Returns." B. Ole T. ENDORSES,' BYLAW, • The Clinton Board' of Trade start- ed negotiations last fall for the estab- lishment. of a Flax Mill in Clinton and recommended- the Town: Council to continue the negotiations; and if possible secure this additional in- dustry for the Town. - s At a meeting of the B.. of T.. geld Wednesday night the ?resident:VIr, H. Wiltse, explained what arrange- ments had been made with Mr. Mern- er and the provisions of Bylaw which will be voted on next Monday. The B. of T. heartily endorses the By-law for the following reas- ons. 1 All industries are inter=related and the addition of a successful en- terprise will benefit all existing in- dustres and wilt be an inducement for the establshment of other indus- tries. 2 It is expected that 18 or more men will be employed continually in and, around the flax mill in addition to casual labor in the pulling and spreading seasons. 3 Much of the work in the flax mill is done in the winter season when other work is scarce. • 4 It will mean an additional cir- culation of from $25,000 to $50,000, in the Municipality. 5 The corning to Town of addi- tional families will in all probability lead to the erection of more homes and thus the Town's Assessment will be increased. It is also estimated that the School taxes collected from the flax mill will exceed the total taxes now paid in as farm property. —A. T. Cooper; Secretary, Board of Trade. - DEATH OF MRS. BAWDEN.

In the death of George Ruddell; which took place last week, there passed one of the oldest and most es- teemed residents of the Township 'a Mullett, and one who played his full. . share in the early development of the township, having spent over 57, yearn of his lung life in this section„ The 'late Mr. Ruddell was a marc of robust constitution and he enjoyed. remarkable 'health throughout his en. tire life of over ninety-four years, He was born in the County of Arm. augh, Ireland, on the 29th of Jen. nary, 1826, and there he lived' until nineteen years of age when he came E 7)Canada, first settling in Toronto. On leaving Toronto he went to Hal- ton County where he followed the work of millwright, and while there he was married in 1851 to Miss Christiana Stewart. In 1862 he came to Hallett town- ship and located on. Lot. 21 on the 10th concession, which some few Years previous he had been granted by the Canada Company. The lot was then in its primeval state and here he and his good wife commenced to edrve out a home for themselves and family, and he lived to enjoy the fruits of his labor, The deceased was a man of ster- ling qualities, honored and esteem•, ed by a wide circle of friends in the township in which he resided the major part of his life. He was of an energetic turn and in his younger clays exhibited .the indomitable.spirit that ultimately brought success to. his various undertakings, To hint belonged the honor of retaining a seat at the trustee board of School Section No74 for over twenty years and the section received a full meas sure of his attention and ability. Always a staunch Conservative in politics he took a keen interest in the events of the day until the last, and notwithstanding his advanced years retained all his faculties al. most unimpaired and was convers.• ant with the leading topics of the day. The late Mr• Ruddell was one of the first members of the L.O.L. in this section and, so it is averred, at the time of his death, was the oldest member in the province, with one exception, Mr. John Sherritt, form.. erly of Blyth, but now of London, Twenty-three years .ago his wife died.
