The Beason of festivities and uift making is drawing near and shop shelves already groan under the weight of fancy goods suitable for the trade. Large amounts are spent annually at this season of the year in ways wise and otherwise. The custom has many good points, and yet judgement and common sense is required here as much as in any other line. Let there be thought and consideration for those who may be less fortunate in the world tnan ourselves, and who haven't all the bare necessaries ot life, much less any luxuries. In makini? out your list of gifts don't forget the poor, A little spent in this way will do you good, as well as relieve the wants and gladden the heart of the recipient. COUNTY COUNCIL. The December session of Grey County Council was unusually lively for the last session of the year. W. J. McFarland, reeve of Markdale, and Chas. Moffat, reeve of Glenelg, have i^iroved tbemeelves to be two of the most thorough going and able mem- bers of that body. A resolution to memorialize the Local Legislature to abolish all tax exemptions was moved by Mr. McFarland and carried. An- other important inove was made in reference to Hawkers and Pedlars and a by-law passed increasing their license from $25 to $50 and giving the informant half the fine. It is claimed, and reasonably too, that re- sponsible resident merchants and busi- ness men have a right to protection fiom those who have no stake or ititerest in the county. Minutes of the session given in this and next week's paper. NOTE AND COMMENT. â€" WLeat has gone up ten cents per bushel in Manitoba. â€" Kansas city has added 22 square miles to its corporate limits. -r-The estate of the late Sir George Gartier in Montreal has been sold for |72.000. â€" The United States intend to en- large their postal cards, so that more words can be sent for a cent. â€" Legal responsibility for accidents arising out of carelesseness and foolish- U06S should, ill the interests of the community, be extended. Those who shoot people, mistaliing them for game, or by accident, as it is called, when trying to frighten them by pointing a gun at them, or by leaving loaded and cocked firearms around like traps for children or the unwary, should, instead of being only pitied, Uo subject to prosecution " for their criminal negligence or buffoonery. â€" Jefferson Davis, the martyr of the lost cause, as the South persists in calling him, the arch rebel as he is C;)lled by the North, has, in spite of tt'.e vicissitudes of his life passed away at a greater age than has been reach- ed by many of the legitimate presidents of the United States. Gen. Davis was a biave and skilful soldier, a courage- ous. and able statesman and a leader who was deeply loved. He was on the wrong side of great moral questions being an ardent advocate of slavery but other wise and Rood men were altso bhnded by their surroundings. Gen. Davis was born in Kentucky in 1 808,but was brought up in Mississippi. Ho gradtiatedfirom West Point and uerved with distinction campaign^ in the West sgaifist- the Induuis, in. Mexico itttAjn^^Twua; He was a beutor ibc Miwuw| y i and Ueoretury was elected Provisional President of the Confederate States in 1861 and President m 1862. After the capture of Richmond Gen. Davis was taken by the Federal authorities and lodged in Fortress Minerva for two years. He was never brought to trial, but bis rights of citizenship were taken' from him and he remained to the day of his death without them. He was re- leased in 1867, and resided for some time m Montreal, haying a house on Mountain street and frequenting St. Francois Xavier street, where he liad friends in busmess. He has since lived in Memphis, Tennessee. We are reinindeil of tVe • iug tursclves viith "' 'Citable Meaford Boad. Standard Correspondence. There came to the residence of Mr. E.
