In fact to eradicate pride of any kind is a very difficult matter. When a man be-z. comes so low that he feels no sham but rather prides“ himself on being thief, a liar, a drunkard or an ordina y mendicant, there’s nothing short of a ' miracle will redeem such a man I m his moral depravity. / ' We are proud because we don’t “mg around hotels and sponge drink} from all who choose to treat us. 780‘}le Editor if you can trample that kind of pride into oblivion. just roll up your pants and wade iu. We are proud because we have suf- ficient control of our appetite, to go home at night with a clear head rather than he picked out of the gutter by some good Samaritan. If you can trample that pride into oblivion, get on your heavy boots and tackle the job at once. We are proud because we never run around to stores and hotels and street corners button-holing people for a quarter to buy adrink with. To what extent can you trample our pride into oblivion’along this line ? ‘Ve are proud because hotel men al- ways treat us respectfully, and never kick us' out because we don’t know how to behave. Can you trample this pride into oblivion with your kid boots Mr. Editor? \Ve are proud to be treated decently by the general public and not have them wish every time they see us that we’d pick up our ink keg and leave the town. This is a kind of pride that we’re glad to possess. You may be a genius, Mr. Editor, but you don’t always show good iudg- ment, and it seems to us if you would just exercise your powers in the right direction, and not try to be a smart Aleck, you would have more influence and more respect even in Hepworth- It is quite possible you know for a man to make himself so obnoxious in his own community that citizens forced to associate with him would be glad to leave his presence and enter a. glue factory to get a breath of fresh air. The new council started their year’s work on Monday night last, Archie Hunter. the newly elected Mayor, in the chair of honor. The new council- lors are: Alex. McLachlan. John Liv- ingston, J. L. Browne. Ed Kress, Wil- liam Sharpe and Robert Cochrane. The whole council with the exception of the Mayor appeared to think that the honor conferred on them was about all they needed of this world’s gmxls. The members had previously been sworn in and at the hour of meet- ing they rolled up their sleeves and waded in for business. with the full determination to make this year a record breaker in the administration of public affairs in the town of Dur- ham. The speech from the throne was a brief one, and the Mayor soon got the Council down to work. The first thing they did was to dispose of the report of the FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT.

Every member wore a happy smile :33 if each was the only pebble on the beach. Young Bob Cochrane felt as tickled as when he wins a. curling match against Billy Calder. Bill Sharp was a solid figure at the Council table and with his two years’ experience looked as grave as as owl in writing out his resolutions. Alex. McLachlan went there with- out putting on his Sunday clothes, and he didn’t care whether school kept or not, as long as he could have his say. John L. Browne from force of habit in the photograph gallery admonished the council with an accustomed “steady now.” Ed. Kress felt about as serious as an ordinary father who goes home and finds triplets in the family. John Livivingst-on tried to make himself as agreeable as possible, and hasn’t yet assumed any big dimensions. The meeting passed off quietly and it isn’t yet decided who the fighting man will be, but we think it will be Bill Sharp. After a prolonged silence we ven- ture to appear again with afew items. We heartily wish the Chronicle and its very numerous readers a happy and prosperous New Year. Our township fathers met Monday as per Statuteâ€"subscribed to the necessary declaration and settled down to the usual routine of business.
