THE ELECTIONS. â€"The excitement over the various elections is now over, and we trust peace and harmony will again reign supreme. Seldom are we called upon to choose as many candidates and re- cord as many votes in the same length of tim e as the past week first the Ontario Elections, then School Trus- tees and then the Municipal, and village Police Trustees. Our Markdale School trustee elec- tion was an interesting one, as we noted last week. Our police trustee contest created more than ordinary interest for such an occasion, resulting in the election of E, Davis, A. Turner and S. J. Coleman, In Glenelg the interest was up to the average, with a grater number of candidates than usual, no less than ten being in the contest, the Eeeye, Mr. Moffat, was elected by acclamation, J. A. McMillan was elected Deputy-reeve hy 29 majority over Jas, Skeene, while Cnristie Williams, Geo. Iiamb acd N. G.. Dunsmoraled the poll in the order given foir councillors. In Artemesia Dr. Christoe was elected by a majority of 246 over Mr. Elliott. This township elects the council by wards, and the council elects its deputy. J. BoJand beat W McLoughry by 40 votes, Sharp got ahead of Pickle 8, and Cairns came out 4 ahead of McEee, while Priceville ward elected J. McArthur by acclama tiou. Holland, township had a hot con- test oyer the reeveship, resulting in the election of Dr. Qldhatn by 327 over his opponent Mr. Cameron. A* Shute went in without opposition. Galbrnith and Uowey were re-elected while T. Williscroft, one of the best old members was left, John; Murray, getting his place.

The Society is in a healthy condi- tion yet we can see no reason why its usefulness and importance may not be increased ten-fold. Why not take hold and make the fall Show such an Exhibition as Collingwood tlier's nothmg to hinder but a want of enter- prise on tha part of our buriness men and that of our leading agriculturists. There isn't a show worth specking of in the whole district, and as Mark- dale is in the centre of this large and prosperous agricultural county, and its railway and other advantages so desirable, we think the time has come to make a united and vigorous moye Let there be a large attendance at the annual meeting so that the matte r may be discussed: Ladies troubled with Pimples, Blotches Bough Hands or Face, or Sores of any discrip- tion, should use McGregor Parke's Carbolic Cerate.

"Soaxa tmly, W. B. McObkoob. Chief Ojibway Indians IIowt« Choose A Wife. In the first place, a young man should look well CO his family connections, and choose one his equal, if not better, but never go below his own station in life â€" that is, morally. He should pay strict attention to the physical conditions of the one he chooses as his partner in life, for health is wealth to the nations of the earth. He should also find out what qualifications, if possible, she has for doing things in general about a house. Be sure you get one who is religously inclined, and who knows more about the Lord's Prayer than she does about balls and dance?, and who can train and bring up children in the way they should go, so that when they become men and women they will jbe a credit to their parents. Nine out of ten of our great statesmen! haye been brought up by their mothers side. A good wife is the boast of a husband, and a good mother the pride of a son. McGEEGOR PARKE'S CARBOLIC CERATE.
