Huron County was part of the Hur-
on ;Tract, a block of land containing
• about one million actes which was
purbhe,sed fram the Crown in, 1828
for..87e per acre. It was bought by
• the Canada Company, a group of Eng:
lisb, capitalists. John Galt was the
'Originator of this county, in which

of Huron pame into being, although..
fur about nine years it was knOwn as
the District of Huronand contained
parts of Perth and Middlesex. Godee
rten, the heaclomirtere: of the Canada
Company, was and still is, the Coune
ty Town.
*Many of the officials of the coat -
any gave their names to the town-
ships of the new county, such as Hay,
Hulittt, Stante3n: Stephen,
Isuckersthith and Usberne. Wawan-
th. however, is an Indian name. In
1835 the population of Huron was
only 1,016, but by 1871 it haditiereas-
ee to 66,166, much more than the
40,824 of today. '
Two men who were prominent in
rue early history os Huron County
were Dr. William. (Tiger) Dunlop,
wiedge -home was in Goderich, and
Col. Anthony• Van Egmond, -who built
his home overkioking the Bayfield
River in. Egmondville, which village
was named in his honour. Dr. Dun
lop was a very picturesque figure. His
nickname came from a narrow escape
he had: while in India When he •Saved
his life by dashing the ',.coittents of
his snuff box into the face of a tiger.
In 1828 the first road was cut
through the forest connecting Gode-,
• rich with Toronto via Guelph. This•
'was called the Huron Road and was
built under the direction of Col. Van
,Egniond. At one time he kept twenty-
tour-ncrse teams on that road bring-
ing immigrants who bought the land
at $1.50 to $2.5() per acre. The .next
road ran from Goderich to London and
was called the London Road. About
3852 Brucefield was settled and roads
were cut from there to Hayfield. the
estate of. a 'Belgian noblerhan, and
• Seaforth and 'northern points. A
lake -shore road j.oiried Goderich to
Grand Bend. Alt these roads had toll
gates. A stretch of original corduroy
road being lifted near :Dashwood
shows that they built well. Our fine
highways of today follow these
routes. The three railroads built
from 1852 to 1872 are still in opera-
tion; although bus service, trucks and

• The current history of Huron is well
known and shows the people must
have inheritedernany of the excellent
qualities of their ancestors who .were
mainly English, Scotch and Irish.
Huronites 'should „be forever grateful
to those gallant pitaneers, of whom an
.early •poet, probably Galt or Dunlop,
wrote 'these sympathetic lines: -
"From the lone shielding inethe,liaisty

A pleasant. afternoon was! spent at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clifton
Levy; of the Kippen Road, on Wed-
nesday, June 12, whep some -thirty
friends and neighbors gathered to
present their daughter with some
gifts prior to her marriage. Atter
games and contests were enjoyed;
Margaret was asked to take a cnair
in the centre of a large circleof
friends. Mrs, Cecil Oke rend the fol-
lowing address': Dear Margaret:
On some day soon, we understand,
You'll hear the wedding bell,
So we, your friends and neighbors,
Have come to wish you 'well.
You've turned a page rin Life's big book,'
We 'wish you joy. indeed;
The best of health and happiness
Is what we hope you'll read. •
And if at times scene things:go wrong,
You can be then assured
That joy tastes sweeter after pain,
Because yau 'have eedured.
Teisten, GirLs
Listen, and I'll tell you a secret, dears,
On a subject I've carefully studied for
years;
Deeply engrossing for tongue and for
pen,
The fashion and failings and foibles
of' men:
They hate to be fussed, and they love
to be fed; '
The'Vhate to be driven, but all can
And iflyou are careful, far-seeing and
wise,
You first can suggest what they will
• later advise.
Now out of their. wisdom they'll coun-
sel apace,
