Much Business in Sight The new company has in sight more than $100,000 worth of busi- ness. The demand for pipe-organs was never so great as at the present timefespecially in the case of church organs. 'Dhe future for theatre or- gans is also very promising.

By the way, they are stillstanding on Worsley St., south `side, the house being plastered over. , In Graham's yard were barrels of bis- , cuits and cheese and beer, and those who listened to the flow -of political oratory could slip away a-nd get a hasty meal at the expense of a can- u ditlzate and be back,almost immed- iately for all the goings-on. The court house was the scene of plenty of- excitement in the sixties and sev- lenties.

In those days the practice was for the rival ; candidates to provide eats and drink , aplenty for the electorate, This old r soldier had feasted at one candidate's - expense for a whole week and then he set `off to vote, followed by a gang ' of loafers who desired to hold him ' to the candidate from whom he had . benetted. ,_ Their surprise was very K great when he exclaimed very loudly ` that.he was voting forhe rival can-- didate, and itlooked as if he might be hauled down from his rostrum and mobbedu Turning to the crowd, he said: Gintlemin!

' When Orators Flourished To show to what extent political campaigns were important in the- time of the court house hustings, it might be interesting to note that people came for miles around and stayed for days at a time to hear the political hot air of the day.

(Continued from page 1) A 0ld_-Time Elections . Perhaps the most interesting part of life. at the court house in the past century was at election time. Those were soul-stirring days when, for weeks of time prior to an election, orators orated and speakers spouted from the_hustings-a huge platform ereotedsdirectly in front of the court house. That was in the neigihborhood of sixty years ago. Today there is not half the fun around election time as there was in those days when votes were often sold to the highest bidder. The purchaser was able to check up his tally because there was open, voting. A ..A.......- 1..
