CHURCH MARKS
ANNIVERSARY
(By Holmseville correspondent)
Large congregations attended
morning and evening services on
Sunday, October 16, at Holmes-
ville United Church to commem-
• • • orate the 70th anniversary of its
minding. Many former members
OF returned to spend a day of re -
we union with old friends and attend
mail worship together. The auditorium
it nia ! was beautifully decorated with
scarlet salvia, gladioli and other
of autumn flowers.
uite The chairman of the Presbytery,
arger Rev. S. H, Brenton, minister of
Londesboro United Church, was
in charge of both services, with
THIS Rev. Campbell Tavener, Holmes -
the mille, assisting with the evening
ions worship. The subject of Mr.
lin- Brenton's morning address was,
e a "Are Christians Ashamed of Their
apol- Religion?" He said, in part, -that
ion- if Christian members of such a
those church as this, instead of hiding
ery their light under a bushel, were
ight to talk about their religion, the
son, interest in it, and thus the at-
tendance would greatly increase.
rge The equally inspiring evening
Alice sermon dealt with the theme,
"Why Protestants Attend Church:"
Among other motives, Mr. Bren-
IN ton stated, was the most compel -
to ling one, the desire and urge to
but commune with God.

Nothing went right, and every-

Historical Sketches
OF THE COUNTY OF HURON
V ---Township of Mullett
This is the twelfth•of a series
of historical articles on the
County of Huron and'the local
municipalities in this area, taken
from "Historical Atlas of ,Hur-
on County," published in 1879.
Only "Inland" County
With the exception of Morris,
Hullett is the only township in
Huron not extending its bounds
to those of the county. It is
butted on the north-east by. East
Wawanosh and Morris; on the
south-east by McKillop; on the
south-west by Tuckersintth; •and
on the west by the Township of
Goderich, from which it is sep-
arated by the "Base Line" ex-
tension of the London Road, run-
ning almost due north,
Assessment $2,133,427
It contains, according to the
last assessment returns, 53.550
acres of land; of which 32,497
acres are cleared. All but 1,207
acres is in possession of actual
occupants, The whole is placed
at a valuation of $1,999,377, which
with personalproperty assessed
at $134,050 places the totsul as-
sessment at $2133;427.
Character of Land -
As for -the character of its sur-
face and quality of soil, the
former varies from quite level to
gently undulating, while the let_
ter is equal on the average In
that of the best, and although
there are-- still quite extensive
i
areas of "new country" within
its limits, these very portions are,
or will he, among the richest of
any part of the county when
more generally brought under the
subjection of the husbandman.
In fact, the only reason we can
imagine why so much of the
land in, this splendid township
has so long remained unsettled,
is that the pert ' of the Huron.
Road which passes Hullett is
much of the way located through
a comparatively low tract of
country, which in the early days
must have borne a very uninvit-
ing aspect to those emigrants
whose gaze had been wont to
fall upon lovely English land-
scapes, or the fresh verdure
crowning the hillsides of the
Emerald Isle.
First Organized 1848
The first municipal organiza-
tion of the township took place
in 1848, . and we find from the
records that the "Town Meeting"
was held at Clinton on .the 3rd.
of January of thatyear; and af-
ter William eledgson had: been
called to the chair, Edward Van
Egmont was chosen Town Clerk,
James Longbottorn assessor, and
James McMichael collector.

These -.officers were at that
time all elected by, the "Town'
Meeting," as were all others,end

Wild Raspberries
Tempt Bayfield
(By our Bayfield correspondent)
Old Dame Nature is giving
us a second crop of fruit this
year, and spring, flowers are
blooming again.
When Mrs. J. E. Howard and
her daughter Margaret, were
walking up the river flats last
Friday, they came across a
patch of ripe wild raspberries.
They picked as • ninny as they -
each could hold and broke off
several well laden • canes. When
Hit McDool heard of it, he said
"That's. nothing! We have ripe
raspberries in our garden." And.
when the writer looked out of
a window at "The Hut" on
Monday she was surprised to
see a syringo blossom on a
nearby shrub.
