GARW SHAVINGS. By SPOKE-SHAVER. Burglary is rife in the vicinity of High- street, the marauders having taken boots, groceries, and a pheasant. The attention of a few enthusiastic rate- payers is almost exclusively occupied by the forthcoming District Council Elections. The Garw was denied the bluster of a Par- liamentary contest, so the people are going to make the local elections hum. Already more members have been, in imagination, placed at the top of the poll than there will be room for. All prospective candidates preach "effi- ciency with economy," but a little bird whis- pers there has been a lack of efficiency and economy. What with burglaries and election topics, Garw people have not found time to even think of Mr. Balfour and Mr. Chamberlain. But never mind the talk. The warbling of the thrushes in the isolated trees of the valley betokening coming spring, and the noise of collieries once more busy, are music which sounds above minor strifes.
