FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 1896.
Although there is no likelihood of any
`"•..one -.being appointed Registrar until
'the return of Mr. 'Mowat, in October,
current rumor credits Mr Thomas Gib-
son M. P. P., with being the one most
likely to receive it. On general prin-
ciples we do not believe that these offi-
ces should go to members of parlia-
went, though there may be exception-
s:
al circumstances which occasionally
+4, justify such appointments. Mr Gib -
t 78ori's position may be one of these.
He has certainly been faithful to the
' Liberal party, and doubtless in the
earlier years of his public life particu-
4,lily, did hard party service that en -
1 t>4tles him to consideration. At the
li
s `4" a time we think the party workers
hieve claims on any vacancies of this
''sort. Not being an aspirant ourselves
in this case, we are quite free to say
itis. However,should it be Mr.Gibson's
.
' i,_.rtp_ilege to accept, a vacancy will be
created -in East Huron. There are
i three possiblisellandidates in such an e-
Ivent, viz:-Messrna. Hyslop and Strach-
an, of Grey, and Reeve Kerr, of Brus-
(e `eels. In our opinion the man who
1 Should get the nomination is Mr Kerr,
and this makes no reflection on the
others. He has done a lot of work for
the Liberal party, is a good speaker, a
man of irreproachable character, would
make a first-class representative, and
could easily be elected.
Mlse MARY WHITE, who has been a
ward of the town for several years,
passed away on Thursday evening; her
death released her from much personal
suffering.
MRS. JAMES EMMERTON, of Bruce,
and one of the pioneers, died on Wed-
nesday of last week, at the age of 85
years; she was a native of England, an•.
up to a year ago enjoyed the best of
health; she was the grandmother of Mr
John Edlmerton, of town.
MRS MARY THORNTON, wife of Mr.
William Thornton, died on Thursday
evening, after a prolonged and painful
illness. She was a native of Thirsk,
England, had been married for about
45 years, was a resident of town for
many years, and though living in bum-
ble life, she displayed many traits of
character that won for her esteem and
respect. A member of the Methodist
Church, her sufferings were borne with
christian fortitude. Her aged partner,
one daughter and two sons survive her.
MRS CATHARINE CRAIG died at the re-
sidence of her son-in-law, Geo. Scales,
Hullett, on Sunday, at the age of 90
years. • She was relict of the late John
Craig, one of Huron's pioneers, who re-
sided on the Bayfield road, south of
town, and lived there up to a few
years ago, when she went to live with
Mr Scales. She was a woman who was
well and widely khown, and hardly
knew what it was to be ill. A staunch
adherent of the Presbyterian Church,
she lived up to her faith. She leaves
four sons and one daughter, - one
daughter, Mrs D. McTavish, having
preceded her across the river. The re-
mains were interred in Clinton Ceme-
try, on Tuesday.

MRs. Ross. -We regret exceedingly
to have to announce the death of Annie,
the wife of Public School Inspector, D.
Robb, which occurred on Wednesday,
Aug. 21st. She had been ailing more
than a year, but her death was quite
unexpected. She felt as well as usual
on Tuesday, and sat outside for some
time. On Wednesday she did not feel
like rising, and began to fail rapidly in
the afternoon. Mr Robb was summon-
ed home, but did not arrive till abouta
quarter of an hour after her death. -
She was in her 34th year. Of a retiring
disposition, she was passionately fon
of her own home, and was seldom seen
out except in the company of her hus-
band. She was of a very amiable and
loving nature, and her long illness was
borne with christian fortitude and re-
signation. She was a consistent mem-
ber of the Presbyterian church. She
was a native of East Wawanosh,where
her relativesnstill reside. That MrRobb
has the sincere sympathy of his many
friends goes without saying. The fun-
eral takes place at 3.30 p. in., Saturday,
21th inst.
MRs. SARAH GIBBINGS died at the
residence of her son John, on Sunday,
in her 84th year. She has resided in
Clinton continuously for 64 years, and
was, therefore, the oldest resident of
the town, her late husband and herself
being the second settlers in this place.
Born in Suffolk, England, she came to
this country in the year 1829, and was
married to the late Jonas Gibbings, in
Toronto, in the year 1831. Mr Gibbings
started on foot for the Huron Tract,
leaving all signs of civilization behind
him at Berlin, and guided then only by
the surveyyor's'tlaze, locating flrst of all
near Goderich. Mrs Gibbings came
around to Goderich by sailing boat, and
then walked to where her husband was,
undertakings that were no small tasks
at that early day. She passed through
the privations and hardships incident
to pioneer life -experiences that can-
not even be imagined by people of the
preltent day. New settlers especially
had her sympathy and friendship, and
many a pioneer enjoyed het hospttality
and home. She was a warm admirer
and supporter of the original Bible
Christian Church, subsequently Onta-
rio St. Methodi Church; in tact the
pioneer missl'o a ies were her especial
care, and she was truly regarded as a
•'mother in Israel." In about the
year 1872 her life partner was called
home, and since that time she has not
got about much, though in fairly good
health until a short time before her
death. Though deprived of church
privileges, she never forgot her reli-
gious responsibilities, was true to the
principles which had governed her life,
and died with supreme faith in Christ.
Three sons survive her -John, who re-
sides in town; Thomas, who also lives
here; and Wiiliam, of the Huron road,
Tuckersmith. The latter was the first
white male child born in the Huron
Tract, an event of more than ordinary
interest at the time. She was a wom-
an of unusually good mental faculties,
with a retentive memory, and retained
the use of these qualities up to the very
last. The funeral took place Tuesday.

The prairie is really a grand sight.
prairie flowers in abundance. Then
this year the crops are really grand,

try has ever seen. I intend leaving

be pleased to see all my Clinton friends

WEDDED. - The Dufferin Post, of
last week, referring to the marriage of
Mr Frank Shepherd, Shelburne, (form-
erly of Clinton) says: -"The bride has
been in charge of the central telephone
office here for several years. During
her discharge of duties we have found
her, as we are sure every telephone
subscriber has. courteous, patient and
obliging. The Bell Telephone Company
lose in bliss Mann a most efficient op-
erator. This is certainly a case where
Shelburne wins the laurels, for what is
the gain of the northern village is
Orangeville's loss. We are sure that
all the friends of Mrs Shepherd will
hcin with us in the expression of the
ope that the pathway of her and her
husband may be strewn with roses."
OPEN MEETING. -The open meeting
of the R.T. of T. in connection with
the Clinton Council No. 100., assisted
by Holmesville Council, was well at-
tended last Thursday night, being held
in the cotnrnodious Oddfellow's Hall.

Elford, Holmesville; song in character,

"Summer." Lunch was served and a
pleasant time spent. At the meeting
of the Council on Tuesday,an excellent
program was rendered.
MRSOJENNIE DOWZER, (relict of the
late John Dowser), was a lady just be-
yond the prime of life, and her appear-
ance seems to foretell many years of
health and happiness, so that the an-
nouncement of her death on Friday
morning was a painful and startling
surprise to her many friends. At an
early hout of the morning she experi-
enced a'chill. and, although medical
aid was summoned, nothing could be
done for her, and she died about nine
o'clock that morning. A. native of
Scotland, she came to this country
when quite young, with her father's
family, he settling in Blanchard,
Perth County. Mr Dowser died
four years ago, leaving her with the
care of eleven children, and no better
testimony of her motherly care and af-
fection could be given than the fact
that her five daughters and six sons,
all residing here, have been so care-
fully brought up that they are among
the most highly respected residents of
place. She was a faithful member of the
Willis Presbyterian- Church, and the
tribute of respect and sympathy shown
her memory was exp, essed by the very
large number who attended the funeral
on Sunday. The pall -bearers were
Messrs Scott, Forrester, T. Cottle, Ew-
ing, McClacherty and Swallow.
MR THos. SPOONER, an old resident
of town, and brother of the late Chas.
Spooner, died yesterday.
MR. JOSIAH BUTT was one of our
best known and most highly esteemed
residents; a man seemingly m the best
of health and spirits; with a strong
frame and vigorous constitution, he ap-
peared to have many years yet before
him, and the announcement of his
death early on Saturday morning, was
so unexpected that people could hardly
realize its truth.h. On Friday,
in com-
pany
with his wife and two sons, he
visited his sister-in-law, Mrs Freer, re-
marking during the day that he never
felt better in all his life, and returned
horse about six o'clock in the evening.
He had not much more than got there
when he complained of a dizziness in
the head, and paralysis of the left side,
and as if in anticipation of the end,
said "My father, my heavenly father,"
following this remark a moment after
with "Blessed Jesus, my blessed Jesus."
He was at once carried into the house
and a doctorummoned, who pronoun-
ced it a stroke of apoplexy. He was
practically unconscious rind helpless
from the first attack and lingered un-
til about 2.30 Saturday morning. He
was born in the village of Slickland,
Dorchester, England, in June, 1826,
and immigrated to this country when
18 years of age, settling in the town-
ship of Darlington, where he married
Miss Priscilla Hovey in 1847. In Sep-
tember of 1852 he moved to Colborne
township, which was then all bush,
and hewed out for himself a home,
and established a name for honest ,in-
tegrity and Godly character; after re-
siding here 23 years, he sold out and
bought a farm on the base line, about
three or foul miles from town; 12 years
ago he turned this over to his young-
est son, Ephraim, and moved nearer
town, building just outside the cor-
poration. About two years ago he
moved into town, and had little more
than completed the erection of a com-
fortable brick residence. He became
converted to God when 18 years of
age, and his home was always open to
the pioneer preachers; in fact he was
particularly fond of anything pretain-
ing to the claims of the gospel, and
was a most regular attendant upon all
church ordinances, being a member of
the Ontario St. Methodist church. Of
a kind, jovial disposition he quickly
made lasting friends, and the esteem
in which he was held was shown by
the very large number who attended
his funeral on Monday. The pall-
bearers were all old friends, being
Messrs David and Wm. Tiplady, John
Hardy, Jas. Stevens, John Brickenden
and Jon Morrish. Mr Butt leaves

CORRECT HE Is. -A Conservative
correspondent of the News Record, in
referring to the registrarship, speaks
the sentiments of every -body here,
when he says: -"Conceded that the
appointee will be a Reformer; such he-
ing the case W. Coats, of Clinton,
should be the appointee, though I have
no party ,love for him. He has been a
very annoying and damaging thorn in
the sides of the Conservatives, but he
deserves the best his party can give
him. He is trusty, courteous and
capable. Extremely popular. Pains-
taking in all he undertakes. A good
business man, an adept at figures, and
an excellent penman. As Deputy -
Reeve, Town Clerk, County Auditor,
Secretary of the Huron Central Exhib-
ition, he has, by bis business tact, im-
partiality and urbanity, to Tory and
Grit, shown that a position of great-
er responsibility could not fall to the
lot of a worthier man."
TRIFLES: SchoOle in the rural districts

Tuckersmith.
LAwN SoctAL.-The lawn social which
was held here last Monday evening was a
decided enooee0. A large crowd was present
and a very pleasant evening spent. Pro-
ceeds amounted to over $46.
STOLEN. -One night last week some un-
principled persona entered the barn of Mr
Louis Crich and took hie supply of pork lees
one ham. His loss consisted of three hams
and one shoulder, which is quite a loos at
this season of the year.
FARM SOLD.- Mr Abner Coaene has sold
his farm of 100 aures, on tbo 3rd concession
of Tuckersmith, to Mr Ira Johns,who takes
possession at New Tears; the price ie in the
neighborhood of $5,500. The farm ie an
excellent one, with good brick house. Of
course Mr Johne could not think of occupy-
ing the house alone.
PEnsoNAL.-Mr Fisher, and the Misses
Fisher, of Benmiller, spent Sunday with
relatives here. Mr W. Bq l spent Sunday
with relatives here. Mies Shannon, of
London, visited freende here last week.
Mies Allen, of Hallett, visited relatives here
last week. Mr John Tilt and J. Cosene, of
Doon, are visiting relatives here.
Novas. -The new school at Broadtcot's
ie now completed so as to commence school
next week. An entertainment will be held
this (Friday) night and will, no doubt, be
greeted with a fall house. We noticed last
spring that two new bridges were to be
built viz: -one at Crioh'e and one at Mo-
Lean's; the season is now advanced and the
old ones are still in their places; the council
is surely neglecting its duty or else
