fore, at H. THoMAsoN's.
Explanatory.
In justice to the gentlemen con-
cerned, Sheriff Smith asks us to say
that it was no fault of theirs that the
names of Messrs. Davis Brothers, -
Thos. A, Buck and Owen-appeared
in the delinquent tax list as published
last week. Nor was it altogether his.
The facts are these: There has been
an understanding between the Sheriff
and these gentlemen Gust as there is
with others) that he need not bother
about tue matter but when he wants
the amount of their taxes he can get it..
The larger sums (such as these)
Sheriff Smith usually looks after him.
self, and just so he can collect up and
settle with the State within the re-
quired time it is all right. So with
those he knows to be perfectly good
such as he can call upon at any time
and get his money-there has been an
agreement. either actual or implied,
that they need not give themselves any
concern about the matter of their
IN nd hn q
settlement he would let them know.
The law requires that all taxes must
be paid by the first day of April, and
that beginning with that date the
Sheriff must proceed to levy on such
property Creal estate) as has not
been paid on and advertise the
same for sale. Wednesday of last
week Sheriff smith had to go to Oxford
on business and instructed one of his
deputies to wait upon certain parties
in town and notify them of his readi-
ness to take their taxes. Among
others the names of the Messrs Davis
were given him. From some cause
they were not seen and so the matter
was not attended to. The paper was
due to come out next day-the law
was explicit-and the delinquent tax
list was made out that night and put in
the hands of the printer next morning.
In the hurry Of doing the work no
thought was taken Of the individuals
themselves, but the names were
written down just rs they appeared on
the books not paid.
This explains the matter. The
Messrs. Davis had not settled their
taxes simply because they had not
been asked to do so. Those who are
acquainted with them know their
abundant ability to pay, and their
readiness at all times to settle their
accounts, and no one will think for a
moment that their names appeared
among the delinquent tax payers by
any knowledge or consent of theirs.
Sheriff Smith requests us to write this
as simple matter of justice to these
gentlemen as we'll as himself.

CIV BrOS.' MinstrplS.

Taken upon the whole the finest
minstrel troupe that has yet visited
Henderson held the boards at Burwell
Hall Monday night. Notwithstanding
fine reputation had preceded Guy
Brothers Minstrels, we doubt if full
justice had been done them by the
various press notices. Usuallyit is the
other way. The opening first part pre-
scented brilliant scene and from then
on the audience was kept in roar of
laughter or filled with wonderment at
the startling acts of the several special
lists. The songs were new, the jokes
original, and the performance clean and
clear cut all through. The barrel
jumping of Edwin F. Guy, the contor-
lions of w. II. Cooper, the juggling of
Scoield, the bone solo of George r.
Guy, and the singing and comicalities
of W. H. Guy are deserving of special
attention. His rendition of the ''Song
OF all Songs" was specially we'll done
and made him at once a favorite with
the audience. The croquet song and
dance by the "Big Nine" and the base
ball march by five Guy Brothers and
Emery were among the best and most
pleasing features of the programme.
La Strange impersonates the prima
donna we'll, but suffers some by COM
parison with at least two others we
have seen on this stage.
The GOLD LEAF does not hesitate to
endorse such troupe as Guy Brothers
Minstrels, and will be pleased to see
them in Henderson again.

lions and speeches have been the order OF
nearly every day. One Of the most spirited
gatherings ia honor OF the communicating
chief was that at Seattle, Washington, con-
corning which the Post of thar town speaks
at considerable length. Gen. Neazey made
Il ringing speech III the course Of which he
said:
Wherever there is progress and enterprise

flourish. The greatest men of our nation from

Gen. Neazoy expressed the opinion that
the Grand Army Of the republic had not
reached its climax and would not until 1898
when the national encampment would be
held at the worlds fair. The order num-
bers to-day, however, over 800 900 members

Canada's Now Prcmicr-

\ resident OF Burlington, who for many
years was intimately connected with Cana

bolt Of Montreal, the new premier, occupies
IA the Dominion position very similar to
that held by Senator Edmunds in relation
TO American politics. lie is man of the
highest character and legal attachments,
and he is considered one Of the best legal ad-
visers in Canada. lie is 70 years old and
OF Canadian birth, tho son Of an Anglican
clergyman lie was educated at McGill uni-
versity aud called to tho bar in 1s47, and
has lived most Of the time since in Montreal.
No was first chosen 10 Parliament in 1857
and reelected in 1867, after the union, and
has served almost continuously since. He
was for e short time in the cabinet in 1882,
aud was in tho opposition in 1864, when
he put through the Commons the present
jury law Of Canada, nnG fec law
governing court and other foes which
is also the law to-day. In 1872 he was
again elected to tie COmmons and became
unfGN orably known through his part In tho
Pacific road scandals, which resulted in his
practical defeat in 1874, when, though de-
CIhICA e-eCipul Le WAS u'4a5atSi ny us Nohl-

won tao seat in 1890. Ho has been to Eng

md has been twice the mayor of Montreal.
In 1897 he was made government leader in
tho Dominion Senate, a position which he has
held up 10 the present time.
The new premer's opponents have dis
covered that in 1e40 he was one OF the sign
