There has not been q question OF any

in relation to who is to be the new post
master. 1t is an admitted fact that some
BODY will shortly succeed Mr.. Wise, but
who the lucky individual will be remains
an unanswered question, excepting with q
few quailing candidates who are strength

ing that tae light looks favorable to him

working or him. This is poor business
and doesn't pay. Ifyou are q candidate

THIS is the and manier way to hight your
cause. If you are defeated, don't spurn
everybody who didn't happen to be on

during the contest shows ones weakness,

last night. The crowd in attendance com

8 o'clock until near midnight
the ladies in charge Of the affair did their
duties and entertained their great crowd OF
visitors in an admirable manner. When
one was not eating he was drinking in the
music as it flowed from the elegant piano
at which the young ladies took turns show
ing their skill at playing, or gazing on the
inery and pretty girls that occupied the
several booths along the room. The sup

the bazaar was a grand success 10 every
particular. A handsome sum was realized,
which will be used in paying some obligs.

management returns thanks to all those
who assisted in the good work who are not
members Of the church.
STATUS OF THE CITY.
The cold weather last week had the
effect Of making the town very
Quiet. 1t is indeed very
monotonous place that wont support a few
drunks and disorderlies in a whole week,
but it is o matter for congratulstion that

contain over one unfortunate at a time,
and during this period one single individ'

cold snap it Is no unusual occurrence for
some Of the cities around US to have occa'

but this town don't seem to be catching on
to the style; in fact, old Bellaire is out in O
new suit Of her own pattern just now, and
wants to make a dandy showing OF itself
for 1886. One whole month has passed
and as yet nothing that could be classed
az horrible has occurred, and it should be
the duty Of every solid citizen to try and
maintain this record to the close Of the
year.
