Joseph H. and Hiram Dean that their brother John James, of La Salle, lolorado, had been killed. The letter written by deceased’s son VVilbie says in part: “ Dear Uncle Hardy,: A cloud hangs over us, the sorrow of death is in our hearts, our loving father was thrown from a load- ed wagon and the rear wheel went over him. his chest on the right side being crushed till every bone in it Was broken. It occurred about half past eleven on the 2nd of Dncember and at twenty minutes to six his soul took its flight to its heavenly abode. He was able to toll mother that one of the horses jumped, throwing him from his , seal.” Mrs Best from Palmerston was visiting with her ‘sister Mrs. R. J. Allen last, week.

He admitted that the local option law had been broken, showed how Mayor Kennedy got his position at the lz-tst election, pointed out that he was now and always an opponent to the law. and that at one. council Inciting he stated plainly that he did not intend to enforce the local option law. A very practical talk on Local Opt-ion was delivered in the town hall here on Monday night last by Mr. C.’ A. Flem- ing, of. Owen Sound. As a speaker, Mr. Fleming could scarcely be consid- ere fluent. His address lacked the oratorical flashes of many speakers, but his plain presentation of a long array of well-marshalled facts, put in plain common sense language, was quite as convincing as the deliverances of many of the so-called orat grs. Mr. Fleming introduced himself as one of the plain business men of Owen Sound and one of the first things he told the audience disabused their minds if they expected anything in the style of high class oratory. Heis notonlyaplain business man, being identified with a number of the town’s industries, but he is the owner of the Business College in which he has had much experience as a teacher. This accounts to a large degree for the didactic way in which he delivered his address, on which we have heard much favorable comment. VViLh reference to the failures men- tioned, he showed that in most; cases they were (mused by a iack of capital to carry on the business properly. Owen Sound. he says, is not losing trade becanm of local option, but on the other hand there is a general in- crease of business, with more ready cash, easier collections. fewer bad debts and less poverty amongst; Lhe people. Drunkenness is not. nearly so common L8 in license times. There are practimtlly no empty houses, and even Mayor Kennedy and others have made ('XLL‘HSiUUS [0 their premises to meet, lhe increased demand for their O'inuL. Mr. “’11). Allan gave :1, good report from the working of local option in Egremont. The Ag 'icule-al Society of the township, wnich has been in existence for lot-Ly years. was never so prosperous as it is now, and the business men (.t' Holstein are well pleased with the results. ' I C; A. FLEMING 0N LOCAL OPTION He started out with an illustration taking on 1' Cement \Vox-ks as the basis, and showed that the union of clay and marl made cement, a useful product, similarly in other industries the pro- duct was useful and a benefit to the community.
