mmhntr i wrttm i hmmkl grmuckart llmmtll bfd at his boyhood home the following written by the old man in the acron pree press a couple of weeks ago refers to our es teemed townsman major grant and will prove interesting to many of pus readers- it did my old heart good on satur day to see my venerable friend major grant of georgetown wandering about town the major came up with the brethren of credit lodge to attend the masonic picnic in acton parte but the dear old man found much more pleasure in going over the haunts of his youth where he had roamed as a young chap sixtyfive years ago and where he had grown to mans estate and into the activities and responsi bilities of real life i was glad i say to see my friend again sjnid the scenes of his younger life for it had been reported about town that lachlan grants eighty four years were beginning to grow heavy upon his shoulders and that he was spending most of the time now tn tak ing matters easy about his own hqme but lo and behold 1 espied him not in the park and on the picnic grounds with his brethren of the square and compass and mavslsters of the eastern star but out on lake avenue peering intently about for old elm trees or out- jutting of the shore line of fairy lake or big stones which marked the old foot path which led up to lovers point on the peninsula where the westerly limits of the park run out into the lake interrogated by friends when he had returned to the park he at onceejacu- lated well i found it all rights- found what queried a member of credit lodge why i found the place over there on the shore of the old min pond near lake avenue and the fine homes there where i won my first root race in acton sixtyfive years ago you know i never was a very big fel low but i won this race ram a big chap who lived here then and ive been proud about it ever since the major didnt reveal to his com party of listeners whether he had con tinued his walk up lake avenue and past the ole swunmln hole and along the race course to lovers point to see if the tree still standing there where he had carved a heart and the initials lo and lo inside of it bantered as to whether he remem bered the site of the home or william webber the dusty miller who run the wcklln flour mills in those days he feigned ignorance of the location one of the party ventured to remind him of the little ravine with the plank across to mr webbers gate and where he so often went to call at the web ber home where fbufcomely daugh ters resided oh yes he admitted but generally there was an empty water pall there and i was invited to run down to the spring across from the mill and get a bucket of clear cold water of course i remember but i was not confined to the millers house when i desired the company of fine young women of which acton pro duced many often i might have beenffound at a home up main street where there were more of them and s merrier lot i thought than at mr webbers mr and mrs james cameron had a galaxy of real rose buds in their home a full hair dosen of them and they were friendly girls musical and full of fun every last one of them and then up the road there were more fine girls whom i knew very well there was sarah jane rail daughter of squire hall on the farm adjoining camerons she was tall and flne-jook- ing real high and mighty if we ever got together the boys used to talk about the long and the short of it well in her case she got a fine match at last when she married christopher cookman a tall thin methody presy- cher and was happy ever after sometimes t would spend an even ing up at lasbys farm where there was another full half dosen of spright ly maidens they were popular too and all of them were well married above- them on the same line was the cummlngs family often there i would find not only two daughters bat sev eral girl cousins generally howe i went off with sandy the sportuw son of the home who was always up some prank or another then went on the major i knew quite intimately the matthews girls but like tn the oummlngs home i was generally found with ed the horseman of the family say i hear ed is still living in kitchener with one of his daughters they say he still admires a good horse and has sn innate feeling thathed like to feel the line guiding him but like ed and me few of us are len and there are few fine horsesr in the land i hear ed wanders up to seagrams stables lri waterloo once in a while to have a look at the string of racers there but i must mention another house ful of girls in the old town where i often spent a pleasant hour in my young days and that was malcolm kennedys just across from the old i presbyterian church where the four or five vivacious daughters were al ways good entertainers f usually found charlie dean ujere when i went calling and charlie eventually carried away the eldest daughter kate to his home and heart i was rather surplrsed to hear the major say he had been looking for henry smiths old residence but could not find it well well thats s good one on lachle henry smiths house still stands on main street not a block from where the store used to be locat ed where lachlan and his brother john used to hand out dry goods and notions to their many customers and the roughcast store where henry smith used to sell furniture still stands be side the smith residence well i was glad indeed to see my old friend again hes just as loyal to ac ton as ever he was and acton 111 al ways be glad to welcome him cordially when ho conies burglars captured by former georgetown man we clipped the following from the chatham dally news of sept 3rd re lating to the capture of two burglars in highgate by norman h brown formerly of georgetown the fact that two out of three men who planned and carried out the early morning robbery at highgate are now in jail awaiting sentence within a rev hours the perpetuation of the crime is due to the bravery of norman i- brown proprietor of a bakery in high- gale brown who starts work about 230 every morning went to his shop as usual today and found that the hydro power was off on bis way home- lo telephone the hydro station ait riuge- town he noticed lights in the crosby hardware store and investigated there wjts a motor car in front of the place and three men inside hurrying home he secured his revolver and then sum- moned bis hired man who was at the shop he returned to the crosby store just as the trio ran but and the hydro lights came on without hesitating brown gave chase and captured one of the men after run through streets and back yards he turned him over to his hired man arid started out after the other twoi one of them succeeded in ehidlng cap ture until he came to a high fence by the time brown returned to the store with the second man several other citlsens were there in the meantime the third member of the gang managed to get away with the car however this fellow did not want to desert his companions who were being held captives in the store without some effort to aid them and drove passed the store four or five times after turning over the second captive to the care of others brown replenished his ammunition supply from the stock tn the store and start ed out after the third man he fired several times as the fellow drove along the street but the shots had no effect brown is confident that the car when found will show evidence of the shots notes and comments poisonous mushrooms have danger signals the popular theory that any mush room which peels readily is dt to eat la exploded by w s odell mycologist of the dominion department of agri- cuilure a strange fact is that the poisonous classes peei quite as readily as do the edible varieties observes mr odell there are only two classes of poisonous mushrooms and a simple scientific test tells one in a moment just which these are the two poisonous classes of mush rooms are the ply aminita and the destroying angel or death cap each of these has three distinguishing marks white gills underneath the cap a collar at the top of the stem and a series ofings or a cap at the base the ply aminita in addition has a brill f ant orange cap a san added dan ger signal the display of mushrooms at the dominion experimental farms exhibit at the canadian natiorml exhibition at toronto this year proved a highly interesting attraction only 46 varie ties of edible mushrooms were dis played however owing to the drought which- has prevailed over a large sec tion of the country last year the display featured 02 edible varieties mk odell states mat given a few showers in the near future a bounti ful supply of mushrooms would be available for the picking they say great minds think alike and we have almost come to that con clusion since receiving the following from a town ratepayer your reference in a recent issue of the herald to high taxes was very timely and will be widelv ap proved rt is admitted that lit most munfcipalittes there has to be a fairly high tax rate to keep pace with neces sary iinprovements but there is a limil that if exceeded the axpayers have a right to enquire what future neces sities or intentions are excessive taxa tion is one thing that will definitely work ajpiinst the interests of a muni cipality i am one of many that hope for a reduction rather than an increase in present rates while i have my pen in hand i wfcnt to say how much i enjoy the great mount of interesting news that comes through ttoe herald weekly announcement has been made by premier ferguson that the govern ment will launch an extensive educa tional campaign to encourage the buy ing and eating of canadian products in ontario radio lecture staffs and newspapers will all figure in the pro gram we are determined said the prime minister to show to the people the real qualities of our products to demonstrate the value of our own mar kets and to prove to them the advan tages of buying at home in- short we want to establish a greater
