The mayor, in his address, gave a lucid and comprehensive report of the finances of the town, and of the work done by the council during the past year, and the record is one to be proud of. Mr. B.B. Gunn was also nominated for the may- oralty, but resigned in favor of Mr. Scott, leaving him elected for a second term by acclamation. Three candi- dates were nominated for the reeveship, Messrs. James Beattie, Robert Wilson, and James Watson. but the two latter having resigned, Mr. In the Years Agone Beattie gets the position by acclamation. The chief con- test this year will be for the deputy-reeveship. The pre- sent deputy -reeve, Mr. Wm. Smith, will be opposed by Mr. Noble Cluff.

Incoming mail was equally heavy. "It was the heaviest Christmas mail by far, in my twenty-four years as Postmaster," Mr. Sills stated, as he expressed appreciation of the manner in which the public had cooperated in mailing early and in prepar- ing Christmas cards in bun- dles. Neil Broadfoot, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Broadfoot, was awarded a gold wrist watch last week, to mark his having been chosen as the member of the Eaton Hamilton Good Deeds Club, who carried out the best good deed during the Christmas season.

Laragh asked divine blessing on council deliberations. Pointing out that while election to council was a great honor, Father Laragh said at the same time it imposed a great responsi- bility. It is most difficult in the art of politics to be honest he said and recalled the fall of Ontario cabinet ministers who after so many years had become careless. This recognition of honesty must be the great principal which must underlay and guide your every decision, he told councillors as he referred to Mayor Sills who he said he made his reputation on hon- esty.
