The St. Marys Journal -Argus prints the following from "Memoirs of Blanshard," written by Mr. Geo. Beavers, B.A., of Vancouver: "When. I first knew the spot where Kirkton now stands there were two cross roads there, four corners and Fish Creek; but one of these roads formed the boundary, as it does still between two of as good townships as can be found in the Province of Ontario-Blanshard and Usborne- as well as. the boundary between two important counties, Perth and Hu- ron. There was, however, plenty' of material lying around to suggest its present name; for Alexander, Kirk owned the farm on the north- east corner, Lewis Kirk the farm on the northwest corner and Robert and James Kirk the one on the southwest corner and David Kirk owned two farms, one in Blanchard and the oth Usborne in Lsborne'about half a mile farther south. The waters of Fish Creek gave every one of them a call on its way to join the Thames, .,,Ihe' south east corner was owned by an old"bachelor named "Bobbie" Lee. and remained uncleared until 1859, The Wesleyan Methodists held a bush meeting in it in 1558, when Rev, Alex, Campbell and. Fey, Dara lel;o v C nnoli_ were the ministers in charge of the St_ Marys circuit of which the Kirkton .appointment then formeda part. In the following year (1859) they also held a camp meet- ing in James Kirk's grove close to ;and on the left bank of Fish Creek directly back of the place where the Anglican Church now stands. It began about the second Sunday in August and continued until after the third Sunday in September. Rev. Andrew Edwards and. Rev. Robert Shan- were the pastors in charge of the. St. Marys circuit that year so had the conducting of the camp meeting. They were, however, ably assisted by the ministers on other near -by circuits, and much good was done. The first church in Kirkton was in course of erection that sum- mer. It was opened about Christmas of that year, 1859, Rev. Mr. Bridg- men being the preacher at the morn- ing service. The writer of these "Memories" was present and has a distinct recollection of the part of the marriage ceremony then used by ministers of the Anglican Church, "With this ring I thee wed, with my body I thee worship, and with all, all, all my wordly goods I thee en- dow." I was not permitted to attend any more of the opening ses'vices, being a little, boy,e only .the, older,' members of'the family were accord- ed the privilege. ? The name "Kirk -ton" was non -ex istant before the year, 1860. It was then made up as the name for the post office the Government had con- sented to establish there. At first Woodham contested with Kirkton as to which of them should have the post office, the Government • not be- ing willing to establish two offices so near together, but finally . the Government consented and gave each of them one. l4 i+iJ)IDIiM G AT KIR.KTO:4 . A wedding that created a wide in- terest took place in the Methodist Church on Good Friday 'afternoon, The contracting parties were Mr. Purley Greenwood,, third son of Jas. Greenwood, Crystal, North Dakota, and Miss Lizzie Switzer.' resident of. this, village, -daughter of the late William and Eliza Jane Switzer, of Blanshard Township. . Promptly at three p.m. the bride, who , had ar- rived in •a decorated car, was led down the aisle by her brother. Mr. Win,. Switzer, to the alter where the bridegroom and the minister, the Rev. C. '4V. Brown, were waiting. The ceremony was Iirereded by suit- able music on the organ, played by 12r, Campbell. A. large audience re- spectfully and reverently witnessed the tying of the nuptial knot, 'Phe bride was beautifully dressed in white Georgette crepe with silver trimming, with bridal veil and wreath of orange blossom: A beau tiful corsage bouquet of roses and sweet peas were also worn. The churchwas nicely decorated with flowers for the occasion. Dur- ing the signing of the register, Mrs. 'W, Urquhart pleased all with her rendering of the solo "0 Perfect Love." Miss Mary E, Switzer, Mis- sionary from West China and Mr. S. Tufts signed. the register.To the. wedding march the happy couple repaired to the schoolroom where the reception was held, congratula- tions given and where the wedding lundh was served. The minister in a humorous speech proposed the toast of., the bride. At the bride's request h ..5. Tufts responded with a neat ,effective address. Mr. Robert Hazel- wood on behalf -of the Sunday school 'and church presented the bride'with a bible and hymn book in a felici- tous speech. Quite a number 'of ,valuable and beautiful presents. from interested friends were taste: - fully displayed on a table in the dec- orated schoolroom. Six ladies of the church, Mesdames S. Switzer, P. F. Doupe, C. Jose, C. Duffield, G. Haz- elwood and Mrs. J. Kemp, kindly gave their assistance in the' prepara- tion of the wedding lunch and the nieces of the bride made excellent waitresses. Outside guests were present from Francistown, Exeter. M ttchall, • St. Marys, etc. The happy couple took a car to Mitchell after the event where they stayed until Sunday when they returned to the, bride's residence in Kirkton, 'It is their intention to return to the groom's home in North Dakota in the course of a few weeks. The best wishes go with them. AN OCTOGENARIAN DEAD. ' The death occurred on Easter Monday, March 28th, of Susan Mar- shall, relict of the late James Mar- shall of Blanshard. The late Mrs.. Marshall, who was nearing her 80th birthday, was born in Glascow, Scot land, and came to Canada with her parents when 13 years old. The fame fly' settled in Hibbert Township where they resided for eight years,' then moving to Blanshard, where they" spent the remainder of thoir MITCHELL COUPLE 11.11+A;N: GROWERS O1' W. .0. 01UGANIZE. The feature of a aneoi,ing held, r London on Saturdr ty by 'the Outer ;Flax Growers' Association wan, ; ti formation of a company formed 'ui der the Ontario Companies Act to known as the Canadian Co-Oper tiye Flax Growers, Limited. Ti meeting was largely attended -b flax growers from' all over Wester Ontario, The objects of this organizatio are to look after the' interests' shareholders, in the growing, hand ling, and marketing of flax product and to do anything incidental o conclusive thereto. The authorize capital of the company is` $10,000 divided into 100 ` shares of. $10 each.

F,J• Lockhart, of°Parkhill, man ager of the Ontario Flax Company addressed the meeting and gave 'a interesting talk on the flax indus try in Ireland. Mr. Lockhart, wh has just returned from Ireland stated that the flax industry in-tha country was at" a standstill. ' He stated that Irish spinners liked the Canadian flax . and will be in the market for it just as soon as the trade industry opens up. He stated that the flax acreage in Europe; for . the coining year will be cut down 50 per cent. Ireland, which last year produced 120,000 acres will likely sow; a very small crop. This is going to mean a scar- city of, flax in the future and the prices will intimeback ,come from their present low levels. In the meantime the Ontario grower has to hold on to his crop if he wishes to realize anything like" its value. The production cost in Ireland to- day is 25 per cent, below' the pres- ent cost in Canada, he said. In Ontario. The general flax conditions in On- tario are not very bright. The grow- ers have all last year's crop on hand and not°more `then half of the pre- viotis year's crop has been manufac- tured. Most of the spinning mills in Ireland and the United .'States are closed down; as a consequence there is lib' market for Canadian flax. The result is, that there is- a decrease' in Prices far below cost of production and as a consequence there will be little flax sown in Ontario this year: It 'is said that there will be about 5,000 acres sown as compared! with 20,000 last year: Azuon those who attended the g meeting were: Mr. Weiler, Boman- ville; ,Tutus Miller, Oshawa; George Waltz, Cayuga; Amos `.Tipling,' Wing ' hani;'t James-Jvtc0urdy., Blythe; " Oweiit Geiger, Hensel]; J.
