IT IS POLITICS NOW.

Now is the time for the men OF
group themselves on the and
in the stores, sit on the counters and
talk politics. The politicians IN this
borough are said to be very active and
anxious to know who are going to be
the defeated candidates for the COM
ing election, but they will have to
"bide a wee" and ''possess their souls
in patience" Ladies may expect now
to 60 in the stores and be treated to
political chats, orations, etc. Any
thing goes in these dull times; so they
will have to be patient also. We need
a little life in the place. Dull times,
little work and little money, so much
sickness and 80 many deaths, has
made this place anything but lively of
late. There seems a gloom hanging
over il and very little in a social way
Is being done; SO if politics will help
brighten it up, let's have them.
