Arrangements are being made to give a great reception to our pop- ular member, Peter Heenan, who will visit Dryden towards the end of the month. Mr Heenan has completed his successful campaign for Kenora, and like the splendid worker he is, he wants to get busy immed- iately and see what he can do for this end of the district. ; Peter believes in helping those who help themselves, He asks that all who have anything requir- ing his attention will meet him on this occasion. If we want to build up this district, now is the time, when "the man who gets what he goes after" is offering his services. A splendid rally of all the dis- trict will be held to meet our member, before parliament again opens. As soon as a date can be set notice will be sent out, so that all will be able to attend. In the meantime matters to be brought before him 'can be fully discussed. EERO) ER () AE) <REe- (-GE> O62 OS CONCERT AT OXDRIFT.
