W. T., and who went there some time in August, is ex- pected home at the close of the. School, on or about the 28th of the month. She has secured one of the departments of the Hensall School, and has to report there for duty on the 4th,- of January. She is not very favorably impressed with the appearance of things up there, al- though salaries are much higher there than here, Messrs. Hess & Deicbert have let the contracts for clearing the wood and lumber from the Win. Lamont place, in Stanley, to Messrs. Nicho las Foster and Wm. Baker, and both are now hard at work, with several men in their employ, oper- ating at different places in the bush It is Messrs. Bess & Dsiclaert's in- tention to rush the work through as quickly as possible, and bothlthe pontractors are as eager to do so as the principals, and will lose no time in striving to attain the same end. Huron Will Supply Hay.—At the present time there is not much chance of hay accumulating on the farmers hands if it is at all good, and there is still less likelihood for the coming year, as Mr. A. Darling; of the Huron'road, McKillop, has received the contract of supplying the new stock yards in Toronto. .Phis will mean a lot of hay from Huron county alone, in addition to the hundreds of tons baled and shipped annually by other export- ers.—News Record. The Clinton News -Record says The Rouse of Refnge is an econ- omically run institution', the aver- age cost of mantainance per capita per day being less than fourteen cents. This includes the expen- ditures on salaries, etc. The actual cost of living is only about half that amount. The inmates have been getting butter :three times a dap this past year, and it may surprise some to learn that the cost of but- ter alone is'about twenty per' cent of the total expenditure for food and clothing." Notwithstanding the fact that it is now nearing the time for the selection of Municipal Councillors to represent the "free and indepen- dent" electorate for the coming year, we have not heard a word as to who will, or will not, bo candi- dates. We were in hopes of having several election addresses adver- tised in THE HERALD before this, but that the prospects are not bright for making any considerable "pot" from the aspirants to the several positions of the present and adjacent townships is now quite apparent. Tuesday -evening, the 22nd, is the date for the holding of the public school concert in the Town Hall. Do not fail to bo present as the entertainment will be good—much better than that put before the foot -lights by many of the travel- ling entertainers—and besides it is more talent and worthy the patron- age and encouragement of all who take an interest in educational matters. Young men and women of the surrounding district are especially invited and expected to be present. The general admission is only 15 cents each. Proceeds in aid of school requisites and library. One of the heaviest snow storms which we have had for some years, commenced here on Saturday morn- ing and continued until towards evening,1 when it turned to rain which continued well on in the night, when the wind, which was more or less southerly, vered to the westward bringing severe frost and a blizzard accompanied by fine par- ticleslof snow. This continued all day on Sunday and the greater pant of Monday as well, keeping most of the residents in -doors, and filling tip the roads in such a way as to make it diffiorllt for pedestrians and dan- gerous for horses and rigs. Parties in this section: contemplat ing spending the Christmas or New Year's holidays on visits to friends at any place along the lines of Rail- way, are reminded that single first- class fares will take then to and from any place in Canada, going on the 24th and 25th of the month and good to return up to and including the 28th for Christmas; also good going Dec. 31st. and Jan. 1st., and good to return up to and including Jan. 4th, for New Year's. A fare - and -a -third ticket is good going Dec 28rd, 24th and 25th, as well as the 30th, 31st. and Jan. lst., and good returning up to and including Jan. 5th, 1904. This information is giv- en for the benefit of our readers and is in no sense intended as an adver- tisement for the Railtivays, who, al- though willing,and even anxious:to grant free -passes ;to members of Parliament, who receive milage going to and from their Parliament a.ry duties—show no favor to the press, wlio keep the people posted as to the hour's of arrival and de- parture, as well as the movements of tlx trains generally. Miss Ina hb«lie spent a few days with her friend, Miss 11,%ston, in Goderich township. Miner, It., Dec. 10th., 1993. DEA'a EDTron; As some- of my friends asked me to write then I said I would write a letter to THE. H5RALD, so they. Could all read it. Leaving Zurich on the morning of the 5th of Nov. taking the stage to Hensall and after paying short visits to Mt Owen Geiger and Mr. Young- blut, we took the evening train for London.; from there • to Chicago, arriving there at 7.30.in, the morn- ing, but.dicln'tet thrungh the city much, as WS. Gallman was tired, We thought we would stay over. when we came back any Way and then we would see the city. The next place we aimed for was Hope- dale, a town in central Ill. On our way going through Blooming town there we cbangecl again, leaving Bloomington at, 2,40 in the after- noon and.arriving at Hopedale at 3.30 in the afternoon, where our sons, Henry J. and Joseph are located. This is the finest country I ever saw; all the fanners are busy husking their great crop of corn. After staying about two weeks here in Ill., we started on a trip for Missouri, to pay a visit to where Itir. Daniel Burkholder is located,going by the way of Peoria. Ills., which is a city with a popula- tion of a million and a half, leaving there for Purdin, Mo., and going throngh Burlington, a city with a ponnlation of twenty three thou- sand, this is a city in Iowa. Going through this state we saw some nice farms and fine buildings ; go- ing on till the afternoon we got into the state of Mo., which is a rolling state, arriving at Purdin at 3.15 in the afternoon, my brother- in-law, Mr, Burkholder, met us at the station and soon took us - miles over the hills and valleys to his home, where we found a nice com- fortable house, and my sister, Carrie, soon had the table set with lots of good things. After doing justice to them we soon retired for that night as we were tired, so next morning we got up in good time and took a view over the country, Missouri is a fine state and the people are very kind to one -another and they take particular notice of strangers. When they pass you on the road they say how -do how -do. They are just as sociable as one world wish them, Getting through the biggest part of Linn County I met only two miles that didn't have telephone wires ; every farmer has a telephone in the house and it costs theni very little. I would think this would be a great improvement to our country. I had oocasion to. see Mr. William Burkholder, now a man of some eighty years old. Mr. Burkholder used to own and occupy the farm adjoining Zurich where Mr. Peter Koehler now lives and he sends his best regards to all his old friends. The next was to see my nephews and niece, of which there are eight, and us they live some distance apart. WO had a, lot of driving to do, but it was a common thing for them to take us over the hills and valleys at the rate of 9 miles an hour. Missouri is a great stock Country. When you get up on some high place yon can count hundreds of hay stacks and thou- sands of head of cattle. Coming Onus: the road one day I saw afine lot of mules -75 in one field—all 2 years old. •Staving in Missouri a a little over a, week we returned to Ill. again and after staving here a few days yet, we will start for Huron County, Mich. Before I went to this state I expected to see some mud but I never saw better roads than in both Missouri and Illinois. Yours Truly Joni; GALLMAN'.
