ion. For his comfort and consolation
we will reply that it was partly on ac-
count of Mr. Eiiber's personal popular-
ly and then too the majority of the peo-
ple know the value of the man who
has so well conducted the affairs of the
+r
s so rtWe thought alI

along that this township would bo an
eye opener, but not to such an extent,
and we believe yet that had Mr. Mc-
Lean not introduced matters of tbe
Fire Insurance Company and had left
Mr. A, Bishop at home the majority
might not haye run away np out of
sight. Tom McMillan did little good
and no harm for the simple reason no
one could get at what he tried to tell
them and came to the conclusion he
didn't know himself. We hope the
past experience will teach all parties
in the future that its no use trying to
blur a man in a community where he
has proved himself for eighteen years.

'essie Keith's Sister Dead.
The 'Listowel papers announce the
death at her father's home on the lit
concessien of Elam, on Feb. 26tb, of Ida
Jane, eldest and only surviving daugh
ter of Wm. and Jane Keith, after a
number of months' illness. The de-
ceased had just entered upon the
tweutleth year of htsr age, having
been born on the 13th day of January,
1878. The death of an only surviving
daughter, who was of a bright and
cheerful disposition and the life of the
household, would under any circum-
stances be one of great sadness, but the
present case is particularly sad because
there is very little doabt but that her
early death is to be attributed very
largely to the terrible shock she receiv-
ed through the death of her sister Jessie
under eircuinstantiel with which the
whole country are only too familiar.

adelphia Inquirer, Sunday morning,
