Editor Banner, & Listowel, Ont. ar Sir, I noticed a few weeks ago that you sent payment for th Oconto Re- porter, and on reading the notice in the Reporter my memory reverted back to the early day when I lived in Millbank, presume is now_known as Milverton. Sixty-five years ago I visited Lis- towel, which then was a small com- munity in the northern part of the County of Perth, ‘and our means of travel in those days was a_ light spring wagon and two ponies. o was not very much acquainted with the northern Pert of Perth County, but rom of years’ residence in Millbank I had the » opportunity of travelling through the southern and oar section. Stratford, of course, was ou , and I visited that city I was also quite famil- jar with only the township of Mornington, but also with the sur- rounding townships. e most familiar names of the residents that I can gal] to mind were the mine Freebornes, . Whaleys. McDaffens, Loves, Cross- weNHs, Johnsons and Gillespies, but I euppose they about all passed away. My father, John Smith. owned the flouring and saw mills in Millbank. and also considerable timber land, but disposed of that property years ago; and moved from there to Ofl Springe where he published the Oil Springs Chronicle, later return- ing to Flora, where he published the Elora Observer, and finally moved to Guelph. the old home, where he died in March 1899, and that date was my last visit to Ontario. I-took up the printing business early in life in my father’s offices, and after finishing my education at the Guelph Grammar School and the Rockwood Academy I .went to Tor- Lah and spent a year acquiring knowledge of daily newspaper work te and the different kinds of job wor From Toronto I went to Freeport, Long Island, N.Y., where I aided in publishing a weekly newspaper for more than a year, then took up work | in New York in the various daily newspaper and job prnting offices in that city. Becoming imbibed with the T (Typographical Tourist) spirit, I spent between four and five years travelling during which I vis- ited about twenty-three states worked in all the large cities east of the Mississippi river. an a J a m og Louis, Litle Rock, Texarkana and New Orleans on the side of that great waterway.

Today we.have population. with facturing industry more than 400 people, and is con- etantly enlarging.

This. was a very suit- able place for suck’a gathering as it wae very close to bows and has very spacious lawns. There was a large crowd present, although it was not up to. the attendance of last year. The cremains will amount to a little over $260. The program was very varied one and differed considerably from the usual garden party programs. Possibly the chief attraction was the Scottish bag pipe players, the n Brothers, one from Moncrief and the other of Winnipeg. Both these men have received medals for their play- ing and’ gave several selections. Moving ‘pictures were thrown from a large screen on the verandah and proved very enjoyable, especially to the children present. Community singing was another feature of the i program and this was led by Mr. | Hoadley. Two selections were sung |by the Listowel Octette and Mr. Wellington Gibson sang two much appreciated solos.
