Given Free We notice that Mr. David Walkerl has issued a manifesto averting his in tentions to once more become a candi- date for the office of county councillor for district No. 3. In making such a statement our worthy friend must deem himself well fitted for such an cfiice, and that it was simply an over-confi‘ dence in his supporters in stormy weather which caused his sun to never reach the horizon and reflect its brilliancy over East Victoria on his last campaign. This is a good way to put it, but sounds like a fairy tale or what grand-ma would tell little tots on going to bed. To my mind it would appear that “Dainty Davy” is more sanguine about the result of the next Dominion election and has taken this means of getting the voters’ list in r~hape~ for the coming Contest. Dave A Manvers farmer, who had an un- limited quantity of “green serpent" concealed about his person, smashed into Newton Herbert on the swmg bridge last Saturday, doing so much damage that Charlie Iones and hi8 helper spent two busy hours on the buggy before it was fit to transport it8 owner with safety homewards. Newt- did not know him, but says he was a fuzzy-headed chap with a red shirt and wore one brace across his shoulder and carried an hotelkeeper’s gun in his hip pocket. “Take one after each meal.” This was what the note said which accom- panied four tails of very small puppies and addressed to the Rraaboro school teacher. This beats Hutch, as any- body can get them. but it looks like too new an idea for me. It may take at Reaboro, for they are smart people down there anyway, wear good clothes and make almighty long speeches. Hope our clever correspondent down there will give some information. on this in next issue of The Watchman- Warder. N0. 6 OPS Mr Ino. Tully sold his driving mare last week to Mr. Wm.

LETTERS 0F ‘ INTEREST Correspondents All Over the County Last week’s correspondent to your contemporary the Post, had another bad attack. I think it is abnormal liver or brain trouble; it some times causes fault- finding, and how they search up some dead animal and haul it before the city fathers to point out their duty and inadâ€" vertently write obituaries, create thumous fraternities, imagine they have attended long since closed revival meet- ings, and endeavor to cement friendship neglected in life in the necropolis and administer sincere exhortation over the now created. union. Clever! Mr. Edi- tcr, Fenelon Falls has a big heart towards any in trouble, and deserves credit all over the country. The neighbors, the army, the minister, all attended upon the case referred to and others not a few this winter and spring past, and let me say many funerals are attended by fewer people than this one, though seldom are interments made as soon, the majority too late, so that it is more or less unplea- sant to be near the corpse. But this large-hearted neighbor, not offering his house (and then urging the council to set her up for the wake) left the few to do their best as far as they knew under the circumstances. There is great need ofa wault here, and a fine place for one. {Nature has provided. and here was a capital opportunity to call for such a convenience. A needy family was re- cently given a cheap advertisement for borrowing. etc. What is needed is an example of industry and sobriety. Let every correspondent call for these duties, and none need fear their coming fare. “As ye meet to others so shall it be measured to you again,” and it will come though we have an eye on a less ably filled councillor-'8 chair. The members of the R. C. churches of Fenelon Falls and Bobcaygeon are mak- ing preparations for a monster picnic on June 5th. They have secured reduced rates on the railways, and some splendid attractions, and as their committee is also a good one, they will, we feel sure, be accorded the attendance they deserve. The relief of Mafeking was celebrated on Saturday by the ringing of the town bell throughout the day and by a proces- sion, headed by the band, a: night. The streets were crowded and some handsome rockets were let fly from several build- ings. Mr. Thos. Austin was one of the leading spirits in organizing the proces- sion and deserves great praise for the patriotic feeling he always displays when occasion demands it. Some people think an outward display of feeling not dignified, but your humble correspondent thinks that love of country is nexr to love of God. and on occasions like last Saturday, feels like dancing 3 hornpipe to the tune of “God save the Queen." Last Monday a man c‘iimbed the large flag staff at: the cansi to repair some damage, which prevented the flag from running up, and presented an unusual sight, which was witnessed by many. Ab that elevation he reminded one of the pictures of sailors reafing or unreefing the sails of ocean liners. On Monday morning the team of Mr. W. McCo.l became unmanageable be- tween the two bridges on Colborne~st. and bolted towards Mr. F. Sandford’s mill. A number of children on their way to school were knocked down and terribly frightened, though they escaped with no real injury. How they did escape is a mystery, as for a. few moments it seemed as if they must be under the feet of the horses. Major Schocfe, the North African traveller. who visited Feueicn Fells about a. year ago, gave his most interest- ing lecture in the Methodist church here on Monday evening. He was greeted with a. full house, thirty-three dollars being taken at the door from a ten and fifteen cent admission, and ail were pleased both with the lecture and the many interesting curiosities be exhibited. Mr. F. Varcoe, who has held the pool- tlon of clerk In Mr. W. Campbell’s dry goods store for some years. left this week to fill a. good position. His position here will be filled by Fred Warren, whom everybody expects to make a model clerk. Mr. Wm. Burgoyne has had the large plate glass window, which was broken by frost in the winter, replaced by a band- name pane. The job of placing the immense sheet of glass in its place we: very interesting to witness. The sidewalks on the canal bridge were replaced by new ones this week, which was a good act: on the part of our city fathers. . Mr. J. H. Carnegie.
