We hear of n'j opposition to our Glenelg Reeve, Mr. Davis. He is a very proper person for the position, and will doubtless hold it. at least for the coming year. We have not heard of any opposition to the Deputy, J. A. McMillan. The council will seek re- 'election, and stand a good chance of being returned. In Holland, matters are quiet. It lis thought Mr. Cameron, the Reeye. will have no opposition. We under- stand Messrs, Shute and Norton will be candidates for Deputy- Reeye. The eld couQcil will seek re-election, all except perhaps M. Howey, who is not certain whether he will be a candidate. Mr. .John Murray will likely try it again. If the East ward wishes to have a representative they will have to decide on one man, as by having a number of candidates they are sure to loose all. We would suggest Mr. Jas. Freeborn as a very fit and proper parson for the position, and well quali- fied to ably represent the East ward. â- There are, however, other good men -the 0sly difficulty will be in deciding on one. Euphrasia municipal politics are al- ready assuming a business-Jike aspect. Mr. Gilray will doubtless be elected Reeve by acclamation. He has proved himself a painstaking and efficient re- presentative, and a good financier, and stands high in the estimation of the ratepayers. Mr. Wm. Fawcett, the present Deputy-Reeve, is busy cauyassing. D. R. Ellis is undecided whether he will take the field or not. Jas. Erskine has announced his deter miuation of again offering himself as a candidate for the Deputy-Reeve. He haS/ been many years in the coun- cil, and will doubtless take that posi- tion at the coming election. As a business man and efficient represen- tative he is head and shoulders above the present Deputy. The present â-  councillors have discharged their du ties faithfully and proved themselves worthy the confidence reposed in them. They are Messrs. Boyd, Black and Hurd and will all seek re-elec- tion. Report haa it that W. J. Shepherdson, the famous auctioneer, will again offer his services as coun- cillor. lu Osprey we hear of no particular stu* as yet. Mr. Gamey will, no doubt, be re-elected to the office of Reeye. He is an, able representative at home as well as at the County Council. The other members of the council are economical acd careful of the interests of the township, and in all probability will seek, and succeed in being re- elected. CONSERVATIVE MEETING. BUiott. B.

After tlie above business wat com- pleted the business of the annual meetmg was taken up. Mr. N. Mc- Colman handed in his resignation ais President of E.G. L. C. Association. The resignation was accepted, and Mr. Kells, Vice-President, elt!ct«d to fill his place. Mr. T. Gilray, Reeve of Euphrasia, was then elected Vice- President. Mr, John Lyons, Record- ing Secretary. Wm. Douglas, Treas- urer and the following corresponding secretaries were, appointed W- J. Grier, Thos. Hanbury and Jas. Brodie. Auditors, Wm. Lucas and R. J. Sproule. Dep.-Vice-Presidents, Jas.

After business the Convention were treated to a sumptuous supper at the Markdale House by Dr. Sproule, M. P. ^^za Tnu# ft «iiitese iiMMio«9 SheUmrnfl «heeie factorr ib^bu*- "WHY NOT FLESHERTON " The Flesherton Advance makes a feeble attempt to represent that village, a more convenient point for Thorn bury merchants to reach, in bringing freight over the C. P. R. than Mark- dale. The editor should remembei that it is a point on the C. P. R. Thornbury wishes to reach and farthermore, if there is any truth in the statements contained in various articles which has appeared in the Adcance, urging the township to con- struct a passable road from Flesherton to the railway station, we would naturally conclude that the Advance simply advocates the road via Flesh- erton to reach Markdale. We can see no great obstacle in the way of Thorn- bury people reaching this stat ion direct, there being but one hill of any account, and it is not absolutely necessary to travel even that hill to reach this vill- age. Every necessary convenience and accommodation will be provided at Markdale in the handling of freight, c., should the Thornbury people de- 1 cide on the proposed change. R. T. OF T. A meeting of the East Grey Con- servatives was held in Markdle on Mouday last to appoint delegates to the Provincial Association about to be organized, and to have the Riding re- presoutod at the Banquet to the Eight Hon. Sir John A. Macionald on the 17tli December. There were present, N. McColman, M. r. P., President T. Kells, Vice- President; John Lyons, Recording Secretary T. S. Sproule, M. D., M.P., and a very large rej)resentation from all parts of the riding. The following were appointed dele- gates to Toronto: â€" Dr. Sproule, M. P., T. KeUs. W. J. McFarland, Wm.

The hall was well filled, and everything passed off with the best of order. The customary refreshments were dispensed with, much to the re- lief of the committee, and we believe, to the satislaction of all. A substitute was, however, provided, in the shape of a supply of beautiful eating apples. Rev. Mr. Caseon was voted to the chair, and the programine entered upon within six minutes of the stated hour this was another important im- provement, as it is very common to commence proceedings from half an hour to an hour later than the advertised. The programme was ably rendered. A quartette by Mrs. Hill, Misses. Lyons and Armstrong, and Messrs. Brown and Armstrong, was rich. Mr. Porter is a good reciter and did his part admirably. Mr. Richf^rds acquitted himself creditably. Mr. J. R. Anderson appeared in his usual happy mood. It is always a de- light to a Markdale audience to have the privilege of listening to. Mr. A., and they vvere by no means disappoint- ed this time. Mr. H. A. Galbraitli of Toronto gave two most thrilling reci- tations. He has a pleasing address, and an expressive and thrillmg man- ner. W. .J. Benson appeared m character, and brcught the house down completely. Ho is a genius in- deed, and did his .part exceedingly well, keeping ihe audience in-'roars of laughter througboat. his stay on the platform was heartily encored, and gave an amusing episode, followed by a song, "Mr. Riley." There .was also i duette by Misses. Armstrong and Lyons. Song by Misses Ford. Bong by -Nellie Wilson, also by Miss Wilson. A^ address by Rev. T. Grandy, and staitisties, c., of the order by Mr. Enuis.' The whole was woond op by ,tiie sing^mg of the I^ational Anthem. ^*I^^ floriieTtoa ie(9le tarred o^ in y^^S Jittinb^rs, ^omngv in » prsetiBftl 'jBtEuiBsr, the fjmfenud fadmK (nkiiilf JMtwfeett the IteiOHC^.
