CRITICISMS IN GENERAL
(Contributed)
Our police department has bright
ened up our angle parking system.
Now that the Band Tattoo is over
let’s not have the old bunting and
flags stretched across our good look
ing street.
Looking up and down our Main
Street on a Sunday morning makes
you think all the paper and gar
bage off the back streets had moved
onto the Main Street, It’s a mess on
a Sunday morning.
The boys sure like driving up and
down our Main Street on a busy
night. Why not you boys go into
some other small place like your
own town, then see what would hap
pen! (Just once would do you.)

RIPLEY, July 23—Mrs. Asa Pal
mer, of Huron Township received
word of the death of her sister, Mrs.
W. J. Hall, at Lunn Haven, Florida.
Deceased, who was formerly Agnes
Henderson, was in her 75th year.
She was a frequent visitor to this
district and at one time taught
school in Goderich. Her husband,
Dr. W. J. Hall, a native of Clinton,
predeceased her by 10 months. He
was a missionary in the Northwest
and also held pastorates in Dakota
and latterly in Lynn Haven. Posses
sed of a fine voice and much music
al talent, Mrs. Hall was a great aid
in the pastoral work. She is sur
vived by four children and ten grand
children.
The late Mrs. Hall was a member
of a rather notable family, that of
the late Mr. and Mrs. Peter Hender
son, of Sexsmith. They were farm
ers on the. 2nd Concession of Hay
Twp. Their farm was small and
they were pioneers of the sixties
and seventies of the last century
when work was plentiful and money
was very scarce and almost every
one bad to struggle to make a live
lihood. This was the lot of the
Henderson household. In the midst
of their struggle the father died,
leaving a large family of young
people and children. The eldest
son, Tom, took the place of the
father and accomplished much.
Everyone worked and they also
went to school when possible.
One day a neighbor, the late Wil
liam Northcott, was speaking to this'
eldest son and he said to him, “Your
father said ihe meant to give you an
education.”
Tom asked, “Did he say so?”
“Yes, he did.”
“Well, then By George,” respond
ed the young man, “ am going to
get it. ’’And he did. It meant hard
work pinching financially, and a
great effort to get to school. He
taught school for some years went
to college in Detroit and graduated
as a medical doctor. He was a very

successful one over there. His bro
ther Will followed his example and
was also a fine success as a doctor
in Detroit where bis son is now a
medicial specialist. Both brothers
have passed on but they certainly
made their mark before leaving.
They attended Model School and
High School in Goderich where the
writer of these lines met them first-
Tom was a fine singer and at the
Model School Concerts was a mem
ber of the quartette, the others be
ing the Misses Sarah Caldwell, of
Hensail and Reinhart, of White
church and Richard Miller of Go
derich. Another sister was also a
teacher, a brother was a miller in
Minneapolis and another was a suc
cessful farmer in Iowa while a dau
ghter Christina was a pioneer in Ok
lahoma. They were all a fine ex
ample of the possibility of climbing
in spite of adverse circumstances if
the will to climb be present.
The parents were possibly above
the average in intelligence and Mrs.
Henderson, who lived to reach her
eighty-sixth year was always a great
reader and very fond of discussing
the leading questions of the day
whenever she met one who was in
terested in them. Mrs. Hall was a
teacher on the Exeter staff over 50
years ago. Her husband was a
brother of Mrs. W. L. Keys, of Stan
ley Township.

is worry. ’Worry is rust upon the*

and trust are sweet juices.” Beecher
