All of the old Artemesia council will seek re-election with the exception of Mr. Boyd. Only one man has as yet an- nounced himself as a candidate for Mr. Boyd's shoes, and that is Mr. T. R.

The newly-married couple left by the 5 p.m. train to spend their honeymoon in visiiing Guelph, Ottawa, etc. They expect to return home by the now year. If we ever said anything disparaging of the Durham cement works w^e take it all back and also ap,dogizu for anything we may say in the future. Bro. Rjimasje is the latest candidate to "put up his dukes" at us. He says our iuf)rmaiit re the number of hands likely to be employed was "either a knave or a fool." Well, we do not believe our infer naiit was either of these nasty things. He was probably misinformed himself. But he says that; ma.iy people in Durham believed that our figures were correct. The Durham peopie probably know belter now, and wo will iind out in time. Both editors invito The .\dvance to g^) over and inspect the works.

As for our- selves, we have walked six miles before and can do it attain. It pinches the Owen Sound editors, however.

The great question before Canadians to- day is the tarift From one end lo the other of this broad Dominion the question of a high or low tariff is being discussed. Honest discussion is what the people of Canada want. It will be interesting to know that the Family Herald and Weekly Star of Montreal has opened its columns for a full and free discussion of this im- portant question." The leaders of both political parties are invii-ed to give their views. Farmers, manufacturers, import- ers, etc., will have an opportunity to ex- press themselves. Tlie Family Herald, being a purely non-political paper, abso- lutely independent of all political parlies or interests, is the one paper in Canada wherein such an open discussion can be Ciirried on. With the Family Herald and Weekly Star's immen.se circulation at every post office in the Dominion, this will be a splendid opportunity for the leaders of both parties to air their views on the tariff question, and the public will naturally expect to hear from them through the Family Herald and weekly Star. The discussion will be watched and read with interest. Horses Strayed. Came to the preoiises of the undersigned, lot 37,Cou. 13, .\rtomeBia. about Oct,lst.,oue horse.
