SPECIAL COUNCIL METING.
Resignation of W. H. Green, Manager
Electric Light. Dept, M eepted.
A. special meeting of the Town
Council was held on Thursday even,
ing, to consider the report of the
Executive committee concerning the
Electric Light.
The report referred to above was
read ; it was in substance as follows :--
1--That the committee had received
the resignation of Mr, Green, to take
effect on the 15th, and had accepted
it.
2—Mr. Brooks had also informed
them that he iutendecl to work for the
corporation no longer. The conmiit-
teec
hitt corresponded with a gentle-
man, who was well recommended, but,
before engaging hien, bad decided to
lay the matter before the Council.
Mr. Kaiser was present and wished
to address the Council, to ask for re-
fund of part of his Trailer's license.
He was willing the °oetneil should
deduct three or even four years' taxes,
but thought it unfair for hint to pay
the full fee under the circumstances.
No action was taken.
Clause No. 1 of the report of Execu-
tive was then taken up. Councillor
Nicholson moved, Conn. McDonald
seconded --That this Council approve
of the action of the Executive in ac-
cepting the resignation of Mr. Green,
Discussion then followed. Conn,
Gordon regarded the step taken as
most important. There had been, it
was true, .dissatisfaction, hut he
thought that previous Councils were
to blame, Had the fixtures, etc., not
been given over, much of the ground
of complaint would have been re-
moved. When the dams had been in
danger, Mr. Green had not spared
himself to save the town property.
The Mayor stated that Mr. Green
had only given him three days' notice,
but he had been on the look -out, and
a man was available who would de-
vote all his time to the work for $1000
per annum. He thought that when
the town paid the wages, they should
control the men.
Reeve Irwin objected to the town
having to pay retail rates. He
thought the best plan was to have a
complete change of men.
The motion was then put and car-
ried.
On clause 2, Coun's Bell and Nichol-
son moved—That regarding the en-
gagement of manager and other work-
men, the matter be left in the hands
of the Executive, with power to act--
carr•ied.
* Coun. Kerr moved, seconded by
Coun. Gordon—That the Executive
interview C. Lloyd & Son ,in order to
ascertain what encouragetneut would
induce thein to remain permanently.
Coun. Kerr spoke in support of the
motion, stating that he knew several
places had offered very tempting in-
ducements. He thought something
should be done, as their removal
would mean the loss of several fami-
lies.
The motion was put and carried,
and Council adeourned.

A Fall Resulted In Death,
On Friday last, Police Magistrate
Humber, Goderich, fell downstairs in
the house of A. Thompson, one of his
tenants; the result was concussion of
the brain, from which he was not ex-
pected to recover, He was fixing up
the house at the time, the family being
away. As the large bath -tub was
found et the head of the stairs it le
supposed that he attempted to take it
down single-handed and was over-
balanced. He was found late in the
afternoon lying unconscious at the
foot of the stairs. A telegraphic mes-
sage oar Sunday reports that Mr.
Humber died on Saturday, as a re.
suit of the fall.
Much Appreciated.
Among the many kind wards from
its exchanges, none are more sincerely
appreciated than the following
"Mr. T. Hall has completed nine
years as editor and publisher of the
Wingharn Advance. The Advance
has been wonderfully improved dur-
ing those years and Mr. Hall is
deserving the increased patronage his
paper is receiving. Our best wishes

"The Wingham Advance has been
nine years under the management of
Editor Halt, and has made many
marked improvemente in every de-
partment under his guidance. The
Advance is one of one best and neatest
county exchanges."—[Goderich Star.
"The Little Eaton."
This is the name that G. C. Hanna
has given his new clothing and house -
furnishing store. He is making an
attractive store of what was formerly
the dingy old postoffice stand, and is
putting in some of the best fittings
obtainable. Among the improve-
ments we might mention are :—Six
Weir wardrobe clothing cabinets;
three handsome crystal silent sales-
men, with electric fixtures ; a sixteen -
foot hat case, manufactured by towns-
man 5, Bennett; a glass roll-top um-
brella case; new carpet rack and car-
pet sewing machine. The floor bas
been covered with linoleum, and the
shop fitted with •new style shelving.
Last, but by no means least, an elec-
tric flash sign has been installed, the
first of the kind in town. The fittings
have been costly, but they are good
and should help to attract by proper-
ly displaying goods.
A Varna Wedding.
A very interesting event occurred
at the home of Mr. Alex. Mitchell,
Thorne Hedge farm, Varna, on Thurs-
day, 14th inst., when his neice, Miss.
Margaret Hamilton of Varna, was
united in marriage to Mr. Sami. Ham-
ilton of Shabbona, Michigan, Rev, T.
Davidson being the officiating clergy-
man. The bride, who was attired in
a pearl grey travelling suit and at-
tended by Miss Eleanor Davidson as
flower girl, was the recipient of many
handsome and useful presents. A
large number of relations and friends
from the vicinity and a distance were
present, among whom were noticed
Mrs. (Rev.) Davidson and daughters,
Mr. and Mrs. Wylie of Toronto, Mrs.
Sturdy of Lucknow, 1,iMr. McClenaghen
of Whitechurch and many others.
The bride and groom leave shortly for
their home across the line, with best
wishes of a large circle of friends.
Died in Walkerton,
Mr. Patrick Cummins, formerly of
Wingham, died in Walkerton, on the
10th inst. He carne to Huron County
with his father 50 years ago, settling
on a farm in West Wawanosh, where
he continued to reside for 40 years,
and where he is entitled to be classed
as one of the pioneers of the nnmi-
cipality. Owing to ill -health he was
obliged quit d to q tit the farm. Moving to
Seaforth he lived in a retired state for
some time, but afterwards, carne to
Wingham and bought out the Central
Hotel, now known as the National
Hotel. Later, he removed to Walker-
ton and purchased the Walker House,
which he conducted for the succeeding
two years. His health again failing

nesday of last week. He was 02 years

Town Council Notes.
As will be seen by minutes of a spe
cial meeting of the Council, in anothe
column, Mr. Green has resigned th
position of Manager of the 1alectri
Light plant, and his resignation ha
been accepted, The 'natter of ensa
ging his successor 'was left by the
Council in the hands of the Executive
oomntittee, and they- have engaged
Mr. Wiles, of Woodstock, who come
highly recommended, His salary will
be $1,000 a year, and he will be expect
ed to devote all his time in working
hours in the service of the corpora
tion, He began his duties on Tuesday
of this week, Mr. Green is going into
the building and contracting
Mayor Holmes manifests considerable
tact in the work of the Council His
long experience is valuable to the
Town, as well as to himself, and he
gives evidence of being a first-class
Executive officer., ...A number of im-
provements are noticeable in the
Council work: 1st --Motions roust be
made in writing, and seconded, before
being discussed, and Councillors must
speak on the motion before the Coun-
cil. After full discussion, the 'notion
- is put. Formerly the discussion came
first, and the motion last (as a sort of
benediction as it were). 2nd—All re-
ports of committees must be laid be.
fore the Council in writing; verbal re-
ports are out of date, and usually not
considered. 3rd—All the decisions and
acts of the Executive are laid before
the Council at the neat meeting for
approval or otherwise. 4th --Council-
lors are expected to be "on time," and
in speaking to confine themselves
to the "question." This systematic
method saves time, and shortens the
sessions. The Council of 11)07 gives
evidence of being capable and effi-
cient. They will no doubt reader the
town excellent service, At • least,
they have begun well, and the tax-
payers will no doubt "give theta a
chance" to show what they can do,
before severely criticizing their ac-
tions. Much is expected of them....
Mr. Barber of Meaford was here lastk
week , he would like to install a water-
wheel at the electric light works that
would do more work, with less waste
of water, and pay for itself in what it
would save, inside of one year, even
less. This is Mr. Barber's claim, and
as he makes a first-class waterwheel,
he knows what he is talking about... .
Chairmen of committees will have to
get their estimates in early this year
With an electric plant of its own,
and two waterpowers, why cannot
the municipality take into considers•
tion the question of furnishing electric
power to the industries of town. It
might cost something to start, but
would bring a yearly income, It
might be wise for a committee of the
Council to investigate, find the cost
and probable income. The more that
can be made out of the plant, the bet-
ter for the finances of the town.
Mr. J. D. Burns has just received a
fresh stock of Campbell's Varnish
Stains. These Stains are easy to ap-
ply and are ve►'y useful for staining

color card.
Two flat cars were run past the
end of the G. T. R. switch at the Chair

Last week, Mr. W. H. Willis, of the

capital to run it than Mr. Willis

hoped that arrangements will shortly
be made to have the factory placed on
a firm and going basis. The town is
amply secured for its loan of

precautionary measures following the
somewhat extravagant or careless
