Campbel , of West Wawa - nosh and W. J. Horne of East Wawa - nosh. Messrs. Patter on, and Young have resigned and the contest will be between Messrs Brad in, Currie, Lock- hart and McQuillan. No. 8, Iiowick, Turnberry and Wroxeter—Robt. Mill r, of Turnberry, Samuel Ferguson, of owick, Andrew Doig, of Howick. The election will t:. e place on the same day as munioip: election—Mon- day, January 2nd—and for county coun- cillor electors may vo e twice for one candidate, or vote one for two candi- dates.. Six members . the old County Council are not seeking e•eleci,ion, viz :— Messrs. Jas. Connolly, of No. 2; Hicks, of No. 4; B. B.. Gun , of No, 6; Jas. 13owman and W. H err of No. 6, and Donald Patterson, of No. 7. Mr. Pat- terson has been a r reseutative from No 7, for the past eig t years. Messrs. Kerr and Bowman ha e been representa- tives of No 6 for six ears and on only one occasion did they have opposition. Both of these gentlem u have beeu War- den during the past t m and have now retired so that the honors may pass around. We congrat late Mr. lsbistar in his election by ace] lu ttion as repre- sentative for his divi t n. He has had many years munioi 1 experience, the past six as Reeve o Morris. He will make a good County ouncillor. In this division, N 7, the four condi dates in the field hay had considerable municipal experience John T Carrie is ex -Reeve of East awanosh and was for many years a me ber of the. Coun- cil. Of the four can idates hs is the one nearest resident of W ngham. Mr. Currie was a candidate two years ago and we feel that he is entitled to the support of the electors of the , ivision. A. E. Brad - win is an old Wi gham boy and is a brother chip in the newspaper business, being editor of the lyth Standard. He is a young man wit a great deal of push and atnbition and w uld, without doubt, make a good repres ntative. MM►tthew Lockhart has been . representatibe for the past four years. ' = any electors feel t :at he and Mr. Patt: son did not move promptly enough in 11 : Zetland bridge matter. Mr. Lockhar has now had all the honors of municipal . olitics and many feel that he should give place to others who are well qualified or the position. Of Mr. McQuillan it ma be said that is a man of considerable in , nicipal experi- ence. having been Reeve of West Wawa - nosh during the past ye, and a member of the council for some ' ears. In No. 8, Messrs. Mil :r and Fergu- son are the old represent: tives and Mr. Doig is also in the field The old re- presentatives will probabl be re-elected. Mr. Miller has for years • :en a member of the County Council an, he is likely to be elected Wardeu for .:xt year if he is successful in the divis .n. He is a good representative and t • e ratepayers should make sure of his e action. Morris Pionee Dead. On Tuesday morning another of the Morris pioneers passed • way in the per- son of Robert Warwio =, in his 75th year. The deceased was a na ive of Scotland, and Dame to this coun y when a young man, first settling at _•• i th's Falls. For the past forty-three y.art; he has been a resident of Morris. .hardy after com- ing to this part he in : rried Miss Allen, of Hullett. The lat Mr. Warwick was of a quiet, reserve • manner, a great reader, and was we 1 informed on the public questions of the day. He was universally esteems for his integrity and nprighthess. I politics he was a staunch supporter o the Liberal party, and in religion a Pr sbyterian. For the past twenty-five ye: ' s he has held the position of school tr, tee in his section, daring the past few ears of which time he has been secret: y -treasurer.
