Wingham Council for 1914 will be made up as follows: Mayor—Dr. A. J. Irwin. Reeve—J. Walton McKibbon. Councillors H. B, Elliott, Wm. Isbister, W. A. Currie, Alex. Young, W. G. Patterson, D. Bell. The Board of Education will be com- posed of:—T. A. McLean, Dr. R. C. Redmond, W. F. VanStone, J. A Mor- ton, Robt. 'Allen, F. Buchanan, A. Tipling and three members to be ap- pointed by the County Council. The first four gentlemen having received the highest votes are elected for two years and the other three for one year. Municipal election day on Monday was a very busy day for a large number of people. The weather was ideal and brought out a large vote. Last year, with a local option contest, a very heavy vote was polled, when 599 votes were east in the contest for Mayor and this year 557 votes were cast in this contest. It was felt by a large number of ratepayers that the contest for Mayor would be a close one and so it proved, Dr. Irwin winning out by a majority of only 17. For the Reeveship, Ex -Coun- cillor Mitchell made a record run and was only '27 behind Reeve McKibbon. Leaving ward two out of the count, Mr. Mitchell was in the lead by five votes. The contest for the Council was keen with H. B. Elliott at the head of poll and Councillor Isbister second. W. A. Currie, who made a good showing in the contest last year, was a winner on Monday by a safe margin. Councillors Young and Bell are i'e-elected and W. G. Patterson comes into the Council with a good vote. Councillor Boyce was the only old member of Council who went down. For new men, Messrs. Hinkley and Hanna, were well in the running. For- the Board of Education J. A. McLean heads the poll and Dr. Redmond second. The ratepayers have selected a good Board of Education and our schoals will not suffer in their hands. The opposition to the Walker & Clegg by-law was stronger than was thought, but the by-law carried by a good majority.

ELECTION NOTES. Elliott came back. The inaugural meeting of the Town Council will be held riextMonday morn- ing at 11 o'clock. The firet meeting of. the Board of Education will be held on Wednesday eveniug, February 4th. Hinkley made a good run. Only eleven votes short. W. A. Ctirrie found third place this year. A good change from seventh laat year. ,, 3 The new Connell is composed of six Conservatives and two Liberals. Six members of this year's Council are Presbyterians and two are Metho- dists. The new members of 1914 Council are Dr. A. J. Irwin, II. B. Elliott, W. A. Currie and W. G. Patterson. The two first named have served several years in council and municipal work is new to Messrs. Currie and Patterson. The "glad hand" was not such an important factor in this year's contest. Note the good vote received by men who did not make a .spereonal canvas. The Tams man has always been oppos- ed to the personal canvas and he is pleased that Monday's vote rather fol- lows up his line of preaching. Electors should be left free to make their own selections, The two candidates for Mayor were good men and many electors found dif- ficulty in making a selection. GREY—Reeve—R.

Sir James has enjoyed the respect and confidence of the peorle of Ontario dur- ing his Premiership and every person will wish him a complete recovery. Report of Officer of Health. Grey, Bruce, Huron, Perth, Water- loo, Wellington and Dufferin are the Counties comprising the domain of Dr. T. J, McNally, District Officer of Health, in which nirieteen municipali- ties had smallpox outbreaks during the year 1913. This information is con- tained in the report of the District Officer to the Provincial Board of Health, which goes on to state that in a district comprising 137 organized municipalities, including 80 townships, 27 villages, 27 towns and 'three cities, a complete sanitary survey was made of 31 towns and villages, 15 townships and one city. Dr. McNally does not rule over the health of a kingdom as wide in area as that in the northern part of the Province, but the denser population had rendered many of the sanitary problems more acute. Insanitary slaughterhouse conditions were righted in thirteen places. There were four- teen epidemics of communicable disease es other than smallpox during the year. Lectures, demonstrations and advice for the public weal are almost without number, and the first twelve months under the new law shows a gratifying improvement in local conditions. S. 0. S.

At the regular meeting of the A.Y.P.A. on Monday evening Miss Irene Davis, 13 A., gave a very interesting and well prepared paper on "The History of the Church in Britain before 430 A.D." Miss Davis very ably sketched the his- tory of the early churchrgiving an ac- count of the well organized church as early as 150 A.D., and showing the fallacy of the statements made in some of our histories that ths Church of Eng- land had its inception in the reign of Henry VIII. but that it began in the early dawn of Christianity.

Montgomery, Fordwich, was the scene of a pretty wedding, when their eldest daughter, Ida Octave, became the bride of Mr. W. J. Roberts, also of this village The ceremony which took place under an arch of evergreens, was performed by the Rev. J. W. Andrews, pastor of the Methodist church, in the presence of only the immediate relatives of the contracting parties. The bride, charm- ingly gowned in white, was given away by her father, After a daintily served dinner the happy couple left for a short trip to Toronto and other places, the bride travelling in a tailored suit of blue broadcloth, with hat to match. The numerous and costly gifts bespeak the good will felt towards the young couple. The groom's gift to the bride was a set of furs. ' The tremendous movement of live cattle and dressed meats from Canada to the United States, which has followed the adoption of the Underwood tariff bill on the other side, is shown by figures just received by the Department of Live Stock Commissioner. The figures are for the months of October and Novem- ber, when the rush was at its height. During October alone tio less than 35,000 live cattle and six million pounds of dress- ed meat left Canada for the United States. During Xoveniber the quantity was little decreased, Canada during both months providing by far the largest proportion of the Americanjtnports of these commodities Happy AND A Prosperous NEW YEAR [0 ALL, 18 OUR Sincere Wish, 1 cession Ir ormemeneasismumemmomma aisaa.
