TURN OUT.-M Monday there will be
an election held at the different ward
polls for Mayor and one councilman
from each ward. 1t is the duty of
every voter to turn out and vote his
honest sentiments, uninfuenced by
anybody. 1t is to be regretted that
50 few of our leading citizens take an
active interest in corporation affairs.
1t should be an honor for the best citi-
zens to sit in Council, but it is too
often the case that the BEST are the
worst slaughtered at the polls. Cor
poration Offices are not desirable soft
seats as to pay or thanks, yet the in.
lerests of a whole town are to be
served and the people should try for
the best,
