NEIGHBORS HONOR
. ALEX NRI- HT
MRS G
Gathering Marks Remov-`
al From Mill Road
Residence.
A very pleasant time was spent
Thursday evening at the home of
Mrs. Alex Wright prior to her de-
parture frorii the farm •to live in
Seaforth:
Euchre was played during the
evening with the foll6wing'winning
prizes: ..omen's first, Mrs. Lorne
Wilson; consolation, Mrs. Mae
men's first, Art Nicholson; conso-
lation, James Souter.
The presentation of a lovely tri -
dight was made to Mrs. Wright by
Gordon Richardson, and Mrs. Wal-
lace Haugh read the following ad-
dress:
Dear Mrs. Wright: We, your
friends and neighbors, are gather-
ed here tonight to enjoy, a social
evening together prior to your de-
parture for a new hone not so far
away but that we will still be able
to see you and enjoy your sunny
disposition. Not one of us here can-
not but often recall how Mrs.
Wright's cheery laugh made things
so much brighter and happier . no
matter if it was a crowd or only a
few. It always reminded me of the
poet's version:
"There is no room for sadness
When we •see a cheery smile,
It always has the same good look,
It's never out of style.
It nerves us on to try again,
When failures make us blue,
The dimples of encouragement
Are good for me and you.
It pays a higher interest,
For it is merely lent;
It's worth a million dollars,
And it doesn't cost a cent."
No matter what kind of help
was needed in a neighbor's home --
a helping hand in times of extra
work, etress, or sickness—there
was Mrs. Wright with her jolly
laugh—Johnny on the spot—and
t we, as neighbors, gertainly appreci-
ated it. But life rolls onward and
now you are severing your close
connections with us; but we hope
you will often be back to see us,
for:
"Life is a book of volumes three:
The Past, the Present, the Yet -to -be,
The past is dead. and laid away,
Phe present we're reading every
day;
The third and last of volumes three
Ie hid' from sight, and God keeps
the key." -
But We would like to sihare ;tart
of the uilknowh voleine,' as yet,
with you. As a tangible evidence of
our Appreciation. and esteem, we
weilld like you to please accept
'
this token ,of friendship:
"To wish for you bright days ahead
When life will seem to grow
A little happier all .the time,
As glad years come Midi go,
To wish for you a contented heart,
Through both fair and cloudy 'ea-
tther, •
Winch dindri the JO of WO more

Bishop of Huron Inducts
New Seaforth, Dublin Rector
Solemn a n.d Impressive
Service Takes Place At
St. Thomas' Church.
The congregations of St. Thomas'
Church, 'Seaforth, and St. Mary's,
Dublin, gathered ou Wednesday
night to witnees the induction of
Rev. T. Dale Jones, as their' new
rector. The service was. an ex-
tremely solemn and impressive one,
significant of the odcasion. Rt.
Rev. G. N. Luxton, Bishop of Hur-
on, was in charge of the ceremony
and preached the sermon.
l
His text wee taken from the 6th
verse of SL John 15: "Ye have not
chosen me, but I have chosen you.
In ¶Ls address he suggested four
ways in which the congregation
could help make the new rector's
ministry a successful one. He em-
phasized faithful Sunday worship.
"There is no Chyietianity outside
the church. The I,yr;rd's Pay is giv-
en for the susten, ice et the soul
and the hub of 'he :' i:: wor-
ship. This hour in chi rch :s the
,strategic point of great achieve-
ment," the bishop continued.
"Pray fry your rector daily by
name. Give him your unchanging
loyalty throughout his stay. If you
have differences with him, don't
talk about them behind, his back;
tell him face to face." He also ask-
ed each member of the congrega-
tion to be a member of the crew,
not a passenger, of the Church of
God. Do not expect the parson to
do all the work. Work with him"
His Grace was assisted by Arch-
deacon C. W. Foreman, of the
Church of St. John the Evangelist,
London, and Archdeacon J. H. N.
Mills, diocesan commissioner. Dur-
ing the offertory the choir sang the
anthem, "Now the Day is Over."
The keys of the churches were pre-
sented the minister by R. G. Parke,
Seaforth, and Archibald Forbes,
Dublin.
Visiting clergy- of the deanery
were: Rev. B. Ft Farr, of Gdderich,
eteral Dean; Rev. L. Morgan, Bay-
field; Rev. J. C. Cale,, Gorrie; Rev.
E. O. Lancaster, Wingham; Rev.
R. M. P. Bulteel Clinton, and Rev.
J. H. L. Henderson, of Blyth.
At the conclusion of the service
a reception was held in the Parish
Hall, during which the congrega-
tion met the Bishop and the vis-
iting clergy. Mr. Jones was wel-
comed on behalf of this Diocese by
Archdeacon Foreman and on be-
half of the deanery by the Rural
Dean. Rev. B. H. Farr. Rev. D. G.

In Seaforth, Some Prop-
erties Are Shown By
Registry Ohrce As Be-
ing
in Tuckersmith.
Real 'estate activity during the
past year involving the transfer of
property in the eastern section of,;
the town, disclosed the fact -that
while certain lots are known to -be '
in Seaforth, they have• been ,de-•
scribed in. the "llegistry .Office ase
being in either Tuckersmith'or Me-'
Killop. The reason for the dfsere-
pancy has frequently been discuss-
ed by lawyers and municipal of-
ficials without being answered.
Anxious to clear the matter, , E.
P. Chesney, Clerk of Tuckersmith,
and Alex Alexander, County Asses-
sor, Look ti;.,c from the recent
Good Roads Convention in Toron-
Io to vi, it the i'a,:I.:meat Buildings
and ask a:si tante of officials
there. A long search through musty
documents reeultrd in obtaining
the original Order -in -Council, dat-
ed October 2, 1874, which erected
the municipality- into the Town of
Seaforth, and wherein are set out
the limits of the town. The docu-
ment makes it quite clear that the
properties concerned are within
the limits of Seaforth. The only
reason officials could suggest for
the description being incorrect was
that the registry office had never
that the order had never been filed
for registry at the registry office.
J. M. Roberts, county registrar,
was of the opinion that if the pro-
per by-law or order -in -council was
registered, all future registrations
of property would be shown as be-
ing in Seaforth, rather in one or
other of the townships. Registra-
tions already completed would not
be affected. said.
The Order -in -Council says: "The
Committee of Council have hadt
under consideration the petition of
the Municipal Council of the In-
corporated
ncorporated Village of Seaforth
praying that the said village be
erected into a town by ,the name
of Seaforth, and also the returns
of the census of the said village
taken under the authority of a by-
law
ylaw in that behalf and the certifi-
cate accompanying the same in
which returns it appears that the
said village contains over two
thousand inhabitants.
"The Committee advise that a
proclamation be issued by your Ex-
cellency erecting the said Village
of Seaforth. into a Town, to be
called the Town of Seaforth, and
that the following territory be em-
braced and included within the
limits of the said Town, namely:
25 acres being the south west cor-
ner of Lot 24, 50 acres being the
