The twenty uventh Annml Meet in. of the South Grey Teacher” a was halo in Xukdnlo on Thundty and Priduy a! last wook. The Federal elections are now on, ”nominations to take place on the 21th inst. and voting on the 3rd of November. The guessing season is pastsofar as the date is concerned. and the candidates know for certain how long they have to work. The aspirants on both sides have been go- ing round amongst the people. but so far no public meetings have been held. After all. the house to house canvas seems to be more etlectual than the public meeting system in securing votes. but good rousing meetings dol much towards educating the public onthe political questions of the day. The Laurier government struck this country at the close of the last depres- sion period. and the advent of better times the world over gave them an impetus apparently. for which the present Liberal Government has little right to take the credit. Time and again the Liberal party has been challenged to\ point out any great pnigressive measure growing out of their administration. and just fis often they have failed in a satisfac- tory answer. On what ground any Liberal neWspaper can hold up the present administration as “the best that Canada ever had " is hard to con- ceive. The party press is given to boasting. and too often without any consideration for the first principles of truth. The public debt is increasing and in view of the Grand Trunk Pa- cific another hundred and fifty million will be saddled on the Dominion. The cries against extravagance during the Conservative administration. and the futility of pre-election promises of a big reduction stamps the present gov- mment as insincere in their utter- ances. lacking in their judgment or incompetent in their performances. 0f the various promised policies of the prty every one has vanished into thin air. and the Liberals today are working on the old policy of 1878 in- angurated by the late Sir John Mac- douald and used as the Conservative policy for the eighteen years they continued in power. The battle is now on. however. and the public will not have long to wait {or the verdict dtheelectors. MacFARLANE Co. We Will of Our Stock of Wall Paper- at Unheard 0f Prices.

Dr. Campbell was introduced to the teachers by N. W. Campbell, P. S. I. On rising to speak, he first commented on the insnitability of the text book.

First she showed the importance of it as a means of devel- oping Culture. Miss Beattie gave several illustrations showing how she dealt with difl'erent lessons in the Readers. Love for own land should be instilled in the minds of the pupils. Miss Forfar. N. W. Campbell and Allan briefly comment- ed on the paper. "Politeness in School” was the? Title of the paper given by Miss‘“7 Dale. After giving two or three; M definitions of Politeness, she showed the importance of it in school life and L how it should be secured. School life ; Cl is a social life, therefore everything; which tends to elevate social life so should be fully and cheerfully culti- i \t vated among the pupils. The teach- ' “ er's own manner and politeness is; the most important factor in develop- ing politeness in the pupils. Miss? Dale considered Politeness should be ‘ S' a foundation stone in character and; not a mere ornament tacked on. Mr. Campbell briefly commented on the: importance of Politeness. and stated T: the great diflerence that existed in \- difierent schools. ‘ N. W. Csmpbell. P. S.

It showed careful preparation and was given in an interesting and impressive manner. The chief duties of teachers to self were (1) Take care of Physical strength. (2) Be opti- mistic (3}) Know your own capabil- ities and work therefrom. (4) Real- ization of self. (5) Development of soul. (6) Dangers of life.

Fruit Tramportation Charges Reduced While these concessions are by no means all that the fruit interests asked for. they are. however, consid- ered to be a considerable measure of relief to a very serious situation. PRICE 0!" APPLES. As a result of reports received from all parts of the Province. the Canad- ian Horticulturist will announce in its October issue that the apple crop of the Province this year is not nearly as large as last, and that the same is true throughout the United States generally. There is little reason for the bearish reports of buyers concern- ing the large crops. While there is a large amount of poor fruit through- out Ontario, the general quality is good, and growers should realize better prices than are being oflered.‘ For No. 1 and No. 2, which is good, growers should not accept less than 75 cents to $1.00 per barrel on the tree. where considerable quantities of fruit can be given the buyer. Re- ports received by the Horticulturist show that buyers are offering from 2.3 to 75 cents per barrel for fruit. It will be announced in the October issue of the Horticulturist, that as a result of the evidence given recently before the Railway Commission, by representatives of the fruit interests the railway Company have voluntari- 1y made some material concessions. A reduction has been made in the rate of mixed car lots of fruit, lrcm the principal shipping districts to the larger centres of distribution. such as Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa. Que- bec and Winnipeg. A special rate for one half car lots, or 10,000 lbs. or over, has also been made. In addi- tion the flat rate for icing cars, des- tined for Manitoba. has been atolish- ed. and hereafter shippers will only be charged for the actual amount of ice supplied. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has a remarkable record. It has been in use for over thirty years. during which time many million bottles have been sold and used. It has long been the standard and main reliance in the treatment of croup in thousands of homes, yet during all this time no case has ever been reported to the manufacturers in which it failed to efiect a cure. When given as soon as the child becomes hoarse or even as soon as the croupy cough appears. it will prevent the attack. It is plea- sant to take, many children like it. It contains no opium or other harm- less substance and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. For sale by H. Parker.â€"1. The Hardest Pain to Endnre A Remarkable Record. NOTICE. W. J.

DEAR SIR.â€"-â€"It was with sincere re- gret that we your Bible class students and fellow workers in the Sabbath School learned some time ago of your intended departure from our neighbor- hood. During the two years in which you have had charge of the Bible class you have given yourself devotedly to the work and have taken much care in the preparation and teaching of the lessonsin order to have them clearly and thoroughly understood by us, It has entailed considerable sacrifice on your part and we beg of you to accept this present as a slight token of our appreciation of your services. We trust you will treasure it as a pleasing remembrance of your as- scciation with the Edge Hill Sunday School. We earnestly pray that He who orders all things will prosper you in your chosen profession. and that in his own good time, we shall all meet around that shining Throne where all is peace and love. Dan Firth and sister Miss Nellie of Melancthon spent a few days with their numerous friends and relatives in this vicinity. Their Aunt Miss J. Ritchie accompanied them home.
