The citizens of Goderich will no
doubt be pleased to hear of the pro-
gress a former young Goderichito is
making in the garden city of the
west, Chicago. From a Chicago
commercial paper we make the fol-
lowing excerpt : The A. T. Evans
Watch Co., is a corporation under
Illinois laws, having a paid up
capital of $60,000, the active mem-
beis being A. T. Evans, Geo. 13.
Moore, John Munger. The Geo. B.
Moore is the eldest son of Mr. E.
Moore, formerly town clerk here,
but now manager of the 'extensive
wholesale business of B. Allen and
Co. of that place, and nephew of
Mr. Whitely of this paper. The
A. T. Evans Co. did a business of
$400,000 last year. Mr. Geo. I3.
Moore is vice president, treasurer
and general manager of the concern
and ono of the largest stock holders.
Not so bad for a Goderich "boy"
not much over his majority. The
Chicago Times referring to the firm
says ; "A. T. Evans & Co. are a
comparatively young house, but are
doinga tremendous business. They
have frequently been spoken of as
"the heaviest buyers of Watches in
America," and have built up their
•immense business simply by selling
all kinds ot' watches—from the
cheapest to the moat expensive—at
moderate figures. Their business
in the past has been principally
with country customers, as they
have done a large amoust of advertis-
ing, but their quarters are so con-
venient to the public, being up but
one flight, and their rooms being ac-
cessible by elevator, that they are
rapidly securing a large and increas-
ing patronage from the citizens of
Chicago." THE News -RECORD con-
gratulates the young gentleman on
being in a fair way of "getting
thar."

OBIT.—Onoe more the earthly cords
are snapped fi once more we are call-

friend and pioneer of Aiuron has
croaaed the mysterious bourne. One
who when rebellion stealthily or
stalwartly stalked the land loyally
stood up for the right, with Britain's
flag ready to stand or fall. Mr. Hugh
Johnston, late of Goderich, father of
Mr. F. W. Johnston who for so many
years was the popular_ reeve- of .the
county town, died in Texas, U.S., on
13th August, 1889, aged 71 years.
There are few of the old settlers in
Huron, Perth and Bruce. counties
but will remember the late Mr.
Johnston, 'and 'to moat of the pre-
sent generation he was not unknown.
Of Irish birth and parentage, from
early manhood until nearly the age
of three score and ten be lived in
the town of Goderich. His parents
came from the "black north," Mr.
Johnston having been born at
Omagh, county Tyrone, in 1818, his
ancestors being of that Scotoh•Irish
stook whose physical stalwartness
and intellectual vigor have kept
them before the world of Britain and
America as the finest types of man•
hood. The family came to Canada
early inbisearly youth and settled on
the River St. Clair, near Mooretown.
where three brothers and one sister
are still living. Previous to and
during the rebellion of '37 the sub-
ject ot this sketch was in the employ
of Mr. Jennings, of St. Thomas and
London. About the latter date he
came to Godericlland, with his
brother,.opened a store in the build
ing opposite the Park house at top
of harbor hill, and for many years,.
traded with the Indians from Gode-
rich to the Sault Ste. Marie. He
spoke the Indian language well. fn -

late W. B.ennett Rich, who came to
Goderich in 1833. firs. Johnston

the town for two years, served as
town councillor, was magistrate for
a number of years and occupied
many other positions of honor and

dents of the county. Some seven
years ago he went to Texas for his
health, returning to Goderich for a
portion of every year during the first
three years, when hie health failed
and he remained in Texas from that
time until his decease on the 13th
August, instant. In politics he was a
strong and staunch Conservative and
for many of the years of his long resi-
dence in Goderioh was an active and
influential worker for the party and,
good government. In religion he
was a member of the Church of Eng..
land. Our old friend has passed
from his toils and cares to the place
appointed for all, and we feel that
thousands of his countrymen, irre-
spective of creed, pursuit or station,
among whom be spent the greater
part of his life, will join in a requiescat
in pace ! in mournful tribute to the
unreplying dead. ,
