He was the son of Matthew Emmerson, a farmer of Mariposa Township. There the young boy spent his early childhood; but his father family moved to Scugog Island and later to Cartwright, where they lived on a farm near Caesarea for a number of years. In early manhood Matthew and his brother Thomas (the only member of the family who is now living) went into partnership as contractors and builders. They erected many barns and some school buildings. - -Mr. Emmerson married Martha Swain in 1877. Seven children were born to them, six of whom survive their father--Dr. Wm. 8.

Upon his return to Port Perry he became foreman of the planing factory of what is now the Port Perry Milling and Lumber Company. He continued to hold that positih until the year 1917, when he "retired from active work. Since that time Mr. Emmerson has spent his summers at his home here and his winters with his children in Toronto. A pleasing event of last year was the visit of Mr. Thomas Emmerson, who came down from his home in Saskatoon, and spent some weeks with his brother in Port Perry. That visit was very greatly enjoyed by both of them. .

All the organiza- tions of the church were reported to be in a flourishing condition, and the total givings of the church for all purposes were over $8,000, some $2500 of which is sent for missionary and extension work. A feature of the evening's program was the reading of a brief history of the Port Perry church from the time of its btiilding until now. This church was opened in 1885, was built by John Powers and Mr. Deverall. Rev. J. F. Ockley was pastor at that time. The church building, including the organ, only cost $14,000, which shows how greatly costs have increased since then. The total cost was met within ten years from the erection of the new building. free World, $6 mtn Anion AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY MEETING The annual meeting of the Port Perry, Reach and Scugog Agricultural Society" was held at the Treasurer's office on Saturday afternoon last and there was a good attendance of those interested.

The pictures were all instructive, some of them amusing, describing the infinite amount of work which goes into the making of one telephone, alone. One of the most interesting was the one which showed the Bell Telephone Ex- perimental Building, where expert scientists and inventors, work daily to bring the telephone to a higher stand- ard of perfection. It is amazing to think that a huge skyscraper in a great city is for this purpose alone. A piano duet, and a solo by Miss Florence McMillan, completed the program. (Some of us enjoyed an our way home.) The rink is being greatly patronized by the students of both high and public schools. Rumors of a skating party for the students are current in the school. This party will occur on a Friday night in the near future. "THe "public dre Tnvited anti-climax by falling on the ice on = =
