Mr. Small is by long odds the oldest man in this part of Ontario, having celebrated his 102nd birthday last August. - A couple of years ago Mr. Small had a severe attack of grippe, and it is rather curious that, whereas before this attack he was a man of slight band, he has since then. though over 100 years of age, put on considerable flesh.
