Is the country not going road crazy with such an outâ€" lay? To those who are living nea: by to get the benefit of them it may not seem so bad. With low prics prevailing for farm products, they will require to go slow, oz their names will be Dennis at the next election. To us in the northern zone, the purâ€" chase of the old cement track is a real bonanza. We can‘t imagine how some could be so small as to oppose it, when w6 have got so little :n times past. What is the matter with the Townâ€" ship Plowing Match spoken of? The real test of a good plowman tho‘, we think, is one who can plow among. stones, seen and unseen, and not ve called upon to murder the king‘s English, or use words not fit fos this page. Messrs A. Schenk and F. Schaus of Ayton, were in the village on Tuesâ€" day. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Fenton had as guests the first of the week, Mr. and Ms. Richard Fenton of Port Elgin.

He was conveyed to the home of his brother Thos., neasy Droâ€" more where he will have an enforcea holiday. The Thanksgiving collection on Sunday a week ago, amounted to $107. Another _ special â€" collection was held yesterday which was also good, this for the W.M.S. thankâ€" offering. The service was taken by Mrs (Rev.) Lemon of Clifford, who spokeverynicelyo n the aims and ow jects and performances of the Socieâ€" ty with some 88,000 members. An enjoyable social evening was again held in the basement of Amos Church on Tuesday evening last by the young people of the C.E.

God Save the King closed the meetâ€" ing. Mrs. Jno. Garson has the sympaâ€" thy of Holstein friends, over tne death of her mother, Mrs. Inkster, near Collingwood, at the advanced age of 93 years. Owing to poor health Mrs. Garson was not able to attend the funeral. The marriage of Miss Alice Swansâ€" ton, daughter of Mrs. Jas. Swanston, Egvzemont, to Mr. Herbert C. Ironside took place in Calgary on Oct. 31st. The bride was one of Canada‘s nursâ€" ing sisters on service in France durâ€" ing the war, and spent part of last winter with her mother and relatives in Egremont. They will reside in Calgary. Master Russell Kelly has returned home from,.Fergus hospital and we are pleased to see him improving nicely. The Women‘s Institute concert as announced last week was held on Friday night last. Roberts Hall was filled. A program consisting of speeâ€" ches and music by the Holstein orâ€" chestra, male quartette : solo, Miss Blyth : duet, the Misses West.

This was won by Archie, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Walls, 0.S.R Mr Sharp was called upon to give an address appropriate to the occasion, while Miss Davidson pinned the medâ€" al on Archie‘s breast amid loud apâ€" plause.

HOLSTEIN LEADER LOCAL AND PERSONAL NORTH EGREMONT sOUTH BEND TORONTO He left Egremont for Tcwonto many years ago. Such is life. It is a pleasure to write that Lir. Jackson Reid was a man of great hospitality. He befriended© all the new settlers around him, took a lively intwsest in education, helped to buile the first schoolhouse, was elected one of the first Board of,. Trustees of S.5. No. 10. He was an officer in the M:iâ€" litia Corps and had military drill of our young men on his own farm. lie built the first steam sawmill here and was also Reeve of the Municipality, . and Miss Bella Lothian. Mr. J. G. Johnston . has still a week‘s threshing ahead of him, with his fine kerosene tractor threshing outfit. We were favored with a sight of its work the other day and it cerâ€" tainly is a satisfactory machine. All danger of frre from sparks is eliminaâ€" ted, requiring only two men to operâ€" ate, and could be used on the barn floor in a wet or stormy day if necâ€" essary. The coming power, is the verdict of most progressive farmers, no wood or water required . The interval of time between the two incidents, has been productive oi great activity in the commercial world In 1856 the Crimean war was raging. Gt. Britain and France were fighting the Russian bear in favor of Turkey. Contrast that with events in the near East toâ€"day. The German states at that time were not united for aggresâ€" sive warfare as they woere in 1914. The only air machine was the gas balloon. The developement of elecâ€"| tricity, which proved such a boon| when benighted in the swamp with a broken car axle, was but a dream of science. And there were no tanks of gasoline stored by the wayside to provide motor power for the traver ling public. Electricity and gasoline are toâ€"day pveater factors of power than "Buck and Bright" of the early days in Canada. The advance in agâ€", ricultural pursuits exceeds the fondâ€"| est hopes of the pioneer. Those who : have ‘been spared to reap the aGgâ€" vantages of a wellâ€"tilled farm toâ€"day,‘ have much to thank an allâ€"kind Provâ€"| idence for. _ Are we toâ€"day as bounâ€" tiful in our Thanksgiving and praise to Almighty God for His goodness to| us as our Creator? The wildngrness| of Canada now blossoms with sweetâ€"‘ ness as theâ€"rose. | In the fall and winter of 1854â€"55, many settlers moved into the new survey of the Township of Egremont Grey Co. Many of them had recently come from the motherland, others came from some of the older settle ments. Among those who settled in what is now known as Yeovil was a farmer from Peterborough Co. named Jackson Reid. He located on lots 10 and 11, Con. 13. He had experience in Canadian farming and was aiso well provided _ with the comforts of life. With hifh also came Mrs Reid‘s mother and her two sons, Robert and Thomas Hall, who settled on adjoinâ€" ing lots. F By placing the stoop sleigh along side and in rear of the front wheel 0; the car, the rear axle resting upon planks on the logging bunks, everyâ€" thing well chained together and a logging sleigh fastened to the point of the sleigh tongue as was the case with the oxen, we succeeded in getâ€" ting home quite comfortably about Z a. m., the car rolling along on three wheels with the headlight brightly burning. And in passing it might be well to relate that the first adult in this loâ€" cality to be removed by the grim ; reaper, was the good old lady Mrs.| Hall. Her son Robert was a shoeâ€"| maker and after a brief struggle with | pioneer life, left the farm and deâ€"; voted himself to his trade. Some of | the people in Mt. Forest will rememâ€" bew him. He carried on his trade in | the red brick house on the brow of | the hill, on the east side of Main St.‘ But I must be careful or this narâ€" rative will be lengthy. As I said beâ€" fore, Mr. Reid had more comforts than any other settler in this locality. He had a yoke of large black oxen that did the logging for all the nearâ€" by settlers. And a little incident that took place with them in the autumn of 1856 and an incident that occurred to a black automobile this fall, promâ€" ted the writer to pen these lines. There was nothing unusual in either of the incidents, but they surely mark the progress of art and science in the backwoods of Grey Co. One fine day in Oct, 1856, Mr. Reid with nis big black oxen and a long bench sleigh, attempted to move some building maâ€" terial to a settler on the 12th con. A track was cut through the woods, wherever the easiest made and the swamps were traversed by the shortâ€" est route. In plodding through the swamsp, immediately in front of Mr. Reid‘s clewwing, the oxen got stuck in the mud, literally and figuratively, and could go no further. They were unhitched but still no progress. Mr. Reid then unyoked them, but alas, the mire was too deep. With a littie help the ‘nigh‘ ox estricated himself, but the off one could not make his exit, _ Mr . Reid then cut down a small tree, trimmed it, pointed the large end, put it down in the mud unâ€" der the Lreast of the ox, using it as a lever to raise buck out of the mud. He succeeded. was travelling on the highway thre this same swamp in an automobiie, The rear axle of the car broke sucâ€" denly and it very forcibly reminded me of the incident of 66 years ago. How was the car to get home? The thought came into my mind that a sleigh would be the proper means to use. So after directing my son what to do, 1 awaited his return with a sloop sleigh, horses, chains, levers,&c We were about two miles from home, fortunately the electric light of the car failed not, and in due time a weli equipped outfit arrived about midâ€" night. The next move was to get them together to be yoked: Fortunately the logging chain was of good length ana by hooking it to the point of the sleigh tongue, Mr. Reid was able io get the sleigh to terra firma. A iew wooks ago the boy who was with Mr. Reid in the autumn of 1856, A Coâ€"incidence : 1856â€"1922 " THE PEOPLES MILLS 2 eeelp del oa ole e ele ola de " c ce ols aie" on ahe wle‘ sla e velp uie vales elen o« oi rate uin on A Big Bar of Good Soapâ€"Bright, solid sorp with fine lathcring and cleansing qualities for the family wash and houschold use.
