As Salisbury fis well known ag Sarum, so is England's oldest bor: ough, Barnstaple, as Barum, which may have been the Romap name of the town. According to ld memor< ials, "the old name of the town was Abertawe, because it stood towards the mouth of Taw River." The Saxons changed it to Berndenstaple.! Barnstaple appears to have been re- presented in the Witenagemot or Anglo-Saxon Parliament. Thus it is one of the oldest boroughs--if not absolutely the oldest--in the king- dom. Its broadcloth manufacture, once an important industry, has now died out, but there are manufactur- ers of lace and gloves, large cabinet works, tanneries, and potteries ("Barum ware"), ' Reviseil Opinions, Like John Burns, another Libor leader who has had occasion to caf good running order, self starter, electrie lights and . &ood tires; to be | top, in first elass condition, at reasonable price. » - Porritt Garage Co. - Limited | WELLINGTON STREET ate "i Phone 454 | CE ----------teeanneee TITTIES i Cyril Maude who says he has discov- Thaseen 'Men's Cushion Sole ViciKid 1 r x i $ <q there is no better food than Grape-Nuts with cream or good milk.
