There were a large number of cars used to take voters to the polls, particular attention being given to the ladies, who turned out in goodly numbers. At the close of polls Mark Graham was elected reeve by a4 majority ot 160, and J. M. Simpson, Napanee's youngest barrister, got the largest number of votes recorded for the elected councillors: Following is the Napanee town council for 1924: Mayor (acolama. tion), Alexander MacGregor; Reeve, Mark P, Graham. Councillors: J. M. Simpson, M. C. Burgess, W. J. Jewell, Thomas Huffman, W. George Paul, W. H. Dunbar. For school trustees elected: West ward, Dr. J. B. Willoughby; Centre ward, Alpine. Woods, East ward, James Craig. For Utilities Commission, J. E. Robinson, for term of two years.

The court had the evidence of the war. den that he did not receive the let- ter. also the evidence of the clerks in the warden's office. Magistrate Farrell stated that from his experience of some years he was quite satisfied that it was Twigg's writing in the letters. "That being the case I find you gulity," remarked Magistrate Far- rell to the accused. "I feel it my duty on the evidence to find you guilty on this charge. The only thing in my mind was as to the question of a penalty. The statutes provide for imprisonment or a fine and I am going to take the most convenient. sourse so far as you are concerned, not because I do not think you are deserving, but this thing appears to have been pretty much general. I think the ends of Justice will be served with a fine of $100 and costs or one month." The charge on which Twigg was found guilty was that dated Decem. ber 20th, 1922, and on the second charge, dated June 20th, 1923, the magistrate stated that he under- stood from Mr. Day that the plea of "not guilty" had been with- drawn, "After talking the matter over with the crown, I have decided to remand you on this charge until] called on." ~ | GANANOQUE Jan, 8~--Mrs. W.
