Old Pricnds Remembered
n Friday evening of last week a
number of the friends of Mr. J. Little
gathered at his late residence (now the
property of Mr. D. Holmes) prior to l
his departure to his new home on the
B line near the C. P. R. crossing. ,
After amusing themselves in vinous
ways for some time, Mr. Little and
daughter Hazel were called to seats,
Mr, T, James assumed the duties of
chairman and called on Mr. Little who
read a short address expressing regret
at his departure from their midst,
after living on the boundary for three
score years, Mr. Dan McCormick
then presented Mr. Little with a gold
watch guard and pendant a pair of
gold cuff links and buttons. Mies
Jessie Holmes then gave to Mise Hazel
a lady's watch fob. Mr. Little was
taken by surprise, never expecting
anything like this from his old neigh•
boure, he gave a short rehearsal of
hie, settling on the homestead in the
early days. The old pioneers are fast
disappearing, Mr. Thos, Goy being the
only one now living who came to the
bush just a short time in advance of
him. After expressing his thanks for
this tangible token of their good will
he hoped they would all come to see
him in his new home on the. banks of
the Maitland, after partaking of e
hearty lunch. They got Mr. Little in
the centre of a circle and sang Auld
Lang Syne, with a gusto that would
have done justice to Harry Lauder, J
Com.
