Special Prices in Hosiery And m giying some ot the names of those gene we hope to a better coun- try) We will commence down the old Durham Road and here on calling we I found an old resident gone, Mr Thos. ( Gray, who died during the past year. Mr Gray was one of the old pioneers, being a resident of the Durham ltd. tor over 60 years. Just along side of Gray's another old resident passed away last fall in the person of John Stewart. He was ever 82 years. Up the Glen another old familiar form was missing in the person of Mr Win Jackson who was widely known being OVer 80 years too. Up farther the Stonehouse family was bereft by a father being taken away in his 70th year and was a resident of Glenelg ‘for nearly 60 years. Going up Con 2 1E G' B, there the home of Mr and Mrs {John Staples were left lonely by their only son, a fine young man. being taken away since we were there one year ago. Dowu south the once com. fortable home of Mr and Mrs S Ilitelr ie is desolate. Mr Ritchie was killed last summer and Mrs Ritchie and faintly moved to Durham. Away up north an old "sident was found missing this} you in the person of Isainh Meiosh. hit Meloah was one of the pioneers oi Glenelg and was in his 78th year. On tho south lino Mrs Moore and Mr: Watson pn- sed way since a you :30. The home of the late John Bell IS ssdly deprived of the head of the household. He was taken awoy m the prime of life aged 48 years. Going over toward: Markdale there are missing a few of the old pioneers. Mr Wm Armstrong and Thee Camp. bell were the fiat two gentleman that settled " Markdele over 60 years age and now they are no more, only their memory holds green te thoae bereft. Over across the line to con 2 3. w., T , S R, there another middle aged lady passed away during the last 12 monthe in the person of Mrs. Chan. Tibbit. aged about 60 years, while ‘on the 10th. old Mr Hall, aged 80 l years. paeeed over to the great be. Fri during the last year. There lwas a lonely house left vacant on con 6 by the death of the unfortunate Joe I Colbert who waa killed by the tram. Mrs Penn. a venerable lady, mother ‘of Councillor Peart. died during the iwmter aged about 78 years and acme name we cannot think of at this time. i In calling in many placer we found ' a number of familiar residents mining lar, left during the yes! for other lperte of the world fn hopes of making (the neceeseriee required to curry them through on life’s journey more plen. tiful, We do not mean to "r that more thet left did no became they were obliged to do so for olten the use it wee those thet were in comfor- lteble circumetunoes in this put that left end they were the one! that had lthe manna give them egood amt in the new country. Bat there you THE DURHAM REVIEW ONTARIO "ji"iie"iiiii)"E"?ihi TORONTO A few odd sizes in Next Door to Standard Bank unfortunate ones whose lot was cast on poor farms are obliged to stay there till something better may turn) up in the future which may not yet be vmble to the naked em as probab- ly its quite I distance into the future and requires an extra good pair of spectacles to the men that has passed the meridian of lite to see or to rea~ [we the expected gem to be reality. Among those missing wholelt for the western countries we found the comfortable home of the late Been E. W. Hunt vecent (but since occu- pied hy the purchaser Mr Peert.) We often found shelter under Mr Hunt's roof m years gone by and was kindly entertained by Mr and Mrs Hunt. Down below Zion another usefuli and well-to do gentlemen and lamilyl were missing in the person of W. In: Falkingham. Zion congregation suf l tered greatly by the removal of these) two gentlemen. viz ; Hunt and Falk. a ingliam from their midst. On con 2 E Cr It Chas Vaughan and family leftl for the West being residents in the vicinity of Glenroaden. Coming upl to Bunessan. Durham lid, Ira Poml nook and Isaac Poole are gone, then l Donald McCormick. a long and Well hnown resident leit last spring to take up his abode m the far west. Mr Me. Cormick Wlll be greatly missed as he took great interest in church matters and the Sunday School at Glenelg Centre where he was superintendent for a long time. Din MoInnee " though not gone to the west intends to sever his connection with the old Township of Glenelg in the near fu- l ture. Mr Mclnnee like Mr McCor- ‘ mick took great delight in supporting the church be belonged to and the Presbyterian church. l’riccville. loses one ofits best members in all respects as the church report shows that he is about the top of the list in giving to all the calls asked for. Mr Melnnes and sisters intend living in Toronto for a while. Then were " Johnnie McKeohme. another Old Durham Road boy left for other parts of the county of Grey to Thombury where he has bought a farm. He rented his farm near Priceville to John McMaokin. There are many others but they will excuse us this time. Amongst the oldest rstepsyers on the assessment roll are Owen Callagh- han of the 12th con who it is said to be in his 100th year. Mr Callaghan is quite childish on account of old age. Mrs Edge, mother of our worthy treasurer, is 97 years old and she still keeps her name or. the assess- ment roll. Mrs Edge saw the Wilder. ness of nearly 70 years ago blossom as the rose as those beautiful fields of her son Dan can testify to the truth. fulness of this statement. also of her late son Robert whose fine fields and tall shade trees tell of olden dsys end of the wisdom of those gone in set- ting up " monuments than tall trees trees which stand as mementoes of the days gone by. Over east is the residence of the late James Edge. Mrs Edge is yet quite smut although 84 ysenrof sgs._ - - Over on the Germ-en Rd. u Mrs. Turnbull, mother of MI Thos Tarn- bull. She in bedfaet for the last. 8 years and is carefully attended to by her daughter-in-lew. Mrs Turnbull is 88 years and " we woke the old language to her she seemed so pleu- ed to beer the languege of her young- er den. Mn Turnbull, J r, will receive her reward for her good utendenoe to the helpless old Indy. In McLellan, St. in back to the old home gain. north line. where she is comforubly kept by he: dsaghter and hubs-d who in on tho tum. Mrs. McLellen Sr is " year: of use and can tell of olden timee when living at eideroad 40 eon 2, N. D. B. when all the bridge: the and the rest of her flther‘e temily had to contend with was a big cedar tree lellen across the Sangeen river and when the spring ireehete came the bridge would be all gone. But fortunately cedar me- were more plentiful than nowadays and another bridge would soon be put eoroee. But by the my not by Councillor John A McMillan for he was only a small boy and probably all he could do at thie season of the year was to go to the river to fish. Talk of hard times nowadays ! Mrs. McLellan helped to carry all their provision across on these temporary bridges and we will venture to say that the young girl of 22 years to-day would consider it an impossibility for her to do. But these are facts as Mrs Meliellan can tell the same old story yet. There is I great falling off in the number of names on the sssessment roll this you “using the loss of a Dsputy reeve m 1914. tio min)- deaths and so many left tor the West and then 1 lot of girls changed their names since lust year and was not eligible this year. However we hope they made a better change. In lie. ligion we lound pretty much as last year-Presbyterian' takes the lead and Cnthollcs second. Methodist: 3rd, Baptists 4th. Church of England 5tlt, Latter Day Saint l individuai. Sur- ely the old township of Glenelg has |more saints in reality than one. A few new buildings were put up dur. I' ing 1912 and sometimes we think it too bad assessing those people for their ll hard labor in getting all the necessar- t1 lea required in building .in readiness. I There are some preparing to put " ii new residences this summer. We saw ' a big pile of brick " Colin McArthur's F " Waudby. ready to put on the stone d 'cellar he put up last year, Colin is I one of those good fellows who never makes a kick if at is put in some extras. , but he put up long enough with old log , building and we hope he will enjoy his new house well. On the other side of l the road John Ellison Jr was preparing the timber for an addition to his barn, so it doesn't look as if the crops were going to be short this year. It was a good act of the Government in pioneer ldays away back when they abolished [assessing stock as it caused agreat deal of the truth told since. As for instance a man having one span of horses, iii they carried the harness) and a cow would be taken in for MOO. and often the case very few farmers that had oth. er atock could be taken in another 8100 and so on. We remember some years l ago sway back when those that are old now were younger, being assessor and l we came to the residence of a good i honest son of Erin's Isle and asked him how many sheep he had. He hesitated l a little ;"Well I have six." But a little F boy, a grandson was listening and said, "oh Grandpa we have 12." "och you . little devil you, what's your business b to be talking It" So we do not know alwhieh was the worst ; the little boy in- '; nocently told the truth while Grandpa . was trying keep back some of the price. a The Council has power to change the time of year for making the assessment, ' i. e., coming not later than 15th of Feb- Y ruary and linishing lat of May. Could [there bc any worse time of the year 1 than the time the work is performed in the most of the township? It is op- Y tional to make the assessment begin- ' ning on Sept, l5 and ending on Nov lst. , Then a person would see what he is i e doing for at this season the work is _ done. If there was a price to be put on i . snowbanks then it would be allright. 2 However the snow covers the stones 't and if the farmer declares his place is e stony sometimes there is a doubt wheth- er its so or not, whereas if it was done il when all things could be seen in their .- natural state it would save a lot of n doubts. As it is done now the assessor ll has to commence his work on the 15th 9 of February if it was 30 below zero and ' snow up to his waist. We remember ' lst March last our good friend Arch. e McArthur drove us over to Zion line in 'g a blinding snowstorm. However know. g ing that Zion was a good place and it good people its residents and if we got l. stuck in a snow bank, the. houses are l loloaely ilike Jerusalem) built together sland we.would be sure to tlnd shelter. d However we made out all day although 1- the mercury ranged at night some " or " 20 below sero. Going back to Dornoch we found that the only hotel in Glenelg was closed up by the proprietor, Wm. O'Mara. He said he kept tavern for 35 years and now he thought it time to live a quiet life so instead of finding him behind the bar he accompanied us to the far end of his tarm where he was busily engaged in cutting wood. We crossed the street to Dr Smith's, not that we wen- ted medicine but the Dr has I 50 acre lot on Gl.enelg side “hich he highly grins for tta convenience for pasture. he Dr. at that "alone" away atten ding patients mostly night and day. Some mom of the old pioneers living yet are John McPhlil. south east Glen- elg, who is 86 years this fall and quite smart Ind active yet ; Alex Martin, con 6, over 80 but getting frail ; Malcolm Campbell con 6, about so, but is quite healthy for his ycars; John Manchlan north line, over 80 and is quite smart and enjoys reading the Review and Oban Times and the Globe '. Jno Elli- son Sr, Glenroaden, over 80 and is in good sound health et. Alittlc north is the residence of Bonnld McKechnie. who is also climbing up in yeara and where we always find shelter when the shades of evening draw nigh. Mrs Mg. Kechnie is one of those good hearted highland ladies that always knows what a poor fellow traveller needs to make hlm comfortable. Away up in Glenroaden, the old Mc. Kechnie sawmill is standing yet with the finest water privilege in Ontario, and as we stood on the bridge below we thought it a pity to hove such privi. leges at a standstill. But there is hope that Messrs McKechnie may utillze it for some purpose yet. In years gone by the road would be lined with teams drawing lumber and other etuiT to Dur. ham from thin mill at thin season of the year. _.-. . - . . cm bocurol br the meat trait kidney uud luer "Indy.
