Is Laid at r est an Tuescialp. Clinton has seldom had such a shock as was felt on Saturday even- ing when it became known that Dr J. C. Gaudier had passed away sud- denly as. the result of a heart at-, tack. Dr. Gaudier was going over to sea Dr. Shaw to consult about a patient of the latter and was also on the way to the hospital. It is supposed that he had remembered a bottle of med- icine which he wished to take along and ran back to. the house for it, and it may be lie had not again entered the car, as he lied fallen beside it, or he may have stepped out of it a- gain. 1% r. Howard Williams came along and found him and at once summon- ed medical aid, but -he was past all aid. Deathhadbeen ins n• d to tinea s. u What made the shock so severe • Was the fact that he had •appeared, and had remarked' himself, on, his perfect' health, having just that day remarked to: his wife .that he felt better than he had. for years. To say that Dr. Gandier will he missed in this town and community is too mild a statement altogether, the news of his passing struck one and all as news of a public calamity. He was so busy a man, so much ire demand as a surgeon, not only in his local practise, but by brother' physicians in all the surrounding towns and communities, that he.held D a unique place and aaplace which it H wilt be very difficult to fill. Hr was rapidly coining to be known as one of the leading surgeons of West- ern Ontario, and he was also the be - I) Ioved family doctor in hundreds of T homes; where he often brought hope a and courage and health out of hope lessness and invalidism. ! t N Dr. Gandier was born of English e parents in Fort Colounge, Que., be.

Advertiser, Jun 19th issue, and refers to the tides son of "Mr. and Mrs, H. J. Thompso of Goderich township: "The Rev. G. R. Thompson, wh was recently admitted a priest as sedate of the S. S. J.

In addition to His Lordship and the rector -elect five priests of the deanery of Avon took part in the ceremony which was a most impressive and inspiring one. Many members of other con- gregations were present at the ser- vice, among them being Rev. A. A. Macleod, 1 cd pastor for of the United church• and Rev. W. C. Mitchum, pastor of the Baptist church.

Taylor, rector of Hantsport, also assisted in the service. In opening the induction service proper, His Lordship read an exhor- tation from the altar', following which he caused the congregation to kneel in prayer. A hymn was af- terwards sung and at the end the Bishop seated in his official chair at chancel steps, with the rector elect standing before hiny he read aloud the letters of institution and induc- tion, The rector -elect then knelt and received them and a copy of the Book of ComMon prayer and the Holy Bible. On rising the candidate re- peated aloud the oaths and declara- tions previously taken when seeking holy orders. The Bishop then gave the new rector his episcopal blessing. The wardens presented him with al' the keys of the church 'and rectory thereby acknowledging him as thr lawful incumbent of the parish. They then installed him in the rector's of- ficial seat in the church. The Bishop and rector then pro. ceeded in turn, to the font in. the baptistry, prayer desk, lecturer, pul- pit, and altar, and at each station the Bishop read scriptural injunctions and exacted a promise from the. rec- tor that he would perform the duties - of his office at' each station thereat His Lordship was the special preach and delivered a forceful special rmon.

W. TREWARTHA: Mr. Trewartha was chosen by acclama- tion at a special nomination last Ap- -ril to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mayor S. S. Cooper, and was returned by acclamation at the annual nomination in December, Mr, Trewartha is to novice at municipal work, having served as reeve- in Goderich township for several years, being warden of the oounty one term, also as township clerk in Goderich township. He has also served as reeve of Clinton for a term or two, having had all told about fifteen years experience in municipal work. He is a good man for the position, being a man o e good judgment, care- ful and not easily stampeded. He will, as in the past, "guide the af- fairs of the town 'with discretion." REEVE GEORGE II. ELLIOTT was also returned by acclamation at the aninuaI nomination. He has serv- ed as councillor and reeve for sever- al years, is steadily gaining in ex- perience and is a good servant of the town. .He is interested in municipal affairs and takes an especial inter- est en the work of the county coun- cil. Reeve Elliott is a good choice for the position. COU NCILLO' R O. L, }?'AISLEX comes honestly by his interest is- municipal tmunicipal 'affairs, as his father :be- fore be -fore him was so interested for over. forty years. Ho and his father sat side by side at the council 'table in later years. Ile is a good councillor gjvipg, thought and care to the of labia of the - municipality; belis. careful of the peoples' money Ise not stinting., it when spending tsthe, proper and right thing to do. He has for some years been head of the financial committee. - COUNCILLOR LIVERMORE is now a man of experience at the -council table, having occupied a place at it for many years. Ile is always interested in the things which he believes to be for the best inter- ests of time town, looks well after the affairs of the committees to which he is appointed, and in open council ,can state his views clearly and forcibly. He believes in mak- ing the town as pleasant a place in which to dwell as it is possible, and to this end would retain all its nat- ural beauty but would add to it by the cultivation of tree and shrub andel flower. He sets a good example in this by cultivating a pleasant gar- den of his own, which in the sunnier time le a delight to the eye. COUNCILLOR W. G: COOK is a young man who is also gaining ex- nerience as a public administrator, having been a member of the coun- cil for several years. He works hard on committees and allies every question presented the benefit of sane judgement. Ile never becomes excited but can discuss any question before the council calmly and with- out heat, then vote according to his own best judgment. COUNCILLOR A. S. INKLEY is a new man. He, together with all the above, was returned by acclamation at the annual nomination in Decem- ber. He has had no municipal ex- perience and it remains to be seen whether' he will stake a good eowt- ciller. But he is willing to try his hand and we make no doubt will do his share. He is also interested in town beautification and is this yea-• president of the Horticultural So- ciety. COUNCILLOR W. S. P. IlOLMEi' Wilt) was elected on Monday, is not a new man at the council table, as be has served befcre in this capacity and was considered a eempetitent ad- ministrator, lie is interested in the • town and its prosperity and has al- ways shown himself willing to spend some time in assisting in the management of its affairs. He is not keen for municipal henou•s. plainly declaring that he was net going to canvas for votes, but if el- ected would do his best for the town's interests. COUNCILLOR WILLIAM WAI.- REF is a new man mi the job. He was elected on Mendes?, tine first time he ever offered himself as a candidate for municipal honours, al- though he Inas served on the Public - school board for more than one term. He makes no extravagant claims to ability but is willing to devote who' ho possesses to the service of his municipality and at the nomination the other evening he demonstrated that the had some ideas as to the conduct of town affairs which may be helpful, Altogether the council for 198" leeks as if it might clo seine good work and, hi view of the fact that ea are all anxious for the success of our own town, it would be well to give these men hearty support dur- ing the year, so that they may be able to perform their tasks to the best of their ability.
