"The melancholy days have come, the saddest of the year." _ When we look at the trees, almost stripped of their leaves, which were a short time ago resplendent with color, most beautiful and pleasing to the eye. We are rem‘sded that we do "fade.as a leaf" and fall to the ground from whence we came. _ The falling snow a token of the approaching winter, bids us prepare for what we know will surely come. The Autumn has been such a very fine one that it made everyone want to be out of doors, and gave the farmers such a good chanee to gather in the roots and get fall plowing done. We hope we may have a few more weeks yet before the cold blasts begin to blow. Mrs Tyndall, Holstein visited her brother here over Sunday. Miss L.

Sharpe Continues His Iinterestâ€" ing Story of Pioneer Days This week we continue our re marks on "Pionses Days." In last week‘s issue we omitted lot 38 con 2 row owned by Mr David Allan. In the settlement in this and other vicinâ€" ities the Government controlled the front fifty acres, the fifty acres being reserved. Hence a roadway two rods wide was reserved for those taking up the back fifty acres. The front fifty acres of this farm was taken up by one Abner Hilts in 1852. For five years the crown deed for the back‘ fifty acres was granted to one Elisha Allan. In 1854 Abner Hilts scld out to James Brown, who, the same year, sold out to Elisha Allan and in 1§56 Elisha Allan sold to John B. Shields, who in 1874 deeded it to John S. Shields. In 1882 J. S. Shields sold to Wm. Tremble. In 1883 Wm Tremble sold to David Allan Sr. in 1907 the present owner got possession. . Mr. David Allan very kindly furnished an abstract of titles to said lot. ONTARIO ARC TORONTO Last week we referred to iot 41 con 2, being solid by Jas. Brown to John Main. It was the custom in early days for some young men handy with the axe to take the job of "chopping" from those who wished the work done in that way. Mr John Main let the job of "chopping" to one Mona Schell. Mr. Schell was struck by a falling tree and although he lived for many years afterwards he was never able to work again. Lot 41 con 3 was taken up by Robt. Brown, son of Adam Brown Sr. It was the custom in those days to build a temporary straw shed at the side of the log narn. Mr Brown had done this and as his children were playing in the vicinity of the shed it suddenâ€" ly collapsed and one of the children, a little girl, was killed instantly. Lot 42 con 3 was taken up by Pat rick Haley and afterwards sold to Wm. Burrows. Lot 43 con 3 was alâ€" so taken up by Mr Haley. Lot 42 con 2 was taken up by Adam Brown Sr. in 1846. He probably was the first settler. In 1847 Andrew Swanston settled on lot 43 con 2 and remained there during his natural life. Patrick Taylor was the pioneer settler on lot 4 con 2, in a few years selling one to the late Ira Pennock. One John Blaney was the first to ocupy lot 45 con 2. He sold out to Smith Seaman Sr. One Patrick Malâ€" oy settled on lot 46 con 2 and he sold out to the late John O‘Connell. _ It is still in the hands of the O‘Connell family. It was on this farm that one Jas. Maloy was interred, there being no burying ground. The spot was marked by a picket fence, the fence decayed but a small tree marked the place. This is also gone and now nothing marks the spot where he lies. Adam Hilts Sr. first owned and ocâ€" cupied lot 48 con 2. One Joshua Reid settled on lot 49, the land on the opposits side of the road being owned Mr Reid‘s brother. This Mr Reid took a very active part in "protracted meetings" and hence was a prominent figure in prayer and testimony in such meetings. The â€"first meeting house in this vicinity was erected on Lot 43 con 3 was first occupied by Patrick Haley. Mrs Haley was inâ€" stantly killed by being struck by a freight car when the railroad was being built in 1880. Lots 44 and 45 it is said were owned by one John Travyâ€" is. Phinton and Jas McAvoy owning lots 46 and 47, con 3. Lot 47 con 2 was taken up by one Gabriel Spence who sold out to Mr Lumley, who in turn sold to Jas. Sharpe. The farm is now owned by Wm M. Burrows. Pioneer Days Recalled Enjoy the songs and music and other things like that : â€" And looking to the coming years it is my firm belief, We‘ll continue as in days gone by to get our share of beef. The President and Treasurer you‘d think they should be fat After feasting all the summer on such good meat as that : If they‘d been used like Thompson with nothing but the hide, Ere this they‘d be up yonder beyond the swelling tide. For the meat it was so tender that it melted in your mouth, Aund it scarcely needed chewing as it went its way down south : And each member got acquainted with all the different parts For Thompson gave each one his share of shanks and heads and hearts. Oh, the odour of the frying steak aâ€"floating on the air Brought forth appreciative smiles from workers everywhere : All through the lovely summer day and on irto the fall, They lost no time in thinking when they hcard the dinner call. For they smelt the gravy frying and they knew it would be brown, Ard the good old kitchen table would be fairly breaking down : With its load of beef and gravy, onions, lettuce and tomatoes, Bread and butter, tea and syrup, beans and hot potatoes. Some old ladies and old gents, whose molars are decayed, At a fair sized chunk of our own beef, they never were dismayed: W hether they chewed or gummed it, there wasn‘t any waste, And it tickled so the palates with its sweet and pleasant taste. Will Thompson was our butcher and he took a certain pride, In dressing up the carcass and peeling off the hide : He cut the meat all up in shares, â€"no wonder Thompson‘s thin For he shared it all among us and only kept the skin. We started up our beef ring in the sunny month of June, When Summer bade good bye to Spring and sang a merry tune Wher. songs of birds were mingled with the humming of the bees And little children gaily played beneath the shady trees. Many events take place in June, some great ones and some small And some things we were looking for we didn‘t get at all : Bu+ after that dayâ€"the 25th, it was a great relief, To know there was still to us, our usual share of beef. Composed for and read at the annual Beef Ring Social held at the home of Mr. John Rice, Holstein, now we‘ve gathered here toâ€"night to have a social chat, The 12th Concession Beef Ring A telephone message OD Sunday morning Was received by your humble scribe conveying the sad news of the death following an operation for ap pendicitis of Freda, youngest child of Mr. and Mrs Robt J. Noble, (nee Grace Mellvride) of Guelph, a little maid of six summers, the first death in a family of seven.

A may pole drill is worthy of special mention, composed of a dozen or more scholars. Also two dialogues by S. S. No. 14 scholâ€" ars. _ "Getting Office Help," acted by Norman Mcllivride and Geordie Schenk was very naturally carried out and ably acted and was easily the most amusing number and the other diaâ€" logue " A cure for neuralgia," acted ; by Miss Myrtle Park, Miss Merle !Bauer, Miss Maggie Lewis and the | teacher, Miss Wilson, also Willie | Park and Kenneth Mcllvride, was alâ€" | so well acted and reflects much creâ€" | dit on Miss Wilson who only had five | days to drill the scholars. Whole hearted, true hearted Mr. Wm. Ramage was present and assistâ€" ed by Mr Jas. Watson, sang "Larâ€" board Watch" but whether some lady winked her eye at the former menâ€" tioned or not will never be known : at all events he lost his bearings to the amusement of the crowd who laughed and were very spurious in their enâ€" core, which had a very small tendenâ€" cy to help his dazzling eyes, but nothâ€" ing daunted the veteran choir leader of 45 years service righted himself and also sang two other songs very creditably. Pastor Burnett occupied the chair and had a complete walk ovâ€" er so far as maintaining order was concerned, which was perfect throughâ€" out. # passed Church The proceeds at the door were $24, 50, with all the scholars admitted free. The chief credit for the success of the entertainment is due largely to Miss Byers and the two local school teachers, Miss Thuell of No. 1 and Miss Wilson of No. 14, who sacâ€" rificed both time and energy to make it a success. The choir also sang two or three selections very excellentâ€" ly. _ After the singing of the National Anthem, a very sumptuous lunch was served and another milestone was BLYTH‘S CORNERS there in the history of old Knox â€"John A.

In that particular section which is 18 miles from Brandon, the best yield of wheat was 17 bushels to the acre and the average about 10, possibly 11 bushels. The straw was so dark 1 couldn‘t tell this year‘s stacks from last year‘s. Things aren‘t good in Manitoba. I know a farmer that sold a good cow for $15â€"anothâ€" er cow and calf for $25. These may be exceptions.

On the same car was a youngk woman I had known well when 1 taught at Kinloss in Bruce Co. 1 was very lucky about meeting people 1 had known before.
