MAKE YOUR Wrras.-As, many for the past. few years have been suddenly stricken down with Paralysis, Ar.

Lang, Esq., or if he doeta't accept, I would propose Mr. Jack Lang. Either of these young men would fill the posi- tion ably and well. These men were born and brought up in the town of Berlin and have for years conducted a very evtens-ive and successful business, employing a large number of, men and have never asked the town for any par- ticular favors. It is only fair that either of them should have the honor of becoming our next Mayor and it is to be hoped that their religion will not be made an objection by anyone and I know true Protestants will be willing to share the honors with our Catholic fellow citizens.
