EARLY DAYS IN ENNISKILLEN By An Old Durham Boy 1 was much interested in recent issues of The Statesman containing histories of Hampton, Tyrone, Solina and other places. Those of'us who spent boyhood days, previous to, and in the 70's near vicinities meutioue< and have been away 40 or more years in distant parts, cannot but havea sof t spot somewhere lu mental make- up, when namnes of people and places known in boyhood days are recaile< te mmnd. My memory clings more cçlosely, however, to Enniskilien in wliichI received my early scbooling and near whc1 lived tili "going out into the world." The village on a ihl-top-to my youthful mind then, a place of great importanice. Most of the trades and professions more nearly touchiug the necessities of the people in village and neighborhood were well repre- sented-cooper, shtemaker, biack- smithaud horseshoer, carpenters and plasterers, carniage and wagon mak- ers, a harness maker or saddler as termed then. A doctor who: couic pull teeth wheu required, a foundry and machine shop, two stores and 1three churches. 4nd, as if to vie with churches, therý were three tav- erus or inus, to which the, modern' term of "booze shops" could have -been aptly applied. A toli gate waE' on the road running north from vil- lage, a Post office, a tailor sbop, and a dressmaker and perhups other useful calings, 1 do nlot recail. Oh, yes, there was a photographer and a weav- er. Most of those wbo were then busy and active in the 1f e of the com- munity have long sînce passed away, as also many of the playmates who neyer grew to be old. 1A thought comes to me, in cou- trasting those eariier days with the present time of prohibition as to those three taverns or luns, how they ex-' isted. There were few travelers to Irequire accommodations, so that the upkeep of the place must have been iargely provided for by the sale of' liquor. Five cents a glass was the usual price for ail kinds of drinks, hard or soft, and the same size glass was used for whiskey as f or beer. If a bnrkeep had placed one -of the small modemn glasses before a thirsty customer lookiug for whiskezi those days, would sure have, had the -glass thrown at hlm. But whiskey was cheap being often or usually made on tlhe premises. A. single gallon of the genuine stuif would serve as a busis, it wus said, for at least two barrels suitable for customers. One of'these taverus, at one time, changed owners.. The new proprie- tor was duly initiated into the secret of whiskey making. The old barrel lu the cellur which had served its purpose, no doubt, for many years, was replaced by a néw one, and the contents which was left in it was emptied in the shed yard. À flock of geese and some hens which shelter-. ed arouud there, were ail kiiled, pois- oued by mistaking the dregs for water. It was a standing joke for some time. But the fate of the fo6wls had littie effect on the thirsty ones, us a warniug. The outlue of social conditions so far referred to was as I remember lu 1866, and following years. About' this date a-new school house had been compieted. It was quite a building, too, for the time, large and com- modious rooms, desks and everything new from the bell down. The day when school w4s opened iu the uew building, was given over to speeches by the trustees and other prominent citizens to whomn reference may be made later. There was special cause for rejoicing, because there were free schools, recently declared se by law, which relieved parents of chiidren attending school, alone to heur ahl expenses of tachers' salary and up-- keep of the school. Previous to the ueactment of, the iaw regarding free schoois, at eaclý unnual school meeting, besides' elect- tien of trustees, there was votiug of ratepayers te decide whether or not the scbooi would "be free for the en- suing year. The voting was gener- aily spirited, often close and while Il do not know if the free school ad-jD vocates ever iost an eleetion. once or twice I remember the mai ority was1 only two votes. There were lu the section, then, quite a number of bachelors and, otheigg who had no childreu to seud to scbool, and osme of these strenuously objected to help« to puy as they ýaid for educating« other peoples' children.

There was a well equipped Hospital tent with clever cadet orderlies under a good medical officer.. Fortunate- ly the hospital was but littie used as the health of the camp was exceed- ingly good. Reveille sounded ut 6 a. m., early *parade and prayers ut 6.45 a. m., then breakfast, At 8.30 a. m., tent par- ade, by which time blankets were neatly folded and, piléd by the tents, nndc everything had to be in perfect 1order. Then came, physical exer- cises, drill, instruction ut the ranks. Dinner at 12. From 1.30 to 4 the ,time was occupied much the samne as in the forenoon. At 4.30 swim- ming parade, when there was much joyous splashing and diving in The Little Lake, which is only a f ew min- utes walk from the camp, under the watchful eye of a Sergeant Major who carefully counted to see that as many cadets came out of the water as went in, At 5.30 the bugle sounded fotr supper, and after that the cadets were free to amuse them- selves at basebail, football and in other ways. The Secretary of the City Y. M. C. A., gave a movie show each even ing, and one eyenîng Capt. J. B. Neale deiighted the boys with bis clever conjuriug. Bowmanvilie Corps was detailed Éfor duty at the Ranges, asMarkers, Signallers and Sentries and received highest praîse for the excellence of theïr work from the musketry in- intrcor, Captainý J. B.

The Instructors of the several corps took a keen and sympathetîc interest lu ail that went f orward, and if future camps are couductedas this one was, parents of cadets need not hesitate to allow the boys to go to the uext Cadet Camp. Officers, Iu- structors and Cadets were unanimous in prououncing it "a good camp". On Thursday afternoon there was a Field Day for sports wheu valuable prizes were awarded to the wininè'rs in the various eveuts. B. H. S. Cadets scored the highest aggregate of. points, 27.
