Registrar Dickson;
---
James Dickson, registrar of the
county of Huron, and a pioneer in. the
county, was a native of Roxburghshire,
Scotland, and was born on the 26th of
May, 1816. Ia August, 1833, he with
father, came Co what was then Upper
Canada, now Ontario, and settled in
'the county of Huron.
On arriving in. Huron, Kr . Dickson,
sr., purchased from the Canada Com-
pany, three hundred acres of land in
the towaship of McKillop. He erected
it log house and commenced to clear
his tend in the month of September,
1833.
In 1839, James Dickson left the
family homestead in McKillop and
purchased 200 acres of wild land in the
township of Tuckersmith, one mile
south of Harpurhey. In 1851, Mr.
Dickson also commenced business as a
merchalit in the village of Egmondville.'' Wingham last Friday after a weeks

legislated into a position stronger than
that of the land ovvaer in Baitain,
ed by that body for public improve- ,
monts, and Mr. Dickson. had the honor I VACATION TDIE
of drawing up and moving in council
the motion upon which the vast gravel
road schemellwhich hag made Huron so
famous throughout the Province, vies
founded.
Xti 1861 Mr, Dickson. was (elected to
the Canadian Parliament, as the repre-
sentative of the united counties of
Huron and. Bruce. Here he soon de-
veloped special qualities as it legislator.
He was a fluent, foreible speaker, a
good ireasoner and an indefatigable,
tireless worker.
Ilia popularity with his constituents
may be judged from the fact that at the
general election of 1863, he was return-
ed by acclamation. At that time the
population of the -united counties eif
Huron and Brace was eV least ninety
thousand. Some idea ' of the labor
Which Mr.Diekson efficiently performed

judged froin tho fact that his then eon-
