It was applied by the French to the Indian tribes occupying that part of 'the country in Upper Canada which be came known as Huronia. Lake Hur on took its rihme from them and the County, whose western bound ary it forms, was named after the lake. Huron County was part of Huron Tract, a block of land con taining -about one million acres which was purchased from the Crown in 1826 for 87 cents per acre. It was bought by the Capada Com pany, a group of English capitalists. John Galt was the originator company, gentlemen were influential holders. In 1841, the County of came into being, although for about nine years it was known as the District of Huron and contained parts of Perth and Middlesex. God erich, the headquarters -of the Can ada Company, was and still, is the County Town. Many of the officials of the company gave their names to the Townships of the new County such as Hay, Hullett, McKillop, Stanley, Stephen, Tuckersmith, and Usborne. Wawanosh, however, is an Indian name. In 1835 the population of Huron was only 1,016, but in 1S71 it had increased to 6 6,165, much more than the 40,824 of today. Two men who were prominent in the early history of Huron County were Dr. Wm. (Tiger) Dunlop, whose home was in Goderich, and Col. Anthony VanEgmond, . who built his home overlooking the Bay- field River in Egmondville, which village was named in his honor.* Dr. Dunlop was a very picturesque fig ure. His nickname came from a narrow escape he had while in In dia when he saved his life by dash ing the contents of his snuff box into the face of a -tiger. In 1828 the first road was cut through the forest -connecting God erich with Toronto via Guelph. This was called the Huron Road and was built under the direction of Col. VanEgmond. At one time he kept 20 four.-horse teams on that road bringing in immigrants who -bo'ught the land at $1.5 0: to $2.50 per acre. The next road ran from -Goderich to London and was called the Lon don Road. About 1852, Brucefield was settled and roads were cut from there to Bayfield, the estate of a in which many of this titled share- Huron Belgian nobleman, and Seaforth and northern points. A lakeshore xoad joined Goderich to Grand Bend, All these roads had toll-gates. A stretch of original corduroy road, being lifted near Dashwood, shows that they built well. Ohr fine highways of today follow these routes. The three x&ilroads built from 1852 to 1872 are still in operation, although bus service, trucks, private metor have cut down number of trains. Education was considered so pprtant that schools and churches were sometimes built before there were pupils for one or a congrega tion for 'the other. This was true of Vanderburgh’s Corner Today the four towns ■ Clinton, Seaforth and Wingham—- have first-class collegiate institutes and, under the new school area plan, are absorbing the smaller high and continuation schools in an effort to give greater service. Their graduates have won honor and fame in many different lines. Mention must be made here of the famous Clinton Radio iSchool with pupils from every country in the world, The current history of Huron is well known and shows the people must have inherited many of the ex cellent qualities ‘ of their ancestors who were mainly English, Scotch and Irish. Huronites should ibe for ever grateful to those gallant pion eel’s, of whom an early poet, ably Galt or Dunlop, wrote sympathetic lines: “From the lone shielding in . misty island, Mountains divide us and the > of seas, Yet still the blood is strong, heart is Highland And we in dreams beheld the Hebrides, Fair these broad meads—these hoary woods are grand, But we are exiles from our fathers’ land.” and th© im- (Clinton).

It is hard to struggle along with a head that aches and pains all the time. A headache need not be an illness in itself, but it may be a warning symptom that there is intestinal sluggishness within. To help overcome the cause of headache it is necessary to eliminate the waste matter from the system. Burdock Blood Bitters helps to remove the cause of headaches by regulating the digestive and biliary organs, neutralizing acidity, regulating the constipated bowels and toning up the sluggish liver, and when this has been accomplished the headaches should disappear.Get B.
