Drlifficdonald in his reply said there
are times in a person's life when it is
difficult to speak. The heart is 80 filled
that one cannot give expresidon to his
sentiments. What could he say to all
the kindness shown him and all the
expressions of friendship. What lan-
guage could he come:land to give titter.
anoe to his thanks. He was not the
great ,man the words of the speakers
had indicated, but he knew the speeches
were from the heart. He had been with
the people of Wingham for a long time
and now stood as an old tree among a
second growth. Very few were now
residents who were there when he came
in 1872 and he could only recall some
six people who were residents of Wing -
ham proper, 'vizi-Mr. and Mrs, H.
Davis. Mr. and Mrs. b`. H. Roderns,
Wm. Moore and Wm. Snell. He came in
as a stranger ond never thought he would
stay, as Wingham was then a mere
hamlet of less than 200 people and was
not incorporated. The only business
places were on Viotoria street. There
were only four houses on the east side of
Josephine street and where St. Paul's
Reotory now stands the forest had just
been chopped. When he located north of
John street people said he was going out
of the town. He took an active interest
in seeing Wingham incorporated as a
village in 1874 and was ably assisted by
Benj. Wilton, H. Davis, Thos. Gregory
and Dr. Tamlyn. We then had no
sidewalks and now we have 26 miles of
the very best of walks. The first muni-
cipal counoil had nothing to start with.
In 1877 there was a big fire, whioh
swept everything from the Queen's
hotel to the Beaver block. Then water-
works oame in 1878 and it has saved and
earned itself ten times over. The
original cost was $8,000 and the same
work now would cost three times that
amount. Next we found our school
building would not accommodate the
children and the present public) school

town. He was honored with every
position in the gift of the townspeople
and from 1887 to 1904 represented East
Huron in the House of Commons and
during the last term was honored with
the responsible position of Deputy
Speaker. He was always to the front

The 'citizens felt the town was to be
something as we had a good surround-
ing district and must do something for
the farmer. We had no communication
with the outside world except by stage
to Clinton and in the spring of the year
passengers and mail had to be bronghs
in over "the prairie" on boats. Here
the doctor gave a history of the way in
which railway oonneotion was secured
for Wingham. The coming of the rail-
ways made trade good. Peter Fisher
had a well-equipped mill in Lower
Wingham that was making 20,000 bar-
rels of flour per year and Thos. Gregory
in the tipper mill was making .500 to 600
barrels per day and in 1884 some 40,000
barrels of flour was shipped from Wing -
ham. In those days this was a wheat
growing district. In 1882 some $150,000
was paid for dressed pork on the Wing -
ham market. In 1878 the place was in-
oorporated as a town with 2070 people.
There were two factions in the matter
of incorporation. Some wanted to take
in a portion of Lower Wingham. Benj.
Wilson was the first Mayor, the doctor
the first Reeve. In 1881 the doctor was
Mayor and retired from municipal poli-
tics at the end of that year as his prao-
tioe demanded all his time. His one
contention was that SiTingham should
have had a high school years ago and he
was glad we now hid an institution of
thia kind. The dootor spoke on the vast
importance of education, saying that
one would be a better man morally,
physically and religiously with educa-
tion, and without education the physical
power of this nation would be nil. One
of the firat things in going to a new
town was to notice its shade trees, giv-
ing the town a beautiful appearanee,
