Filth. obituary as much press was accustomed to grinding out Grit literature, and Mr. Ramage was just. nicely started when an accident oircurred which disabled it and we had to bundle up our stuff and run it off by hand, a job we never seemed to have any hankering after. W'e were late in starting and later in getting ready for the mails, which our readers will likely know before now. A few of the papers were mailed Thursday night and the rest on Friday. It was a case of one scratching the ,other’s back in return for an exchange of scratching when occasion called for it, and on Friday we had to do the press work on the bills for the Scotch Con- cert at Priceville. It’s a wonder to us the Gaelic heading didn’t put our press out of business, but we pulled through all right. The Review press is being put in shape by Mr. Drysdale, and our engine was set in motion by the man- ufacturers in Berlin. We hope the accident season is over for a while and that we’ll have no more delays because of break-downs. As we intimated last week, our en- gine gave out on us and We took our forms and paper up to the Review office to get the press work done. The preSs was accustomed to grinding out try conclusions with Mr. Laidlaw. Mr. Moran has always polled a. good vote for municipal honors and his past- success may cause him to be ambitieus enough to climb into the contest for reeve. It is profitable also that the old members will seek re-election. Mr: Ireland’s name has been mention- ed as a Municipal representative and he would make a good careful man if elected to the position, but we are of the opinion that Mr. Ireland is not moved by a high aspiration and unless he’s wanted he’ll not move. THE Mayorality is to be contested by Mr. A. S. Hunter and Mr. \Vm. Calder and Mr. Laidlaw we learn has signified his intention to run for reeve of the t0wn, So far we have heard of no opposition in the race for the reeve’s hip, but there’s time enough yet, and there may be some on the scene on the night of the Nominations. There is no guessing who will be nam- ed for positions on the Council, but Mr. Moaan is to be ore unless his ani- bitions soar higher and he decides to days of push and enterprise. There are more newspaper readers today than ever before in the history of the world. The newspaper places your business under the eyes of the buyer. He sees what he wants, and, looks up the wide awake merchant. who asked him to come and see him. Success in these days of sharp competition calls eternal vigilance. You can’t keep a. hustler down. THE chances are we will be a day late next week and the week follow- ing. Christmas and New Years com- ing Tuesday will he almost. sure to throw us out. After that we’ll try to right ourselves up and be more regu- lar. The accidents for the past couple of weeks together with the big adver- tising demand put regularity and punctuality behond our control.

OF CASE PIPES AT DARLING’S The address was signed on behalf of the School by Wm. Bailey, Mae Dixon, Lizzie Aldcorn and Arthur Weir. The address was highly eulogistic of the energy and efficiency of Mr. Allan as an educational instructor and re- grets were expressed that the present relationship between students and teacher had so soon to terminate. In sentiment it was expressed that the influence exerted would not terminate with the class immedlately affected but that all recipients of the moral and social influence would go on forever and forever. Prmcipal Allan very courteously accepted the gift and made a suitable reply which was sup- plemented in terse and well chosen words by Trustee Ramage and Inspec- tor Campbell who were present on the ‘ occasion. At the close of the Model School term Principal Allan was honored by the students in training who presented him with a. gold headed cane and an appropriate address. THE Hutton Hill correspondent is after us this week with abig knife, and if we don’t look out our hide may be sent to Smith’s tannery before long. \Ve said in our reference to the pie socnal at the time that we regarded the order as the worst we ever saw. \Ve say so still, and we are not going to blame the crowded condition of the school for the unbecoming conduct that was altogether too common on the occasion. There may be some who think it was all right. It wasn’t so to us, and we are not at all worried over the correspondent’s opinion. MR. W'. H. ARROWSMITH took his son, ‘Vm. J., aged 14, to Fergus Hos- pital on the 10th inst., where he under- went a successful operation for appen- dicitis. A fish bone in the appendix was the cause of the trouble. It was only a year ago last fall since Mr. Arrowsmith underwent a similar oper- ation at the same hospital, and he expresses great respect for Dr. Groves, assistants and nurses. The boy is out of danger and will be home again soon. \Vox MEDALs.â€"-Z\Ir.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1906. Brandon public schools are closed on account of the fuel famine. Two ho- tels had to close and many families are living with neighbors and friends. have more than once entered a protest against the impudence of the young fry who make themselves mere beg- ; gars for the holidiy season. Mer- chants and others who get calendars get them for their customers and should exercise care in giving them out. Calenders cost a lot of money and they’re not intended to be thrown round indescriminately so that any one family may have a dozen while l some of the best customers have to go i Without. If mechants decide on giv- ing away calendars it would be a good idea to look over their ledgers and send one to each by mail. or to ad- dress one to each customer who might get it when he called sometime during the holidays. In any case we protest ' against giving them out to every youngster who has the cheek to ask for them. We saw a calendar cata- logue a few days ago in which some were quoted at nearly $35 a hundred, that’s 35c. apiece and if each got one in a family of ten the calendars would cost more than some of them would spend in a whole year at that particu- lar place of business. Mr. John McLean, of Priceville. was in town Monday and was accmnpanied home by his daughter Miss Sara Mc- Lean, Model Student], and Miss Katie McDougall, who will spend a couple of weeks there. Parkinson, late of the township Us- borne. Mr. Parkinson was for years a resident of Usborne. and in 1896 left forparts unknown. He did not con- fide in any person where he intended going and as far as is known nogreason can be assigned for his sudden dis- appearance. It is thought by some he went to Utah. but although a search has been made for him, no trace has ever been found. As he left an estate his relatives some weeks ago made ap- plication to County Judge to have him declared legally dead. This pe- tition was. granted by Judge Doyle and the estate will now be divided among the heirs. \Ve direct the attention of our read- ers to the advertisement of the.
