IHE DURHAM CHRONICLE The Confederate must have been off guard when writing the, above article. The Tory Govern-i ment broom is not only sweeping clean. but is trying to keep the broom clean. and gain a reputa- tion of incurring no bad debts, as the Confederate admits they did prior to 1906» when he “cut off as delinquents tfhe paper being sent to the Department of Agriculture, with some nine other Departments . at Ottawa from which no remit- tances were being made.” As a good faithful. submissive and ser- vile follower of Sir Wilfrid La-urier the Confederate shouldn’t have told this, knowing as he does, the “delinquencies” occurred during the progressive and honest admin- istration of the Liberal party, of which (Sir Wilfrid was the chjef head.

In the summer of 1906 we cut it off as a delinquent subscriber, along with some nine other Departments at Ottawa from which no remittances were being made. So far as our list is con- cerned we did the cleaning up ourselves. At the same time, we think the Department of Agricul- ture. and some other Departments could very well afford to take and 'pay for papers to which they keep sending a lot of matter for free insertion. “not advertising, but as news,” like any other sponge on the printersâ€"Mount Forest [Con- erate. New brooms sweep clean, and sometimes they are used where there is nothing to sweep. The new Tory Government at Ottawa is apparently so proud of its new broom that it is using it merely to show off.

I here stat-e positively that‘it was not. I have the official returns from the poll, which anyone can examine, showing both in writing and figures that Mr. Lunney polled 13 votes, {and Mr. Shewell ‘29 votes. thus giving Mr. Shewell a major- ity of one in the total‘vote. On Monday. the 8th inst, just one week after the election was over. and before the Council met. Mr. Lunney handed me a certificate fro-m Mr. Vickers. deputy returnâ€" ing officer at Hutton Hill. showing that .Mr. Lunney had polled .59 votes. and Mr. Shewell ‘29 votes. giving Mr. Lunney a good maâ€" io-rity. These are the facts of the case. The parties are at the same time telling that I am old. and make mistakes. The matter of mistakes, I will leave with the Council, but I have to confess that I am getting a little old-â€" 80 yearsâ€"and perhaps a little lazy or. account of having been in the employ of the Township for now nearly 54 years. but barring acci- dents and set-backs, I intend to live as long as my father did. :95 years. I would therefore advise all and sundry who are so very eager to be appointed Clerk of Bentinck, to go to Muskoka, or somewhere in the backwoods and look for office. I am still on deck. I must here commend Mr. Shewell’s action in the last elec- tion. Just what I would . expect of him. I have known Fred 1Show- ell since 'he was a ~boy, and I have yet to know or learn any- thing about him that is not fair, honorable. and above board. I hope the electors won’t forget him next January, for I am sure he would only do what was iust and right towards them at the Council Board. Truly yours. DUNCAN CAMPBELL. .

GRANDE LIGNE, QUE, Jan. 2nd, 1910. “My wife was greatly distressed for three years with chronic Eczema on the hands, and the disease was so severe that it almost prevented her from using her hands. The doctor gave her several ointments to use, but none of them did any good. He also advised her to wear rubber gloves and she wore out three pairs Without getting any benefit. As a last resort, I persuaded her to try “Fruit-a-tives”, and the efiect was marvellous. Not only did “Fruit-a- tives” entirely cure the Eczema. but the Asthma, which she sufiered from, was also completely cured. We both zittribfxte our present good health to “ Fruit-a-tives’ ’ . N.
