P. at the coming general election. He goes on iii his customary ungentle- manly and iueinuating style of retort. We have yet to be convinced that he (^Mr. Jenkins) is not thrusting himself upon the party. He says that "the leading Conservatives of South Grey voluntarily admitted that Jenkins was the strongest man if he got the con- vention." Just so we would not be at all surprised that the man who gets the convention will be the strongest man; but, to presume that a person of such degraded habits as the editor of the Chronicle waa likely to get the convention would not, in our opinion, be creditable to the moral status of the Conservatives of South Grey. Labge Shipment of Cattle. â€" Mr. M. Dunn, ol Calgary, N. W. T., ship- ped, on Saturday last, 520 head of cattle, comprising 500 two-year- old hfiifers and 20 two-year-old thorough- bred Short Horn Bulls. 800 of the above were shipped from Markdale, 120 from Dundalk and 100 from Gueiph. Mr. Dunn has an extensive range for breeding purposes near CaJgary, having taken from Ontario, previous to this shipment, 1,500 head, and will require 1,000 more the present season, which he expects to take in other two instalments. This drove when arriving at Calgary will stand him about $16,000, or an average of. about $32.00 each. He has been iu the business a great many years, and thoroughly nnder- etaads it, and from what we can leaiB, is very honorable in his dealings with the public. A DOUBLE BENEFIT.

Be Loyal, Be patriotic I Stand by your home institutions like men. What builds^ up a place from a hamlet to a village, from a village to a town, from a town to a city? Does dissension, strife, jealousy No Does dealing at home when you want credit of the business man and going elsewhere when yon have the cash to spend No Does finding fault with what others do in- stead of putting out your Hand and giving a lift? Does defaming your town in order to take vengeance upon some one who works for the good of the town and reaps his reward, while you are appraised at your true value- less than nothing? Is it not the true way to show your manliness, your patriotism, your loyalty by being a man iu every respect, a citizen on every occasion No town can prosper where its inhabitants ore at daggers drawn, any more than can a family when the members of it are quarrel- some and indifferent to the general good of the boaie. Be loyal t-o your town â€" try to make it the best place you have ever seen- buy all you need in it, and always haye a good word ta say for it to everyone you meet. â€" [Thornbury News.â€" The above is tiuo and to the point, Â¥i».
