A Winghamite just returned from a trip to the Maritime Provinces gives us the follow- ing account of a visit to a very old house in Nova Scotia. With a friend from Truro, N.S., he drove out to a small village on Cobiquid Bay to see an old ab- andoned house. "It was quite a mansion in its time of some 75 or more years ago with its three storeys and ten bedrooms, several with fireplaces. The exterior, through years of neglect, was badly dilapidated, outside doors and windows all gone but the interior, by contrast, was still quite sound---the stair- cases remarkably so, with the moulded handrail and banisters of cherry wood in excellent condition. The interior doors of a four panel design were ob- viously hand made, the tenons going full through the mortise;, then wedged. C. Lloyd & Son used a similar joint method in the latter part of the last cen- tury. "There was no furnishings of any kind in the house and one can only fondly imagine the interesting furniture that would grace the home of its time. It would be interesting to know something of the substantial family that once lived there, certainly no one, now, if con- nected, appears to take any interest whatsoever. The grounds are wildly overgrown with weeds and underbrush to give it a "jungle-like" appear- ance. Perhaps the family after living there some years "went to the city" -- meaning Boston. New England has a great many adopted Canadian Maritimers. "One of the idiosyncrasies of the owners was their habit of storing up old newspapers and magazines for many years. In a third floor bedroom were lit- erally thousands of periodicals dating back to 1890. I retriev- ed several pieces; -- a Septem- ber 1900 issue of "Everywhere" monthly, annual subscription fifty cents; an August 1.902 edi- tion of the Halifax Herald con- taining ads for men's suits of fine homespun, made to order, $12.00, nut coal at $3.70 per ton delivered, and the C.P. R. advertised 20,000 farm labor- ers wanted for harvesting in Manitoba, going rail fare $10 from Halifax. " A 96-p.age magazine, The Metal Worker, a weekly trade journal for the stove and plumb- ing trade, is dated Dec. 8, 1894, containing some pages on oil lamps for house lighting. A 1914 issue of Canadian Farm had an ad "Western Canada of- fers you 150,000 FREE home- steads along the lines of the Canadian Northern Railway". Gorrie Bishop H. F. G. Appleyard, Kitchener, will be at St. Steph- en's Anglican Church on Sun- day, Nov. 13 at 8 p.m. for confirmation service. No morn- ing service will be held. Mr. and Mrs. Glen Black, Hamilton, spent a few days with Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Ed- gar. Bluevale Mr. and Mrs. Jack Murch of Clinton were Friday evening visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Percy Vincent, of Bluevale. At last week's meeting of Wingham C.G.I.T. in the Sun- day School room of the United Church the over-all executive for all groups was elected. The president, who will preside at the annual vesper service and who will act as the C. G.1.T. representative at all official functions, is Linda Aitchison. The secretary is Susan Currie and the treasurer, Gail Gannett. The Unicef boxes were turn- ed in and the final total was $133.82. The C.G.I.T.again thank the people of Wingham for donating this worthwhile sum. As part of the worship ser- vice the girls who had been elected to office in each group were installed by Rev. C. M. Jardine. The official initia- tion ceremony was conducted by Mrs. G. W. Tiffin and Mrs. J. Kopas and the new girls were presented with C.G.I.T. pins for their middies. Members who turned 15 this year or are in Grade 10 in school were then presented with lanyards as a symbol of their Senior status.
