Parmi 1es 18 bénéficiaires, au moins 14 étaient acadiens. L'année 1882 
     
     était d'ai11eurs une mauvaise année; 1e correspondant de Tignish, au 
     
     Eiggggr_de Summerside, nous donne des détai1s de 1a situation dans 1e 
     
     numéro du 7 juin: 
     
    
   
   
    
     It is no exaggeration to say that never since I came t0 
     
     Tignish (over 12 years ago) has there been so much want 
     
     in the country... On1y yesterday, a man 1iving on 25 acres 
     
     and who genera11y raises enough potatoes t0 1ast him 
     
     through the winter, came a distance of 9 mi1es with a 
     
     sma11 jag (sic) of wood which he exchanged for a few 
     
     groceries and 12 1bs. of corn mea1. He dec1ared that he 
     
     1eft his wife and 2 chiîdren at home without a partic1e 
     
     of food of any kind, and that these few pounds was a11 
     
     he cou1d 100k too with any certainty. This case is on1y 
     
     one of many I might quote, with the difference that most 
     
     of those poverty—stricken peop1e have no wood to bring. 
     
    
   
   
    
     On arrive ainsi au tas "industrie et commerce". L‘année commença 
     
     bien; F. J. Buote, fi1s de Giibert, et pius tard éditeur et rédacteur 
     
     en chef de 1'1mgartja1, ouvrit une 1ibrairie dont voici 1'annonce 
     
     pub1icitaire parue däñs 1e Eiggggr du 1er février:
