Going Ahead. -We notice by, the
Free Press of OcOnomowec, Wiscon-
sin, that another Seaforth boy is
coming teethe front. At the spring
municipal elections Mr. Harry C.
Town, eldest son. of Mr. H. Town, of
Seaforth, was elected treasurer of
theetteity by a majority of 203 over
hisrSopponent. The fact of Mr. Town
having been elected to so responsible
a position by so large a vote shows
the esteem in which he is hell byhis
fellow eitizems and the confidence
they repose in him. Mr. Town's old
friends here will unite with us in ex-
tending to him congratulations on
• his suecess and we hope he may long
enjoy the honors and emoluments of
his new position.

A Correcticin.-A couple of errors
°counsel in Mr. Treivartha's letter
which we published last week, on
creameries; and which made him say,
something different from what' he
intended. He is made to say: "1
"also measured eight inches of cream
"out every morning for our own
"use which made the four pounds
"of butter a week which we used."
What he die say was,_ thathe meas-
ured eight inohes of cream out ev-
ery morning which made eight lbs.
of butter, churned every two weeks,
or four pounds of butter a week.
He is also made to say; When us-
ing a separator never put the
" milk in until it is cold, and then
"keep it well stirred/' It should
have been: The hot cream should
not be mixed with the cold cream
until it is thoroughly cooled, and
then- kept well stirred before the
test eream istaken out of it. With
these corrections Mr. Treeevarthy,41
remarks will be intelligible.
Our Boys. -The Brnssels Post in
referring -to the foot ball match
held in that town last week between.
the Hurons of Seaforth and theirrus-
sels club, says: "Brown Jackson,
of Seaforth, was the referee and his
decisions gave satisfaction to both
teams. -The Seaforth team was az-
compaiaied by, severel of , their towns-
people. They are a gentlemanly lot
of young men and will make the op-
posing teams in the.senior series
hustle this stetson. The match on
Monday evening was nOt in Connec-
tion with any, programme but mere,-
ly a friendly practise glame for both
teams. Some Wingham enthusiasts
terested as they have n Intermed -
took in the match beil specially ine-

' The Town Council.e-Ait the regular
meeting of the town council held -en
Monday evening the clerk was in-
structed to advertise for tenders for
-the completion of the drainage works
under the by-law , voted an and
carried by the property owners last
January, .tenders to- be _received un-
til the first of June; the work to
be commenced not later than the
1st of. July and to be completed not
later: than the first of October. The
clerk was also instructed. to notify
the John Dick Company that alter -
the first of June next the town will
not be able to furnish them with
water from the water Works except
such as can be taken at the regular
times for pumping and the chairman
of the fire, and water Committee
was instructed to nalify the en-
gineer at the water, works not to
do any extra pumping fiu• any person
after the date named.; The reason
for this action is that tf e evatergets
so low in the creek in the summer
, that extra pumping e1 :idangers the
supply for fire protection purposos.
The. Mayor was also requested to In-
struct the policeman lo perindical-
lyvisit all the private hydrants- and
and tanks receiving to%sin water and
if be . finds tiny hydrants or tank
valves left open so as to permit a
-waste of water eontrary to the by-
law to have the. particis in default
prosecuted. In accordance:- with a
request front the count:701 the Elec-
tric Light Companysubmitted pro-
positions -for the sale of the whole
of the present plant to the town;
for the sale of th-e arc lighting part
of the plant with whi0 to do the.
-town lighting, and the terms and
price for which they will renew the
present contract for 'terms of five
and ten years. ,The Mayor was re-
quested to call 7.a public; meeting of
the ratepayers at an early date to
consider these various .propositions
anet-to advise the ceuricit in the mat-
ter. -A communication from Mr. J.
M. Bes(, barrister,- on behalf of -Miss
Halpin, claiming damages for the
flooding of her residence by water
during the recent ire-Oh:et, was refer-
red to the street -committee to en -
;quire into the merits of the com-
plaint and to re -port at the next reg -
utter meeting of the council. A by-
law, -introduced by Councillor Wil-
lis, forbidding the practice. of spit-
ting on the sidewalks of the town,
:was passed. Councillor Cardno gave
notice that at the next regular meet-
ing of the eouncil he will move, to
athend the bread by-law so as to per-
mit bakers to sell a ponnd and a
halt loaf of bread instead of one of
Leo pounds. A petition, properly
signed, asking for the watering of
Main street was presented and the
'contract for watering 'the streets
was awarded to Morrow Brothers.
The offer of Mr. F. Gutteridge to
construct the cornea side wa I ks in
the town for. thie year, at the rate
of ten and a half cepts per foot,
and under the same agreement as
formerly, was accepted. Several pe-
titions for cement side walks were
received and all tItat had the requis-
ite number of signatures attached
to them were accepted and a by-law
passed, to carry, out the work as soon
as th,e time specified by law will per-
mit, and those not properly signed
were ordered to be returned to the
petitioners for completion. We may
say a petition of this kind requires
to have on it ehe signatures of two
thirds of the property owners whose
properties are to be taxed and the
property of the.petitioners must be
rated 00 the assessment roll for
one half of the value of all the pro-
perty. The date for the Court of
Revision was fixed for Tuesday, May
31, at 10 o'clock a. m., in the coun-
cil roqm; the usual grist of accounts
was passed and a few other items
of business of minor importance at-
tended to and the council adjourned
to meet at the call of the Mayor.
Things in Winnipeg. -A gentleman
who left here several weeks ago to
reside in Winnipeg, Manitoba, write.ii
on April 5th, as follow"I am
very favorably impressed with this
country, especially the city of Win-
nipeg. We have, also, had, lovely,
weather here since I arrived. For
the past ten -days the thermometer
has been around 85 every day. Seed-
ing is well on in many localities, the
grass is quite green and the trees are
out in leaf. One of the great draw-
backs here is, living is so high and
especially house rents.They, are out
of all proportion to the wages paid.
I have as yet been unable to get a
house to live in and have almost de-
cided to allow my family to remain
in Ontario this year rents are so un-
reasonable."

Almost a Serious' Fire.-OnSunday
morning last about nine o'clock our
citizens were disturbed at their Sun-
day breakfasts by the dread fire a-
larm. It was soon ascertained that
the scene. of the trouble was Dick's
hotel. at is supposed that a spark
from the kitchen chimney had a-
lighted on the roof of the kitchen',
burning through the roof and runt
'Ilene up inside to the main part Of
the frame addition at the rear of the
hotel. The firemen were soak on the
spot but found it very difficult tO
got ati- the seat of the fire as
there sras such a net work of roofs
that as soon- ate they, got out the fire
in one part it broke out in another.
Howeve J. i t was subsequently sub-
dued nd the building was saved
with ve y little injury, comparative-
ly speaking. The roof of the kitch-
en was 1 broken through in several
places and several of the rooms in
the maip part of the hotel were dam-
aged by ' water and the loss through-
out will be considerable, but it is
well covered by insurance an the
serious inconvenience occasioned will
be the main part of Mr. Dick's loss.
Too much praise can not be given the
firemen for the splendid work they
did under very difficult circumstan-
ces. Had the fire got into theanain
building of the hotel it is hard to
say where it would have stopped, as
everything was very dry and there
was , quite a breeze at the time and
the consequences might have been
serious, not alone to Mr. Dick but to ;
other property owners in the neigh- 1
eoorhood. Owing to some of the ptti- •
va to hydrants or tanks around town i
having been left open, it was full/ [
25 minute e before the engineer could i

get up suffipient pressure, where-
as he should lime had pressure en-
ough in less than half that time.
This is a very, serious matter and
might result in disastrous conse-
quences to the town. There is a by-
law forbidding those having the use
of the town water leaving their hy-
draets or tanks open, under a pen-
alty. The mayor should instruct
the policeman to visit all those places
-periodically, and where he finds per-
sons violating the provisions of the
by-law, have them summohect- be-
fore the police megistrate and fined.
This should be done without fear or
favor and regardless of persons, and
if an example were made of two or,
three in this way there would be
less cause for complaint on this
se OTC.

A good. Suggest P. Carey,
of Cobourg, makes the following ex-
cellent and timely suggestion in the
last number of the Canadian Horti-
cutturadist. It is as applicable to
this county as fro any other dilitrict
in the Province; " There is a good
opening for a man who will buy a
sprayer and contract with farmers
to spray their prchards at a nomin-
al price, say 50 per tree. Hundreds
of farmers are anxious to have their
orchards sprayed, but cannot afford
to do the work, and do not know
how to go about it. A man with a
spraying outfit who will do this
work can make a handsome income
in the same way that the threshers
do in the fall." It is now an accept-
ed fact that good fruit cannot be
successfully grown unless the trees
are properly sprayed. There is, al-
so, always a ready market and pay-
ing prices for good, clean fruit of
the right varieties.
Football. -The first football match
of the season was platted here on Fri-
day evening last between Wing -ham
and the Hurons second team. The
game was in L he Intermediate series
and gave some idea of the relative
strength of the teams in theedistrict.
The game was a good One although
the score of four to nothing in favor
of Seaforth may give it e one eided
appearance. Wing ha m has a good
team with considerable snap and go,
but they lack the 'ability to shoot
on goal and. that is where they lost.
by so large a score on Friday. Of
course neither team had had the
practice necessery for first class
football, but it was a good starter
and was above the average in the In-
termediate class. The next game
will be played this Friday, in Brus-
sels, between thp Hurons II and the
champion Brussels players.
-A practise game was played on
the recreation grounds on Wednes-
day evening, between Stretford and.
the Hurons, whicb resulted in a
victory for the Hurons by two goals
to one. Stratford have a good team
and are looked upon as claimants for
the intermediate champioaship.

Death of a Worthy Pioneer. -It be-
comes our sad duty to'chroniclethe
death of one of the pioneers of the
township of I -shone, in the person
of John McInnes, who died at Exeter
on Tuesdes--Aast, the 10th inst.' He
was born on the island of Tyree, Ar-
gykshiree Scotland, in the year 1830
and when be was but a few weeks
old his parents and family came to
Canada and settled in the township
of Dalhousie, in the county of Lan-
ark, and roughed it there while that
part was in a very primitive state.
In the year 1851 he came west and
located on the Thames road in 13s -
borne, his parents ana family fol-
lowing hire two years later. In 11361
he was converted under the ministre't
of the Rev. John Hooper and. a* once
became a member of the Bible Chris-
tian Church. In 1882 he married
Eliza Passmore, elde.st daughter ef
the late William Passmore, of Us -
borne. He resided some years near.
Woodham, where he occupied the po-
eition of class leader and Sabbath
sehool superindmident at RP hobath
church. He moved to Exeter in 187
and settled on Elizabeth street,where
he remained until -death called hiea
home. He was a teacher and class
leader for many years in connection
with James street Methodist deurchr
of Exeter. He was one of a family;
of fourteen, three sons and eleven
daughters. He leaves an affection-
ate wife, one brother and three es-
ters to mourn his loss. He was a
good MILD in the highest sense of the
term; a useful citizen, a staunch,
true friend and a congenital com-
panion. Hie death is a distinct loss
to the community in which he had
lived so kong and where he was so
highly and so deservedly respected.
-Hon. Hugh John Macdonald, Mrs.
Macdonald and their only son, Jack
Macdonald, left Winnipeg or French
Lake, Indiana, last week. Mrs. Mac-
donald tend young Jack will stay
there for the Season for the purpose
of permitting Master Maedonald,who
s at present in poor bealth, to gain
all possible benefit by a change at
the lakeside.
