Billie and Norman, of the West End, who have Spent the winter at South River, are expected back soon, and if that fellow in Scotchtown isn’t satisfied with the returns of the pro- hibition election he might let the boys know and they could call on Mr. Ross on their way home and see what they can do, or perhaps he had better wait until the boys are old enough to have a vote. The people in this locality aru’c as much for jigging as they are in P0. molm. or as much for sleigh riding down bills as they are at Bunessan.
