The EIection.-We are glad to say
there appears to be some interest mani
tested in the corporation election which
takes place OH the 18th Of March next,
and thai there seems to DC Il general desire
for ticket that will carry ont the wishes
of the people in regard to the improve
ment Of the town. We sincerely hope that
this sentiment will grow and develop into
earnest work for the election Of men who
are both competent and willing TO carry
on such work AS will tend to improve our
town and enable us to 1T least keep up
with the times in the appearance and COM
forts that We now so greatly lack. or
course it cannot be done for nothing, but
there seems to be money for other things
not nearly so important. and We cannot
see why money should not be spent for
the public good as well as for the benefit
of few private individuals. Let us have
a season of improvement, or we will get
SO far behind we may never catch up.
