Speaking at the Presbyterian ban- quet to the „soldiers in Walkerton a few weeks ago, Reeve George Ander- son of Lucknow stated that he loved the ladies so much that he was glad hie wife wasp's here to hear him, and who after sighing because the women didn't have the ballott to run affairs, sat down while the girls blushed at the Lave he bore them. Nor was it a case of Beauty and the Beast, for George's looks are not the worst part of him. However, Walkerton ladies are soon to see how George will treat their Lueknow sisters, for over in that burg the question of licensing a pool room ie now up, and as it is a well known fact that in local option towns a pool room'.. is sorer to the women than a blind boil, the Reeve's attitude on this mat- ter will show whether his love for the sisterhood is at strong as he said it was in Walkerton, Not only did he round up the Grit vote at the last' municipal election, but he is also said to have _ed at the sports who w in is p wanted a little snore scope in town. The sports are said to be putting it up to him until be le probably now going after this pool room question, mush like the,hnnter who didn't know whe- ther he was chasing tho bear or the beer was cbaetng hits around the tree. At the Lncknow Sentinel, which may bo taken as the mouthpiece of Aud- erson, has veered around from oppoe• in thepool room as i former years, ing o n y y to giving it a meet favorable raw: - tion now, It is probably merely grecs. ing the way for George to slide down easy on thle question, and to do with grace what certainly meat jar the ladiee whom he soya he loves.—Bruce Herald and Times, Local setas will be found on page 7.
