GIANT Lons.-What perhaps were
the largest logs ever brought into
town, at least for many a day, were
those which Richard Baker . toot to
the saw mill at the Organ Factory on
Tuesday. They consisted of fwo very
large logs twelve feet in l•rigth cut
from a soft elm tree tak' II off the
farm of 14 Jenkins ; theii diameter
was five feet or about sixteen feet in
circumference. Close on to 1600 feet
of lumber will be found in each. They
were considered so large that a photo
was taken by Photographer Burgess,
and were so big that Mr James Hearn
the Well-known cattle dealer, went
down to help unlold them.
DEATH OF AN EDITOR. -We regret
to announce the death of John White,
senior proprietor and for many years
the active editor 'of the Exeter Times,
((ionservative.) which occurred on Sat-
urday, at the age of. 'V years. Deems -
ed was well known, particularly in the
southern part of the county. His eld-
est son, Will J., is at present tendent at Ottawa; an-
other son, Miller, condticts the Time:s,
and he has another son at Windsor; pie
wife and two daughters also survive
him. He was a Methodist. Ws death
is the first among the editorial ranks
of the county for a good ninny years.
CENSUS NI/meas.-When the first
Dominion census was ts.ken, 30 years
ago, the enumerators in town were
Messrs Isaac Jackson and the late
William Core. Twenty years ago
when it was taken the enumerators in
town were Messrs W. H. Ransford
and James Racey, jr., and ten years
ago the enumerators were the late
Edmund Corbett and David Cook, Jr.
There will be four enumerators at
the approaching census, one for each
ward, but who they will be has not
yet been decided. The enumerators
all over the Dominion will commence
their work on Monday, April lst,
and are expected to. be through by
two weeks. The appointment of
enumerators rests with the represen-
tative for the niding. but the proba-
bilities are that so far as West Huron
is concerned, the selection will be
left in the hands of the local organiza-
tion of every_ polling-subdivisien.
A meeting of West Huron Executive
will be held on Saturday- to consider
this matter,
