OPTION,—Say Mr. Editor, when Local Option first came into force in Luckuow, I gave you notes telling what it did, how it was view- ed, and the effect it had on our burg. They were somewhat gloomy I admit, and a little discouraging. For three months, I have kept perfect silence upon this subject, but nevertheless, my own personal observations have ever been on the alert. While with- out doubt, it has some draw -backs, it has also some good features, which by no means should be ignored. For in- stance, alady in humble circumstance, came into the store the other day, made a good purchase, and paid the cash, stating that "since Local Option bas come we can buy more and pay for it too." Another remarked, that 'since local option "my bairns are bet- ter dressed, better fed, and our lame far 'more bonnie, ye ken." Now Sir, I simply make these statements to show that while local option has some draw -backs, it has also a lot of draw - forwards, and if it will help to clothe the naked, feed the hungry, and build up the morals of our community, per- haps the inconveniences we suffer, will not kill us completely.
