For the information and guidance of Voters we hereâ€" with give the form in which the ballot will appear on the 29th inst. The Voter above is supposed to have marked his ballot for prohibition. Those wishing to act as scrutineers or "agents" as they are called in this elecâ€" tion, must secure the necessary certificates from Returning Officer McDougall or his agent in Durham, Mr. T, Harris. The law allows two agents, favorable to Prohibition at every polling booth. To secure these certificates it is necessary to have a requisition paper signed by Wm. Calder, Pres, of the 8, Grey Prohibition Union. 1e ommending the applicants to the Returning Officer or his agent. Presiâ€" dents of scunicipalities or districts may secure these in bulk from Mr. Calder and distribute as required, or if names are sent to him, the certificates can be secured flled up and sent back again to the Presidents : always remembering to give polling booth and municipality if names are sent. . This will not apply to Proton which is in East Grey for this election. â€" Heads of local executives should attend to thi« at once. That the Liquor trade of the Province are not by any means idle is proyed by the "Private and (T()nfldontiap' circulars sent out to the "trade" some time ago. A circular issued recently by the "Onâ€" tario License Holders Protective Asâ€" sociation," â€" from _ "Headquarters, 28 Wellington St., Toronto," and signed by A f)ickie. gives ‘"information for members only, "under nine subâ€"divisions. No. 1 refers to the literature, and closes by saying, "it is understood that the principal rnrtion of the moneys reâ€" ceived for plebiscite campaign shall be devoted to newspaper and postal distriâ€" bution of Literature." No. 2 asks members to fihd out the attitude of the press. No. 3 we give in fuall : "No part to be taken by the,trade in public meetings this phase of the campaign to be left enâ€" tirely with the iemperance party ; this committee considers that public discusâ€" sion would only assist the temperance part f' in keeping up the enthusiasm and would bring no practical results to the trade." No. 4 directs that each local associaâ€" tion shall collect a special assessment for plebiscite purposes, \o 5 makes ai-mngements that each lhcense holder be impressed with the importance of polling every friendly vote. Mr. Editor.â€" We are somewhat surâ€" prised to see an article in the""Chronicle" of the 8Sth inst. from a certain well known individual styling himself +«Self Defence." Now Mr. Editor. the item which appeared in the issue of your valuable paper, of Aug,. 25th, and to No, 6 refers to testing candidates at byeâ€"elections. No. 7 is lengthy and refers to the great importance of increasing memberâ€" ship if they wish to be able "to secure favors for themselyes municipally and otherwise." No. 8 refers to Honorat fi' members, and urges dealing only with those who "stand by the association." No. $ is technical. With a knowledge of these facts temâ€" perance workers should have all the stimulus the* need, if in the face of them an indifferent yote is polled, it will prove that the country is not yet ready for prohibition. Cortespondent‘s reply to *Self Defence,‘ These instructions are no doubt being carefull( followed, especially No. 3, and no public utterance on behalf of the liquor trade may be expected. The Witness publishes the circular in If you have coughed and coughed until the lining memâ€" brance of your throat and lungs of Codâ€"liver Oil will soothe, strengthen and probably cure. The codâ€"liver oil feeds and strengthens the weakened tisâ€" sues. The glycerine soothes and heals them. The hypoâ€" phosphites of lime and soda impart tone and vigor. Don‘t neglect these coughs.

No, he did not, nor can he do so, but endeavors to varnish it over with the,"*Snake in the grass"compound, the ingredients of which he appears very familiar with. As to his stateâ€" ment in reference to Mr. Lawrence‘s animal, we are creditably informed that it died in January and was accorded deâ€" cent burial by Mr. L, _ This cannot be said of this animal, so far as we can asâ€" certain, the only covering it received was a small bundle of sticks and a little muck. Harvesting, â€" frostâ€"nipped buckwheat, thresbhing and seeding are what is engrosâ€" sing the attention of the freeâ€"fromâ€"care tiller of the soil at present, Mr. Dan Proctor, foreman of Truax & Co., of Walkertor was for a short time a guest in the vicinity last week. Home, invigorated and refreshed by a mouths holidays is Rev. Mr, Little. All are glad to see their well liked pastor back, Mrs, M. Higginson of Rochester N. Y., formerly Miss L.

Mi«s Jessie Stewart left last Friday for Rochester N. Y., intending to make the Flower City her home for a time. Cold spell here the last week. Quite a number from here attended the Toronto Exhibition and many are the stories told as to their experiences. Scme few would lead us to believe that the digâ€" nitaries of the exhibition paid attention to them anod that the city officials escorted them as if they were some fore‘gn nob‘eâ€" men, while & stirring young man here, a chum of your cor. Tom, reports that the ouly probable escort was a policeman who might give them a good caution. I mentioned thats a meeting was to be held to revive the backsliders, The meetâ€" ing was all right but the last statement is wrong as we are assured there are no backsliders. Glad to make the correcâ€" tion, On Wednesday Mr and Mrs W. Burnet made a pleasaut call on the latter‘s parâ€" euts while attending the Campbellâ€"Mitenâ€" ell wedding. The groom is Mr Campbell, druggist, of Dundalk, tc a daughter of Mr Mitchell, of Ventry.

The animal was killed immediately. Mr. and Mrs. Jas MeMurdo of Ventry, were the guests of her father Mr _A Bryce Sabbat‘ last, Mr, Malcolm McTagart is domng great work with his new engine this season. â€" He is getting more calls than he can «ttend to.

We understand that Mr. Bsemer, th ownir of the Traverston Mids ias rented the flour Mills to a Mr. Wheeler, who hails from Meaford, but who has been living in Detroit for the Iss=t few yea‘s. It is smid that Mr. Wheeler can run the mill wheels to jperfection, and is capable o‘ making the most beautifui flour. It is stated that he will give 40 lbs of flour to the bushel of wheat for grist, and will buy any quantity of good wheat for which the highest price will be paid, Mr. Geo. MeNally, late of the eight con, of Glenelg, and now living at Meaford was round these parts with a waggonâ€"lond of plumbs for which he found a ready sale at fair prices. We expect to see him round again in a couple of weeks, George say that it was a iucky day when he left this district. He is fuil of praise for Meaford and says he would not come back again if they would give him the old farm back for nothing. LITERATURE SELECTIONS. PROTON CENTRE. ZION. to weet reâ€" mirtudber Tow.
