MANY -CALLED BUT FEW CHOSEN

Or. try one more year with 'H. B.
FOR REEVE
After serving in Councilv five years
The reeve's chair should be Billy
Greer's.
He played the game well,
But yon never can tell,
Monday night he may shed bitter tears
Ms a thing you Would scarcely be-
lieve ,
That IVfack again wants to be reeve
The shoes he might fill,
But the hat, not until
You can dip the dam dry with a sieve.
FOR COUNCILLORS
The hired man's hero, Bill Haney,
Will get there as likely as any.
You may trust your own Bill
The office to fill,
A jolly sight better than many,
And Mitchell, dispenser of drugs,
Is a horse who pulls well in the tugs.
He sometimes may slip,
And perhaps need the whip,
But he safer than most other plugs.
,
Then Smith who last year came in
first,
May be pleased, now to not be the
worst.
To keep himself trim,
He should rub up each limb
With buttermilk bought froin Josh
Hirst.
Hands up for brave Davie, the piper!
They're few who are older or riper.
True Scot, hell stand last,
And fight to the last,
If he isn't laid low by a sniper.
When Tommy Fells Starts in the race,
He usually, hits a fast pace „
So look out for his dust,
.For admit you must,
He is likely to win in the race.
And Bennett's again in the field,
With his wounds from last year scar-
cely healed,
He puts up a good' fight,
When he knows he is right,
And when he got licked never squealed
FOr Wilkinson now, just a line;
He says that- the water is fine.
He is right in the swim,
Iltere are no "specs" on him
And if licked won't go into decline.
John Hanna has pUt up his sail (or
sale) .
TO weather the stormiest gale.
He wants so I'm told,
The ladies to hold,'
Aed says, then, he never can fail.
'A surprise on the town may be sprung
If the people elect Leslie Young
If he has a 'fault
We. can cure it with salt
If we place thim thewhiners among.
Save a vote too for Chesterfield Fry,
On whose cushions tis pleasant to lie.
He's now at the game
But still, just the same,
Perhaps we should give him a try,
Bob King is among the new men,
Who have heard the lions roar it
their den.
To keep the town good
.(We must have new blood,
Or, when Amos deserts us, what then?

Grand 013 Lady Passes
On the evening of l'htirsday, Nov.
22nd., there passed away in her 85th
year, Louisa E. Wright, beloved wife
of the rate Peter Fisher, Post Master.
The deceased was numbered among
those resolute souls now scarcely to
be found, who came from Guelph,
with her late husband as the first
bride to Wingham and was one of the
few who now remains of the old resi-
dents to look back on those early days
of pioneer life in the bush country.
Days of prosperity never fotind her
inflated. with pride nor did days of ad-
versity find her lacking in fortitude.
She was a devoted member of the Bap-
tist Church and for over twenty years
the beloved president of the Mission
