We have sent to your homles 52 newsy numbers of TUE STATES- xAN the past year. We have spared noither labor nor expense to make our papur interesting to younig and old.

THE SIATESMIAN neyer takes second place. t will continue to lead al competitors as a medium for the promio. Iio of the interests of the district in ,xhich it circulates and for conveyiug the district news to ail parts of thie world. We promise you, friends, that, if spared, we ýshall strive to make TiF STATESMAN evenmiore worthy of your patronage than it has ever been. May we not reasonably expect that ïiear1y- nU of-yûu-will-renew your-Bub.- iicriptions for 1893?t is for us always an iinpleasant thing to renmove from our liat the nain of a subscriber. In going over the addresses once a iveek as we do ivhen nmailing THE STATESANIthe work we always perfori personally u lien at the office, we get famiiliar Nvith eve ry tiaine to which the paper is rnailed, hience to remnove a naine froi or lsb i.i like parting withi a familiar frîend. We ai- wvays fuel more interest too in the w cif re îa subscriber than ini a person îvho i, isot. We regard a subsriber a3 ý friund and we maturally treat him or her as a Iriendshould be treated when opportun- ity offers.

Se far no new candidates have publicly announced theiseives lu this riding. In Darlington we hear of probable op- poition to Reeve Srnale, but the electors neem anxions that lie shahl fil the posi- tion one year more. Ail are agreed that ne man outside of the present -council should attempt to oppose him. New men houid begin at the lowest position and work upwards. In Bowmanville thers is an effort being made b>' a few persons to break up what tiisy say is a "n" in the present council, but no men have so far shown bravery onough to announcu theinscîves for their positions. ~There is a general desire that sonre new men should enter tfliceuncil. For the West Ward the naines of Messrs. J. Mc- Murtry, 3..0. Vanstone and J. Percy are favorabiy mentioned. In the North Messrs. J. K. Galbraith, L.
