Communicated.

Mr. EDITOR AS the time Is drawing
on for our corporation election. | think
il is we'll for our people TO give the mat
ter some thought. For the past sever
al wears, our people have given the mat
ter of selecting the corporation author
tiles very little, if any, consideration.
The time has come for every citizen OF
our town TO manifest deep interest in
this matter, for there will be severe
important subjects that our people
should be interested in; which must
come before the council during this
year. And remember. you who pay
the taxes, no matter how little, must
bear the burden, and the council trans
acts all the financial affairs of the cor
poration The proposed railroad i'm.
provements IN our town, and the pro-
posed sale OF our electric light plant
are among the important items that
will need watchful ana careful atten-
ton. The railroad officials have al
ready made some propositions to our
authorities which if accepted will en-
tail considerable outlay to our COR
poration.
Again, our authorities have had a
proposition u dispose of the electric
light plant. do not intend to discuss
these two questions, but do claim that
in order that the tax payers and the
best interests Of our town be protected,
that it will necessitate careful and
thoughtful consideration.
Another project suggested for our
town in the near future is the trolley
line to pass through our streets. Again,
while all this work is in progress there
will be foreigners and fiOaters 10 doit.
Past experience has taught US that a
bad element will be on hand, therefore
we will need officers who will uphold
the law and see that 1T is carried out
So, it is very important that our very
best material should be put in power TO
run our town affairs. How is it TO be
done you will no doubt ask. II can
not be done when you merely vote
when the time comes; but you must
take some part In getting the right
kind OF men before the people before
the election comes off. Do not say,
"let the other fellow do it," but take
part yourself Commence now, and
let every good citizen do his part II
he is asked to go on ticket do not
consider il an insult, but consider the
importance Of the time and accept sue
cess or defeat. II strong ticket IS
brought out in time, it will have ten
dency for another strong ticket to be
put in the field, and N the end we will
get good men for the council. So lend
your name and influence towards that
end. CITIZEN.

Safe. Sure and Speedy.

No external remedy ever yet devised
has so fully and PROFESSIONALLY met
these three prime conditions as sue
eessfully as Allcock's Plasters. They
are safe because they contain no dele
terious drugs and are manufactured
upon scientific principles of medicine.
They are sure bee, use nothing goes
into them except ingredients which are
exactly adapted 10 the purposes for
which plaster is required. They are
speedy in their action because their
medicinal qualities go right to their
work Of relieving pain and restoring
the natural and healthy performance
OF the functions OF muscles, nerves and
skin.
Allcock's Plasters are the original and
genuine porous plasters and like most
meritorious articles have been exten.
sively initiated, therefore always make
sure and get the genuine Allcock's.
