LITTLE MAY BE IN FIELD AGAIN His Worship Mayor John Little has not decided whether or not he will be a candi- ' date at the forthcoming election. Inter- viewed, Mr. Little stated that the electors had honoured him with the office of Chief Magistrate of the town for three years in succession, and personally he was not seek- ing election for a fourth term. The posi- tion required a great deal of time from bus- iness and he was not anxious to fill the_ Mayor s chair for another term unless cit-' izens generally expressed a desire for him to stand. He had not made up his mind, he intimated, and would wait before doing so, to see what was the wish of the rate- payers in the matter. In noun 1-kn Mnivnw I`nl|.m`nn J. - . . n n _ -3...

Sat. The whole southern sky was illuminated Monday night about ten o'clock by the burning of the dancing pavilion at Min_et s Point, across the bay. * The building, which was owned by the Barrie Beach` Amuse- ment Company, was a one-storey frame building, used entirely for dancing and am- usementpurposes. It was an entire loss. No clue has been found as to the cause of the fire` and" it is thought that it had been the stopping place for a. passing tramp. The buildingand contents was valued at be- tween $5,000 and $6,000. Insurance part- ly covers the loss. In klnun nvna nal nnnvl nbu-uni 0 Q I UUVCIS lfLIU E5- The blaze a was first seen about 9.30, Monday night, and in a half an hour it had been razed to the ground.` Of light frame construction, the building fell an easy prey to the flames. The contents consisted of a piano, valued at `about $500, a number of` chairs and benches", a cash register and other equipment. The contents were fully cover_ed__by insurance, while only partial in- surance was carried on the building. The structure was about three seasons old and `had been used during the camping season for amusement purposes. It was construct- ed by the Barrie Beach Amusement Com- pany, a group of Barrie business men, who had made the investment to provide cheap amusement for Barrie young people during the summer months, close at home. Word reached Barrie on Monday of the death of N. W. E. King, which sad event occurred at his home in Calgary, A1ta., on Saturday, Dec. 1. For several years he had been in failing health. Early this year diabetic gangrene set in in one foot. Hop- ing. to save his life, one leg was am-putated about six months ago in an Edmonton Hos- pital, but he gradually grew weaker until the end came. His long and trying illness was borne with characteristic courage and cheerfulness.

About 1869 the latter purchased the Gazette from its found- ers, Mann & Richardson. His. son Ernie, who was born in Barrie nearly 53 years ago, learned the printing trade with the Gazette . and most of his life "was spent with this newspaper. Upon the death of -his father, he succeeded to the management of the Gazette and conducted it energetically until he sold out to Alfred Wilkes. For a couple of years he had a bookstore in town, which be disposed of to James G. Keenan twelve years ago and went to Calgary to, act as. Alberta _representative of Miller & Richard, type founders, a position for which he was well fitted being thor- oughly versed in all branches of the print- ing trade.- Until laid aside by ill health. he carried on this work very successfully, being well and favorably known in all the printing offices throughout Alberta. Mr. King was a facile writer and had a good appreciation of news values. For several years he contributed, from time" to time, many newsy items to TheVExaminer under the heading Western Notes" as well as some very interesting sketches of people and events in Barrie during his boyhood days.
