There passed away on Friday, Dec.
4th., at her home on the third line of
Morris, Elizabeth Johnston, beloved
wife of Mr.- Archie Brydges, after a
lingering illness.
She was born in 1854 itt the Town-
ship of Cartwright, where, she ° lived
for eight years. In '1862 " she, with
her parents, moved to. East Wawa -
nosh and settled en the farm now oc-:
copied by Charles Johnston. There
she lived for twenty-five years, gett-
ing her day school education and la-
ter helping with the many primitive
tasks in connection with early pioneer
life.
In 1887 she was married to • Mr.
Archie Brydges, whom she leaves to
mourn her loss.' Of her, own family
there are only two members now liv-
ing' vizi—Tlliain of the ti ninth of
East Wawanosh and Charles of New
Ontario.
Throughout the entire if of Mrs.
Brydges there marts a nark of the
spirit of hospitality, of a friendship to-
wards mankind and of a faithful work-
er of the church, And it was with a
spirit of deep regret that the com-
munity heard of the lose of a helping
friend and an obliging neighbor, and
the esteem: in which she was held was
testified to by the many friends who

COUNTY COUNCIL SITTING T1`I
THE LAST SESSION OF THE
'YEAR
Engineer Patterson Thinks. Blue
Water Highway Should Be .•
Taken. Over by Province
(Goderich
Signal)
The Huron County i
C y Council. is hold-
ing its last session, of the year this
week. •••All the members are in atten-
dance. The session opened rt op on Tues-
day afternoon..
The clerk announced that, since the ,.
last: meeting of council death had re
moved one of its members in 'the per-
son of the late George B. Hanley,
Reev't • of the township of Stanley, and
that he had received 'a certificate of
the election of Mr. John A. Manson
to the vacancy. ` Mr. Manson had
made the necessary. declaration and
was entitled to sit in Council.
The Warden` in briefly. addressing
the council welcomed the new Reeve
of Stanley. He spoke of the annual
meeting of the Clildren's Aid Society.
which he had attended, and stated.
that at that meeting a resolution had
been passed in favor of, " a proposal
that the Legislature enact legis:ation
under which a definite levy could be
made upon a county for the assistan-
ce of the. Children's Aid Society.
Such a measure was not needed for
Huron County, where the, work of the
Children's Aid Society had been well
supported by the county council, but
it was felt that it would help Socie-
ties in counties 'where the work was
riot supported as it should. be. The
Warden had been placed on the exe-
tutive of; the Children's Aid Society,
which he considered a good thing,, ,as
it would keep• the, county council in
touth with the work..
The bad: weather of the fall had in-
terfered with the county's program of
road work, a:tlxough the bridge work
planned had been pretty well carried
out, said the Warden.
Among the communications present-
ed to. council was one from the .,On-
tario Motor League asking that the
county pass a bylaw to compel,alll ve-
hicles to carry lights at night on the
highways. . This was referred to the
special committee.
A statement from the Department'
of Education of the grants to confirm-
ation schools in the county was as roil.
lows: Blyth, $894.77; Brussels, $888,-

The annual- reports and financial
statements of the various hospitals—
at Goderich, Wrnghanx, Clinton,: and,.
Seaforth--were received.
Applications from several confirma-
tion and high schools for statutory
payments ` for 'maintenance. of county'
of Huron pupils were received. Among -
these wdre claims of London Conegi-
ate' Institute, $2a5,38; South London
C. i., $74.58, and :London Technical
Sehool, $1245.
