He now stands sec- ond on our list, being only one year behind Captain James Whitmore, who is credited to Jan. lst. 1907.

Only- about nine months ago the bereavedl parents lost a bright young daughter about seventeen or eighteen years of age. and very shortly afterwards the older sister was taken down from the eflects of a severe cold which de- veloped rapidly into that most fatal disease. consumption. The deceased was thirty-one years of age on Christ- mas Day. the day before she died. and a woman, of high Christian char- actor. for whom everyone had a kind word. For about ten or eleven years she was living in Toronto. and her sister‘s illness brought her home, it was thought only for a short time.

In toun Monday night the lower half of the hall was filled to hear the town F athera give an account of their Stewardship and to select men to rep- resent us at the council Board in ’02. Mayor Calder went pretty fully into the year’s work and was followed by ExoMayor Laidlaw. neither of whom created any great amount of enthusi- asm. Principal Allan and Norman McIntyre were also nominated. and the former made a stirring address indicative particularly of laxity in the council regarding the town’s war. a! standing. Every traveller he said regarded Durham as the most drunk en hole in western Ontario. and he thought a firm hand should be used to stop the crying evil. He also gave a Straight slap at the inefiiciency of the town hall and the poor provi- sionflmade for heating it. Mr. McIn- tyre was absent when his name was called but he’s in the fiel l for the may- oralty. Messrs. Laidlaw and Allan have declined. the honor. The following were nominated for councillors, vizz-J. L._ Br_owne.__J. H. Brown. Charter Smith. Sam. Mc- Cracken. Wm. Sharp. Alex McLach- lan. John McKechnie. George Mc- Kechnie. A. S. Hunter, John Living. Stan and George Sparling. the last two of whom resigned. leaving nine in the field from which a first class council may be selected. We are not going to anything about the compar- tive merits of the nen now 'in the field, but we sincerely hope that 1902 will begin anew era in the municipal history of Durham and that. here- after. the electors may make a su- preme effort to get the best retiree sentatites at. the council Board. Such business is we serious to be conduct- ed as a farce. However good Mayor Calder andi ex-Mayor Laidlaw may have been in| the past. it seems to us that Laidlaw‘ struck the key nore in his address at| the nomination when he said thel town was tired of both of them, and: now the opportunity comes to asserti that wear-mess throngh the secret! power of the ballet. Both candidates have done considerable for the'up-‘g buildingr of the town, but. even on; that score Mr. McIntyre stands pro-1 eminently ahead of all others, and5 with so much vested interest in a‘ place it is only tair to give him a chance to sit at the head of the Conn- cilin 1902. Mr. McIntyre. we under- stand, has had considerable municrp- al experience. He is a good business man He made all his money out- side the town, and he is spending it all here, and let us repeat what we had freq‘nent occasion to say in the past, we regard him as the leading man in Durham, if spending his own money for the town’s material ad- vancement is to be taken as a criter- iont We are not quarreling with Mr. Calder, but we think the town will be better for a change. and with such a council as the Mayor will have to assist him we know of no beeter man than Norman McIntyre. The people must decide, and whatever the ma- jority says. we’ll agree to. If, after a vear’s trial, the ratepayers find the town cannot. exist; without Mr. Cal- der as Mayor, he can then be ch osen but there need be no apprehension on the part of the edeCtors to try the experhnent. For Trustees the following were nominatedzâ€"Dr. Wolfe. Chas. Mc- Arthur. Chas. Ramage, Wm. Guthrxe, Chas, McKinnou, Wm. Johnston, Jr: Ullas, MClxmnou, w m. uuuustuu, us. 8. P. Saunders, John Livingston and Robt. Aljoe, Jr. Messrs. Livingston and Aljoe resigned, and a goodly number of good men for the position still remain, The selection of a trustee is just as important a matter; as the selection of councillor or Mayor and now that our school stands well up on the list and is coming rapidly to the front, we think the Board should be representative men, and in our opinion the men who know most about actual school requirements. providing they act in accordance with their knowledge, should be the best men for the position. If this be true Messrs. McArthur and Ramage should be the best candidates in the bunch. _There are other good men. and as we 'are not out on canvas for any one in particular, we have little to say in the matter. Of course if Mr. Ram- age gets the honor, he’ll be shut out of school printing. and if we were selfish we would urge his election, but we’ll not do so. To the Electors of the Tp. of Egremont.
