Mr Willain Flintoff of Sands Lake, Richton, ie yislting hie sister, Mrs. A. Huller of this township. Mr. W. S. Archer has for some time been moving his effects to the Moffat farm at Varna which he has rented for a terra of years. On Monday a num- ber of his ueighbors assisted him and In about a week hence he will be comfortably located in his new home. The farm of which Mr. Archer takes possession is a fine one and calls for a big rental. Mr. Archer M an indus- trious and thorough farmer and will make the most of those fertile acres. He has been a kind and obliging neigh- bor and as such we commend him to the section to which he goes. On Tuesday afternoon of last week a P_ublio examination was held in the hlolmeeville school. Afterwards Rev. Mr. Hussar took the chair and short talks were given by Miss Elliott, the clever principal of the Porter's Hill school, Mr. Walsh, who has been in sharge of the Tipperary school for the past year, and Mi. 0. H. Hollsod, his successor. Mr. Samuel Sturdy', one of the trustees, alma spoke and made a contrast of the present well equipped school with the little log building and long pine ,desks which were in vogue when hi attended. Mr. Sturdy's remihiscences brought back for the time being to the older generation present those happy days "when you and I were young." At five o'clock lunch was served whoa a program of considerable length followed,. the children taking part very well indeed and reflected much credit upon their teacher, Mr. N. W. Trewartha, who trained them. Mr. Trewartha has been principal of this school for two and a half years and during the whole of that time did splendid work. He won the respect and confldence of the scholars and the whole section and much re- gret is felt that he has resigded. He is a sterling young man and we wish him good health, success and happy years. On Fridey afternoon, the last teaching day of the year and Mr. Trewartha's last day as a teacher, the echolarg presented hiin with an address which was accompanied by a beautiful bible and a handsome gent's toilet set. Mr. Trewartha was taken by surprise,:but thanked the school in a neat way for the tokene of their regard. The -years he had spent among them, •he said, were happy one' and he would ever cherish the remembrance of them. Mt.. C. LEL Holland, who will be principal of the' Tipperary school for 1902, has the reputation of being a good teacher and is an well well and favor- ably known in the section.

Swartz of the Huron hotel, had quite an experience on Sunday last. Coming along the square he stood at e.n iron tie post at Butler's book store and stooping over it he found that hie breath turned the irod white, having frozen upon it. Theta for the sake of experimenting upon the sante he touch- ed the post with his tongue and the result can be imagined. Poor little fellow, he could do nothing but stamp his feet upon the sidewalk. No one passed for some 'minutes but at last two boys came along and finding what was the matter ran and got cold water and soon liberated Master Jack who is none the worse for his new experience. Mr. Ferguson, market clerk, received the sad news of his son Wittier:ifs death from a relapse of diphtheria at Fresno, California. Willie left Goderich for Detroit a couple of years ago.

When Arthur J.

For us the china painting hod the greatest attraction. Some really beautiful articles were on exhibition, The water colors; repremented Inostir marine views and looked very pretty as well as some photo frames. . It seems sad that at the joyous Christmas season so many homes are steeped in sorrow.. It is our sad duty to note this week the death on Thurs- day a, m. at the home of his daughthr, Lake Shore, Colborne, of Wm. Kerr, father of Mrs. W. Rhynas Goder- ich and Mrs. &don Hunter of Colborne.

The town of Goderich vs. Goderich Elevator Company was taken up at the Woodstock assizes last week, In 1898 after the old elevator at Goderich •harbor was burned the town was anxious to get a enew, one built. The defendant company was formed for this purpose and an agreement mitered into whereby the town was to take fifty thousand dollars stock in the elevator company. The town says this was a temporary arrangement and that the stock was to be exchang- ed for a fifty thousand dollar guaran- tee by the town of the company's bonds as soon as an act of the Legiala. ture could be obtained to legalize the exchange, 'The act was obtained and the town wanted the exchange, effect. ed.• The company refused and say that the facts are different andthat the town must dteep its stock. The aore point in the case is that there was an unexpected delay in dredging the harbor which caused at. lois of about five thousand dollars in interest by keeping the elevator idle and the ques- tion is, who shall bear this lose? The case was not concluded whee eourt adjourned. The case was continued on Saturday. The real matter in diepute between the parties was about $5,000 of interest, the greater part of which had occurred during the delay in getting a channel to the• elevator, caused by the unexpected diecovery of rock dur- ing the soundings for dredging. This interest is practically lost money. Neither the town nor the company wanted to bear the loss, and they could ncit agree on any basis upon which to share it. His Lordship strongly urged a settlenoent; and finally it was egteed the company would assume $2,500 of it • and the town bear the rest. According e judgment was consented to, by which the company pays to the town $52,500 on February 1. next. that being the $50- 000 of stock which the town temporar- ily took in the elevator company, to- gether with the company's share of the interest Thereupon the town wir guarantee the bonds of the company to the extent of $50,000, as agreed. The company is to have exemption of taxes for ten years expept school, and is to have free water for fire protec- At the regular meeting of Court Goderich No.32 0. 0, F. held last Tues. day their officers were elected for the ensuing year 1902 as fallowe • Chief Ranger, Jame d Tait Vice Chief, A.

Turk and Kerbyclosed i their evangelistic meetings n the Lucknow Methodist church last week, The meetings from the first to the last were the most successful ever held in the village and cannot fail to do a great deal of good in the community. They are able and impressive speakers and beautiful singers and the only regret expressed was that they could not remain longer in Lucknow. The services throughout were devoid of all sensationalism and the great spiritual awakening that has been accomplished will be lasting. There was a pleasant gathering at the Cain Howie on Tnesdey evening week, the occasion being the presenta- tion of an address and beautiful arm chair to Mr. Peter Corrigan by the citizens of the township of Kinloss on his removing from Holyropd to become a resident of Lucknow.
