THOMAS ROBSON has secured the agency for the Gould, Shnpley-Sr Muir Co’s “Ideal” Pumping Wind Mills. The Freeport Journal contains the fol- lowing notice of these Mills: “The citin-ns of Freeport always take pride in the progress of its citi- zens, and especially in the development of its industries, for much of our pros- perity depends on their success. We have a number of strongand enter- prising manufacturing concerns in this city, and among them the Stover man- ufacturing company occupies a leading place. Their exhibit at the World’s Fair has been the centre of attraction in the windmill division all summer, and energetic .\Ir.John M. Irwin. super- intendent of agencies, with able assiss tnncc, has had his hands full and his tongue more than ordinarily busy ex- plaining the merits of the Ideal Pump- ing Wind Mill and Ideal Junior Sco- tioual Power Mill, and booking orders for them. Mr. Irwin reports business done with numerous foreign countries, and within the last few weeks the company has arranged with u. live Canadian firm, Messrs. Gould, Shapley Jr Muir Co., (Ltd), of Brnntford, Cans adu, to manufacture and sell the Ideal and Ideal Junior windâ€"mills, exclu- sively in Canada. Mr. E. L. Goold, president, and. Mr. John Muir, vice- president, were in the city recently arranging the details, and they report the prospects for business in Canada as excellent. Mr. Muir, who, by the way, is a noted salesman, said some very complimentary things about the' members of the Stover Manufacturing company, and their honorable way of doing business, also about the excel- lence of their goods, but we will not tell more for fear it might make the worthy members of that. company blush. We can endorse all Mr. Muir said about their business enterprise and integrity.” ‘ The Fenelon Falls Gazette. Friday. December 8th, 180;“ The Municipal Elections. There is likely to be a lively contest for municipal honors in Fenelcu Falls on the 1st of January, preceded by a wordy war on nomination day, Friday, the 22nd inst.. the last Monday in _Decembcr, the day on which the nomi- nations arc generally held, falling this year on the 25thâ€"Christmas day. The present reeve of the village is Mr. John A. Ellis, and the councillors are Messrs. ,Thomns Austin, James L. Arnold, John H. Brandon and Wm. Golden, all of ,vrhom, except the last named, are more for less strongly united by ties of mutual interestâ€"and that's what’s the matter. .Mr. Brandon is a member of the syndi~ cate that a few months ego purchased Mr.- Arnold are both partners in the stores. The mode is generally traders stood to have an. interest. though it may be slight, i‘u Messrs. Md Dcugclldtfimn- duo's roller mills, and there is a strong â€"â€"though, we believe, unconfirmedâ€" suspicion that they. in turn, have an interest in the reeve’s saw-mill. Coun- cillor Austin is not in any way con- nccted with the syndicate, but his brother Henry is ;. and, as the village butchering business is run by the two jointly. they may be said to be the same flesh and blood in more ways than one, and anything that: is calculated to be good for Harry is exceedingly likely to be favorably considered by Tom. From the above it will be seen that the inter- ests of the reeve and three of the coun- cillors are to some extent identical ;; to which, perhaps, public attention would not: have been forcibly drawn if they had not. when meeting as a. court of revision, knocked $5.000 oil the assess- ment of the property they purchased from the executors of the Smith estate. In doing this they made a big mistake, for here, as elsewhere, there are business rivalries and jealousies, to say nothing of a sense of abstract right and wrong. and the dissatisfaction at their» having thus lowered. their own taxes by increas. ing the taxes of other people came to a head on- Tuesday evening. when a large number of influential ratepayers met in hlr. Joseph. McFarlaud’s store. and, after discussing the' situation, resolved to nominate M‘r. McFarland as reeve and Messrs. Sandford, Martin,r\cheOWn and Golden as councillors. Mr. Golden, being a new councillor and not being related financially to the syndicate, has. it is alleged, been somewhat “ sat on ” by his colleagues, and when the others were iDCllncd to accede to a petition to lower the hotel licenses, he heroically held the fort until the arrival of some of the rnsident clergy. who prevailed upon the council to leave the licenses as they were. As a general rule, it is not. advisable to ask anybody to do for you what you on t do for yourself. but this doesn’t apply to lowering assessments. If the members of the syndicate. instead of getting elected and grinding their own axe. had elected other men and” asked them to grind it for them, there part of the Smith property, and. he and ‘ business carried on in the syndicate -mad°' r gained their end by the more circuitous but less objectionable course. It is not likely that they would have got as great a reduction of their taxation as they nntdc themselves. but the reduction, if smaller. might have been permanent. as probably no one Would have raised any serious objection to it; but their prompt and dreided action in their own behalf is generally condemned, and a concerted attempt to send them into retirementâ€" for a time, at any rateâ€"mill be made. Whether the attempt will succch or not is a question, as every member of the syndicate has a good many friends; but, at any rate. a war cloud has arisen, and. as stated above, there will be a flow of eloquence on non'iinatiou day and a “tug of war "’ “on” the lst of January. Much may be said, and there will be plenty to say it, an both sides of the question. The Patrons of Industry. Delegates from the difi'erent East Victoria lodges of the Patrons of In- dustry met in Jordan’s hall, Fcnelon Falls, on Saturday last, and chose Mr. Wm. Thurston of Verulam as their candidate in the approaching; election for the Legislative Assembly. h’lr. Thurston is a successful and popular farmer, who for many years sat in the Vcrulnm council and is now secretary of the East Victoria Farmers’ Institute, but what end the Patrons expect to gain by electing himâ€"even iffifty other as good men are sent to Toronto with himâ€"is what we think it will puzzle them to tell. The reforms demanded by the Liberals are practically the re- forms demanded by the farmers, and can only be obtained by achange of overnmen a awn an_ ort c .s o cosan toes.

Let us hope, that they will succeed. Fire in Fenelon Falls. Between two and three o’clock last Sunday morning a geod sized story-and- a-halt‘ frame house on Fidlcr’s bill was destroyed, together with almost all" its contents, by a fire which broke out from some unexplained cause in the back kitchen, while the- only occupants, Mr. and Mrs. John Magoo, were asleep in bed. The house was owned by their son, Mr. Robert M‘agee, but he left not long ago to work in Mr. Eilis’s shanty, and his wife and their only child are away visiting. Mr. and Mrs. Magee, who are respectively about ’28 and 71 years of age, fertuuatelly awoke timbre the fire got very near. their bedroom, and the old lady, smelling smoke, went to the kitchen and was driven back by the flames. Unlocking the-front door, she put. her shoulder tea light outer door that. was fastened by a nail and burst it open, and she and. her husband went over to the residence of'theieson-in-law, Mr. McCutcheon,oo the next lot. Two or three articles of clothing. which they hastily put on, and the feather bed on which they were sleeping were the only things saved, the venerable couple los- in;r all the rest; of their apparel, some articles of furniture, a. winter’s supply of pork and flour, and. 340‘ in cash. lvcrything belonging to their son ‘~‘ went up in smoke" as the saying is, but We are glad to learn that he had an insur- ance 01 $5600 or over. which will at least partially cover his loss. Mr. Mcgce 5 was nearly overcome by thesmoke when _ his wife forced open the front; door. and he says that if they had- sicptn very little longer than they did it: is more than probable that their sleep would is little doubt that they would have [have lasted forever. with all their leatherson. Tun ELECTRIO' Liannâ€" The. work- of digging holes for putting in the- electric light poles has been commenced, but the poles have not. yet arrived, neither has the turbine wheel that is to. run the plant. though it: ought to have been here before this. The question as to whether our streets are or are not: to. be lighted by electricity still remains to be settled. TII-E' PLEBIschn.â€"â€"Parties interested are requested to. take notice that: the village clerk, W. T. Junkin, will be at his ofiice on Monday next, the 11th. inst., at 12. o’clock uoon,,for the appoint- ment of parserrs to attend at the various polling places, and at the final summing up of the votes by the clerk. on behalf of the persons nd vocating the affirmative and negative of the prohibition question. WINDM-ILLSLâ€" Any of 'our readers who is thinking of purchasing a wind-. mill should consult Mr. Thomas Rob~ son, who has been appointed. agent of a: Brantford firmof manufacturers,.as will: be seen. by his advertisement in another- :cclurnn. Windmills have of late years :been brought to a great: degree. of per-- ,flection, and will do some kinds. of work ion a farm cheaper than they can- be- :done by any other means. THE RINKâ€"Since our last issue Mr. McKeown has put two handsome venti- lators on the roof of the skating rink. but they have not yet been painted, and Mr. Robert Rutherford has lined the- wniting rooms with’narrow tongucd and: grooved lumber, which will greatly im- prove their appearance and make them. much warmer. The 'work of flooding. the rink was commenced last Saturday and finished on Monday, but the cold, has not yet been sufficiently severe and. continuous to form ice fit to carry the crowd impatiently waiting to rush on to it at the earliest possible moment. A NARROW ESCAPE. â€"- Yesterday evening a little before five o’clock Mr. \er \Vnflie’s second daughter, Birdie, about 6 years of age, fell from a farm-- or’s sleigh to which she and over a. dozien other children were clinging, and. the hind bob passed over her leltleg above the knee, fortunately without breaking, the bone or doing her any seâ€". rious injury. If the practice of stealing rides is not put down with a strong hund, some of the children are sure to. get badly hurt, if not killed,__bcfore long. 3')" ' W.â€",wu-“‘WMM1‘:. m... tuna“. ’ ., m; .‘xwuv'i'aw . ‘ a. i » .23: t‘ x 13 ,1 ..2 M“
