Much depends upon tae Commits
sioners touching the interest and
safe management of county affairs.
The Commissioners receive the bonds
of the county officers, which is a
matter of Importance always. We
suggest q continuation Of the old
Board. We have heard no criticisms
on their work and we think that
they have gwen full satisfaction
throughout their term. We think
with the same Board of Commission
ers ana with q continuation Of Mr..
w. A. Dunn as their able counsellor,
the affairs of the county will be safe
IY secure for another term. How~
ever, the magistrates have these
things to consider, and let them he
out in full force at Halifax next

caught by trying to cross the track Just
before the moving train. 1t IS a very
foolish thing to NEEDLE about arai,road
track ween the cars are moving. 1t is a
dangerous thing to try to jump from or
upon the cars while moving. Two often
careIessness causes persons to be crippled
or killed by the trains and then the Rail
Road company is sued for damages.
Better be left or lose an opportunity than
run any risk around a moving car.
