As before stated I am not an old
and experienced farmer, nor a tiller
of the soil, nor one of the hard -hand-
ed sons of labor—but I may say I
have been there in my day, and I
imagine 1 know something about
how thesoil should be cultivated and
for getting happiness out ot the
ground.
know enough to know that ag-
riculture is the basis of all wealth,
prosperity and luxury. I know that
in a country where the tillers cif the
soil are free, everybody is free and
o u 0 t- prosperous.
The old -way of farming was a
great mistake. Everything was done
the wrong way. It was all work
and waste. They used to fence a
hundred acres of land. with a couple
of dogs. Everything was left to the
protection of the blessed trinity of
chance, accident and mistake.
In the early days of this country
farmers used to haul their wheat
thirty or forty miles for thirty-five
cents a bushel. They would bring

OV MS -BOYHOOD
Mr. Geo, G. Gibson, of St, Louis,
Mo., arrived in Exeter Satnrday ev-
ening to see his sister Mrs. M. B.
Little, and is calling on old friends,
in Usborn.e. Mr. Gibson is a brother
of the late Andrew Gibson, who was
buried in Exeter, on Monday of last
week. It is over fifty years ago
that Mr. Gibson was a resident of
Exeter, and he tells some very in-
teresting reminiscences of the early
days in this community. Leaving
hie hotne on a farm on the Thames
Road ween a lad to seek his fortune
in the world, he came to Exeter and
was appreaticed to the late Sineleir
Tait in the cooperage business and
after laboring for a year he was re-
warded with the munificent sum of
$10.00 in cash; $10. being retained
against running away. He worked
for four years, his wages adva,ncing
at the rate of $10, annually. Fi-
nally naving served his apprentice-
ship. he struck off for London, de-
termined to get an education, and he
never again worked at his trade. In
London he attended Business College
and then spent several years in a
lawyer's office, later going to U.S.A.
Twenty-seven years ago he open-
ed a furniture warehouse in the city
of St. Louis, which he conducted suc-
cessfully until two years ego, when
he turned the busineas over; to his
son Julian M. who reeently dis-
posed of it to accept a iterative pos-
ition with ,the St. ‘Lonis General
Warehouaing Company. Mr. Gibson
is now enjoying a well earned rest.
It is 26 years ago since he and his
sister last saw each other and that
was on the occasion of the funeral
seeetheir father, the late Samuel Gib-
son, who was buried at Goderich.
He sees great changes in Ex-
eter and misses many of the old
familiar faces.
