Candidates (or this county are all nominated aud for tbe next month their perauaiiTn powers will be Uxtd to the utmost. It seems quite certain now that tbe war in Smith Africa n over. In this nviit tbe 2000 Canadian! who are tbout leaving for Africa will have a pisnic compared with those wha have gone before. It will be their duty to relievo thode who have borne the fa- tiguo of bsttle and the heroism of whom have wou such glorious laure' wreathe for the "Lady of tbe Snows." John M. Davis has auuounceil his nnalterable, emphatic and incorrupt- ible ducimon to run as what he calls an independent candidate in this election and expects the Ik-form party to sap- port him. Perhaps it will and perhaps it wont. In any event we believe it is not the intention of the Reformers to bring out a candidate. This will leave tue field clear for Lucas and Davis, which will ensure a lot of fun if noth- ing else. A "Third Epistle of John" will have to be written and then th> book will be complete.

They have buildings and pens for everything, and all under cover and in ule convenient as possible. There is a gallery half way around tbe ring leaving ii feet of apac between the irallery, and it has some seats inside. The other half ia used fur thing* to come in and go out.

There is a clock face on the wall above the scales with figures and a long pointer indicating the weight of the animal which can be aneii all over tho room.

The drink traffic waa the ox of modern dtys. He hoped little for the referendum, which was an endeavor on the part of the government to pleaao both parties. Neither had we anything to hope for from the Opposition, which htd pro- nounced in favor of more stringent license. The sermon throughout wax a vigorous I and fearlew attach upon the traffic, the { responsibility for which the speaker ulac- >ed at the feet of the people themavUes. ; He thought the referendum should have ! been thrown luck at Mr. RON* by the 1 temperance people, with a refusal to ac- eept it as a fulblment of the xorernmt-at's ! pleiigo. * i* * * * Keeps everything a Ulan Deeds . .
