Wingham merchants, whose advertise-
ments appear in the columns of this
paper have well-atooked stores -goods
of every kind, with holiday specials
arriving almost daily. They deserve
the liberal patronage not only of citi-
zens of the town, but also of the sur-
rounding country. By supporting
home merchants the money is left
here for further looal development. A
visit to the stores of advertisers will
convince intending purchasers that
goods are sold at prices remarkably
low, and in some lines, lower than in
the city.

MUNICIPA MATTERS.
Two weeks from .:xt Monday will be
municipal nomineti n day and as yet
we have heard very ittle as 10 who are
likely to serve on he Council and as
Water and Light 0 missionera. It is
no use to here rape -t the old phrase -
"Good men are need .d in the positions."
Ratepayers should consider that the
corporation's busine s is their business,
If they will but ap.ly individual judg-
ment to the same e : tent they would if
they were seeking ,alp in transacting
their own private affairs, they will
readily understand he advisability of
inducing the men 1 : ely to render the
most efficient servi a to come out as
candidates. Men w • o are independent
thinkers, who are e • ergetio and willing
to study looal condi Vons, and who have
a practical knowled e, that would be of
advantage to the own, ought to be
encouraged in the •fraction of seeking
municipal offices. The office -holder,
who has the courag: of his convictions,
even if his jndgme t be faulty at times,
will never fail o win admiration.
Honesty and eine rite are factors that
ought not to be o rlooked. It is up to
the ratepayers of ingham to see that
the very beet m n are elected to the
various positions.
For the positio of Water and Light
Commissioners, he only persons we
have heard as be ng in the field are J.
A. Morton and Geo. MoKenzie. For
the other offices e have not yet heard
of any person as eflnite candidates.
The ratepayers will have three impor-
tant by-laws on which to vote. The
waterworks by -I w is praotioally the
same as the one oted on a few weeks
ago. It will be found in another column
or this issue. Ingham needs water
for domestic pur•oses and if the by-law
is carried and the changes�made, the in-
creased reveno: should easily pay the
