TO THE EDITOR. I) 'AT? SIR, I notice that the six hundredth anniveisary of the Battle of Bannockburn will be celebrated early next month by Scotsmen living in every part of the world. This ■ battle settled for nearly 300 years the question of Scottish j ( nationality as such, and being . one of the memorable battles re- , co ded in history, might I ask ( whether the Huntly Scots , Society intend to fall into line with kindred societies, not for . the purpose of belauding them- , selves or stirring up racial ani- ■ mosity, which, happily, is now non-existent, but in order to keep green the memory of the heroes ' who fought so well for their ' country and ho bequeathed to | their successors an independent country and a lovo of freedom , that is imperishable ! Tours etc., : PERFERVIDUM. Sip.,—Will you allow me to : publicly thank the railway 1 authorities for the light that has burned so brilliantly at the Raynor’s road crossing during the ! whole of the past week, I publicly grumbled that this light 1 was never used, and haying done so I think it is only right to ask you to give publicity to my grate- 1 ful appreciation. Youi%, etc., ! MOTHER OF SIX. 1 May 23rd, 1914. f i Sir, ( As as. a small ratepayer I object to luxuries and will vote ; against an electric lighting scheme until a water supply has been installed. The present lights are good enough and have I 1 never burnt better than now. I hope better scholars than 1 will 1 back me up and bring the Town . Board to its bearings. Yours, etc., OPPOSITION.
