Now that the din and uncertainty of election turmoil has subsided, to give place to the all important arena of action, we may be allowed to ven- ture a few words of encouragement and counsel to the municipal body who stand at the helm to turn our wheel of progress for 1894. As regards the personnel of the council elect we make hold to say that it is indicative of a course of onward march to that desideration of progress and prosperity, which the thrift and enterprise of the citizens would seem to warrant. We have no hesitancy in affirming that the intention and determination of each candidate when he allowed his name to go upon the ballot was to do his very best for the village. N ow comes the time when the electors look to the fulfilment of those intentions and the scrupulous enforcement of those determinations. \Vith most men and certainly with the members of the new council, their intentions are good, but when the demand upOn their influence is made by aspirants for the village crumbs that fall from the tables of office, or for street repaii, 01 in short any emoluments or favors within the] gift “of the corporation, then comes the rub that tests the gen fineness of the coin and the backboone of man. While it is quite true, that in many questions which come before a municipal body, opinions may differ and one person’ s ideas may be as \1 orthy of acceptance as another’s, and a spirit of gixe andi W.

MILLBROOK, EDITOR It is with sympathy to the bereaved father and family that we chronicle the death of Sidney Fallis, P. C. of the Toronto force. Deceased was the son of Mr. William Fallis, a well known farmer, formerly resident. in the township of Gavan, but now in Manitoba. The deceased was a fine young man of only twenty-three sum- mers but that dreaded disease consumption, ; took hold of him about six months ago to‘ which he had to succumb. His death, which his friends looked for weeks before took place on the 20th of December. His brother \Vesley, was his constant attender to his last moment. His remains were placed in a beautiful casket and brought to his uncle’s, Mr. Richard F allis, 6th con. of Gavan, from which the funeral took place on Saturday the 23rd, to Gardiner’s cemetery, followed by a vervlarge number of sorrow- ing friends and old neighbors, where all that was mortal was laid in their last rest- in place there to await the great. call which bi s the sleepers rise. Truly in the midst of life we are in death. His brother police- men gave him a tribute of honor by plac- ing a beautiful wreath on his coffin with the motto “ Our Comrade,” also six of them accompanied his remains to the grave, of j which I will give their names viz.: Allison, ‘No. 94; Fallis, No. 39 ; Pat-ton. No. 41 ; Philobs, No. 135; Dodds, No. 133; Fallis, 3N0. 146, together with Mr. Humbery the undertaker, and M r. Elliott, at former resi- dent of Millbrook. As the time was limited with the P. C. men, having to get the train at Cavanville, a hasty farewell was taken of them by their many friends and they were accompanied to the station by our worthy councilman Mr. Charles McNeil and others. After reaching the station a short time was to spare which was spent in social conver- sation. The citizens of To ronto may well be proud of their police men if they M0 all anything like the men which accompanied the remains of Sidney Fallis to his last rest- ing place. ‘ “ Frost Bit-es ” are ugly thist ; a nose or ear swollen two twice its. usualo is no more beautiful rah-1m it is confiortahlc.

To go with the crowd and float with the stream makes nice sailing, but it not infrequently terminates in disaster and although it may be hard to cut out and irradicate the cankerous growths, the after fruit will more than repay the disagreeable labor. It is good policy to make no promises that affect the finances of the corporation outr side of the council sittings, where all matters should be determined in the light of the fullest knowledge of the case and the combined wisdom of the board. You will be approached per- haps (it will be unusual if you are not) not by the person always who wants a favor but by his second cousin’s cousin, or neighbors uncle’s father, for your influence in a certain direction, or your consent to a particular scheme. \Vhile it is well to listen to every application, always defer action or promise until .the proper time and place. THE RE- PORTER will give its aid and support to the council in its attempts to advance the town’s interest, and while it claims the privilege of reasonable criticism, I will now as always remember that measures and not men are its legitimate sphere of attack.

They asked for assistance for Richard Mc- Brian and his wife, an old indigent couple whom the council had been giving assist- ance to for some years, as they were in very destitute circumstances at the presentItime. Mrs. McBrian was confined to her bed [by sickness and her husband was not able to‘ wait on her. The neighboors had been3 almost- keeping them for some years, and they thought the council should employ some one to look after them.

The minutes of the last. three meetings were read, approved and signed. On Wednesday Dec. the 13th, all that was mortal of Mary Ann, wife of Mr. J oh n W. Thexton of Cavan, was buried in St. John’s graveyard, The large number of people who attended the funeral convinced the high respect in which the deceased lady was held in the community in which she lived. The funeral services both at the house and at the church were conducted by the Von. Archdeacon Allen, who during her lone illness had been constant in his attend- ance at Mrs. Thexton’s sick bed. The Rev. gentleman in his address at the house, spoke in very feeling terms of her suffering and death, and his remarks were received with ‘ the most reverent and earnest attention. She had, he said, passed through a long and agonizing illness, which she had borne with ‘ the greatest patience, supported by an unfailing faith in her Saviour, of whom she had been from her earliest years an humble follower. During her long sickness every- thing was done for'her that medical skill and careful nursing could accomplish. The Doctors Brereton were most attentive, and her husband and her sister, Mrs. Beatty of Omemee and other friends attended to her every wish. But all in vain, and she at length sunk under the power of her dis- ease, but her end was peace. L21 VAN CO I 1'N C I L. OBITUARY.
