidneys it is an excellent remedy. We are positively. clearing Dress Goods and Men's Suits and Overcoats.

But,—"while the lamp holds mit to burn," etc., and East Huron has at last turned from the error of her ways and with her sisters, the West and South, she now stands in the Conservative ranks. Died In Hamilton. The following from a Hamilton paper has reference to the death of a lady for many years a resident of Brussels, and who was well known to many Winghamites :— "Mrs. Mary Creighton, mother of E. B. Creighton, yardmaster of the T. H. & B., died at her son's residence, 91 Napier street, on Sunday last. The deceased lady was 00 years of age, and a resident of Brussels. She had been ill for a week frem pneumonia." _Interment took plate in Brussels on Wednesday. Kincardine Shut Out. A ' good crowd turned out last Thursday evening to see the exhibi- tion game of holey. between Kincar- dine team and the locals. The visitors were never dangerous, while the home boys showed great improve- ment since the last game. All our boys played good, fast, clean hockey, 25 cents, but they hope this will not but Galloway, Fleming and Elliott. cause the attendance' to decrease. They want to win the trophy, which is a Silver Cup valued at $50, and they are making a good start in the race for it. • Passed Their Birthdays.

Mr. Raley then gave an interesting address on the work he has specially in hand. A solo by Miss Campbell and a duet by Miss Uoinuth and Frank Hill added to the interest of the evening.

Pringle & Groves are paying the highest cash_ price for Hides, Skins, Tallow and Wool, at Chapman's old stand. Result Known Later. With the approach of the election, there appears the usual "forecasts," "predictions" and of course "bets." Conservative organizers are looking for a majority of fifteen for Mr. Whit- ney, ancl„ Beattie' Nesbitt of Toronto cannot conceive of it dropping below nine. On the other hand, G. W. Ross expresses confidence in his return with a working majority and some of his supporters aim at the twenty ma- jority mark. The Toronto News is perhaps as near the mark as anyone in the forecast business, and it says— "It is impossible that the Government can obtain a majority, therefore it is important that Mr. Whituey's victory be decisive." The Advance is not in this forecasting business; it is too un- certain, but as we see it, Mr. Whit- ney's chances are the brightest, and the interests of the province would be best served by his suocess with a good working majority. It is time for for a change. May Be Terminus. just before going to press, the Ad- vance haul a call from Rev. G, Raley, missionary to the Indians at Kite - mad, B. 0. Sir. Raley is very strong- ly of the opinion that leitamaat will be the terminus of the Grand Trunk Pacific R'y. It has a very fine ocean inlet, three miles long and over a mile wide, terminating in a very large, deep water, inland bay, affording safe anchorage for large ocean vessels. Besides, it has other advantages over Port Simpson as a terminus, At the latter place, Americans (by the boon. dory award) own two large islands, and Canadians would be dependent on them for lighthouse &elates.

A Conservative paper could scarcely say anything stronger, —The Ontario statistics for the last three years with regard to tuberculo- sis are encouraging, showing as they do the possibility of reducing the in- roads of that disease in Canada. There were 3,243 deaths reported in 1001: 2,694 in 1902, and only 2,072 in 1903, Fresh. air, favorable climatic condi- tions,. good food, and rest, are the principal curative influences which have brought about this result.

In this respect he resembles Mr. Stratton, who said to the Globe reporter, "Can't you forget some of those things r If he perseveres in the "forget" habit he may become as expert as Hon. Davis, who contributed a large suna to the election fund, but declared on oath he could not remember to whom he gave it. Is it not sad to see men in such high.positions becoming champion twisters and wrigglers, when truth and honesty should be the characteris- tics of public men. —In East Huron, Mr. Jas. Bowman is making an industrious and success- ful canvass of the electors, and is meeting with much encouragement. The ex -member, A. Hislop, appears to be badly scared, and is canvassing as he never did before. Re fears that even his large majority of 405, in a Grit hive, will not save him, in the face of the record of the Ross Govern- ment fox. the past six years. In Mr. Bowman, the farmers of East Huron have a splendid candidate, an indus- trious tiller of the soil, a man of excel- lent character, well informed on the issues of the day, and able to express his thoughts in an intelligent and in- telligible manner. East Huron elec- tors should cast their ballots for Mr. Botvman, and assist in bringing the Ross regime of corruption and dis- grace to an end. Many East Huron Liberals have decided to do so already. In West Huron, Major Dudley Holmes is making an energetic. faith- ful canvass as far as possible of the whole riding. For a ridingthe size of i West Huron, this means n addition to perfecting his organization, no small amount of travel and work. As a young man, he is well known in Huron county, and has the happy faculty of remembering names as well as faces. He bears a good. reputation, and no elector looking for a clean can- didate for whom to vote, eau make a mistake ia marking his ballot for Dudley Holmes. Besides, as vote for Mr. Holmes will carry with it disap- proval of the carnival of corruption shown in West Elgin, North Water- loo, South Oxford, the "five Worths," the Soo, the Minnie M. trip, and other similar records of the Ross regime, that have disgraced Ontario during the past six years. A vote for Mr. Holmes will be a, protest against the nefarious lot of heelers'such as Cap.
