In another column of this week’s Gazette there is published a letter re- ceived by Mr. J .S. Northey from Mr. Tudhope of Orillia.

Hunter of Barrie, made at a public._meeting in Orillia at which seventeen solid citizens spoke in favor of Local Option. The Gazette and other papers. .inthe district have been publishing each week for some time past the opinions of prominent and reliable" residents of local option towns to the sheet that the law has not merely not injured, but has posi- tively helped, business in these places, and" has had other beneficial results. Mr. J. D. Flavelle, who spoke at a meeting ‘at' Fenelon Falls last week, is working energetically for local Op- tion.

The advertise- ments issued and paid for by the Brewers and Malters Association are nothing but bald assertions. This Association is interested in selling liquor, but is opposing local option because under local Optionliquor would be sold (as they assert).

' If the taxation and revenue objec- tions raised by anti-optionists were sound, it would mean that the total abstainers are undesirable citizens, at least as far as the finances of the town are concerned. . Ifâ€"the abstainers could be persuaded to patronize the bars, the hotelmen could afford to pay higher licenses, and the town would prosper proportionately. It is quite clear that if men do not spend their money fer liquor, they will have it spend for other things. They would be far better off to pay the money to the tax collector directly rather than indirectly over the bar. Vote for local option.

The cli- mate andsoil are unequalled on this continent. Markets have never been fully supplied with strictly high grade fruit, and are demanding larger quan- tities each year. To those who are looking for a more profitable line, we earnestly recommend a study of the fruit situation. The best informed and most expert fruit men in the province will be assembled at the On- tario Agricultural College at Guelph for the special course in fruit growing which commences on January 25th and ends on February 4th. Anybody who is interested cannot afford to miss the wealth of practical knowledge and up-to-date information which will be presented at that time. short course will be of great value to those engaged in fruit growing or contemplating going into the business. w a levelâ€"headsdrbusiness'man.'

Magee of Toronto, Field Secretary of Social and Moral Reform, addressed a meeting in Dickson’s hall. Both speakâ€" ers made telling addresses, and were listened to with marked attention by the large audience. The success. of local option in towns where it has been in force was made the chief plea for the adoption of the law here. Mr. Magee also emphasized the fact that the local optionists are fighting the system, not the men engaged in the business. ' ’ Tonight (Thursday) a meeting is in progress. It is expected that next Thursday speakers from Lake-field, Midland, and Omemee will be here. Personal. ' 'Mr. and Mrs. A. A.
