passed and gone into effect, and will
be sworn in at the next regular meet

says the Monitor, to his realizing this
increase of $500 in the salary is the
fact that in accordance with the ap-
preparation ordinance for the current
year, there is only SlO0 appropriated
for the mayors salary.

Sweetzer, the agricultural man has
a large and complete assortment of
farm implements, together with a fine
line of buggies and wagons. In the
implement line he is selling on new
list of prices-lOwer, perhaps, than
ever offered before in Ottawa. In
many cases going at actual cost. The
only reason is, to reduce this stock.
He also has every desirable make of
sewing machines, and has established
a low price on these-in short you can
buy more goods there for the next
thirty days for the same money than
you have done for twenty years past.
The goods are going to be sold, and be-
fore you buy even "a spade or fork, don't
fail to see his goods before purchasing.

doing.
