Elias Williams was the first settler who purchased Lots 19 and 20 in Concession 6 of Reach Township in 1831, which included 400 acres. The membership felt that Williams Creek would be an appropriate name. This 400 acres occupied all of downtown Port Perry as we know it today. The Pioneer Fall Fair was considered a success. The carol service was also discussed. Our Church News Everything is still rolling along with the church renovation, but if they had more help, it would go faster. It is sur- prising when you think of a small group of people making the strides they have to date. Caesarea Hall Board Don't forget that the Halloween Dance is com- ing up on Saturday, Oct. 27.

A farmer, believing that if a Quaker was selling it he wouldn't be taken, bought the horse. The very next day the farmer was back to see the Quaker, as he found the horse to be lazy and ill- tempered. The Quaker said, "You asked me the price and nothing more. If you had asked I would have told you." The farmer said, "I don't want you to take the horse back, but I'd like to borrow your hat and coat for a while." is planned for Oct. 28 The Greenbank Church music committee is pleased to announce that the grand piano has arrived, the re- construction has been com- pleted.
