for an election of officers. The election
will lie held on the Goth inst. There will
undoubtedly be pretty warm time a,
the election as several tickets arc out.
On last Thursday notices were posted
in various parts of the town ceiling a
meeting for that evening. The meeting
was held at the Grand Union Hotel.
Speeches were made by several citizens
and farmers III regard to the manner in
which the farmers in this county are
used with their wheat. The fact was
thoroughly ventilated that opposition in
wheat buying is what is wanted. Only q
few persons seemed inclined to blame
the local agent of Pillsbury & Hubert
for the light trade in wheat at this point,
but the feeling is very strong in favor OF
having an opposition elevator. Com
,nittees were appointed to correspond
with various companies and show them
the advantages Bathgate offers for an
elevator company. The only object of
the meeting was. it possible, to better
the condition of ourselves and of the
farmers of this county and thereby every
man in any way connected with the
county BY inviting opposition. When
the business of the meeting had been
disposed of, a communication from q
gentleman writing from Winnipeg to w.
Foster of this place, was read. In his
communication he referred US to his
representative who was present in regard
to building mill. After hearing the
propositions, q committee was appointed
to correspond with the gentleman. It ia
hoped that satisfactory arrangements may
be made with this gentleman for building
a mill.
