ham; and thealeath of James Ilex, sr.,
in Goderich township, aged 90 years.
These are a few gleanings from the
every day life of the old town, more
than a quarter of a century ago, and
we may no -v make -a few references to
TUE STAR as it appears today. in 1881
Mr. Mitchell, one of the present pro-
prietors, purchased the paper from the
late A. C. Simmers's, and throuph rain
and shine, through good and ill, the
old Conservative standard bearer has
made its weekly visits to its many
readers. In April last Mr. A. M. Todd,
for so many years identified with the
Huron News Record. cast in his lot.
with THE STAR and under the combin-
ed management "tha old and reliable
family journal" has attained a success
not hitherto approached in Its palmiest
days when rivals, both local and pro-
vincial, were hot one teath as numer-
ous as today. The paper is now consid
eribly the largeet in the comity pf
-Huron; indeed only in Orme towns and
smaller cities where there is e daily
issue es well es at weekly, is there as
large nr well printed n wsekly as THE
STA. Tlie °Mee bending and print-
ing plant have been doubled in extent
and value, and Is today one of the most
cotnplete establishments to be found In
any Canadian town. The enlargement
and improvement of the preinises made
during the past summer gave us the
neatest, most convenient and hest.
lighted of printing offices. and the en
tire establishment is one that can be
pointed to with pride. The large ad-
dition tutees /subscription list. and the
increased" advertising and job pate m-
elte. show that the industry and enter -
prize of TIM STAR'S management is
fully appreciated hy the public.
In return for the generous support
which has always been given hy the
publics Tim STAR has fot ninny 3703173
faithfully striven to advance t.he int
erests of the county town. and we will
not he accused of boasting if we say
that the improvement and prosperity
which have marked the town'de
velopment in recent years have been
materially helped by this paper. No,
an indostry has been carried on and
has not, received generous support and
hearty advoency in these columns. and
no oppotintritv has beet lora to speak
a goon word an behalf of the town and
its industries wad to hold up the el -
vantages of "the healthiest and pret-
tiest town in ()anode."
May the future relations of both
publishers and citizens be as pietism -It
as in the past, and we hope that ere
long the town% growth may warrant

and for Lhe present year : Part 1. 709;

The Births registered in '07 were 61,

are furnished with fifteen hundred in-

The officers of the Water Works and
Electric Light departments are : J. 13.
Kelly, chief engineer ; Hy. Stowe, 2nd

W. L. Horton is collector of water

$85.050 on the Water Works, $18,200
on the Electric Light, and 818,300 on

To have npted inaprovenients at the

to True STAR; but all we can say is that
the old hutlding called a station leeks
too shabby for an end line depot, that
it is not aver comfortable for pitmen -

Goderich Institution that came to stay,
but oo account of newt of Ira prcducts

employing 35 hands. and during the
busy season the employees have to
work twelve hours daily to keep up
with the order list.
Doring 1897 the institution had a fair
