The Wingham Times, 1914-07-09, Page 8THE .WINGITAM. TIRES, JULY (ill 1911 DATE0ii.DRu1i Last Priday was Civic holiday in the village, and as announced, the YOung People's Literary Society held a big picnics at 10th bridge. Was it a big affair? Well, well, we would opine, and a. splendid success at that. Business Waa suspended and everybody was out for a good time and everybody had it to the full. There was eot even a home guard left behind. Over six hundred from the Classic village and its surround. lugs were out in their Sunday best. The day was an ideal one for such an occasion and the program was good and carried out with good fellowship and , fun galore for all. Baseball, football, ' boating, foot -races and other sports , Were the order of the day, while swings and merry-go-rounds were ie full play far the little folks, and as many of the big folks who cared to indulge them- selves to the thrills of this sport. There was also a large booth on the grounds, where ice cream of a mos delicious kind, fruits and nice cooling drinks were to be had. The hundreds of well filled baskets of good things were in evidence and the hearty way in which these dainties were partaken of was a guarantee that the inner man was satisfied at all events The sports and games was -kept up until late in the evening. It was very close on 10 o'clock before the large gathering could break away. The beautiful moonlight night was too enticing. Last week Mr Andy Leggett and his gang of framers completed the work on • Mr Alex Emerson's fine barn on the 12th of West Wawanosh and one day recently over one hundred and fifty of the husky young fellows of the neigh- borhood and outside aecompainied by as many of the fair dames gathered to- gether to lend a hand in its erection. The building is 42x6a. On this occasion there was no sides chosen but the whole management was left in the hands of Mr Leggett, the builder, and under his capable management everything went swimminly along and was completed in short order to the entire satisfaction of all concerned. The ladies, while not taking an active part in the raising, were taking a very active part in an- other part of the grounds which was of as mach or more interest to the boys as was the work they were doing, for they Were preparing a regal feast tube par- taken of when the work was done. On record time the structure was complet- ed and three rousing hearty cheers given and then a gallant charge on the heavily ladened tables of good things and the rapid way in which wide gaps were made and the hearty manner in which everyone was doing his devoir is evidence 'enough that the efforts of the fair ones was highly appreciated. After the inner -man was satisfied all turned to and the remnants, dishes and tables were all cleared away and order in this department was again restored, A band of local musicians was then Soon on hand and by its delightful strains tbe light fan-tastic was in full sway and a delightful time was indulg- ed in by a large number of the young people until the wee sma' hours had gan'g agleck. After which best wishes for Mr and Mrs Emerson and family was extended and the merry gathering sought their homes. The many friends of Mr John Eagle- son will be pleased to learn that he is at his home again and is rapidly recov- ering after the serious operation he had undergone in the Wingham Hospit- al.
