Our neighbors across at Emerson are
not dwelling in unity over their civic
affairs. Partizan feeling runs high all
the year round. The town council is just
now in dead lock with prospects of un-
certain duration. We invite our cousins
to come over to Pembina next Tuesday
when we are to have our city election
and see how good humoredly we 20

In every election at Emerson one party
or the other makes big noise over the
voters that come from Winnipeg. The
Nash party was charged with bringing in
these votes last January and now the
Burnham party are accused of the same

squeal about such unheard of rascallity.

6Ro. DEACON of St. Vincent supplies
the Information to the Pioneer Press that
volunteers are being collected to watcl,
the boundary between Pembina and

according to the provisions of an act
passed by the legislature recently. But
this company finds nothing to do yet
and does not expect to, SO far as present
indications are concerned.

their partnership on Wednesday. These
two gentlemen will make q strong legal

of being a good lawyer, a fluent and
forcible speaker and an agreeable gentle.
