Mr. Levi iVunis was eecrtod by the electors of South Darlington te go inte the conneil fer that lecality aîîd thec choice is a good ene. It was expeet- cd the other od mernbers-Messrs. Fos- ter, Brown and Pascoe would bave been returned by acciaaîatien, as they> deserve to be. fer withouî prejndice te any other men, judging tbem by thelr record, no better councileors could be fennd in the township. Mr'. Brown is a most capable business man at the Board and frem bis long services as as- sessor, knews the township thoroughly. Hle explains in a very frank and satis- factery. mauner bis position oni the school section grants. Mr'. Foster is au- other capable businîess mnan, cautions and careful aud has the highest i capeet of those who knowlm best. Thu'elec- ters ini bis ewn ward have signed a pti- tion requesting his return, Mr. Pacoe bas shown his ablity for the position bv! bis year~s service and should also be tee tnrned. These men are familiar wlIth the cas e now pending in the court wî th Mr'. W. L. Law, and shenld be elected te guard the township's interest there, These men with Mr. Anuls should ahi be returned.
