ELECTION LIKELY Hors. Mr, McPherson Addresses North Huron Conseryal!eo A fairly large number of North Huron Conservatives attended the annual meet- ing of the Provincial ;association which was held at Wingham on Friday afternoon June 20th. Ilon. W. D. McPherson, pro- vincial secretary was present and deliver- ed ari excellent address. Dr, Redmond, president of the Conservative Association, occupied the chair and in his opening ad- dress touched at considerable extent on the events of the war, He referred at .ienght to the family 1 feud which at the last election" lead to the election of the Liberal candidate, Mr. Fraser, - Mr Fraser, the speaker declared, was not elected by the voice of the people, but as a result of the Conservative split The election of officers resulted as fol- lows President -Dr. Armstrong, Corrie, 1st Vice Pres -e: -Mrs, J. W. Jayne, Luc - know. 2nd Vic Pres. -Mr Benson Cruik- shanks, Wingham. • Secretary -Mrs, G. W. Walker, Corrie.. Treas.-Mr, J. W. McKibbon, Wing- ham. ingham, Dr. Redmond although pressed to again accept the presidency of the associ- ation, expressed his desre to resign, and urged that the hatchet be buried and the old tiine unity prevail, The executive committee, chairman of each division and the four representatives from each poll were re-elected with the exception of Mr. W. A. Mines, Turnberry who wished to withdraw from that office, and MrrArthur Wheeler was .named tp fill theS. Cant y The following committee on resolutions was appointed: John Joynt, Lucknow, T R Bennett, J W McKibbon and Frank Metcalfe. Thiscommittee met and. drafted a resolution of condolence to the family of the late Matthew Lockhart, Auburn, who was for years a leading con- servative and fellow -worker iii the associ= ation, They also drafted a resolution of confidence in premiers Hearst and Bor- den also in the Governments of which they are heads; Both resolutions were unanimously carried. Hon. Mr. McPherson in opening his address, congratulated the Conservatives of North Huron on the splendid attend- ance and on the good feeling evidenced at the meeting Mr. Fraser he declared was not the true representative of the People and would not but for the.unfortun- ate family feud, have been in parliament. The speaker then dealt at length with questions out of the war which eventually closed with the great edefeat of Ger many and her allies. It is in the discretion of the Govern- ment, he declared, when"the next election will take place, .Premier Hearst has filled the office with general satisfaction during a most trying period and the province to- day stands in a position superior toeany part of the British domains... Speaking on the temperance queston Mr. McPherson declared that the action of the Government was purely a war measure in the interests of the people. Referring to the "present destructive rtrike at Winnipeg, he declared, "law and order must be uwheld for the honor of the nation." In closing he urged that a candidate for the Legislature be brought ont by the Conservatives of North Huron as early as' possible. Mr. McPherson was given a rising ovarion as he sat down. Mr. T. R. Bennett in a neat and .brief address called on all conservatives to unite and to forget the little family quarrel between the supporters of Dr. Case and Mr, Spotton and to get together as in unity only can there be strength. Mr, John Joynt also spoke briefly and was well received The meeting coucluded with the pass- ing of a very hearty vote of.thanks to Dr, Redmond for his able services as presi- dent of the Conservative Association for many years and regret was expressed at his resignation.

Service Wilt Be 'Meld Qu Sunday hiext Sunday, June 29th will be a joy. ous day for the congregation of St. Paul's Church, for onthat day they will coin, memorate the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the first St, Paul's in this town, The birthday of the congretation, how- ever, dates back to 1807, when Rev, Win Murphy opened services and organized the congregation Soon, plans were be. gun for a new church, and thou gh the congregation was small, their zeal was un- bounded and the first church, dedicated to St. Paul, was indeed a fine structure and does credit to the• earnestness and zeal of those early pioneers, Mr. Mur. pity continued rector until 1871. and the church grew steadily in strength. Frons Wingham as a centre, he went afield and under him Churches of Brussels, Blyth and Lucknow had their beginning. In 1872 he ` was succeeded by Rev. Wm Davis, who is well remembered by many of the present congregation. Mr. Henry Davis, present collector of customs, still remains a member of the congregation, keeping his father's name and tradition a living force in the parish, In 1881 Mr. Davis was succeeded by Rev, W. T, Hill present rector of Petrolia, Mr. Hill resig- ned in 1883 and Rev. Robert McCosh be. came fourth incumbent having charge of the parish until, 1887. The old rectory was purchased during this time. The next rector was the Rev. J. H. Moorhouse who was followed in 1890 by Rev. E. W. elughes now in S Cortina, although Mr. Hughes remained only until' 1893 he saw the beginning of the present handsome church the cor her stone of which was laid in 1892. The work was completed under his successor Rev Louis G Wood at present in Charleston Va..- - The new church was opened in October 1893 and will ever be a monument of the zeal and devotion of the congregation of that day. In 1895 Mr. Wood - was suc- ceeded by Revs Wm. Lowe who for ten years served , most happily. It was in 1903 that the debt was finally paid off and in May of that year the church was consecrated by Bishop Baldwin, In 1905 Mr. Lowe moved to St. Matthew's church London, and was succeeded by Rev. Dr. Boyle, now principal of Kirig's College, Windsor, N. 8. It was during the incum- bency of.Dr. Boyle that Mills Memorial Hall was purchased and fitted up as a Parish Club- House, a large part of, the cost being contributed by the Iate Mr. T. A. Mills. In 1908 Dr. Boyle resigned and Rev. C, E. Jeakins became rector remaining how- ever only until Dec. 1909. Though his stay was short the church prospered con- gregations were perhaps never larger than at this time. The next rector was Rev. E. H. Croly, who was much beloved by all. _He was succeeded in 19I4 by Rev. E. G. Dymond who was followed in 1917 •LIVE FOXES WANTED We wish to buy live silver, black, cross and red foxes.
