The trouble with these ready-made editorials is that there is "too much chaff fcr the amount of wheat" in them.

Where does Darlington's Reeve come inr The old banner township of Dar- ington--the milch cow of these United United Counties--has never enjoyed the lonor of having its reeve elected to the Wardenship Why shouldn't that ion or come to it in 1917 ? Co bourg Sentinel-Star said last week: "The last session of the 1916 Counties Council las been called by Warden Greer to meet on Dec. -4th. This is usually the session that- candidates for warden for following year go "gum-shoeing" after the honor, and next year the honor goes to Durham County.

Many hearts were sad when on Friday evening the news of the death of Dr. Beith spread over this town, for truly as Rev. Mr. Monroe said he was the "beloved physician". physician". He was oar family doctor for at least thirty > cars covering the years of his partnership with the late Dr. McLaughlin McLaughlin and since for several years. It is no reflection on any other practitioner to say that no medical doctor in Bowmanville was ever more highly esteemed than Dr. Alexander Beith who now rests after his arduous and long professional career. His life of active dnty closed a few min, ntes after giving attention to a patient in his office, so that it may be truthfully said "Dr Beith died in harness". Rev. Hugh Monroe, his former pastor, gave such a beauti 'ul appreciation of his life at his funeral which we are publishing in this issue that more expressions from us are unnecessary. _ Toronto!
