Cann, Vote For the By -Law The voting on the fly -late by the ratepayers of Usborne to grant to the St. Marys & Western Ontario Rail- way Company a bonus of $20,000 take place next Monday at the polling places designated, and every voter xl•ould turn out that day and lend his support 41 favor of it. For many years Osborne has barn clamoring for a railroad, and when the L. H. & 11. was promoted gladly gave assistance in the shape if a bonus although the road does riot touch the township at all. }lowevel' it has been of great service to the township, but not nearly as much as is promised by the proposed new read, which will cross the township at about the centre. with a station, et• midway between Exeter and Kirk - ton, with similar facilities at a point between Kirkton and Woodham. The value this road rein be to the township cannot be estimated. It will eventually be a direct line be- tween Sarnia and Toronto, thus giv- ing the township. which is without doubt the finest in Western Onbario, the 'accommodation it has long de- sired: The main cry against the by-law is the cost. which will be added to the assessment, $3.50 per year on each 100 acres. Is there one ratepay- er who would not consider this a mere bagatelle, if he thought the road would increase the value of hie property or be the means of getting better prices for his productsi Exeter is the business centre where Usborne people do most of their trad- ing and shipping and with better freight service and better rates, the Exeter bgvers will be able to pay better prices for live stock and grain lwhich will make the increase in as- sessment of $3.50 per year sink into insignificenco. Then again, the road will be of in- estimable value to the villages pf Osborne, such as Kirkton. Winchelsea Elimville, Woodham. There is one concern at Winchelsea that ships annually ,thousands of pounds of butter. and a consider- able portion of the money received from this product is paid out to re- sidents of the township. and the check received eneb month for cream sold comes ,Irl mighty handy. To transport this butter by vehicle from Winchelsea to Exeter entails con- siderable expense. when with n sta- tion this will be done away with and the patrons receive the benefit. 'In the passenger trade it will also be a benefit. The Ushorne people like other people take trips on the railway, but the inconvenience Of driving several miles to reach n sta- tion takes away considerable of the pleasure. The By-law is apparently a good one and on Monday every available voter should turn out and support it. Ellmvllle Miss Grace hunter, daughter, of the late John hunter, died at the home of her brother • Mr. 'Samuel Bunter on Saturday, April 3rd, aged 50 years. Death was title to pneu- monia, but deceased had b, en.ailing for the past year and many tunes her life was despaired of. Miss Blunter was born in Usborne and although of u very quiet and genial disposition was highly respected. She was a member of the EIitnvillc Methodist church. The funeral was held Mon- day afternoon interment being in the Exeter cemetery. the funeral being conducted by ltev. ltobt. flicks, of Crediton, in the absence of the pas• tor ltcv. Fair. She is survived by two brothers and two sisters, Richard, of Exeter, Samuel and Nancy on the huxnestcad and Mrs. Sarni. Brock, of Winchelsea. Rev. fair is attending the. con- vention being held in 'Toronto. One by one the old landmarks of the township are passing away. Mr. \Villiutn Johns is tearing down what is perhaps the oldest log house in the township, the homestead of the late Geo. Andrew. 1h. built the house some sixty years ago and it was occu- pied continually up to the present. The lumber in the house was in ex- cellent condition. and had been sawed with an old fashioned #it raw; Mr. Johns intends erecting a modern structure on the premises. The Usborne Council met at the Township Hall Jtere on Saturday and transacted considerable business. A delegation was present opposing the report of the engineer en the Sauble. The Matter was finally laid over to secure the advice of the Gov- ernment Referee on the matter. Con- tracts for several new bridges were let Looby & Nagle. of Dublin.
