brick stores, which have proved to be an
ornament to the town, and, in conjunction

erected by Mr. Horace Horton,

most valuable business block in
town. Mr. Jordan is of English
birth and extraction, but has been
so long a resident of Canada, that
he has fully identified himself with
the interests, political and commer-
cial, of his adopted country, of
which he has proved a most useful
and energetic citizen. In most of
the basinest ventures that have
been put on foot since his advent
to Goderich he has taken a live
and liberal interest, and although,
like many others, he has found
that all is not gold that glitters,"
he has nevertheless been able to
amass a considerable portion of
- this world's goods, and to occupy
a prominent position in our busi-
ness community. At the time of
the Trent affair, lie was one of the
first to volunteer for service in the
Goderich Artillery Company, anti in lhfifi,
when the company was called out for active
service at Sarnia, he relinquished his ex-
tensive business for the time -being and
took his place at the front as a private. in
