,3 gritoal. rtisements. in RTc‘aiioihTHILL, December 30, 1397. With the Liberal this week is en- closed the Financial statement and budget speech of the Hon. R. Harâ€" court, Provincial Treasurer, showing Ontario‘s splendid position. We trust that our subscribers will read this statement from beginning to end, and if they do so they will have reason to think that they live in a province having great possibilities. This speach should not only be read carefully but critically. ___.___â€"â€"- The Patrons of Industry in the Ontario Legislature are moving to have a bill introduced looking to the ‘ reduction of Municipal officers. It is proposed that County Councils be composed of the reeves of municipal~ ities, and that township and village councils consist of a recve and two councillors, instead of a rceve and four councillors as at present. We believe that the reeves municipalities should be more touch with county councils than they are at present. And although this method would slightly increase the number of county councillors it might be a move in the right direction. But if this were done it would be only fair that the reeve should carry as many votes as those formerly carried by the rcevc and deputy reeves com- bined. It would not be fair for the vote of a small municipality to count for as much as a municipality with - four times as large a populatior. Relative to the Patrons idea of re- ducing township and village councils to three members we think this would be a mistake. Municipal councillors are paid little or no salary, and five men should do the workâ€"which is often responsibleâ€"better than three. of in King City There was an unusual stir among the brethren of Rol'icrt.s0u Lodge, ’No. 292, A. F. & A. BL, last evening. The newlyâ€"elected oflicers were installed. :and after the work had been complet- cd in the lodge room, the members and a. large number of visiting brethren from surrounding districts with a fe\v , other prominent citizens of the place, were invited to partake of an excellent banquet by J. “I. Urossley, the \Vorâ€" .siiipful Master installed, which was served in Hogan‘s hall. The in- stallation ceremonies were conducted by D. A. Radcliffe, a Past Master of Rising Sun Lodge, Aurora, and he was ably assisted by R. XV. Bro. Brunton of Newmarket, and R. \V. Bro. VVayling of Sharon. Leaving the lodge. room at about 10 o’clock all repaired to the banqnctting hall where about seventy-five sat around the tables. The spread was said to be the best ever given in King City, and this is saying volumes when the reputation of Mr. and Mrs. Hogan .is so well known as host and linsti-ss. The usual toasts were honored, and many eloquent and witty speeches were made by those present during the evening. \V. Bro. Radcliife was highly complimented on the able manner in which he had perfornwd his duties, many expressions of thanks ‘were conveyed to \V. Bro. Crossley for the. hospitality extended, and Robertson Lodge was warmly conâ€" gratulated on the ahlestaif of officers who had just been installed. A very interesting programme was further enlivened by a. number of songs by Mr. T. Brodie of Aurora, ac- companied by mandolin. The happy gathering separated about 1 o'clock. _‘O NE\V POSTAL NOTE. The. Dominion Government has dc- cided to adopt the. postal note system in vogue in the Unit-ed Kingdom, on July 1st, 189-8. Paper notes about the size of a bank bill will be printed on thin linen paper of the following dcâ€" nominations: Twenty. 25. 30, 40, 50, til). '70, 80, and 90 cents. $1, $1.50. $2, ‘ $2.5“, $3, $4, $5. The cost of obtain~ ing these notes will be one cent each up to 40 cents. two cents'betyveen that figure and $2.50, and three cents each for all above that. These postal notes will replace the post. oflice money order for tihetransmission of all small sums through the post. The preSent money order system will be continued, however, with some improvements, for the transmission of sums up to $100. Tluseaostal notes will serve a great public convenience, doing away with the payment of accounts in post~ age stamps, the postal notes being payable at any order office without the identification of the payee or any condition other than the presentation i of the note. It is expected that the .rates, low as they are fixed, will give ~: small profit. ‘The system is wary 3pc.pulnl' in England. . crisp letters from European capitals: . faithful scrv : Lord Elgin Camp, S. of 8., met in their ("amp room, Masonic Hall, on Dcccmbchan.

XMAS TREE ENRICRTAINM ENT. The Christmas Tree entertainment in connection with the Methodist Sabbath school on (‘hrislmas night. passed elf very nicely. The tree was laden with presents, which Santa (‘laus distributed to the children, the teachers and others. with a liberal hand. The school scholars sanpr a. number of appropriate choruses, Miss Verna Hutchison gave a very pretty recitation, and about thirly of the younger boys and girls. with Maslcr Frank Storey as teacher, gave a dia- i, loguc bearing on bible history. which r had been written by their superintend- 1 cut, Mr. \Vm. Harrison. Shorl audi spiriicd addrescs were given by Iicv. George )icUulloch. Rev. IV. R. Barker, and Mr. A. G. F. Lawrence. Each speaker praised the young reciters. and complimented the author on the very suitable dia- logue composed with so much care. A pleasant part of the evening‘s pro- | gramme was the presentation of a. well-filled purse by thechoirand Trust Board to Mr. A. J. Hume for long and . ' ' as leader of the choir, as well as for his willingness to aid in all kinds of church wm'k. Although‘ taken completer by surprise, Mr. Hume made a. suitable reply, and thanked thedoners in well-expressed \vords. At the close of the entertain- mcnt each xpupil 'of the school received a bag of candies. ... HOLTDAY Nl'IMBER.
