of georgetown by c w young as written for the herald 20 years ago aa was natural the scotch people of exquesfng and there were many of them took to curling and the shnoats and mackinnons from the scotch block oregathered with the youngs and the macmuians and many others whose names are not presently recal led in grand bonspiels on the old stewarttown pond where rinks were cleared or snow and nothing short or a blizzard or a big thaw interfered with the roaring game with braid scots accompaniment there were no granite stones in those old times but beech blocks were cut in the spring and sunk in the wa ter till fall when they were turned on a lathe end fitted with handles and gaudily painted true they used to fly in pieces sometimes in the keen frosty an but they were cheap and easily replaced i wonder if any of these old relics are still preserved in the archives of the oeoigetown curling club these bonsplels weae inevitably wound up wltft a supper of beef and greens and tell it

dients for my prize loaf very carefully and of course i used be ghen to the poor there were no gold and sliver medals to be com petwl for in the primitive days the game was played for the love of it more old taverns taverns were a necessity in the ear ly days and there were lots of them my veneiable mend the old man of the acton free press reminds me that there were twenty of them be lween acton

well known house of call was a silver creek on the seventh lln thre or four miles from georgetown on the way to erin village this was kept by a motherly old lady named mrs preston who was a great ravourite with the travelling public oppos e the tavern a crystal spring gushed ou from the hillside flowing into a trough where the horses were watered i the men persons rerreshing themselves with something more potent in the barroom across the way this water from this spring supplied the mains of the georgetown gravity waterworks but that was long afterwards target practice with so many sportsmen in the rank of the volunteer company tar get practice was naturally a favorite im me with the citizen soldiers and theic was always a full muster for the butts the georgetown range was in a triangular field east of the grand trunk and west of the white bridge the sta tlon of the hamilton and northwestern station was in this field latr the targets were of pine white washed and painted with outer centre and bull s eye and plugs were driven into the bullet holes with a malle there were no mounds of earth be hind the targets and the bullets spent ihcmselvo in the dense pine bush tre butt logs of which were of not much value for lumber but timber was cheap then the olunteers were armed with muzzleloading enflelds and the load ing of thm was a ceremony the cart i idges were of paper and the end con taining the powder was twisted or bit ten ofr and emptied into the rifle bar rel then the ball was reversed and rammed down with a steel rod the putting on of a percussion cap

occasion when the stewarttown company was practls lng the wild geese were flying thickly the men wanted to try a volley at them- the captain consented and several geese were brought down but there waen t much left or them the enfield were soon barred at the turkey shoots it was the custom make a box or heavy oak plank in which the unrortunate turkey was placed its head sticking through a hole in the side ten cents a shot was paw and the bird belonged to the man who could kill the turkey this was ill right enough as long as the firing was confined to sporting rifles but at the comparatively short range the big conical ball smashed through three inches of oak as if it was paper and there was a mess of blood feathers and turkey flesh inside the fenian raid these old rifles remind me bt the fenian raid of 1668 i had the honor or belonging to the 13th battalion of hamil on and took part in the en gagetnent at ridgeway in june of that year when we were armed with en rie ids in the excitement of battler for it was a genuine fight if a short one many of the soldiers forgot to mtc3heenurf t or to w reverse them and rammed them down 6y barrel as jheywere putting thelr guns out of

improvement- in my bread immediately not only in the ease with which it kneads up but in the flavour and texture of my bread and rolls after kneading dough carefully i try to make each loaf a nice bal anccd shape so that it will bake out as a well proportioned loaf with an even golden colour i enjoy baking for local fairs bat this is the first tune i have won first prize at the bi exhi bition and i certainly think robin hood hour should have a lot of the credit for high quality flour makes high quality bread every time why not follow the example of this champion bread baker and use robin hood
