day last by e. delegation asking for tt
bridge on the river on the 6th and 7ti+
concessions; they presented a nuttier.
ously signed petition from the south
and west parts of the township and
were advised by the Council to go over
the rest of the township and report at
the meeting on March 20th. For the
benefit of those who may yet be called
on we will state that no bridge in thio
County built by a municipality is o1'
such large dimensions as this proposed
one. The cost is estimated by a coun-
ty councillor who has large experience
in bridges at about $8,000 or about the
total taxes for one year for all purposes
collected in this township. Dou't be
led nto signing this petition by nice
stories or sentiment towards the can-
vassers, as the expenditure is a large
one to accomodate 8 or ten people and
besides, there are other bridges which
will have to soon be rebuilt and out
taxes are high now; there may be
more on this subject at some future
date.

THE CLERIC'S SAIARY.— SIR,— In
your issue of last week's Expositor, 1
notice a paragraph stating that the
municipal council of the township of
East Wawanosh was not guilty of
paying their officials too high salaries,
for their services. That may be true
enough, but so far as I, as clerk, am
concerned, allow me to make the fol-
lowing explanatory remarks :— Ever
since the township of Wawanosh was
divided into east and west, which was
at Confederation, in 1867, the munici•
pal council of East Wawanosh has had
the use of my house here for as council
rootn, and, when in 1871, I was appoint-
ed clerk, I found it very convenient,in
that capacity to have everything so
handy, and had not, like the clerks of
some other municipalities, to go out in
all kinds of weather for miles, it might
be, to a township hall to attend council
meetings. And then again, I have
another great convenience herein hav-
ing the Marnoch postofce, where the
mails go and come regularly, tri -week-
ly, so that taking one thingwith an
other, the council' holding eir meet-
ings here, and the postofllce together,
is, I consider, as good as 82o yearly to
me, which, added to my regular salary
of $85, how paid, would make a total
of $110 per annum, a very fair salary
for a municipality of the size of the
township of East Wawanosh to pay its
clerk. I am well satisfied, and believe
my present salary of $85, and ail the
conveniences already referred to is far
ahead of a higher regular salary, and
having to go a distance to a hall, he
the weather fair or foul, to attend
council meetings. --P. Po1.TIL#t.F1ELD.

Ab the last meeting held at the home
of Mars. George Horton, the following
resolution was passed by the Ladies' Aid
Society of the Gerrie Methodist church:
Resolved—That by the death of Sister
Strong this society has lost a worthy
member, her family a faithful and lov-
ing mother. To them we offer our lov-
ing sympathy and although many en-
dearing ties have been severed by her
death, we are assured that she has en-
tered into that rest which is the reward
of all who truly trust in Jesus as their
Saviour. We bow in humble submission
to Him that "doeth all things well,"
knowing that our lose is her eternal gain,
hoping that the removal of one so much
loved by us may bo the moans of help-
ing us each to livo more closely to Jesus,
and may He who alone can bind up the
broken hearts, comfort and sustain the
sorrowing and bereaved ones, is the
earnest prayer of each.

Society,

Eaten an expert may
be doeeived by an imi-
tation Goodyear Welt.
Many shoes sold as Goodyear Welts have all'
the lumps, threads, tacks and discomfort of
imitation welts, which they are.
Even the dealer who sells them to you likely
as not bought them for real welts—even he can-
not always tell by appearances. ..�
Wear "Slater Shoes" and you will get nothing
else but Goodyear Welt shoes, because no other
kinds of shoes but Goodyear Welts are matte in
the " Slater " factory.
Be careful that you get a real " Slater Shoe"
with the slate frame on the' sole or the lining—the
words "The Slater Shoe" and the price -nothing
more. Sold only by "Slater Shoe" agents—$3.5o,
o. "The Slater Shoe."
For Sale only by W. J. G RE ER.
