term their accounts these two factors lurehavuiga depressing influence ou efcosmess prioes for barley and wheat are low but the crops in this district re larger than usual in view of the large harvest the world over it isvcry doubtful if prices will get any higher the tendency is ratlicr in the other direction the facx is production of foodstuffs has got far ah6chethc regu lar demand for consumption and low prices comparatively are likely to prevail for some years to come unless something unusual happens or there is crop failure nearly the jrhole world over american and english agricultural papers are gravely discussing the value g wheat as feed for animal- and arealvisinrr its use at present low prices this is a significant indication that they do not lojak for any marked -d- vifcce from present figures farmers therefore who are holding for a raise will find that in the general opinion of the best judges the prjpects of higher rates are gloomy in he eitremc those who have debts or accounts to pay should certainly soil with them there elkhildnot be two points to consider bui- ness men in towns and ullages need money to cany on their aftairs and this is the time when they shouid get the funds in abundance the practice of rendering ac- csunts oftener than ouce a year should be come a general rule it is s good plan to send oat accounts sav on the 1st of october penditure of money in keeping up fences caretaking aud improving nineteen acroi of land much of it of the roughest kind and s considerable portion utterly useless it would bo far better to pay tiia full amount asked for half or even one third the quan tity of land all of wluch could be used th4i have useless and expensive tract of unoccupied wilderness land the greater portion of which would not be used for generations to come if somewhere about an acre has answered the purpose for the past forty five or fifty years and not half filled yet notwithstanding freeholder sii or eight acres of proper ground would ic sufficient until tbe uaraes of the present generation were forgotten and it could be kept neatly on a fraction of the cost of keeping that uncouth uncultivated and expensive place on which some members of the council uufcrtanately sacm to have eet their hearts the reasons publicly rumored for the choice will not here be mentioned it could not be on account of either utility or beauty onoe more let tbe people be very cautious and look well before them and scan closely every proposal to increase the indebtedness of the village specially let the owners ot medium aud small properties beware for we have it on good authority that the mat ter of building an additional school room which it is said will cost well up to if not over two thousand dullars has been defer red for one year only to give the cemetery bylaw a better chance of being carried remember also than yon cannot by a few strokes of tbe pen exempt yourselves from the payment of the debt as your wealthy neighbors can but you will pay the utter most farthing much more might and ought to be said on the question but as this article is already too long for one issue we will close scescamna acton oct 22nd lfc4 majority for whiskey the scott act defeated in peel by aboa two hundred it is with not a little regret that we have to announce the defeat of the scott act in peel last thursday by a majority of 19 tve had hoped for the sake of those adictod to drink in the south eastern portion of our own county as well asjf or the benefit mor ally aud financially of the people of peel kself that the act would carry there but for tome cause cr other matters have turn- iothit pivtsti msybennde dcrlng octo- iii otherwise however there is no room for discouragement this is the ber from the uqw grain crop whentheo account srelfcft tilljanuary they are not paid till february or jlsxch and perhaps longer a far better plan is to render- arid collect accounts in october and to iniet upon payment what right have people to let their accounts of three six or eight pantos standing go unpaid now when they have big crops in their barns and in many cases money in the bank said an old and experienced business man to us the other day he was determined for one on gn- eralbusmess principles to press collections now and not let the accounts remain out until midwinter merchants generally should adopt this plan and it would be more satisfactory all round it woald be better for tbe purchaser in the loa run we comtrend these suggestions which have been gathered from conversation with several of our principal business men to the attention of merchants farmers and all others interested notes and comments the local legislature will it is under stood be called together for tbe transaction of business on january 27th ac association composed of leading citizens hs been formed in toronto for the abolition of tar exemptions senator vidal informs the ottawa ce respondent of the ifontreal dally

kpiwithstanding the repeat- ed rejection by the freeholders of our village of the councils chosen plot for a cemetery at public meetings and at the polls yet a bare majority of the council seem determined io have it their own way they appear to think that by continual corning to the people with their scheme they will weary them into submission to and adoption of the bylaw to put one thousand five hundred of their money into the councils hand for the purpose of por- chagjggand paying for the same plot of ground which a short time ago they by a majority rejected at the polls sow such a coarse on the part of the council is both unwise and expensive when the council submitted the question to the decision o the people they shoald according to common law of procedure in such cases have accept ed the award especially as the scheme was rejected on accoonnfc of the utterly unsuit able character of the ground in its present state and the enormous cost that most necessarily be incurred fh improving and fencing ground twicecr three times the size required and a large portion of which is and erer will be utterly useless for burying ground it was clearly the duty of the council to sabmit to tb decision tfien given and iootoui for anotherpuce which at that time could be easily obtained as grounds were offered which were and no doubt would be acceptable but as the council have determined otherwise it ia well for the people io consider the case in ail its bearings before committing them selves to a scheme which owing to the extent and character of the grbond must and will certainly be a scarce cf urge ex- first defeat the scott acts supporters have met in three and a half years and many victories are yet in store for them before the present year closes a remarkable feature in connection with the vote in peel was that bramptnn the only town of any importance in the county gave a majority of 23 in favor of the act four municipalities went in favor of the act and the same number against it there have now been forty seven scott act contests forty oi which have been victoriesfor the vet there have been no repeals this should afford a remarkable index of the
