This time Mr. Laurie Thompson of East Mountain brought to The Ad- vance office a stem of timothy hay the head of which was formed like the letter V. It is indeed an oddity. We have heard of V* sign on oats, marks on animals, etc., but this is the first time that we have heard of a blade of timothy lending its support to the promise of victory. OUR APOLOGIES Three C rn.

Farqunar K. Oliver, Liberal, the memlber for South Grev for the past 17 years, and Ed. Colgan, Progressive Conser- vative, editor of the Markdale Stand- ard.

BELLAMY CRERAR This week our columns have been almost entirely taken over by elec- tion and other advertising and we are again forced to hold over consid- erable of our correspondence. Thii- state of affairs will not containue and we will be able to get back to nor- mal shortly. Extra election printing and being shorthanded with a man in camp at Niagara, has made it im- possible to print extra pages to in- clude many news items. We hope our readers will overlook the albsence of the usual reading matter and will read all the " advertisements which are important at this ime.
