Chriebrmes and Now Year foativities are not cele- brated in the .ams manner now as in yea s gone by, at Meet what used to be the rule is now the exoept:on. In "ye olden times" the bottle was uppermost, every act was rnrried out 111 a "spirited" fashion, so bo speak, and if such were 1101 supplied in profusion all p uceedings wore declared off, notwithstanding goose, tur- key and dumplings to the contrary. Now itis quite different, the bottle is found, as Or general tiling, in so many pieces 1)1 the chip yard, and what used to be a pleasure to some andrief to others 13 11.1W 11, :1W pleesi110 to all. Another matter 1 will ;monk of and that is 8)1010 fence. Of late years, or since the township lta1 boon pretty wen cleared, a heavy 1101 of 0110V1 followed by te high wind is a nalamity. Such a misfortune has lutpponed 1'eeeatly, and people havet,l resort to digging ant the roads or tearing fences and take to plow- ed fields in. order to got to market, to a funeral or to the ehmroho. Now, ate all this trouble awl risk Nebel] 'here is a simple reluody 4 The Legiolat. re of ('lie Yrovinoo has given the Councils of 1llun- inipalities, 511011 as Grey, power to enact by-laws to compel property holders to erect snow or wire fences along highways and to make a portion of the coat of melt £0noes a tax on the public, and T think this is 00 it should be. I believe to io just as reasonable to levy a tax to bnild wire fences to make rho roads passible in winter as to grade and gravel the same roads in simmer. A good many have built wire fences on rho roads leading past their places during the last two or three years, but the progress is dew cont pared with the amount that ought to bo done in order that the benefit be more univeral. I believe little or no fault would be found if our Council would bo more liberal in this r005eot in future and even resort to compeloory immures in inotanoes where such would be neeessay. By the way, eine my last wo, in Groy, passed through the turmoil of two gener- al elections, I mute the. Provincial and tho Municipal election% and, as yon fore- mentioned, we gave a largo majority on the Side of Provincial right0. -The munic- ipal olootion wes also a lively affair, as I anticipated, and the result to those who wore quietly looking of was not surpris- ing, Somehow about election theme there is a number of divides take piece. Tho Arse and most important of *met is the North against the Sont11. Then the South is divided against itself. It ie said that a house divided against itself will not thrive, so the South 0anuot be in a thriving condition, espooially at election time. Then there is another element, who will, in the first place, make their ohoico for Reeve and then will only sup- port such of the other 00nd1idate0 as work and vote for said Reeve. Now, nth pro.
