T1IE MUNICIPAL SLATE
An t he time for municipal notnslatlona
draws near the names of probable can-
didates ale being In• :,t:o::rd. Ut th • .,Id
counell there will probab:y be only two
seeking re-election, Messrs. W Jehnd
and W. J. Beaman, both nem of erper
ience and ability. Messrs. Fiske :and
Knight wish 10 retire altt,ou;h friends
are urging them to eland for re-elec-
tion. For a time It was tnou;l.t that
the contest for h,e e• resale vruuld b�
betwceh ateliers,. .loans and ileainan,
but when Messrs. T. H. McCallum and
Williarn I3awdee definitely decided to
enter the tight for the reeve's chair the
former two gentlemen decided to re-en-
ter the field for toe council. Besides
the two mentioned aspirants to the
recvtsttlp the present reeve. A. Q. Bobler,
may get In the game at any moment:,
althcu;h it !baa peen generally under-
stood that he wars retiring tats year.
Just who would lat.d the prize In a
three -cornered fight w.3uld be very -un-
certain. even as It is under any chemin
stances. Botl-h have occupied the chair
In former years and both are xperlcnced
canva seers. But the old saw holds good
"There le nothing so uncertain as an
election." Of new blood for tit- coun-
cil several have been mentioned, among
them Messrs. W. J. Carling, C. 11. San-
ders, Chrlb. Luker, but they have not
signified their intention of seeking elec-
tion.
Of the Sc;toc•1 Trustees Messrs. Frank
Wood, R. N. itowe and Samna Martin
go out this year and it Is believed they
will all seek re-election. Rev. D. W. Col -
11118, N. D. Ilurdon, T. 13. Carling, J.
A. Stewart, I. 11. Carling and 11. NI
Creech aro mentioned, but here again
nothing definite is known, ae the new
men have not declared tlreutaelvea.
In Stephen it seems to be certain that
Nicosia. Jacob Kellernlann and Win. And
croon will contest the reeveship. They
had a fight for the deputy reeveship last
year, the rest of the council being elect-
ed by acclamation It is believed that
the paints; rive, Mr. Stephen Webb, will
no: he in the field this year. For the
deputy -reeve's chair Messrs. W. D.
Sanders, Fred. Wuerth and William
Yearley have been prominently mention -
cd. For counrliiors Mr. Byron Hicks
and a number of the forever mentioned
gentlemen are spoken of. One thing
seems certain and that 1s that tier:
will be an election it that townehip.
Messrs. John Iielbridge, Jothi Moir,
Robert Gardiner and Joseph Hawkins,
the present reeve, are supposed to be in
the Held for the reeveship In Usborne
township. Nomination day will. how-
ever. likely see this simrtior down to
Messrs. Moir and Gardiner. In e:"ter
case a good conteeit is in ata.; for the
chief chair. For councillors Messrs. At-
kinson and Routley are again in the
field. Mr. Fred Ellerington is also
prominently mentioned, an is also Mr.
Sidney Andrew, and u tdoubtedly many
Others are being conetderrd.

OI•IITUARY.-This week we must re-
cord the death of little Etbilda Me -
Isaac. of wbom we have before men•
tioned as being sick, which bad event
occurred on Friday at 7.30 p.w. The
cause:nt' her death wail diabitis of
which she had been ill some three
months and while all the while failing
in flesh and strength she was around
the house as usual till Wednesday
when she was compelled to take her
bed and then it was that she seemed to
give up hope saying, "mamma, 1 be-
Iteve I am going to die" which was
only too true as elle passed away as
above stated. She was of a bright and
cheerful disposition and was beloved
by all. especially in the home and by
her little companions where she will
be much missed. She was laid to rest
on Tuesday morning under the rites of
the R.C. church in their burying plot
at Mt. Carmel. We commend the
mourning ones to Him who said "Suf-
fer the little children to conte unto me
and forbid them not for of such is the
kingdom of Heaven " and hope and
pray that finally there may be a grand
reunion in that home beyond this life.
