Maas ter3 the best year of your life
up to this period of your history. The
year:, wheel by so quickly there is little
time to waste if you wish to accomplish
what belongs to true mauhood and
womanhood. Good resolutions are all
right but putting them actively into
use every day is better. If we turn
over a new leaf at this season of the
year we should see to it tbat it is not al-
lowed to tarn back in a short tine but
that optimism, and progress in the best
things of life are practiced so regularly
that they will be interwoven into the
very fibre of our being. Make rer3a
year of great advance.
WEDN6sDAY, 15th inst., is the date of
the annual meeting• of East Huron
Agricultural Society. There sbould be
a large attendance as there is no doubt
of the good work that may be accom-
plished by such a Society with proper
ideals as to the object of it. The place
of meeting will be the Town Hall and
the houre.3o p, m. Will you be there?
The meeting is a publie one and conse-
quently open to every one, All mem-
bers of the Society have the right to
vote on election of officers and any ether
item of business. A faithful and effici-
eot officer drops out in theperson of est
Vice President, George Robb, owing to
his removal from Brussels to St. Cath -
urines, He will be greatly missed.

With the advent of examinations only

possibly. than bas marked the past
term. It is a fatal mistake to loiter
until near the close of the term
and then expect some miracle .o be
wrought to "make the grade." It is
the completion of each day's tasks in
the day that count well when the
reckoning and testing days come. An
ambition to top the list is worth ten
thousand "dont care" and will leave as
indellible impression on the individual
who is determined to succeed all
through his or her career. It pays to
"get a move on" in study as web as
everything else.
NEXT Monday will see a lively conflict
in many a municipality over Local
Option By -Laws. There never was a
time when the baneful effects of the
traffic were presented than to -day.
A perusal of the daily., press will prove
this to tbe most incredulous. Some
argue that if Local Option carries law
will be violated and consequently it
should not be passed, By this line of
reasoning the present license law should
be annulled, as every week scores of
men are being fined for infractions. The
history of inmates in jails, penitentiar-
ies, asylum& poor houses, orphans'
homes, 8ec., is largely traceable to the
liquor traffic, while the poverty, distraes
and unhappiness of many a home
charges up its big account to the same
cause, An epidemic that would cut
down as many victims in a year as fall
by John Barleycortt would create such a
stir and alarm every person, with the
public good in mind, would be thorough-
ly aroased, pressing for means:to abate
it. There is no good reason why a bill
of divorcement should not be passed be-
itveen the bar and a web kept hotel or
house of public entertainment. Some
people say cutting off the bar puts the

[ATE MRS. JNO, KNECHTE1
Mrs. Margaret Knechtel, of whose
demise reference wae made in last
week's issue of Tax PosT, one of the
earliest settlers of Huron County,
died at her home in liarpurhey, Sat-
urday, Dec. 21st., at the age of 83
years, 6 months. She was born in
T'hirlsow, near Sanquhar, Dumfries-
shire, Scotland and was one ate fame.
ly of ten childreu, who with their par-
ents, Robt. McMichael and his wife,
moved to Canada in 1841. Steam-
boats were not in use at that time
and It took the sailing vessel in which
they came 6 weeks to cross the ocean
and they were detained four weeks
more in the St. Lawrence River,
Fermi Hamilton they travelled over-
land in wagons looking for land and
came to the district then known as
Huron Tract. While prospecting
they arrived at a fine creek in a part
now known as the township of Me-
Killop. Along the banks there was
a beaver meadow with plenty of hay.
There were thorn trees there and
wild plums, black currants, goose-
berties and strawberries. This seem-
ed to the mother to be the land of
promise and she decided that there
the family would lodge. They called
their farm the "Standalarre." Sept.
lath, 1846, Margaret McMichael Was
married to Jolla N. Knechtel, of Eg-
mondville, who with his parents, had
come from Germany. There was in
Bgmondville at that time only a store
a saw mill, a brewery, a trumety, a
shoe shop and a few houses. In Sea -
forth there was only a small shanty,
and the ground was a swamp. At
Egmondville there were 4 children
born ;-John who died when 8 years
old ; Grace, now the wife of James A.
Wilson, of Saginaw., Michigan ; Daniel
who died in Chicago 2 years ago and
Valetitine, now of Victoria, B. C.
While in Egniondville, evety year
the family had fever and ague and on
this accouut they moved to Brussels,
which was then called Ainlayville.
This was in January 1855. At that
tine it took two days to make the
trip when the roads were good. In
the Spring and Fall at certain swam-
py places a load had to be dumped
and taken across piecemeal. In Ain-
layville a log house was bnilt, the
partitions being made of leather taken
from Egmondville. This was the
third house in the village, one having
been built by William Abney and one
by a Mr. Ponder. Mr. Knechtel
started there with a shoe shop and a
year later opened a store. Some
years thereafter he built a tannery
and in the same building ran a harn
ess shop. He tired of these occupa-
tions however and finally gave thezn
all up and went to foaming. In Brus-
sels 7 childt en were born t -Margaret,
who became the wife of Noble ChM,
of Seafotth, and died 11 years ago ;
Abraham, now in the Forestry Branch
at Ottawa ; Robert, who is a doctor
of medicine in Winnipeg ; Annie,
wife of Rev, David Petrie, VVinghant ;
Ames, a ,bachelor, who has lived
with his mother a farenee
near Walton and Thomas a farmer le
Saskatchewan. The family then cone
sistecl of eleven children and besides
these a niece, Dateline, had been
adopted, who became the wife of
Daniel Stewart of Brussels. In 1
the farrn at Breese's was rented and
Mr. kneehtel went to Manitoba and
purchased a farm near killavney and
started a store in the village. This
was a great mistake. lie was then
