Mr. Binnie was a man who took .a deep interest in his township. A man of many talents he was sought after for many positions which he filled with credit to himself and honor to his municipality. For a number of years he was a trustee, and for a time secretary of the Bunessan school, was a member of the council for a number of years, and in 1893 was Warden of the county, being ' the last from Glenelg to hold that position.

Changing business conditions, and the misfortune of having their mill des- troyed by fire saw them relinquish their milling interests with the exception of the grist mill in Durham, which they conducted up to about 20 years ago. The late Mr. McKechnie was also prominent in municipal and political aflairs. He served on the Durham Council for years and also represented this municipality at the county council as reeve, and at one time was the chair- man of the finance committee of the county. In the early nineties, and on the death of J. H. Hunter, M.P.P., he successfully contested South Grey in the Liberal interests, defeating the re- presentative of the Patrons of Industry. Besides his own business interests Mr. McKechnie found time to devote his interests in a municipal way. He was one of those responsible for the building of the railroad from Palmer- ston to Durham in 1878, and was the president of the board of nine men who built the road and later sold it to the Grand Trunk Railway Company. The road was completed in 1881. when the first train was brought in with the late George Blackburn at the throttle, we have been told.
