As is frequently the ease around this time of your there is a lively mn- nieipal contest in progress now in Tis- dale. From the names out”: ballots, however, there is every reason to be.. lieve that the Township will have CL good government for 1921 no matter which ones are selected for the offices at the voting on Monday next. For Reeve, the only two candidates 1omina.ted; Messrs. J. Fl. Cook and C. V. Gallagher, have qt1alifled and the race is promising to be a lively one vith popular feeling apparently lean- ng towards Mr. Cook. Mr. Gallagher is the present Reeve and has given the ['ownship good service. Mr. Cook was a tower of strength to the Township in the early days of the municipality, 1nd though apparently pursued by the bitterness of a few of the citizens he has never lost his interest in munieip- ll matters or missed a chance to help the Township along, No one questions dis ability or his honest desire to help Old Tisdale, and to judge by the ex- oressions of popular opinion he will likely receive a vote that will show the high opinion held of him through- out the Township. For Councillors, there is a goodly array of good names. Those Qualify- ing fur the race for Councillors in- elude;---P. c Cooper, J. H. Leng, Rod mick MePhee and J, 2S. Muskctt, of Selutrnaelw..; E.

Wilson were also norninated but de- elined the honour. A fter the nomination at South find (in Mun-lily there was a rsuhlie meeting with Mr. Sylvester Kmnvdy in the chair.

CALEDONIAN DANCE ON MONDAY EVENING, JAN. 3rd Just because of a Christmas box he is said to have accepted, Joseph Phil- iips, employed for some time past at Hamilton 's Liveyy here, was this week thrust, behind the bars. The thusness at it is explained as follows :---Phillips got.his Christmas box and hurriedly but unflurriedly carried it out to his rig: and placed it under the seat, and then was all ready to come away and enjoy the gift. he had secured. But Olliver W. Bennett just happened to happen along: at that moment and made investigations that were not pleasant for Phillips. The result was that Phillips not only lost his Christ- mas box, but also his liberty. "The malice suggest that this particular DC“ Ups IV may secure tickets at several places in town. Mr. A. Roberts has charge of the ticket selling, and among the places where the tickets are on sale here is at J. K. Moore's store. Tiek.. ets are also on sale at Todd's Drug Store, Schumacher.

'Lemmrd Saunders; Newton, lumber- man. From the above list it should be anl easy matter to select a first-elass Conn eil for 1921. The present Mayor has given very capable and wholehearted service to the Town in municipal mat- ters, and in view of the fact that there are a number of important public! works under way it is likely that he will be returned to ofliee "to finish his work." in the interest of the muni-l eipality. Generally speaking the Coun- eil for this year has been a good one, and the members on the ballot for re- election are likely lo receive special consideration from the voters. They have been tested and found honest, able and efficient. Messrs. Longmore/ Newton, Laprairie and 1)uFeu have all been attentive, able and ptiblie- spirited in dealing with town affairs. Of course one or all of them may he criticized here or there, but that is in- evitable in regard to men before the puplie eye. The general Consensus of opinion, however, will give them full credit for honeeity, ability and atten- tion to the interests of the town. Mr. Longmore has been a particularly va- luable man as Councillor. His know- ledge, experience and general capab- ilities make him pavtieularly titted for the position of Chairman of the Fin- anee Committee. He has given much time and unlimited attention to his de- partment and the Town should be grateful to him for his good work in 'keeping the municipality in the best lpossi‘ble financial position.

Messrs King and Ihtbertson have had previous ex- perienee as municipal councillors else- where and those who know of their services speak in tlurhigliest terms of them. Mr. King's interest in munieip- al numbers: has been evidenced by the thne and attention and effort he has given to the Hoard oy'l'rude work here. secm to have. found the mosheconom- ieal solution.

Several weeks ago reference was made to an expected police court case arising from the shameful ill-trent- ment of a little girl nine years old. At that time the child was too ill and in. jured to appear in court and the ease was consequently put off from week to week. In the meantime it develop~ ed that no very serious crime could he charged against anyone as having been committed in the Town of Tim- mins. If brutality and shameless era- elty such as alleged had occurred the )ll’ences had been committed near North Bay and the police court cases "lust naturally be tried in that local- ity. It is understood, however, that the. authorities in the south though tIP- pealed to strongly to take action and investigate fully, showed no particular Interest in the matter. As a. conse- quenee the authorities here have laid j0lllllill ililliilil. Elm fllllfil ilf llulllill CHIN} the whole faets of the. case so far as they can be known before the Attorney General of the Province and further action, if' any, will be at the instigtr Lion of that supreme authority. The story as recital here regarding: the terrible experiences of the little girl was such as. to touch even hard hearts and rouse the tiereest indigo ation. The story is to tho effect that the father of the little girl dying from the "Flu" and the mother being left with a large family to look after, the. care of the nine-year-old girl was accepted by a relative living near North Bay. Abouth the middle pf November the little girl was returned to town, being left to find her own way from the station to her home. Ap- parently from her injuries, her weak- ened, starved condition and her utter exhaustion, the child collapsed on the street. A man passing- earried the child home, when it. was found that her little back and breast 'were fairly covered with ugly red marks that looked like. 'bruises. il'he child was so painfully thin and lacking in nourish- ment, and in such a general distressed state of mind and hody that fog 9. time her life was thought to be uncertain indeed. When the mother had mm. fortdd and nursed the youngster back to some semblance of strength the story told of ill-treatment was it her rilrle one. Loelied in a dark damp cellar for hours. at a time, fed at times on only bread and water, starved at other times, and umuereifally beaten. ---these are a few of the things the youngster says happened to her. The woman who had charge. of the child is reported to make the reply that the youngster had to be punished for mir behaviour, but the treatment, appar- ently meted out lo the nine-year-old child could scat-rely be justified by anything, while those. who know the child say slre is a quiet and nice little girl that would not he the kind to need any sort of punishment. The action or lack of action of the Attorney-General will be watched with much interest.
