there had been anyone else there the

of his liberality, at the last regular
meeting of the Goderich Collegiate

the following resolution on the
minutes : "That the trustees of the
(loderich Collegiate Institute desire to
place on record their high appreciative
fain yeti flri%ntiue action of Mr. J.
I. Carter In offering five echolanhips
for eompetitipn in the collegiate insti-

of these scholarships may be accomp-

secretary of the hoard send a copy of
the resolution to Mr. Carter. together
with the sineere thanks of the trustees
for his very generous gift and for the
practical interest /shown b one of Hur-
on's prominent sons in advancing the
education of the youth of the county.
Mr. Carter is also offering similar
scholarships in the counties of Lamp-
ton, :Middlesex, Perth, Oxford and
Wellington. Mr, Carter hoe had a
varied experience in different places in
this county as well net elsewhere, in
the milling and salt business. As a
boy he lacked many of the educational
advantages of the present day, but in
epite of this handicap he has evidently
madegood, judging( hp the extent of
his liberality.

went down to Ottawa G, interview
the Government aaith regard to
obtaining further recognition of tate
services rendered by the volunteers
who served nn the frontier during the
Finian troubles in M. The vital
question is, should it be land or a
pension ? The latter seems to be the
unanimous answer of all the men 1
have so far interviewed. We don't
want land at our tinge of life, as we
ere to., old to settle upon it, while a
pension would serve every purpose
with the advantage that in all human
probability It would tape entirely be-
fore many year.. As the Western
members are very moeh opposed to
any further grants of land in their
Provinces this method of recgrnition
would mutually appear to tbe'(iovern
ment and the men alike. As 1 Wish
to ronlmunieste with our member,
Mr. Lewis, M. P.. as to what we wish
him to advocate, l desire all three in-
terested in the subject to let MP know
their wishes an soon aa prtesihle by
simply saying, land or a pertaion.
