Present APPROPRIATE POEM. A few years later a packing house was built in Peterboro and after- waids another in Ottn‘wa. The fuc- tor-y here was closed down 1111897. Previous to this the business had been formed into a, limited liability company. - Then Mr. and Mrs. Matthews went to Oshawa fora year or so. Mr. Mat- thews conducting a general busian in that town. On his return to Lind- Say he was given the position of sup- erintendent of the packing house of C. L. Baker. This packing house was ”acquired by mm in 1878. and from then 'Mr. Matthew's rise in the world was rapid. Shortly after his marriage he mov- ed to Lindsay where he conducted a provision store which was ameng the eagliest in this town. This store was destroyed by the big fire which laid waste 1the town in its early history. - ' BORN IN ENGLAND.

The directors of the fair came to the conclusion that they would in future have to provide more amuse- ments it they want to retain their reputation at having a successful fall fair.
