ELECTION Rotors As Well to Grey county Council all the Recent Banquet. El Hewitson might have beaten Hunt for the Reeveship. Who can beat the elements? It’s going to be a free- for-all and will make all other con- tests in this section of Bruce and Grey look tame in comparison. We were sizing up Reeve Hunt when we spent an hour last Thursday among the 33 wise men of Grey and we came to the conclusion that the man from Hutton Hill is careful of public ex- penditures and has the reputation among his colleagues of being a man of ability and integrity. That’s our candid opinion or Reeve Hunt, too, expressed without fear, favor or af- fection." “In one respect Grey Countl Coun- cil differs from Bruce’s liittle local Parliament. Every session of Grey County Council is opened with pray- er by some minister. As Dan Mc- Tavish of Flesherton and Wm. Cal- der of Durham were never known to go so far in their heated discussions as to cross the aisle and shake their fists at each other, Grey County Council should have been brought to a close for years with the Doxology, for neither Dan nor W’m. are as meek in spirit as Moses nor is the ornament of grace developed to an abnormal degree in either of these big municipal men though in char- acter their names are above re- proach. We were glad to hear these oratorical gladiators state at a recent banquet that. they were the best of friends. If their heated arguments in the Court House where the ses- sions of the. Grey County Council are held were only loving epithets. their wrath would he as the lightning of Jove."
