WILL VISIT HURON Council at a Special Meeting Decides to Give $6000 a Month. At a meeting of the Warden and Committee at Goderich last Wednes- day, it was decided to call a epeeial meeting of the County Council to die - cuss the question of an increased grant to the Patriotic Fund and also the advisability of bringing to'thie County the 33rd.

Holmes, Dr, Red- mond, Abner Cosens and others ad- dressed the meeting, strongly Wore- ing both the increased grant and the bringing to this county of the 33 d. Battalion, making as earnest plea to have them come to Wingham.
