Decorations of red 'streamers with an appropriate border displaying the harvest field with its corn and pumpkins make a pretty setting.

PIANOS THE SIGNAL : GODERJCH ONTARIO TlituanbAY. a r. r. 1913 s A t;orrection . In mentioning the names of the beams at Mrs. Hutchison's funeral last week, The Signal, through it typo- graphical error, stated that Judge Galt was one of the bearers. It should have read Judge Holt. Dal You Want a Vote ? We ars\requested by Mr. t'ampbell, aassasor s d collector, to say that if any ratepayers whose names are not on the voter's list of the town of Goderich for this year would leave their names with him, not later than naturday evening. be would make the necessary application to the judge to have their names added. There have been quite a number of changes of property lately and many new residents since the assessment was made. Some import- ant elections may be taken on this year's list!, so every qualified elector should see that bis name is on the list. Comfort Itselt if the spider bad invited the tly to step into Mr. George Hobuteier's window instead of his parlor he (the tly i would not have been able to refuse, so comfortahle and inviting is the living room fitted upend on exhibition there. While the display is intended to illustrate the new brass curtain rod:, yet the general effect is highly plr'ising. The miesion furniture table 00 which stands a cut glees bowl filled with luscious fruit: the sideboard, chairs and even the elegant carpet rug, might make one wish that he could rest a while as he trudges along from his day's labor. From the Stratford Herald we take the following : "The wind-up of a two months' membership campaign will be market by a special meeting of the A.O.U.W.. this evening, when the D.D.G.M., Mr. Harry Morris, of Gode- rich, will be present and give an ad- dresr. Sixty new candidates have been initiated during the campaign. which is considered a remarkable re- ord in view of existing conditions. Much of the credit fol this good show- ing is due to Messrs. T. F. Roorne and T. Harkness and other officer', who worked faithfully under the direction of the organizer for Huron district, Mr. W. 8. Bowden, of Berlin. Dr. Taylor Home • Dr. A. Taylor, has returned from a Western trip covering several weeks. He spent a gond part of the time at Calgary and reports a great deal of excitement there as a result of the recent oil discoveries. These are ex- pected to have a great influence in the development of the city. and the people of Calgary are full of optimism. In fact, Dr. Taylor found this feeling of buoyancy and bopefulness etery- where in the west. The crops this year were magnificent, and farmere. especially those who go in for mixed farming. have excellent prospecte. The Doctor's son, Dr. Harold Taylor, has a responsible position as head surgeon at the Calgary hospital and. like most Goderich boys, is "making good."

Merchants are Glad This Matter Nat Been Taken Up and Believe a Mar- ket Here Would Benefit the Town --More Opinions Given by Pro- gressive Lo. sl Merchants. The market question is not dead ; not by any means. So far ar The Signal has been able to learn, a mar- ket for Goderich would be greatly welcomed by nearly all the residents and especially by the merchants. If there are objections .to the scheme, however, The Signal would like to hear them and the columns of this high- class home journal are wide open to any opinions, whether they are for or against this market question. It is not the intention of this paper to foster and support any proposition that will be injurious to the general community, but from the expression of opinions given to Signal reporters, it is be- lieved that the people of Goderich want a market place here. Some are afraid that the scheme is not practic- able at the present time and while they would like to see the matter brought to a head, they are rather dubious of the result of the agitation and therefore are not throwing them- selves enthusiastically into the con- troversy, but they would like a mar- ket just the same. What is everybody's business is nobody's, and for this reason the pro- gressive town of Goderich has gone without its public mart for many years. Being the county town of Huron and in the centre of an excel- lent farming couutry it is the belief of many that at should grow and make faster progreee than it Nat the present time. It is a well-known fact that the success of is town, to • great extent, depends :largely upon the farming community in which it is situated. Everything comes directly or indi- rectly from the land and the farmer it the man to whom the citizens look for their foodstuffs. Treat him as well as possible, give him a place to sell his produce and he will Crake a suitable return, is the general belief of wide-a- wake residents. A number of mer- chants when spoken to by a Signal re- porter were in favor of the proposition and expressed themselves as being glad that The Signal had taken the matter up, for as oes uierebant ex- pressed himself : "A live newspaper builds up a town." Spoken to on this matter Mr. Wm. Sharman said : "I thick we should have a market. Farmers are com- plaining thewselves and 1 think the more farmers we can bring to town the better off the town will be." Mr. W. C. Pridhain stated that he was strongly in favor of the proposi- tion but was doubtful if it would be carried out, as the establishing of a market here has been discussed fo many times. However, he was will- ing that the experiment should 1* tried. On principle 1 am in favor . f a market, but as it has been talked over twice, I dont believe that it will go through. although 1 dont are any tea - eon why it abound out," said Mr. J. H. Colborne. Public Library )loam Rev. Jos. Elliott was appointed at the last meeting of the public library board to represent the board at the tweeting of the Libraryiustitute to be held et Stratford on November 13th and 14th. The libi..rian's report for September showed receipt of $7.50 from sale of cards and fines. There was an issue of 871 works of adult fiction, 3:4 j•tvenile, 233 mag- azines and tki o' •.ther classes. The Canadian I. •-.rBook has been purchased and will doubtless be of interest to f nen and others en- gaged in egri. .Iture. The members present writ., 'ir, John Galt, Mr. J. E. Tom, Dr. Suaog, Rev. Jos. Elliott and Mr. J. A. Fowler. Bad Business for Him To steal a goose worth $1.50 and pay $0.50 in police ccurt for it is rather bed business, at least Edward Tout thinks so. On Tueilday a goose flew out of its coop at the rear of the "public coop" and made its way as far as the Square. Here, it is alleged, its flight was arrested by Tout who is working on the railroad. The owner notified the chief of police who arrested both goose and pian as both were preparing to elope for parts unknown. The goose was restored to its owner and the man was ushered into the presence of Mayor Reid who was on the bench et the palice court in the absence of Magistrate Kelly. The accused was ordered to pay $1 and $5.50 costs into tbe town treasury, which he reluct- antly did. He Was Loaded "Are you overworked or over load- ed:?" queried the chief of police of an incapable lying at the corner of West and Waterloo streets on Saturday afternoon. "The Bayfield road, the Hayfield," replied the drunk. The chief thought that this road could not be overloaded and *eked him to show him bow that could be. Not feeling in a mood for walking the drunk re- marked that his ankle was "busted." treasurer, Mr. Ernest Pritchard and Mr. Harry B trker ; convener of ath- letic committee, Mr. Ernest Pridham and Mr. Darwin Phillips; convener of ppiogramme committee, Mr. Lorne Young, Mr. James McClinton and Mr. Durnin Phillipa. These five will con- stitute an executive committee of which the president of the association is ex -officio a mewber. The elections will take place on Monday next at eight p.ni. All intending members are requested to he present. Arrange- ments will he made for basketball practice at the gymnasium. The an- nual fee is two dollars, one half of which goes to the director., the other to the executive committee for ex- penses. Vancouver Wedding One of the prettiest of autumn wed- dings took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. C•antelon, Kiteilann, Van- couver, on Wednesday evening. when their daughter, Miss Criaaie Render• eon. become the bride of Mr. Norman Mullett. The marriage was 'solemn - ;eel by Rev. Dr. Chown.

She looked charming in en ivory satin charmeuse gown en traine trimmed with Limerick lace and seed pearls. Her bride) veil of Brumsels net was arranged in a Juliet cap caught with a circlet of orange blossom!, and she car- ried g shower bouquet of white roses and lilies of the valley.

Mr. Fred McGregor acted as hest Ivan. The groom's gift to the brideamald was an Atethyat pendant, to the pianist a pearl and ruby pin, and to the groomsman a rear! nin. Mrs. Cantelon, mother of the hride, wore her own wedding gown of hand- some golden brown Ratio fa.hinned en traine, the bodice being beautifully draped with 'eel lace, while Mee.

The steamer Turret Cape has arrived with 110,0110 bushels of wheat for the Western Canada Flour Mille Company. As the season is coming to a clove, things are rather quiet around the harbor, with the exception that there is a steady trade being done at the elevator and Will. The steamer Wexford, which arriv- ed on Saturday with 118,000 bushels of wheat for tbe Goderich Elevator and Transit Company. is having her wheel repaired and will leave in a few days for Fort Williern.

This clam will he used by the Western Canada Flour Mills Company next season for ur.loading coal. The Late Mrs. J. T. Dickson " I ant glad The Signal has taken the matter up, sae it should be brought up,"was the enthusiastic remark made to &Signal man by Mr. George Hob - melee concerning the market question. He continued : "1 think it is a good idea for papers to bring up new sub- hects like this for it certainly should ave been brought up before. A good live newspaper builds up a town.' From experience he knew that the market had proved beneficial in other small towns and he felt that it would be a successful venture in Goderich. He told of how a market in Waterloo, a comparatively small place• was a great adjunct to the town. "I cannot understand why they dont establish one here,' he concluded. Mr. C. J. Newton was another mer- chant who eulogized The a`ligosl for the stand it had taken add he stated that ho was glad that The Signal had Laken the matter up. i think it is a good thing and have always been t in favor of it. When the question came up before i advocated having a mar- ket here then. It was his belief that a farmer should have some place to sell his produce but at tae present time there was no inducement offered to hint. The farmer should not be asked to travel from store to store in trying to get tide of bis stuff," he declared. Mestere. Dean Biros., being consulted upon this subj. favored the idea but suggested t suitable bylaws should be ma.le protect the mer- chants as well as , se farmers and resi- dents of Goderich. The friends of Mrs. John T. Dickson, of 171 Rnxhnrnugh St. went, Toronto, lately of "Cestramont," Tickeramith, learned with deep regret of her death. which took niece on October 10th. Although her illness had lasted over a period of two rear!, the end came suddenly. Mra. Dickson was formerly Lucinda Hannah, a daughter of the late Samuel Hannah. of McKillop. and was horn in Leeds county, near Brock- ville. She came to Seafotth when a young girl and some years later was married to Mr. John T. Dickson, inn of the late Jaynes Dickson, registrar of Huron cnnnty. Her married life was spent chiefly in Goderich and Seafneth. She was a woman of unnnal ability and distinction. but devoted herself to her hishan4 and children. She was kind, generous and charitable. and the needy and friendless were never turned away by her unhelped. Be- sides her hod -eine, a family of three daughters. Mamie, Jean, Irene.
