TUE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.
The indifference that has charac-
terized Winglutm voters in municipal
matters for the past few years was
shaken off this
yearand
nd th
e mun
ici
pal election for 1947 aroused ore
' This
interest
.rest T s to est
than ordinary into
on the part of the taxpayers wattritdi-
toted by a large attendance at the
Nomination. and also at the meeting
on Saturday
evening, as
well as
s by
the ucsiaons asked regarding thew
finances,
the electric light, eta„ and
the eagerness in getting out her vote.
The number of candidates in the
field for Councillors (eleven) was also
an indication of revived interest. The
candidates, too, when once in the field,
showed they desired to be elected, and
put forth every legitimate effort to
win. Even the very wet and dis-
agreeable day, failed to dampen the
enthusiasm, apd from early morning
until the available vote was polled,
there was no slackening of the effort.
Political party affiliations appeared
to cut little or no figure. Grits had
nominated and then supported Tories,
and Tories had done the same for
Grits. Generally speaking, a feeling
of good nature prevailed, each Candi-
date and his friends doiug their best
to win. The following is the vote by

THE DORE EY -LAW.
This By-law was so called because
Mr. Dore is at the head of the enter-
prise to be known as the Wingham
Carriage Co. The By-law provides
for the loan to the Oo, of $5,000 with-
out interest for ten years ; the loan is
repayable by annual instalments of
$500 each. It also authorizes a fixed
assessment (except for school purpos-
es). Me. Dore's work has already
more than a local reputation, and
with increased facilities, machinery
and capital, the Wingham Carriage
Works should become a busy hive of
industry. Building operations will be
commenced in the spring, and a brick
building 75x100 feet, two storeys high,
will be erected, power and machinery
installed. Those associated with Mr.
Dore are practical, every -day workers,
and we hope success will crown their
efforts. The vote was as follows :--

An Omission.
Last week, in mentioning the names
of the successful candidates at the
county Model Schools, we uninten-
tionally omitted. to mention the name
of Miss Mabel Ross, daughter of Mr,
and Mrs. Alex. Boss of Wingham.
Mabel made an excellent record, being
the only one from Wingham that
succeeded in taking honors. This is
all the more creditable, from the fact
that Miss Ross was laid aside for
several weeks of the terns with illness.
Mabel is a good student and merits
success.

A Former Resident.
The Advance is in, receipt of a letter
from James R. Wood, formerly of
Wingham, now of Innisfail, Alta. He
has been laid up with illness in Cal-
gary hospital since Oct. 26th last, and
passed through an operation success-
fully. He reports that he was well
taken care of by the Canadian Fores-
ters. Mr, Wood likes the West well,
and before he vas taken ill he made
$4 a day at the carpenter work ; he
expected to be able to work after Jan.
est. His son, William, is operator at
Innisfail station of the C. P. R.; the
two other boys are also making good
wages. The snow was about a foot
were carpenters were stril work-
ing outside at the time Mr. Wood
wrote, Dec. 28th. Land is rapidly ris-
ing in value, and tines are good.

Killed At Atwood.
A fatal accident occurred on New
Year's day, at Atwood station, by
which Harry Barber, son of Henry
Barber of Palmerston was instantly
killed. As the morning freight was
ready to pull out of the station at At-
wood, the engineer leaned out of the
cab waiting for the signal for the
signs
brakeman to go ahead, but no
of him could be seen. Walking back,
his body was found along side the
track, with the lower part of his face
crushed in., No one saw the accident,
bat it is supposed that the young man
slipped and that his head was crushed
by a passing wheel. The body was
sent home to Palmerston for burial.
The deceased was abort 21 years of
age and had been railroading for a
year and a half, running usually south
to Guelph. He took the Kincardine
run on New Year's dray for the first
time, to let another titan off on a. holi-
day. He was unmarried.

The first death at the new hospital
occurred on Saturday evening, even
before the hospital was opened. Who
was it t' No other than old. "January,"
Mr. Webster's faithful old horse, that
had seen over thirty years of service.
'Tis said he did not like the idea of
leaving his old home, in his old age,
and having come to the conclusion
that the "spice of life" for him at
least, was gone, he took his departure
from this world of toil. His familiar
ftgtire will be seen on the street no
more. This is a case where "Janauaey"
was gone before the sixth clay of the
month.

Necessary Changes.
The Teeswater News says :---"Tees-
water rtnd the other stations along
the Toronto-Teeswater branch of the
C. P. R. are likely to have better mail
service in the near future than they
have enjoyed in the past. Peter H.
McKenzie, M. P., was in town Thurs-
day and Friday in connection with
the movement set on foot by the vil-
lage council for a better postal ser-
vice, and he is of opinion that the ad-
ditional service wilt be granted. The
improvement asked for by the village
is that a snail service he put on the
outgoing morning train and on the in -
coining night t
train, This

The following from a Thessalon
paper refers to agralscl,con of Mr. and
51 is. Thos. Jewett of Bluevale :-"A
very sad distressing accident occurred
on Christmas day to mar the festivi-
ties of many of our citizens, more
especially that of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
Pugh, when it became known about
noon that their little son, Harry,
while skating with others on the bay
near the mouth of the river, had fallen
in and was drowned. The little fellow
in company with the young son of
Air. W. H. Lawson, had been playing
hockey and in their endeavor to reach
the. puck ventured too near the open
ice and both fell in. Young Lawson
was able to scramble back on the safe
ice while his unfortunate companion
sank to the bottom. A number of the
citizens were at once on the scene of
the accident and after grappling for
about three quarters of an hour the
body was brought to the surface and
conveyed to the home of the heart-
broken family. The unfortunate boy
was 14 years, 5 months and 20 days
old and was of a bright disposition
and beloved by all his playmates."
