Editor of The News -Record: Dear .Si ,—I -notice in the.Bayfield news column of last week, your cor- respondent said that the trustees of Bayfield "resigned in a body to avoid spending the funds of the village to contest the action brought about by certain parties to upset the election of rune 2th." Now this is entirely wrong. Mr. ;MacLeod, of course, is completely ,innocent of anything wrong in the matter; hut the. other two had no intention of resigning un- til they got ' legal advice and were told that they would have to defend• the case with their own money. As for your correspondent insisting on or referring to Bayfield as "found- ling," I think it would be more to his or her credit to drop all sarcasm and just give plain facts. - —E. F. MFRNER. A HURON PIONEER'S TRAIL (By Austin L. Bridge, Hamilton) Iluron has just been living over gain\ the old days by celebrating the Centennial. ' The memorials which re- lnain of the pathfinders and pioneers have very properly been reverenced, A. movement should now be launched to mark and describe traces of their life and work which are failing back into obscurity. Attention is hereby drawn to a clear and interesting trace of foot -prints by . a . generation long since gone. Itis of a trail through the woods; travelled for many years by ox -team and jumper, and; later by horses and wagons, stili so hard that nothing has grown toobliterate its winding course. The blaze cut- in the sides of trees to guide ttite teamsters is distinctly Teen. The clear bark of the beeches has re- tained the marks the best but there are maples where the deep -cuts of axes on the inside also are plainly vis- ible. Stumps Care crumbling which no doubt were prominently blazed, the great trees apparently: turned over in wind -storms and cut into wood. A large.stone'with its face still -slightly above' the ground bears the narks of the heavy wagon or sleigh which grated across. Many a time its flinty head brought sparks: from the.: wheel or' sleigh runner. This ancient landmark is on the 'Tarin of Mr. Peter • W. Scott, sixth Concession of East W;awanosh. The large block of woods, one of the best preserved and valuable in the County, is south of his residence. The said trail was used by the stream of set- tlers going up and down that conese. sion and pushing further into Morris. 1t left the Gravel . Road somewhere' near the gate of Mr: Joshua W'alsh and kept the highland for a couple of miles westward., At present the. trail is quite distinct at Nethery's'side-road about ten rod$ south, of 1V1r, John Coultes' gate. That is the best place to locate the same and walk over it, a distance of over forty rods, The path is still so hard and smooth that one's'feet,will keep it almost as safely as on the highway,!

Stewart, of Wingham, said that there was no disease, but that the system was just worn out, She leaves one sister, Jane who is in her gist year, and a distant relative Alex Bryans who came ' from Ireland nearly 20 years ago to Iook after the family, which, consisted at the time of Ed- ward, who died in 1918 at the age of 95; William, who died in 1917 in his 82nd year; 1FIa ry, buried yesterday, and Jane, who survives. The Byrans were staunch Protestants, members of Trinity church, BeIgrave, and loyal Conservatives. Through industry and perseverance they gathered together a large amount of property and their home is one of the finest in Morris township., GODIIRICIr•:, Commenting on. the ititproveuxents that; are being made in the office: of the registrar of the sur- rogate court Hurbn, which include a steel filing, system, and which a;i11 cost 'sonje $3,500, His Hondr Judge Lewis made the ' statement that, there were sixty three.' - million dollars' worth -of wills .filed in the office. These astonishingly largefigures he quoted to show 'the general prosper- ity of the county. One morning re- Gently, ha stated; before leaving to attend court, he filed no less than 8225;000 of wills. A will covering property of $173,000 and two others of $90,000 each were filed recently, "and all farmer's wilre," His Honor added, and went on to state that there .was no other county on the North American' continent, where a man could do so well in agriculture, point- ing to cases of men able, toretire and live the remainder of their lives on their earnings- from their farm, made in their more active' years.' In addi- tion to the. filing of wills in 'this of- fice, all the supreme court judgments for the county are kept on file there, so that a verylarge amount of filing space is required..
