Mayor, which was the law then,
Mr.. Fisher, and not Mr.. Emmer,
was made the Mayor.
An unusual sight at the poles on
Tuesday tight was the large crowds
who remained there to learn the
results of the count, and when
learned the midnight air was made
resonant with the cheers "for
Fisher" These cheers were taken
up on the streets till the remotest
parts Of the town had repeated the
echo.
A peculiar and striking feature
of the new council Is the fact that
the northern portion of the tow n
Iberia street up-is without re-
presentation on the council. This,
however, should cause no alarm.
The town is yet small enough and
all interests are so common that
one is justified in believing that
the Council will treat all sections
impartially and neglect none, in sc
| far as their means will permit.

A CORRECTION.

Last Friday evening, after the
services of browning the Blessed
Virgin at St. Peters Catholic
Church, two little glrls, one an
nounced as years old and the
other, we would guess to be 9 or 10,
came into our Office. Both wore
their holiday apparel. The smaller
child looked especially dainty and
sweet. TIE elder child acted as
spokesman and said she wanted to
see the Editor. To that individual
she said: "This is Edna Romero"
indicating the smaller child. "She
crowned the Blessed Virgin, this
evening, at the Church. Put that
on the paper" The child was ques-
toned as to who her parents were
and her age, after which we compll.
mented the little one upon the honor
thus conferred upon her. The late
ness OF the hour-our forms being
practically ready tor press we
/ were forced to treat the matter
briefly IN very few lines.

we're advised by the Sisters of Mt
Carmel Convent that we had made
