WEDDING BELLS AT CHERRY VALLEY. Miss Florence A. Carrier, third daughter of Stephen Carrier, of Cherry Valley, was married to William D. Sherron, of Crapaud, on Tuesday, the 17th _ inst. The bridesmaids were Miss Ida Riggs and Miss Ella Carrier. The bridegroom was at- tended by Mr. Albert Stordy, of Crapand, and Mr. James Lapthorne, of Charlotte- tuwn. The bride was dressed in a beautiful brown casnmere suit, trimmed with old gold satin, and with a boquet of flowers, looked fair indeed. The Rev. James Simpson tied the nuptial knot. Many beautilul presents were given the bride. Among the number was « splendid set of old guld jewelry, the wift of the bridegroom. After the mar- riage, the party sat to the wedding supper, to which all did ample justice; and then, to the merry strains of the violin, ‘chased the hours,” till the sun, casting his first bright beams through the eastern windows fell like a halo ef glory around the head of the fair young bride and caused the invol- untary murmur ** Happy is the bride the sun shines on.’ After partaking of break- fast, the merry party, with showers of rice, old shoes and good wishes, saw the bride- groom and bride off for their future home, - -_ - Personal.

Mr. Blakes Candidature. |

Sre,-- It ishoped,in view of the expression ! of public opinion at the meeting held last evening, that Dr. Jenkins will see his way clear to an honorable retirement from his self-imposed candidature. The people are, evidently, determined to elect Mr. Blake as a supporter of the administration, rather than Dr. Jenkins in the indetinite position of an independent candidate.

An Explanation.

Sir,—In the last issue of the WEEKLY Examtxer there appears an article from the pen of one ‘* Justice,” charging me with not doing my duty in the distribution of certain papers sent to Tryon Post Office. Now, Sir, I think that before one should write in the name of justice he should be very certain he is stating the truth in what- lever matter he undertakes to give pablicity to. I can teothfully state that the cir- culars which came to this office were dis- tributed either by me or an attendant in the oftice, and if **Justice” is not satisfied | with this statement let him visit Tryon and ascertain froin those who received copies. I think, Mr. Editor, that you should be a little cautious in inserting articles like the | one mentioned, even though written by a scribe of ** Justice.” Thanking you Mr. Editor for your valuable space, | remain

The Record of Taxation.

Continually the liberals iterate and re- iterate the assertion that the financial bur- dens of the people have been enormuusly increased by the Conservative Government. In a single word, the statement is not true. An unscrupulous man like Sir Richard Cartwright can produce quite an effect by taking a blue book in his hand and saying : ‘‘In 1878-9 you paid taxes to the amount of $18,476,613 35. In 1889-90 your taxes amounted to $31,587,071.72. In eleven years the increase was more than $13,000,000.” This has an alarming sound; but lock at it. In 1878-9 the sums actually raised by taxation amounted to $18,476,- 613.35. There is no doubt about that. But our Liberal friends forget to add that they failed to meet the ordinary expendi- ture of the Government, and there was a deficit of $1,937,999.42. That sum was paid out of taxation in the year named or some other. So that we are compelled to raise the taxation of the year to $20,415,- 612.77. Estimating the population at the end of 1878 at 4,100,000, the taxes which were spent in that year amounted to $4.98 per head. In 1889-90 there was a surplus of $5,885,803.94. That went in reduction vf the public debt or for the construction vf public works of general utility, Sub- sidies to provinces were increased by $462,- 157.738, and payments into the sinking fund by $850,017.44 Making allowance for these sums it is found that there re- mains an expenditure out of taxation of $26,579,062 57, and estimating the popu- lation at 5,200,000, it expenditure per head was $5.08, or an tinccease of 10 cents per head. i
