perhaps the attendanee of spectatOrs was
hardly as large, there were quite as many, if
not more, present in costume, 'and in all
style's from the stately queen to the playful
clown. One costume, , or rather a combin-
ation,made plenty of fun! Mr.Dave Stewart
was rigged out as a bear,' while Mr. Arehur
Forbes as an Irishme.n, lead his bearship
around' by a chain, making lots of sport.
The ice was in good rcondition and the
skaters enjoyed themselves to the full, while
the band discoursed appropriate music. The
two mile race was an exciting one, and was
won by Hearn; of Stratford, with M. Mc-
Leod, of Goderich, second. The prize wini

warmly thanked his colleagues for their
kindly worded addresenind beautiful pres-
ent. NVhat ever services he had been able
to render the band were given as a. labor of
love and not with the expectation of receiv-

DEATH OF MAYOR SCOTT.—Mr. Robert
Scott, Mayor of Seaforth, died at hie reel-.
dence,1 Goderich street, on Wednesday
morning last. Mr. Se tt, never a very rig-
ged man, was proat ated about a month'
ago by an attack f- ulceration of the
stomach. This, toget er with a complica-
tion of other diseases, hioh set in towards
the last, proved fatal, despite the most per-
sistent efforts of the best medical skill. For
several days he was unconseious, so that the
sad event was not a hurprise either to his
friends or to the publi6. Mr. Scott was a
comparatively young man, being only 41
years of age. He was the youngest son of
the late Robert Scott, of Burnside. Ferm,
MoKillop, where he was born. Some ten or
more years ago he retired from the farm,
and came to reside in Seaforth, engaging in
the seed and feed business, in which he was
very successful. For several years he men -
pied a seat in the town council, and in
January, 1897, he evas elected Mayor by ac-
clamation, and in January last was again
re-elected without opposition. His sound
common sense, together with his good busi-
ness ability, integrity and geniality of man-
ner, made him not only a useful and com-
petent official,but won him the confidence and
respect of all who came in contact with him.
He was one of the beet and most popular
Mayors Seaforth has evar had. In private
life he wee genial and true; and was a friend
who was worth having. His death is a
public loss, and will be deeply regretted, not
alone by a large circle of relatives and warm
friends, but by the citizens generally. He
leaves a widow, but no family. The funeral
takes place this (Friday) afternoon, when
all the stores and other business places will
be closed.
MR. BETHUNE SITSPENDED.--M (1011 sur-
prise and indignation was felt by. our citi-
zens generally on Monday last, on it becom-
ing noised abroad that Mr. Bethune, agent
of the Grand Trunk Railway at Seaforth,
had been dismissed and that another offieial
had been sent here to take his place. We
have not had any communication with Mr.
Bethune on the subject, but we learn from
the most, reliable authority that the rumored
dismissal is incorrect and that Mr. Bethune
has only been suspended and that he will
like*, be re -instated. The &tits of the cage
are, that _ever since the dismissal of Mr.
John Edinonds, Mr. Bethune has been
working short handed at this station, and
found it impossible to attend to shippers as -
promptly and ;satisfactorily as formerly.
Complaints were made by some shippers
that they could not get their shipments
handled as proMptly and as 'satisfactorily
as they would like. Instead of making an
investigation to ascertain where the fault
lay, an under official of the company sent a
most offensive and insulting letter to Mr.
Bethune, and to whioh he replied not as
courteously as he would have done had
he been appealed to in a proper
manner. For writing this letter 'in his own
defense, he has been euspended. Mr. Beth-
une has represented the company h.ere for
twenty years. By his obliging and courte-
ous manner he has won the esteem and re-
spect not only. of the citizens of Seaforth
generally but of all who do business with
the company. No man could serve his em-
ployers more faithfully or efficiently than
he has done. He hal worked night and day
for them,and while making the company's in-
tereste his interests, has pleased and sada-
fied the public. In fact no man in our midst
is held in higher esteem, and it would be an
act of the grossest injustice for the company
to dispense with his services simply
because he can not accomplish tin -
possibilities. We would say to Mr. Hays
the manager th 't he otsuld not do a more
unpopular ae't th n to permit the dismissal
of so popular and faithful an official, and in
saying this we know we are speaking the
sentiments (Ohs entire community without
a single exacistion. We make this state-,
ment more in the interests of the company
and the town than in Mr. Bethune's inter-
ests and we trust it will be considered b.y
the railway authorities in the same spirit in
which it is offered.

NOTES,—March came hi lamb -like and
was a good day for the election; but rather
rough for the Government. Hardy got a
good pulling down, but what can Whitney
do if he did get in. He says the Province
is deep in debt and no surplus at all to start
with. Surely he will come out at the small
end of the horn. East Huron is safe. Mr.
Mooney could not even hold his own township
ship, although. he boasted of one hundred
of a majority. Mr. Hislop made a good run
for a beginner. Some seem to think the
new bridge at Sunshine had something to do
with the election. At the township hall in
Mr. Mooney's own ward Mr. Hinkle
had a majority of seven and twenty-eight
in the township. A well known Conserva-
tive neat' Blyth says he told Mr. Mooney all
along not to stand as a candidate in East
Huron but Mr. Mooney said he would catch
,lots of Grit votes that no othen man would
catch. He knows now what he caught.
Never for a great number of years were the
electors so early at the polling places. The
new house will have at leeet one Barber in
it, Ithe Liberal member elect for Halton.
There will be a pair of Reids, and a Kribb.
It is the opinion of a OW many that Mr.
Becks majority will vanish away like a
flower yet. Things look quite brown in
North Perth.—While, walking through the
house OD. Sunday morning last, Mrs. Meikle -
John fell and hurt her face on the stove

hope she will be able:to be about soon again.

we trust that he ill soon be all right
again.—The electio s are over and it is
hardly worth while dwell OR the matter,
but we must say t at the defeat of Mr.
McLean in South uron and the defeat of
Mr. Magwood in No th Perth, goes to prove
that more than ord nary abiliby counts for
little in the heat of n election contest.

How we Feel
About It.
There is comfort in trading when 3rou.,

them for yourselvee ; where courteous
and obliging assistants are ever ready
to answer your questions, and to make
looking and buying easy for you. We-
are early with aping goods, because we
want to get familiar with them our-t-

to us, because it is upon your judgment
of the new- things that we base outs.
For that reason we would like to tare=
