OUR FIN4NOEe.—The financial state-
ment for 1896 has been issued, duly
certified to by Reeve Cox and Trea•
surer J. E. Whitely. The expenditure
amounts to something like $14,000,
while there is a balance of nearly
$1,100 in favor of the township.
The showing is favorable to our rulers
and speaks well for the good old
township of Goderich.
THE COMING ELECTIONS.—It is the
•sincere wish of a great many electors
that' past bickering in manioipal
matters be discarded and that all work
to elect one representative from Gode-
rioh townebip to the County Council
for this District. Clinton and Gode-
rich tow;eehip being so closely identi-
fied, the town cannot do better than
assist in the election of township
nominee John Cox. Personally,
Gabriel Elliott was my choice, but I
am quite willing to support Cox since
he is the nominee and because he has
proved himself to be a painstaking,
faithful and economical representative.
The very beet ohoice should be made
to represent us in the Township
Council.

result of the ballott was in
favor of Mr. Cox, who after-
ward addressed the . meeting for
a short time. The best of order pre•
veiled throughout the meeting. The
chairman mode a few complimentary
remarks and the meeting closed.

satisfaction, For the new Council

Among the likely candidates are:—
For reeve, James Connolly and John
