The Albion New Era says that it is given out that the Lake Shore company have offered to increase the wages of their engineers and firemen materially if they will agree to take no part in | any’ strikes that may’ occur during the year. Hon. Dan McDonald, writing to the Plymouth Democrat from Washington, says; “Col. Conn lias already shown his business tact in his political duties by’ turning over the selection of postmasters in his district to the people of j 1 e ities to be determined fem wherever it W piAcutaOiv. ne believes the theory of the late election was “the people against the machine,” and wherever it is possible to do so his desire is that the mass of the democrats immediately interested shall indicate 1 by a popular vote whom they wish to 1 serve them as postmaster. This is the true theory, and besides will enable him to steer clear of the rock on which so many congressmen have wrecked their political craft.” NOTICE.

» • —- — ■ ! ' T.. . V WHY? I have frequently been asked in the past two weeks by customers, and business men of this place, “Why I did not move my North Liberty stock to some other town to close it out?” MY ANSWER is, I have sold goods in Walkerton now for nearly 22 years, and been in the clothing business here, selling for myself, for over 17 years and 90 per cent of the people within ten miles of Walkerton are my friends and customers, and as I expect to be ® bliged to LOSE 77^, $1,000! ON THIS STOCK TO CLOSE IT OUT. I WANT TO GIVE MY LOSS TO MY FRIENDS AND CUSIOMERS, - AND NOT TO STRANGERS IN SOME OTHER TOWN. COME WHILE THESE GOODS LAST, For Bargains.
