This is the time of year that the majority of the people of the world are privileged to Lave a family reâ€" union. The sons and daughters whose daily calling causes them to be absent from the old home during the year in some disiant part of the country, rejoices now at the thought that they are permitted to go to their \leveul bhomes to enjoy themselves :t a Xmas and New Year festivity with their good fathers and mothers an d the rest of the family, but in many a home some one is missing on this Xmas and New Years day. The father, the motber, the sister, brothâ€" er, wife or husband, as the case may be, were called away since the beginâ€" ning of tue dying year and it is hoped toat they are enjoying a Higher feas‘ than the world‘s grandest. spread could prepare. _ In giving a look s | round this viemty for the purpose of enumcrating the names of those who were adorning the festive table at last Xmas and New Year, we find the following missing, Mrs Arch. Meâ€" Unarg died second week in Janurry. Donald Gullies first week in January, Hector McLean, south line, about the last of January, Miss Mary MeDonâ€" ald died in March, John MeKinnon on August 2ud, Godfrey McTaggari in July, John Camptell, of 8Swinton Park on July 15th, Timothy Ryan last summer, Thog.

Of the above number two had reached the age of 90 years, being Mr Johr Campbell of Swinton Park, and Mr Fimothy Ryan of Irish Lake, while a tew hbad reached the fourscore and some sixty, seventy and seyentyâ€"fve years and some at forty and thirty five and a young rean at 22, but th« memory of these good people will soon be forgotten by the liying. 8o we go back again and recall to memâ€" ory some of the old time festivities at | Xmas and New Years. A droll old highignder was describâ€" ing the good tnings buis good 01"} mother had prepared for a New Year‘s dinner in the early part of the fiiues, when a few of the neighbors of that time were asked to partake. _ Oi course it sounds better to tell it in bhis own language when boasting of the good qualities of the big bannaocks and smaull ones and the butter‘s good qualities, he said, Rinn mo mhathair vor mor do bbonnich mbora agus dun mor do bhonnich bbeaga le im a bha iri daithean an buidh gheal agus dearg agus cha daig rmad biadh leanâ€" naibh teag nuair a bha iad raadh or in English, « my good old motker made a heap of big bannocks and a pile of small ones with butter that had 8 colors, red, white and yellow, and when they were done eating they didn‘t leave as much as would feed a child. It speaks well of the appetites of those partaking. Bo we see that the course lood of ye olden times was as well relished as the best of finery on this Xmas and New Year‘s day. Phere were no complaints of having dispeptic astacks in those days. The vroanings of the Xmas and New Year tables at this season of the year are tempting and those poor weak stomâ€" achs who induige in taking all sorts of stuff, sufter afterwards and we often hear the remark, " O I ate too much turkey, too much plurmm pucding the Xmas eake was so delicious that I coulda t resist the temptation of eating a big priece of it and then I suffered, and then those beautiful cakes, pies and whatnot, Bo that my poor stomach was upset for a long uime after pariaking, and after ail there is a yielding to temptation to eat again of the same kind of refinery. About forty or fifty years ago a colored man living a little wess of Priceyille was asked by some of his colored fmends to a Xmas dinner (now the colored women are hard to excel as cooks) and on this occasion chey bad prepared a sumptuous dinâ€" ner of the best in those days, A large turkey well and deliciously done up was on the table, so the old darkey ate of the food till his stomach was nearly bursting and in less than a month hbe died from the effects of eating too much of the good Xmas dinner, So that teaches us to be temperate in all things. The old darkey often took a big spree but ueyer lailled him tull be ate too much turkey. This 1s a fact, the poor old darkey‘s bones are resting in a fence corner on Councillor Nichol‘s farm. The A. 0. U. W. concert held in Watsou‘s hball, Priceville, on the 2204 Dee. was quite a sucsess. Disap pointment was felt that Grand Master Nichol of Ingersoll, was unable to be present as was expected. However Deruty District Grand Master Henry filled the bill. The entertainere, the Haw brothers orchestra and Bert Harvey & Co did their part well. The A, 0. U. W. ba i 8500 new members added to the number in 1909, Proâ€" ce«ds of the evening $33, expenditure 8830 we are told.
