but sure" being apparently the legend
Lorne by the place, as it has always
been of the sturdy sone of that land
which gave it originally a founder,
and subsequently tbe greater portion
of ite beet citizens, .
The locality of Wroxeter was chief-
ly settled by Scotehmen or those of
Scottish descent, while the greater
portion of Howick, of which township
it formed a part, was chiefly settled
Iby Irishmen or those of Irish extract-
ion, This difference in nationality
extended itself into political and even
1 municipal matters, and the village was
placed so completely at the mercy
of the other portions of the township
and was in many cases so unfairly
used (a8 they themselves considered)
by the msjority that they took
advantage of the earliest opportunity
afforded for incorporation• under the
Geueral Act. Thispresented itself
during the construction of the West-
ern Division of the Toronto. Grey and
Bruce Railway. A Special census
taken by Win. Smith preliminary to
incorporation. found the population to
number 764; and application being
made to' the County Council in the

The above bylaw was dated Decent-
ber 4th, 1874, It provided for its
coming into operation on the lint of
tho year ensuing; and bore the signet-
tires of Peter Adamson, County Clerk,
and Wni, Young, Warden; and from
the last above-mentioned date Wrox-
eter entered Its indapendent exietence
as a separate municipality.
En passant, we might observe that
rat her peculiar territorial description
of the new village is accounted for by
the fact that considerable manoeuvr-
ing was required to get in population
enough to incorporate it without a
Special Act, and at the same time
keep within the territorial limit (as
to areal which the General Act pre-
scribes. jt will be noticed that that
part of the land covered by the waters
of the Mattlaud (which was consider-
able) was still left in the township;
and this state of thiugs made it so
very inconvenient for both municipals
itiee, that an Order in Council was
subsequently procured to he passed,
whereby that portion reverted to the
village, also enough of the balance of
Lot 20, Concession B. to make 4%
acres. This Order in Council bore the
date of 25th September, 1877.
Although the bylaw of incorporat-
ion provided for its coming into' effect
the beginning of the ensuing year, it
was necessary to paps a Special Act of
Parliat`nent to confirm this provision,
on account of the intervening time
being shorter than provided by the
General Act. The confirming Act was
passed by the second Parliament of
Ontario at its fourth session, was..
assented to on Dec, 15th 1874, and is
known as the 38th Viet„ cap, lxxix.
The incorporating bylaw provided
that Wm. Smith, who took the pre-
liminary census, should be the Re.
turning Officer for the first municipal
elections ordered to be held; and the
gentlemen returned as the first repre-
sentatives, of the new village were;
Reeve,. Alex L. Gibson, Councillors;
Mesere Black, Clarke, Paulin and
Swale. Wm. Small was chosen first
village Clerk, and Samuel Hoseack
the Assessor and Collector.
Very coon after incorporation a
difficulty arose between village and
township in regard to division of
liabilities previously incurred, and
resort was hadr
to a britratiori. James
Shaw (wow M. P. for S. Bruce), bar -
deter, of Walkerton, was chosen by
Howick; D. D. Hay (M. P. P. for N.
Perth), of Listowel by Wroxeter; and
judge, Toms, of Goderich was the
referee. The decision was that Wrox•
eter should be entirely relieved from
its portion of the general township
railway indebtedness. In addition to
this, however, Wroxeter and Gerrie
(under what was known de the
"Grouping Act") had voted aid to the
Toronto, Grey and Bruce Railway to
the extent of $5,000, of which Wrox,
eter had issued de'benturee to the
amount of $3.500 and Gerrie $1,500.
Sub .equently and previous to incor-
poration $1,000 (two debentures) of
the Wroxeter share of the indebt-
edness had been cancelled by the
township; and the arbitratore decided
that this also should stand ,just as it
was, allowing Wroxeter to redeem the
balance of its own debentures, or
$2,500. The above is now the only
liability of Wroxeter excepting two
different lots of debentures, the one for
$1.500 and the other for $2,000. These
amounts were loaned the first to N.
Allen, a cabinet manufacturer in con.
sideration of bis rebuilding and
continuing his business in the plane
after the destruction of his premises
by fire; and the second to Wen. Jolly
as an inducement to establish a fours.
dry. Both loans are secured by liens
on real estate to run teff years. In.
addition we might also include the
small amount of $108 still due the
Township of Turnberry as Wroxeter'e.
share of that township's indebtedness
for the portion (82 acres) transferred
from one municipality to the other at
the time of incorporation.

KEEP IN MIND
THE SHOE SALE
At Willis'
Shoes are high in price and will be
higher in the spring as sure as the
sun shines as stock of raw materials
are so depleted that it will be years
before conditions can become normal.
It might therefore appear foolish
for us to hold a "shoe sale" at a time
when shoes are soaring in price but the
fact of the, -matter is
'WE MUST HAVE THE MONEY'
Our sale started on Friday last, the
19th and will end positively on -
Saturday, Feb. 3rd
THIS IS A CASH SALE and if you
would like to save a little money we do
not know an easier way than to buy
what shoes you need for the Spring.
