Some people are trying to find fault with the stewardship of Reeve Beck because the County Treasurer's salary was increased. But our worthy Reeve is not the responsible party. He was Warden at the time and the County Council is responsible, not the Warden. It would be about as reasonable to charge a judge with giving a verdict without reviewing the evidence, as to held orir Reeve responsible in this Case. Beck is the man for Colborne and people should not give currency to matters that be is in no way responsible for. The Hon. J. C. Patterson, M. P. for West Huron, will tnake a painstaking and efficient Minister of Militia. • 8l�tsels, • , $ng,,b a pees is looking nllr Dap Mu pnatd *o*e ,f,auWing T.

SOCIAL STRUGGLERS. --Ane of the most interesting phases of American life is found in the struggles for social supremacy which are constantly taking plaeein the ever changing conditions of society in the larger cities.

Side i by side with the fortunes of those, who have so much money that the. most serious concern of life becomes. the question of how to spend,is a discussion of the fortunes of those with whom the question is how to provide the necessaries of life.
