Wingham Council.
The first meeting of Wingham Town
Council for 1902 was held on Monday
evening, and minutes may be read in
another column. The indications are
that the Council will prove as efficient,
as if each member had gained his seat
by a hard-fought contest. Mayor Van -
stone will no doubt be not only faith-
ful in guarding the interests of the
town, but capable and agreeable.
Coun's. Holmes, Bell, Mclndoo and
Irwin have had sufficient experience
at Wingham Council tabic to serve
them to a good purpose this year.
Conn's. VanStone and Elliotthave also
had municipal experience, the former
having served in Brussels, and the
latter in Clifford. None of them have
any personal interests to gain nr "axes
to grind," and their efforts to further
the interests of the town and transact
its business should be appreciated by
those who are benefltted by the expen-
diture of thought and time, on the
part of members of the Council.

This popular opera was well rendered
on Monday evening, and the attend-
ance was very satisfactory. The en-
tertainment is an excellent one, and
tree from objectionable features. The
troupe was at a disadvantage in having
lost two siugere and their accompanist
recently. The substitute for the latter
was unequal to the task, and hence the
vocalists were unable to sing with the
same expression and effect. The tab-
leaux were excellent, many of the
scenes being very touching and im-
pressive. We learn since that the ac-
companist received her discharge next
morning. The church choir will have
abort $25, as their share of the pro-
ceeds, to apply to the Organ fund of
the new church. Mr. Bennett, mana-
ger of the troupe, was a resident of
Wingham many years ago, and prac-
tised dentistry here.
