Bowmanville. In the avalanche of ballots on Tan. 6th Lewis Cornish and John Grigg alone survive survive to continue the municipal struggle at the Board. In the opinion of manv the new members in appointing standing committees committees for 1913 treated these two survivors survivors from 1912 council'very disrespectfully disrespectfully indeed, sending Mr. Grigg to the "Cemetery" and Mr. Cornish to a Court of justice, and, as if to. further degrade him, attached him to the very tail-end of four committees. This kind of treatment of the man who headed the poll, and the one who has served the town municipally for nearly a quarter century was neither kindly nor courteous. Surely the new men could afford to be a bit more .magnanimous .magnanimous towards two colleagues so honored honored by the citizens. "Its a long lane that has no turning." Are you using Naismith's Bread If not try a. loaf TO-DAY. ; Fresh' every °* v morning. W. J. Bagoell bowmanville About the whiskey that "flowed like water" at South Ward polling booth. Who supplied that whiskey ? Surely no member of the 1912 council did it, and members of the Hillier-Tait ticket were all declared "in favor of local option." The independent aspirants are all temperance temperance men. Then who supplied that whiskey ? What single individual was so desirous of securing anybody's election that he would convert the seboolhouse privy into a barroom to dispense free whiskey ? Was it a Newcastle friend or a Bowmanville enthusiast ? Did those 7 or 8 cases that were said ti> arrive^ in "some mysterious way" come in as "pick- I les" like the Owen Sound shipment for election uses ? Perhaps John McConna- chie, Government License Inspector, will I investigate. It will be so easy to ascer- I tain who dispensed the liquor in the privy. The new mayor and council I should also make some effort to clear up this mystery. The good reputation of Bowmanville.is at stake. WHO WILL BE WARDEN ? Counties' Council meets Tan. 28. This year the wardenship comes to Durham as the warden is elected alternately from each county. By the defeat of Reeve Long of Port Hope and Reeve. James of Bowmanville, both of whom were aspirants, aspirants, only three candidates are in the field --A. A. Colwill, Newcastle; J. C. Kells, Millbrook; and Jos.: Hickson, Manvers. All are Conservatives. But po litics do not cut much ice at Counties' Council. All are men of considerable experience and ability and to former members the contest will be very interesting. From the number of Liberals who fell in the municipal contest on Jan. 6 it looks as i the decree had gone forth .again from headquarters to elect Conservatives to every possible office. • / ; , ' MAYOR HILLIER'S ADDRESS ELECTION ECHOES.

Profits $802,814,94 Gentlemen--Before proceeding to the . main business of the session I want to congratulate every member of thé council on the splendid fight he put up at thè polls I on Monday last. It was the keenest and sharpest municipal contest that I ever participated in; nearly every available vote on the list was polled, and it must be gratifying to each of you to know that you have been elected by a substantial majority. I want also to congratulate j the town on securing one of the best councils councils that has occupied seats at this board for many years and I believe that you have come here actuated by one object only, viz: to do your best in the interests j of the town. This is one of the most important municipal municipal years that probably ever occurred in the history of Bowmanville; there is a great deal of hard work to be done which will tax your time and energy, but I am ' sure you are equal to the occasion, i I want to call your attention to the deplorable deplorable condition of the roads, due y in a great measure to; the wet summer and fall; In a note from a county councillor he says : It is hard to understand why men who have given a town good service and no particular fault is found should be de- feated. . ' ' - . ■ While we have only kindly words to say personally of the councillors we . cannot but deplore the running of an election on party lines as was evidenced in Monday's contest.' The Northumberland Qub had their party evidently fullv:. organized and saw that every available vote was polled. Hence there was a number of surprises and several good men defeated.--Cobourg World. A new election law that came into force reads thusly : "No person shall, on the day of the polling use or deliver to any other person, any card, tickets, leaflets, leaflets, book circulars or any other device soliciting votes for or against any _ question question or bylaw; or having. tipon %t the name of any such candidate, question or bylaw ; and any person violating the provisions of this section shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding $20 or in default of payment imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten days, on conviction before any justice of the peace."

No one man in these counties has, done more to promote the horse industry than Senator Beith and possibly no single agency has done more alông cooperative cooperative lines than the agricultural societies. These counties are leaders m horses, so people say at the Fall fairs, Durham being especially prominent as witnéss the fine horses shown at Bowmanville, Bowmanville, Orono, Port Hope and Millbrook fairs. " One organization that has won a very high place in the horse world in Canada is located in the county town of these United Counties and deserves more recognition, recognition, participation and co-operation from local horsemen, that is thé is Cobourg Horse Show held in August. Eight shows have been held and each year' seems to surpass the former one in interest, money spent in prizes, and attendance. But what we desire to call to the attention of Durham farmers is the few horses shown bÿ them at Cobourg. Up to the present a very small benefit has come to local horsemen and Why? This is a matter the directors of that institution are very désirions of having advice upon, as they wish to build well for the future and they consider the bedrock of the progress of their society should be the good-will of the farmers and other horse-breeders 01 these counties. One benefit to the ^Midland ^Midland counties from the Cobourg; Horse Show is the extensive advertising it gives the horse industry, here thru the full reports reports and favorable comments every year given in thejoronto and other city papers and the several horse publications in these matters j Canada and the United States. 1 Now farmers, as we have said this is a OLD DURHAM BOYS. - 1 In 1886 there came to Canada from England Thos.

In 1894 and the first term of 1895 he attended Bowmanville Bowmanville High School. After mid-summer he went to Toronto and began work for the Street Railway Company where his bright cheerfullness and morè than ordinary ordinary ability soon made him a popular employee and comrade and his fellows in. 1906 elected him secretary of Toronto Railway Employees' Union and since that time Mr. Robbins has made all the arrangements between the railway. com- x pany and the employees. Last year his friends persuaded him to run as alderman and being a new man and Ward! being a very large territory containing nearly 80,000 people he-was unsuccessful not being being known all over the ward. In a bye- election last August he was more successful successful and represented Ward I for balance of 1912. Such a good record did Aid. Robbins make during the four, and a half months that on Jan.
