The Names of the Post Offices in
This Part of the Country and
the Post Masters; on the )First

St. Mar Journel;—When Mr, Rob-
ert Reivlings, Postmaster and mer-
chant at Lakeside, was tearip.g down
the old store sail postoffice tomake
place for the fine,new Metjiodisl chuaeh
that pow stands on its site, he found
among other things a list 'of the post
offices in Canada on the 1st of July 18.
55, Ile afterwards headed the book to
Mr."L, D, Brown, who Inas in his clay
handled snare of the fact; and,figures
connected with the eargly history of
the township than possibly any other
living man. in that day we find there
were but two post offices in East Nis-
souri, namely, Nissouri P. O. (now Hal
liday) and Thamesford, The' Postmaster
at Nissourl was N.P,.Allen and at Thant
esford, Lawrence Whelan. Among the
_.other post' offices and Postmasters in
this district were: St, Marys, Thomas.
Christie; London, Lawrence Lawless;
Arva,.Joseph Sifton; Biddulpli, Ben Stan
ley; Clinton, James Gordan; Elglnfield,
William Frank; Exeter William McDen-
eld; Fish Creek; John Bell; Fullerton,'
James Woodley; Goderich, Thomas Ky-
dd; Harrington, D,L, Demorest; Inger-
soll, Charles E. 'Chadwick; McGillivray,
D. Shoff; Mitchell, John Hicks; Sebring
ville, P. A. Sebring; Stratford; Alex. F.
Mickle, Woodstock, Chas DeBlaquiere
Lobo Station P. O. was changeed that
year to Komoga, Burn's Mills in Middle
sex to Sylvan, and Byton to Ottawa
City. Lingville P. O, in Perth County
was closed.
There will be very few in town who
will remember James Gordan as Post-
master. We understand both Mr. and
Mrs. Gordon were killed in a train
'wreck and were buried in the lot on
which St. Joseph's church now stands,
Mr. Gordon gave the lot to the Presby
terian church and tate church was built
on the lot which was afterwards sold to
the members of the R.C. church. The
late Thos. Fair father of W. D. Fair
was appointed Postm'a'ster following
the death of Mr. Gordon.

PLAY BALL AT BAYHELD
"What Is •80 rare es a day In June?
'Then, if ever, come perfect days."
So said the poet years ago, and the
Huron county council had a 'perfect
realization of the truthfulness of the
poet's couplet 011 Friday last when
over two-thirds of the present council,
many ex -members, ,the Warden and
seven ex -Wardens and 'many, friends
spent a jolly day of .recreation at
Jewett's picnic .grounds at Bayfield,
It was in every sense a re -union day
of the old boys of tlae present and past
councils of the historic county of
Huron.
The oid county stands in the fore-
front of the counties' of Ontario in
nearly every respect, and in no sense
more so than in tate splendid then who
have in the past graced the council
board; and the present occupants are
worthy sons of a long line of worthy
sires. The old county occupies a
unique position in the production of
Prominent men in all walks' of life,
for no matter , in what part of the
world you cast your lot. you will 'find
the amen of Huron, occupying foremost
positions of trust and honor,
Last Friday at Bayfield was gather-
ed together a splendid array of the
past and present directors of muni-
cipal 'affairs of the county. The
weather was ideal, the plcknickers all
good-humored, and the eatables more
than ample. The good ladies had been
asked.to bring full baskets, and they
were brought snore than full of the
choicest edibles that skill and good
taste could produce,
A long list of sports was carried out
with the best of good humor, all enter-
ing into them with that spirit of
comradeship characteristic of the
council of Huron. In the baseball
and football matches there were many
examples of good team play and in-
dividual work that showed that the
majority of the boys had without doubt
figured prominently in a home club
not many years back. The same may
be saki of the tug-of-war, where good
generalship and staying potters were
in evidence. Much of the credit of
the success of these three events was
no doubt due to the many excellent
decisions and good judgment displayed
in handling these games by the um-
pire, County ¶treasurer Lane, whose
fair play appealed to all and kept the
spectators in good .humor. One foot-
ball kicker took the umpire for the
goal and knocked his pipe galley -west.
The most amusing feature of the
program was a needle race, in which
seven of the ladies with partners tohk
part. This was won by Mrs. and Mr.
R. M. Elliott, of Stanley, Mrs, J. M.
Govenlock, of McKillop and Mr. Klopp
of Hay, and Mrs. McGregor and Mr,
McCully; of Tuckersmith, the ladies
receiving the first, second and third
prizes in the order named,.
'County Clerk Holman acted as clerk
of the sports and introduced the
different events. At tate conclusion of
the games the picknickers were as-
sembled and brief addresses were
given by the ex -Wardens, the present
Warden, two of the ex -councillors
(Mr, John Laporte and Mr, W. H.
Fraser) and County Treasurer Lane.
These addresses proved not the (east
of the .attractions of tate day and
showed that if some of the ex -Wardens
considered themselves apo old for the
more strenuous lames they had not
lost mu"
ch of the vigor of youth in
mental capacity,
'It was at this stage that the only
sighs of disagreement were displayed,
for each Warden persisted in claiming
that he had had the good fortune of
presiding over the best -looking and
brainiest bunch of then that ever sat
at the council table. But this was the
only point ofdifference: all agreed
that tate picnic was a delightful 1e -
union idea and should by all' means
be continued and its annual occurrence
would be loked forward to as one
of the bright events of the year.

also to the ex -Wardens of the county

Canada. He deplored the fact that af-
ter a considerable amount of money
was spent in the way of advertising our
country In foreign lands a large number
of the immigrants who came were not
allowed to enter and were sent back at
the country's expense; He advocated
a very strong immigration policy; The
speaker stated that be did not believe
there would be a great number of im-
migrants coning from the countries of
Central Europe as they would not like-
ly be allowed to leave when there are
such large war debts to be paid. He
thought rather that the bulk of the im-
migrants would come front the British

Corless and seconded by Alvin Leonard.
