DIED IN MANITOBA.—It is with
feelings of sorrow that we announce
the death of Susanna Jane, only
daughter of Mr. James Churchill,
fot?merly of Goderich township anal
Olii''hton. The sad event took place at
Creeford, Man. on Dec. 28th, and the
interment at Medford on the 30th.
About a year and a half since the
deceased along with her father removed
from Clinton to Creeford. The climate
there did not seem to agree with the
young lady. Soon the bright young
life was on the threshold of eternity and
the final summons came. Miss Church-
ill was a"native of Goderich township,
of a jovial and cheerful disposition, and
delighted to make others happy. To
the widowed father and brothers of a
devoted sister and daughter the sym-
pathy oX a very large circle of acquaint-

lows :—

S. S. Cooper 131
Wm. Cooper 31
J. B. Hoover 58
Chas. Overbury 73
ST. GEORGE'S WARD
In years gone by this ward was
known far and near as the "noble
ward." This year there has been a
notable change. Mr. Young declined

Messrs. Bruce, Plummer and Searle,

Politically, eight Reform and three
Conservative ; occupation, one pub-
lisher, three gentlemen, two contrac-
tors, one painter, one grocer, one dry -
goods merchant, one shoe -dealer, one
dentist, while the new school trustee is
a shoemaker and dealer.
While the electors have decided
iil
against thein, we must say that Coun-
cillors ' 7
sloe.4 P1 Inirner andr
Armstrong have
in the past been faithful to the Town
and zealous in the discharge of their
duties. We regret particularly the
absence of the name of Councillor
Plummer. In the past he has had the
Mine and devoted it ungrudgingly to
what he considered the best interests
of the Town.
There is considerable work ahead of
the New Council if the suggestions at
election time are carried out. During
the year 1895 reports of the proceedings
will be found in these columns and we
trust there will not he great reason for
complaint a year hence. The follow-
ing suggestions are on the hoards :-
A TOWN CLO(•K.
GETTER STREETS.
A SYSTEM OF WATER WORKS.
A PORK FACTORY.
A FURNITURE FACTORY.
I.OWER TAXATION.
People generally will acknowledge
that this will he more than enough for
the new Council to wrestle with dur-
ing the next twelve months.
