A rare example of skill, patience,

GIVEN A GREAT RECEPTION
--
Avails Cemeaadery Royally Enter-
tained While in Goderich
Seldom if ever ha. the harbor Pre -
meted such an animated scene as was
witnessed here on Tuesday when the
steamer North American arrived with
Apollo l'omwandery No. I, of Chicago,
ou basad. The boat, which was due at
pine o'clock was about an hour late
arriving. When about a mile outside
the breakwater the tug Marlton with
the band of the Sorel regiment on
bored and • number of the town of-
ficials put. off to meet her but owing to
there being a considerable sea on It
was fmpoesihle to get nn board. The
band greeted the visitors by playing
the "Star Spangled banner." Oa ar-
riving at the landing place the knights
of the comtnandery wete greeted by
Mr. L. O. Parsons, representing the
local masonic lodge ; Mr. M. G. ('am-
eroo, president of the Board of Trade ,
His Worship Mayor Reid and .several
other prominent men of the town.
The knights then disembarked and
formed • double line along the dock
through which the ladies of the party
passed to where about 50 automobiles
were waiting to convey them through
the town. The knights then formed
in line and headed by the hand march-
ed to the Hotel Sunset Here instead
of being entertained by the reception
cuminittee as had been planned they
took entire charge of the programme,
which consisted of psttiotic verses
rendered in the form of college yells -
Chicago, Canada and (ioder.ch being
versified to give expression to the
sentiments of the party. When the
enthusiaatu had been directed into
other channels Mayor Reid managed
to make himself heard from the bal-
cony and calling the people to order
welcomed the visitors to the town,
stating that this was one of the great-
est honors that had fallen to hs. lot
since being in office. Ile then called
upon Mr. N. li, Cameron to speak.
Mr. Cameron said he had not one
welcome to give them but a thousand.
It was a great pity their time was so
limited. It ought l:e of interest to
thein to know that this town began its
municipal career about the same time
as Chicago. \Ve have, be said, about
511011 of a population. while you have
3,41.4,1441. We are desirona of holding
closer intercourse with you and we
would like you to onme W visit us often.
We have a beautiful town where you
might come and spend a couple of
months and keep root during the hot
season in your city. We are cousins
who have lived at peace for a hun-
dred years. God grant we may ever
do so. (Appleusel.
Mr. Wm. Proudfoot. M.P.P., was
the next speaker. He said be was
surprised that .o many would enter a
Canadian port peeing we were at war.
Were they not afraid of mines? We
think we bale, the finest town in the
province and though be did not think
Goderich would cat As up to Chicago in
his time, there would always be a warm
welcome whenever any from that city
paid a visit here.
.'ir. R. O. Reynolds, sheriff of Huron
county, spoke as representative of
Maitland lodge No. :4 . He pointed to
the interwoven flags of the United
States and Gest Britain and stated,
amidst great enthusiasm, that while
those two flags were floating together
we need not be afraid of any German
or Austrian. We welcome such an in-
vasion of United State* citizens as are
here today. You can't down the
warm feeling that exists between us,
as blood is much thicker than water.
He said the programme had not been
carried out as originally intended for

the enthusiasm displayed ; they were
simply staggered.
Mr. J. F. N'oight, of Chicago. on be-
half of the visitors, replied to the ad.

TO THE PEOPLE OF GODERICH
On Saturday next, September t ath, a bylaw to grant
a loan to the Goderich Furniture Co., Limited, will be
voted on by the ratepayers of the towel, of whom you are
one.
We wish to assure you in the first place that this bylaw
is being presented to you only after the proposition has
been carefully investigated by your municipal Council and
Board of Trade.
It will please us,therefore, if you will read the bylaw,
published in The Signal for the past three weeks,
thoroughly and give it your most careful scrutiny. if it
does not meet with your approval dont vote for it.
On the other hand, if you consider it will be in the
interests of the citizens of the town generally, we would be
glad to have your whole hearted support not only in pol-
ling your own vote for the bylaw but also in getting your
neighbor to go out and do likewise.
Our proposition in short is this :-
We ask a loan from the Town of Goderich of $25,000,
to be repaid in twenty equal annual instalments, inclusive
of principal and interest.
On our part we agree to erect a solid brick furniture
factory, 66 feet by 3t feet, three storeys high, thus giving
us about one and a half acres of floor space.
We agree to employ at the start, at least fifty men and
if business increases, as we anticipate, we hope in a year
from date to be able to employ one hundred mechanics.
Passing the bylaw will, therefore, mean an expendi-
ture in wages alone of $600 to $goo per week at the start.
The town will have the first mortgage on the entire
plant and buildings, and will, of course, hold the fire in-
surance on the property to the amount of - the loan and is
amply protected in every way against Toss.
The destruction by fire of the Kensington Furniture
Co's. plant has been keenly felt, not only by the working
men, but by the merchants ant: business men generally, as
a large number were forced to leave Goderich when the
factory was not re -built, and we feel sure that the people
of this town will take this opportunity of replacing this
factory in their Midst and bringing back to the town -not
only those who have had to leave but will at the same time
provide employment for so many of our working men who
are now, unfortunately, idle.
The furniture business is a staple industry and while
the trade at present is somewhat quiet, we have every faith
in the future. THERE IS ALWAYS A MARKET
FOR FURNITURE.
If this bylaw is carried, we pledge ourselves to start
building operations immediately and will guarantee to have
the factory in operation by the first of the year.
We shall be glad to have any of the ratepayers call at
the office and inspect our premises and if there is anything
we can explain, we shall be most willing to do so.
Hoping that the proposition will meet with your entire
approval and that you will do what you can to get out to
vote, we are,

IMPRESSIVE SERVICE HELD
Canadian Foresters Decorate Graves et
Departed Brethren
The members of Court Ooderich No.
32, C.O.F., held a most successful dec-
oration
eo-oration day on tluoday last. The
members of the lodge, about TO strong,
gathered at their oomrt-room, at the
corner of North street and headedby
the band of the 93rd regiment paraded
to the cemetery.
Rev. Wm. H. Wrtghton took charge
of the service, opening with prayer,
after which to the accompaniment of
the band the gathering sang "Nearer
My God to Thee." Rev. Mr. Wrighton
then gave • brief address. Atter
thanking the order for the honor of
being selected to speak on the occa-
sion he said the beauty of the service
strongly impressed him. Deco
the tombs of departed friends wi
flowers reminded him bow much our
lives were like flowersas they )tro

graves decorated today are the gravels
of good and noble men. men wbo
were members of your order and
bring the lemon to us that we
make our lives Like theirs. worthy of
being remembered. Another lama
we should learn today is that we mid
keep our appointment with God. In
Hebrews IX. and 2? we read : "It
is appointed unto men onee to die."
God has made the appointment 11
is not a matter of ebotw with cm, but
if we make no preparation to keep
that appointment we are unwise. This
is nota funeral service bot a happy
gathering to commemorate the pass-
ing of loved ones to the great beyond.
Every grave has a message for us to
keep our appointment with God.
There are more graves in the world
than there are homes. Some day we
