    Notes:

    Arriving at the four corners of Water Street crossing, we quite naturally look for the old Waterloo House, where now stands the Bank of Montreal, the old hardware store of James Warnock, and the dry goods store of Frederick Guggisberg [James was a clerk for Guggisberg], afterward the firm of Woods and Taylor; and for the drug store of W. H. Lutz, where the Bank of Toronto now stands. Again we look for the old Gillespie drygoods store now occupied by the Canadian Bank of Commerce, and lastly for the Wilkins' clothing store, supplanted by the Imperial Bank. It is rather difficult in the dim darkness of these four unlighted money shrines to determine the wonderful change that has been accom- plished at these ancient four corners.

    Notes:

    Death of Mrs. James Woods

    After many weary months of suffering, borne with Christian fortitude and womanly heroism, this lady passed to her rest on Tuesday morning last. Her funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon, and was very largely attended by friends in Galt and other places desirous of expressing their sympathy with the sorrowing family. As a mark of respect the stores were closed during the time of the funeral. The floral decorations sent by friends and the teachers in the Sunday school were most beautiful.
