Some of it is in the form of eritiofam directed at those in charge of public affair=, Fair criticism is always an aid to any ad- ministrator who is not too. stubborn ,to be helped, but most of it is utter- ed elsewhere than in the presence of those responsible. It bee often oc- curred to us to wonder why the news- ! papers 5'. smaller communities are not made use of by the citizens as gig means of exehanging ideas.In clearly y every daily paper this is a feature that is quite prominent Wo doubt if there is any newspaper published anywhere which does not welcome letters from its readers dealing with matters of public interest. We be- lieve that a much better eonnmunity spirit would result from an open dis- cussion of public affairs, [t seems impossible to get ,people to turn out to a nubile meeting. With tho pre- sent-day demand on one's - time for Expositor editorially says:—Owing to advancing years\and other infirmities Mr, William Gillespie has resigned the - position of Chief Constable in Se:tfoitlr. For thirty-three year's, by day and by night, Mr. Gillespie, was responsible for law and order on the streets and in public places, and no man has ever performed his duties more conscientiously or more effici- ently. He was never all things to all omen. He was himself always. It is true he may have made eneniee. He would not, in his position, have been any good if he had not, but it can truly be said of him that he played no favorites. He never took advant- age of his position to be too officious. He knew many things, far more than the average citizen ever realized, but. he wisely chose to overlook many of them. He never acted without due warning, if that was posiblo, bet when he did act things happened. Ile took full responsibility and he never backed away from it, regardless of what other opinions of him migh': be. He retires after thirty-three years, taking with hint the respect of all good citizens, and all will wish the Chief ;many years in which to eniny his well-earned retirement. The News Haid the following tribute to the Chief:—l4lr. William Gillespie ob- served Wednesday, Feb. lst, as his first day of retirement after well over thirty years of continual duty ns Chief Constable. with the exception of one year. He took the office as successor to Mr. Dunlop, 'tunic the mayoralty of W. M. Gray, who was then connected with the salt works, As there was then no Provihc'a1 offi- cer in the county, he was often called upon by the surrounclingtawashins. Mr . Gillespie remembers returning home on numerous evening's during the days of the open bar, with his clothes in tatters, the result of ingle'- ing in custody the then too -frequent drunkards. It is no wonder 'that five or six constables, including' ono from Tnrorito, were tried nut without sue - cess by the council in the one year the Mr. Gillespie was absent.. The lnne_•est pursuit of a lawbreaker Mor. Gillespie made was, after •the burn- ing of the old Agricultural Buildings that stood in the field between Rnht. McKinley's and the, residence of the hate Dr. Scott, on Goderich street, west. Going to Toronto, he followed thr incendiary to Buffalo, then to Mnnitowac, Wisconsin, and back to Buffalo, where he al l estee'l hie man, resulting, in conviction at Goderich Through his keen observation in re- cognizing gnzm'r a horse sr fan m Dublin, the arrest was made o£ the owne' of tele old Forbes livery stable, the rcantins of which are still on the earner of Main street north of Carnegie Mb- retry. The owner did not live in this district but rented the stable to Forbes, He had trot ohm the train at Dublin with another man, hired a he1S(., driven up to Seaforth during the night and set fire to the stables honing to get the insurance. Forttnt- ately .MTr, Gillespie had noticed them in town and knowing ,the horse was from Dublin, was able to trace thorn after the fire was over. I•Ie Was re- minded the other day by n business man fo• town of the arrest of a vag- rant on Main street .many years ago. The busianess man was just a young- ster at the time and happened to be near, so was called as a wiliness by Ml Gillespie. Mr. Gillespie first came to Seaforth when about twenty years Of age, in 1876, the year of the big fire on Main street. The fire started on the east side of the street in a building where Box's restaurant ie and swept the whole block north of it, including a partially built bakery owned by Pat McGarry. Tho fire spread across the street, destroying the block on the west side also, nate extra wlaltlr of Maine t n stye Irani J. J. Cleary's store north was made; in rebuilding, MrGillespie was brought up on the Melaiilop-IIu'Ilett boundary and concession, For some years Mr. and Mrs. Gillespie lived on month Main st., before moving to their re- sidence on James street. It is certain that no constable could have a clean- 1 er or better record or could have s0r- vert the interests of the town to a better degree than has our retiring Chief. sae A Scotch Social. - The.
