T.HILL & CO ^:e:8:^^:8»5^:e:e:BKe:^ Conservative Convention The annual meeting of the Liberal Con.servative Association of East and Centre Grey, was held in the town ball on Friday afternoon last. Owing to the stormy weather ihe ulteudauce was not so large as it would have been under favoribls condititms. However, there were several from outside points in Eu. phrasia and Cullingwood township as well as a few from Artemcsia and Markdalo and probably what the meeting laclied in numbers was made up in quality, for the meeting was enthusiastic from start to finish. The President, Mr. Thos. Kella, of Vandeleur, was present and took the chair. He stated the object of the meeting and after electing Maj )r Edward Rorke, Recording Secretary, pro torn the elec'ipn of officers was proceeded with as follows : Presidentâ€" Dr Scott, Maxwell. Vice Pres. â€"Samuel .McNight, Epping. Rcc. Sec â€" W Turner, Maikdale. Troas â€" ,)no. W. Kenny, Hoalhcote. CorreapomiingSecrelariopâ€" W. Broese, Chatsworth; R. L. Mortimer, Shelburne; Major E. Rorke, Thornbury. Dep. Vice-Prosidontsâ€" Thornbury, A. Campbell; Collingwood Ip , Geo. Badijer; Osproy, Jos. Ferguson ; Mealord, A. C. Todd; DundalU, S. Bull; Euphrasia, Jas. McConnoll ; Holland, Jas. GilleH|.ie ; Sullivan, Wm. Pringle; Arteraesia, H. McLouj/hry; Markdale, S. L. Halhorl. Auditorsâ€" J. F. Korr and Jas. Rorke, Heathcote. The President, Mr. Thos. Kells, then left the chair, but before doing so, he ihankud the Conservatives for h(moring him vrith the office of President of the Association fur the past twenty four years. He had ondeai^ored during that time to further the interests of the '^ity, and he Uianked the Cuiiservativea for the assist- ance given hiiH in hw duties. He hoped bis successors in otHce wcvuld meet with ihe same courtesy front the membors iii the Association and that prosperity would tiond their eflorts. Dr. Sproule, the senior member for th» ridinx, than rose to his (uui alid ajsike lu highest terms of Mr. Kulls as an'^tllicer and a gentleman. lie, ns a representative of the ridinij, had an opporiuiutyuf learning hismany good qualities, both in ofikwand out of it, and it was doubtful if the As- sociaiion wiiulil ever get a president who would do as much for the giiod of the party, as had the retiring piBflident. Hi* y.jan of office l^d a telling etfuct and he bfslieved when a giKxl. etiijient ottiour was f. Ill lid heithoulii ntii be removed from uth.-e. Uuford takinij^ his teat, the Dr., on b'ihalf of the Coiiimrvat^ive Associ«ti<)n C K tst and Centre Urey,. preseiiied Mr, K<.-lis wich a ijold headed cane, buaring the following inscription : "To Thos. IJLelU from thp Liberal Couserv.tive Association of East and Centre Grey, on his retirement as President, 1903" Mr. Kells was so taken by surprise that he could hardly find words to express his feelinas. It was an unex[)ected gift, he said, and would bo prized very highly. He did not know that he had done any- tliina to merit the uift, but had merely performed the duties pertaining to the office. Short speeches followed by Mr Lucas, the junitjr uiotnbeir, Messrs. T. H. Dyre and Arch' Campbell, all Rpeakiiiu of the faithful service Mr. Kells had given the party and that he was justly entitled to some recognition. After the presentation the Vice-Presi- dent, Mr, S. J. McKnii<lit, of Eppiiip, took the chair. Dr. Spmule and Mr. Lucas addressed the gathering on the political questitnis of the day. Other importiint business was tran.sacted aud at the close of tlir meeting chose pro^oiit were i:ivited to dine with the Thornbury members of the Asssciationat the Revere House. â€"Herald I Tlesberton Furniture t lUarerooms.
