We hope those in arrears will not force the council to use force in the collection of the town tax, but the tax must be collected re gardless of resuits and. the people had just as well understand it and act accordingly. A number of our country friends seemed much interested in the sale of the Institute property and they were gratified that the -property did not fall into private hands. Severel of them also congratulated the edi tor on his editorials arousing the people to their interests and expressed their concur -rance in the opinion that if this property had been allowed to go to private parties -it would have injured the business inter ests of the town materially. If you want beef, pork, or sausages that is nicely handled, give Arthur Lowery your order.

A lady present~who -was of the gold standar'd'fith immediately made a pass at us and while we w-ere ,en deavoring to fix a plan to change the sub ject, her companion must have discovered our dilema; she requested her friend to desist, not caring to hear a political dis cussion. It was perfectly satisfactory to us, as we are as ignorant on the question of finance as we are on the question ol bloomers versus propriety, and we realized that the lady was up on the subject and an ardent supporter of the yellow metal.
