S. HUNTER SON NOW THE DURHAM CHRONICLE it soon became apparent the build- ing was doomed. The energies of the Workers Were then directed towards removing all implements and movable articles to a place of safety. A new set of bobsleighs a cutter and fanning mill were destroyed, besides 25 tons of hay, peas, barley, fall Wheat and some oats of this year‘s crop, and 100 bushels of oats and 120 bushels of fall Wheat. The loss is partly covered by insurance. A gentle rain falling the time the blaze was at its height, eliminated all possi- bility of the fire spreading to fen- ces and neighboring buildings. Mr Williams, very fortunately had about 25 acres of oats still stand- ing in the shock at the time of the fire, .Which will furnish him a little feed for the coming Winter. We sympathize very deeply with our neighbor in his loss. We congratulate Mr. Thos. Rit- chie on winning first prize in the field crop competition in con- nection with South Grey Agricul- tural Society. The second, third, and fourth prizes were won res- pectively by Jos. Atkinson, Wm. Weir, and Dan, Edge. Not so bad for this corner of old Glenelg, as these four gentlemen live within a distance of two miles. On Wednesday morning last. about nine o‘clock. a light thun- derstorm passed over this part. but one bolt unfortunately struck the fine bank barn of Mr. Henry Williams, and set it on fire. Mr. Williams had just gone for a load of oats, possibly one hundred rods distant, when the crash came. He hastened to the barn, and assisted by several neighbors first on the scene, endeavored to extinguish the blaze. However, all efforts to quench the .fire proved futile and Mr. and Mrs. John Ritchie, of Port Arthur, are visiting Mr. Ritchie’s brothers, William and George, and other relatives and friends in this vicinity. Mrs. Alex. Firth, of Orangeville, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Robert Edge. Mr. and Mrs. John Firth. and Miss Clara Greenwood. attended the funeral of the late Mr. Gardin- er, Mt. Forest, on Monday. Mr. W. H. .Moffat, of Narva. drove out to this neighborhood on Thursday. Mrs. Moffat accompan- ied him home on Friday. Mr. and Mrs. J.W Firth are \isâ€" iting f1 lends in Owen Sound We congratulate Mr. J.W. Green- wood on successfully attaining en- trance to Normal standing. Mrs. Geo. Firth. of Jessopville. is visiting among the Ritchie fam- ilies. Miss Mary Edge is spending this Week with )friends in Owen Sound and An'nann Miss Eliza Williams is spending some time with friends in Strat- ford. Mr. Robertson, 01f G-oderich. spent a few days last week with his friend, Mr. J.W. Firth. Mr. Thos. Collier left on the first .harvesters’ excursion -to the West. * EDGE HILL It was by a fortune I never de- served, that I went through the mill of pioneering in the West between 1885 and 1891, and that, after fourteen years’ absence I came back, journeyed for three months all over the country, and finally settled in Toronto; and that in six years I have travelled a hundred and forty thousand miles be- tween Halifax ,and Victoria. or deliberate choice, then, I brought my family to Canada. They do not want to go back to the land of their birth. We do not speak of England as “home." This is our home. We want no other. Our settlement has been consecrated by the advent of a little Canadian-born girl, who began life sturdier in body than either of her gaters. Slit» xviil be ab’e to sing of anada as im- marine land. 1 am glad. of it. You see. we combln. the British~born and the .‘Iati'.'c»born. And behold it is goodâ€"very good. Will you forgive me if I state the simple truth that a great deal of Can- adian pride is nourished on a little knowledge of Canada. We can’t all know the country, because it every- body travelled all the time there would be a standstill to industries on which the country. prospers. That means that there is something of a responsibility upon those who have seen much of the country to help the less fortunate to realize what a noble country it is, and what a wonderful future it may make its own. They know not England who only England know. They know not Can- ada who only their province know. The Englishman who finds himself, say, in Southern Saskatchewan, for a year or two, and who visits the Old Country, says, “In Canada they do this and that.” He will describe an ox harness, for instance. He does not know that in Nova Scotia they strap a yoke tight to the oxen’s horns; and they also shoe each ox with eight iron shoes. To him the little bit of Canada he has seen is the whole of Canada. Two.â€"l am a Canadian because I know Canada. You asked us to come. The Govern- ment has spent millions and minions of dollars in inducing British-born people to forsake friends and homes and traditions and places consecrated by sacred dust, and help to build, up Canada. The Dominion has become prosperous because the immigrant, the chirper, as well as the capitalist, has arrived. Never forget, brother, that he was besought to come by you, through such people as Lord Strath- cona and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. These great men have looked for assets for Canada; for an impetus to your pros- perity. Be gentle in your attitude to the people who come from the same land that your ancestors came from. Let patience have her perfect work in you, in them. Ask yourself how you would get along if you were dumped into a Yorkshire manufacturing town and sent to work in a mill. and ex- pected to become a Yorkshireman in five or six days. I know a man who has become as keen a Canadian as I have, who, with his wife. began life in Ontario on a farm. They are good people, who do good to others and who are already better off than they ever hoped to be in England. They left the farm be- cause they were continually subjected i'o nagging about their nationality. For the sins of others they were called “chirpers” and other names. We need not envy you, the native born; you need not envy us, the Bri- tish-born. We are meet for one an- other, to conspire to make Canada as great in reputation as she is great in extent. And so it becomes you to in- quire why I am a Canadian and to think well upon my two answers. One. â€"Because you asked me to be a Canadian.‘ I hope to be quite humble in ex-. panding this answer, because I’ve had worthy people come to me and say,; 'fWe have found that British people' are not welcomed here,” and because I want to speak the truth in love.- Personally I have never felt the slight-Z est sense of not being welcome in-: Canada. Many years ago I moved from‘ the South to the North of England, and I felt ever so much more a stran-' ger north of the Trent than I have: ever felt north of the St. Lawrence. Very thankfully I testify that never since I landed at. Quebec, twenty-six‘ years ago, have I said a word against conditions in Canada. Never a word has been said to me personally that I could resent. But there are others. There is a glory of the native bornâ€" the thrill that passes through your heart and down your spine when the sacramental element of your nativity makes its subtle, compelling appeal no your mind. I know what it is; but not in Canada. If you have it, cherish it; be exceeding glad when it comes to you. Pass it on. To us who enjoy only the bless- ing of adoption, who have given our native land a second place in our affections, is there even a glory for us in Canada? Can youâ€"the native born â€"tell what it is? You can’t, because you haven't had our experience. Arid the chief captain answered, With a, meat sum obtained I this free- dom And Paul said, BUT I W'AS FREE BORN "iii-rnxthcs; there a man with soul so (it"dd Who never to himself hgth said: This is my own. my native land!" Listen again :â€" The centurion told the chief cagtain, laying. Take heed what thou oest, for this man is a Roman. Then the chief captain came and said unto him. Tell me, are thou 21 R0- man?
