In town here everything seemed quiet during the day, but every friend of the two contestants for the mqornlty were working hard. In the election for Councillors, nearly everyone know beforehand that all the members of the old Council who Itood for re-election would be return- 06. Hr. Robert MacFarlane, Sr., and Ir. Samuel Arrowsmith were the only new men in thelield, Mr. Mac- fnrlnne being formerly an officer at the Council Board give him an ad- . vnntege over Mr. Arrowsmith and the result was the defeat of the lat- ter. The results were as follows: DURHAI CHRONICLE The Nunicipnl and County Coun- eiloloc ' ns were held on Monday. For the unty Commissionerslrip in file division there were three cau- fltrfle'e in the field. Chas. McKinnon, of Durham. Henry Brigham, of Allan Park, and Geo. Rios. of the Western s ol Bentinck. The result to Mr. cKinnon must have been gratifying and gives a lull assurance of the con- fidence imposed in him by the public, be having again headed the list by a ”writ, of 283 votes over Mr. Ries, whom we regret to say succeeded in Gelatin; Hr.

Mr. Calder is now Mayor, and as the chief Magistrate of the town he is entitled to the moral sup- port of the electors, whether disposed or act to assist him into power. This we regard as the imperative duty of every good citizen. but should he fail in his administration it is an equally imperative duty to criticise, and criticise severely too all failures in the discharge of his public duties.

'I‘ime apparently has stepped over from the old century into the new, without the evidmce of any eventful OCClll'allCcS taking place, but glides along as of yore. ()ur new school teacher, Miss Feb [8%, of Egremont, has arrived, and is now on duty, and we trust the term engaged for will go on in harmony and be crowned with success. Mr. John A. Lamb left the begin- ning of last week for McKellar, Parry Sound district, to take charge of a school for the present year. This is John’s first venture along the line. of business, which, no doubt, w?“ be remembered as an eventful step in life. Mr Neil Livingston and sqn, Dan. are engaged with A. C.

Mitchell, of Adjala, and formerly of this vicinity, has been the guest of her brother, J. D. Roberts during the pdst few days. She left for her home on Wednesday. We were pleased to meet our old friend, Mr. J. A. Snell B. A., of Wiarton, at the nomination here on Monday. Mr. and Mrs, Taylor, of Listowel, were the guests of their daugeter, Mrs. A.J. Mitchell, during the New Year festivities. .1 The. nomination of Municipal can- didates fcr the township of Egremont was held in the Agricultural Hall on Monday. There seemed to be quite an enthusiasm over the affair if we may judge from the number present as the hall was filled. The County Commissioners were also present, namely, Messrs. Allan and.1)ickson, and were given about an hour to present their views on County mat- ters which consisted of the explana- tion of matters which seemed to have no vital importance so far as the township was concerned. However, it seems a source of satisfaction to them to get airing themselves. The municipal aspirants were then given a chance to defend their action during the past year. As their (10- ings were not called into question to any considerable extent they occu- pied the time in laying plans to some extent for the future welfare of the municipality. Mr. Geo. Schwalm Spent. his Xmas holidays at his home In Mildmay. A very successful concert under the auspices of Court Holstein C. O. F., No. 174 was held in the Hall on Thursday evening of lasc week. The building was filled to its utmost cap- acity. The committee spared no pains to make the entertainment the event of the season and we feel satis- fied they succeeded almost beyond their expectations. The services of Mr. Jas. Fax, of Toronto, and Mr. Chas. Kelly and Miss Hattie Kelly, of the Royal City, were secured. Suffice to say that we have heard no serious adverse criticism hence we concluded that the majority at least were satisfied. The proceeds amount- ed to $102.20. Mr. John McKenzie is spending his vacation with his father and sister here. The regular meeting of [llBTl‘US' tees of Court Holstein No. 174 was held on Tuesday evening of last week when the following oiflceis we1e elected. C. R. Bro. W. J. Brown; V. C. R. Bro. R. E.

Graham has been teacher for the last two years. The forenoon was devoted to the ordinary work of the School and the peOple of the section, and surround- ing section as well. came as early as convenient and listened attentively as the several classes were examined orally in the various subjects re- quired to be taught in school. Sev- eral teachers were present and one of these. Mr. John Greaves, examin. ed the Fourth class in Literature. Reading, Spelling and Canadian His- tory. All the visitors enjoyed not only the quick strrightforward an- swers given by the class, but also enjoyed aptness, tact and question- ing ability of Mr. Greaves who is in all respects a born teacher. Mr. Graham was, and well might be. proud of his boys and girls who showed their good and careful train- ing under him. When dinner-time arrived, school work was put aside and ample justice was done to the many good things in the well-filled baskets brought by the ladies of this section who have on more than’one public occasion showed their skill in the culinary art. The good cooking was only equalled by the good tea made by Ira. Chas. IcQueeu. THOUSANDS SENT INTO EXILE. Crowded out last week. HOLSTEIN . BOOTHVILLE. 1m. .. It’s a terrible thing, isn't! }‘ (yr it?

Then commenced a literary and musical prOgram by the boys and girls of the school. with instrument- al music by Messrs. Dan and Dougald Ferguson and Fred Runciman. Pro- gram lasted twohours which seemed a very short time. Mr. Graham has on more than one occasion shown his ability in preparing pupils for high class entertainments of this kind. Alterthe program, Mr. An- gus McDougall was chosen chairman to call for addresses from several visitors present. Just at this time Miss Belle ).lcl)ougall, a. scholarin the Fifth class, came forward and read an address to the tracher while four Ollml' pupils presented him with beautiful presents for Mr. and Mrs. Graham and also for their little girl. The following is the address :â€"â€" 'l‘t) MR. JOHN A. GRAHAM : DEAR TEACHER -- We, your schol- ars of S. S.

Mr. Graham was taken by surprise and very feelingly addressed the pupils and parents. thanking them for their present. kindness and also for their many kindly. considerate acts in his behalf in the past. He spoke in highest terms of his suc- cessor, also a MrJGraham. and asked that their kindness and helpfullness be now extended to their new teach- er. The trustees and several of the visitors spoke of the advancement made by this school and of the good name Boothville school won at last Entrance Examinrtion when all the candidates from here were successful and one of them, Willie McKenzie aged about 13, headed the list in County of (lrey. Mr Graham has done good work in our school and the influence of it will be felt for years to come.

He likes the country well, and from his appear- ance we think the country liked him. \Ve are sorry to lose him now, as he goes to Hutton Hill, near Durham next year, where we expect to hear of future success for him as teacher.
