Taylor. adjourned until Tuesday evening, for the purpose of hearing the candidates express their views. The adjourned nomination meeting was held in the Town Hall on Tuesday evening. At seven o'clock Mr. T. H. McCallum was called upon to take the chair and the meeting was opened for the discussion of school matters. The old trustees, Messrs. P. Frayne, H. Huston and %V. J. Carling in turn ad- dressed the meeting and spoke on the good work being done, the good staff of teachers employed and the excel lent discipline under which the school was governed. They were followed by Messrs. Bawden, Pickard and Man- son, the other aspirants to a place on the hoard. Mr. Bawden criticized the school work and the action of certain trustees and certain teachers regard- ing the matter of the expulsion of his son. Ile also stated that rumor con- nected Mr. Fruyle's nauu' with wrong- fully using his position for his own benefit, which Mr. Frayne character- ized as not true. At this 1 ' t Mr. Bawden wished to read certain apolo- gies. and immediately 11 storm arose, and his time being up the reading of same fell to Mr. Pickard. who did so after first explaining his connection s utln[lerst anl- with the case, and the m ing by which his name was to appear on the ballot. Mr. Manson spoke briefly on school matters and expressed It wish that a snow storm would bury the old trustees on election day. Mr. Samuel Mar tin on rising claimed that James Bawden was expelled for other reasons than those claimed by Mr. Bawden. Mr, Frayne and Mr. Huston then replied explaining their stand in school matters with particular refer- ence to the case of expulsion. Having vacated the chair Mr. Mc- Callum was asked to resume it and continued the meeting for the discus- sion of municipal hatters. The aspir- tints for the Iteeveship, Messrs. Lovett, Taylor and Bolder, were rolled upon. in the absence of Reeve Bissett, Mr. Lovett read over the t eeapihulttioft of receipts and ezpen(liturescontained in the financial statement. Ile then ad- dressed the meeting and advocated ad- vertising fur industries, securing bet- ter railway facilities, a nrw' sewer on the west side of Main street, and the use of broken stone instead of gravel 00 the roads. Mr. Taylor said that if elected he would submit to the council for consideration such platters as sewer improvement with an appropriation each year for payment of sante, ceas- ing of the increasing of the debenture indebtedness, the payment of work as it progressed, the doing of good work, improvement of walks particularly the laying of a granolithic walk on James street from Main to the James street church, the gathering and breaking of Held stone for rood purposes and the use of the stone crusher, the securing of a switch at a rrasonable cost, and a proper system of getting industries if possible. Mr. Bolder who suffered from a cold spike briefly of the need of a spur. the advisability of securing industries liy reasonable loans, and the need of uni((( and ambition among the business teen on all !natters. The five c.tndldates for seats as councillors were then invited to express their views, which they did in shut l speeches. al to the point. Mr. Enke thought wet had the best village in Canada, and that it. (King next to impossible to se• euro large manufacturing eoncetns, we should encourage the growing in- dustr•ies, Mr. Creech stated that he stood on his merits and, if elected, would give his best thoughts to the town's interests. Mr. Treble believed that the town would do well to elect him, and that he expected to be among the lucky ones on the lel. Mr. Heit- man was also brief, stating that he was not long•wietled but at good work- er and that as the young loan was wanted he was there to do the work and solicited the votes of the citizens nn his behalf. 1n the unavoidable ab- sence of Dr. Anderson, Mr. (Madman read it letter from the doctor. asking that he be supported and promising close attention to municipal Natters if elected.

Poplestone & Gardiner' ENTERTAINMENTS. -The school en- inment in the hall TI • d t ui ht tens ruts y K was n decided success in every partic- ular, those taking part doing nicely. The hall was well field, despite the dark evening. The teachers, Mr. Mc- Lennan and Miss Koehler, w'hc were the sole managers, roust feel gratified at the results. Last week being the last of the school days. prior to the Xmas. holidays the little tots in Miss Koehler's tiepin Orient took upon them- selves to give her a pleasant surprize before severing her connection with the school, which they did by collect- ing from the school mates a sura of money for which they bought a hand- 8onhe plate and filling it with choice cream candy on Thursday presented it to their tender, with a well worded address. Miss Koehler has been their teacher for the past year and by her kindly disposition had won the hearts of her scholars, who were indeed very sorry that she had decided not to teach next year. She will long be remem- bered by her little scholars. --It is with pride that we mention the success of the Xmas. entertainments rendered in our churches, Christmas Eve in the Lutheritin church 111111 on Christmas in the Evangelical church. The Lutherian church is much too small to accommo- date the people that would attend on such occasions. Many who would at- tend but for crowding out some of the congregation thus kept away. Those who were present speak in high terms of the entertainment and the interest taken in same. Of the Evangelical en- tertainment words fail Inc to express myself clearly, being ns I WILS one of the committee, who felt the responsi- bility and knew of the ins 1rx1otlte of every particular. We simply say the ente'r'tailllllentin its entirety was one grand ringing success. Those taking part in the platform exercises and also all who were asked to assist in any way went to work with n will. Spec• int mention should be made of the ex- cellent service rendered by the choir, whose singing was simply grand, no discordant voices being he:ud. The solos, !Netts and quartet ts were well chosen and flttingly rendered. Your hun)hle serihr, on behalf of the man- aging committee, herewith thank all who so nobly went into this work and by whose efforts carried it to so sac' cessful an issue, The proceeds amount- ed to $52,40.
