EOWMANVILLE, JUNE Znd., 1921. HISTORY 0F SOLINA, Dear Old Solina ! It is -%vrth whi t to tell its story. 1 arn glad that Rev. David Rogers-a distant cousin of mine-as is Mr. Geo. E. Gibbard who wrote about Tyrone-afld Charlie Bice, have started the good work. Charlie, as he says, was my, chief playmate. When we were boys we could defeat any-pair of inen.in ou-1r district pitching quoits. We had a pair of light quoits, and we played so regularly, that the 13 year old muscles in ou?ý arins learned the dist- ance between the posts so well that we could pitch nearly as well in the darkness as in the light. Every- body liked Charlie, and 1 am glad that our early friendship lias continued throiugh the years. 1 propose to add occasionally to the work of writing the history of Solina by finishing some points not, made quite clear by other writers. Both Rev. Mi. Rogers and Mr. Charies M. Bice, a distinguished law- yer in Denver, .referred to, the fact that, the naine of the village wasi originally Pilchardtown. It was known by this naine till 1858. Myî father the late John Hughes, was then the teacher in the village. H1e asked' a number of the lesding young.men of the village and neighborhood to meet in the schoolhouse one night and told thein he would like thein to help to make a new name for the vil- lage-not a naine chosen froin any of the British Isles, as, Tyrone and -En- niskillen had been named from Irish places, or the name of isome great mnan as in the case of Hampton. 11e wrote six letters on the blackboard, three consonants and three vowels, and asked eacb one present to make as many words as he could froin the six letters. The consonants were 1, n and s, and the vowels were, a, i and o. When the li sts were complete each name suggested was written-on the blackboard, and each man asked to write bis choice on a paper. After the first ballot nîl the naines, not voted f or were dropped, and finally -Solina was made the -unanimous choice. It was a good evening's work, and the naine Solina was ac- cepted as the naine of the villagze. Mr. Bice says, quite correctly, that Kit Mitchell bad humorously proposed the naine Pilcbardtowilh He des- cribes Kit as a most remiarkable and eccentric personage. The record of Christopher Mitchell should not be allowed to rest with this description. H1e was a man of "remarkable" power, pbysically lnnd intellectually. H1e was regarded as eccentric by two classes of men, The hotel keepers and the drinkers-the "wets"-of early days in Darlingten regarded hum as "eccentric" because he was one of the first temperance leaders in the township. The preachors of early days regarded hum as "eccentric" be- cause be did not belleve ail that they preached. Most of the preachers in the Solina Churcle Eldad, were local preachers. Th,'. were earnest wel~-meninS ienbut, the things they preached, and some of the thîngs they did, were far more "eccentric" than anything Kit did. 1One, of them circulated a petition, for instance, te prevent Hugh Toole, playing the violin not on Sunday alone, but on any day even,,in his own house. The saine good man cir- « culated a petition to have my father dismissed froin the school because he1 allowed me te read Dickens. They1 attacked Kit from the pulpit and caîl-_ ed hum an infidel, as they did me,1 wben 1 was thirteen. 11e did some1 f unny things in return. For some1 years he believed himself to be an 1nfidel. For four years 1 accepted bce title, and was an honest disbe- liever in several things the preachers preached. No one now believes the things Kit and I refused tubelieve more than sixty years ago. Kit hought se-called infidel books. I w rote and signed a pledge that I wiould be a truc man and do as much ý,ood as I coufld to make thie world better in order te show that infidels werc good men. If Kit and 4 had 'oninued to be infidels the men who rnwisely attaceked us would have been to blame. I tbink I arn the, only man wbo ý,nows that Kit Mitchell did not die- nn infidel. I was'fortunate in hear- n«,g Rev. George Lawrence, a Pros- byterian ministor in Clarke, whon I -'as a fariner oý the tewn line bo- týween Darlington and Clarke. 'His :rmon was the first sermon I ever c7ard that was truly logical and up- ifting. I reniained with sovon othors - or bis bible class, aind heard a great st~ ùhrhrcety 1 preach-- eli the fines infidel arguments'I ever t '3ard or read, and then he smiashed e iery argument to powder". I can't i swer hlm. Then I told m-y sin-i]ar- experierice with My. Lawrence, and ,.-e mutually congratulatled each When Kit leaped a roadside fonce HAMPTON (Received toc late for last issue.)
