Wednesday night the band boys got
out and serenaded the winners. There
was also second ''band" that gave
aftertones. It was hurrah for the win
ners and sorry for the losers.
The ''Social Corner" is taken up with
the election table this week but even
there, we find that Miss Annie Conmy
held a reception on Tuesday at which
there were about 1854 guests.
The county commissioner fight was
the hottest. The small majorities in
dictate the warmth-Norton -, Bigwood
%, and Myrick 6. But six inches on a
mans nose would be considerable.
T. S. Shaw and Bogi Eyford left for
West Baden Ind, on Wednesday. Mr..
Shaw is somewhat improved in health
and goes there to complete the cure, and
everybody hopes that he will come back
we'll.
And now the Herald's crow will sit on
the fence as usual and cav as usual,
~ told you so''-but it must be admit
ted that it has cause to cav. 1t is not
the least of disturbances of the political
situation.
This Office was favored with gener-
Gus slice of DIR. Campbelrs mammoth
squash measuring five feet four inches
round one way and five feet, two inches
the other. 1t took the prize at the ST..
Vincent fair
Tuesday was dark, damp day in
more respects than one, but not too bad
to get about in and the result is shown
by remarkably large vote in the
county. Since then the weather has
been cloudy,-for the Republicans.
Muir Kneeshaw shipped from Emer-
son on Tuesday carload of stock and
farming utensils for Percy Kneeshaw
and himself for the Calgary country,
where they both have claims. Mr..
Kneeshaw expects to remain there all
winter.
1t is as easy to be performer as it
is for mule to kick. But when it
comes to drawing the load afterwards,
then the comparison is in favor of the
mule. Most reformers fail in execution.
1t is far easier to say what should be
done, than to do it.
Union church services will be held on
Sunday evening 1880 next at the city
hall under the auspices of the local w.
G. T U. Mrs. Hopper, national organic

We are in receipt of special edition
of the Radisson, Sask., News, sent us by
our former townsman Archie Mcdonald
The paper is full of illustrations of that
apparently prosperous little town of
scarcely two years old, and shows a
healthy advertising patronage.
The foot ball game at the park on
Tuesday between the high school and
the town resulted in favor of the high
school II to 0. In the game played
some time ago between the north and
south end teams, on consulting the new
rules the score was changed from IL to
10 in favor of the south, to 10 to in
favor of the north.
Quite number of votes showed a
cross at the head of the Republican
ticket with no other mark except mark
for Wexford, Democratic representative.
That is in effect the voter had voted for
four candidates instead of three as
allowed for representative. Query, how
should the ballot be counted?
If you find that the figures in the
table don't just add to the totals as
printed, take the totals as correct as
they were made from revised figures
after the type was set for many of the
townships. 1t isn't possible to correct
all the figures and get out the paper in
time.
We want to thank many kind friends
for assistance in gathering the returns
In the table submitted there are some
errors but none that will make any
lspecial difference in the results Tn. +ho
