Enjoyable Day at Fergus last Friday THE Pose' scribe, along with adozen other newspaper men, went to Fergus in connection with a 4 or 5 County Commi ttee assembled in the interests of the Press Association, Meeting was heldin the Carnegie Library build- ing and after the business was com- pleted Editor Templin Sr Son, of the News -Record, whose overflowing hos- pitality the knights of the shears and paste pot had participated in to so large a measure, arranged a motor tour of this well founded old town which proved most enjoyable and il- luminating. The large oatmeal mill, of Jas. Wil- son & Sons, was the first industry vie- ited, where the process of turning out this well known product was illustrat- ed by word and act and for the mo - merit we were all "Jock Tamson's bairns" in sampling the proverbial bill of fare credited with producing men and women of brain and brawn. Next stopping place was the large wood working factory of Beattie Bros., with the mammoth dry kilns, lumber yard, &c., and from this busy scene we hied to the large new and most modernly equipped machine shops, offices, shipping rooms, &c., of this enterprising firm. As we were court- eously conducted through the various departments the range of business conducted, the facilities forturning out the many lines manufactured and the tbusioessliks system everywhere apparent were a genuine surprise to the visitors. Among lines handled is iron stable fixtures and fittings. wire gates, washing machines, churns, step and extension ladders, &c., in almost every case stock of practical necessity to every home and surroundings. Fergus bas good reason to be proud of possessing the headquarters of such plants with go-ahead men as propri- etors. The public have little idea of the extent of the business carried on. Evening shadows were drawing on and tea time and train time looming up and we were reluctantly compelled to call a halt on our pleasant tour. Fergus has a population of about 2000. town is substantially built, well equipped with modern conveniences, fine church edifices, schools, public building, comfortable homes, not over- looking the well located and popular Alexandria Hospital, owned and di- rected by Dr. Groves, a gentleman possessing more than a Provincial rep- utation. The Grand River with its wonderful rock formations is a scenic spot and well worthy of wider publi- city than it now possesses, although well known to many. The News.Record, with a history of over 60 years, is a live exponent of the town and community, Proprietors have an A 1 equipped plant, located in a well built stone block, centrally situated. Tsos POST was delighted to have the opportunity of renewing old friend- ships formed years ago at Brussels with H, Ham and family, who are as busy as of old in both church and community affairs, Also bad time to call at home of W. H. and Mrs, Stew- art, Brusselites of other days, the latter having been on our staff for a few years. Sorry we did not get to see W, A. and Mrs. Inose, who were former residents of the carpet town, but had the impression they had re- moved from Fergus until too late to see them. The thanks of the newspaper visit- ors was tendered to Messrs, Templin for the favors bestowed and the hope expressed that opportunity would come when these could be returned, Church UNVEILING TABLET.—Sunday after- noon, Nov. 13th, a public service will be held in the Methodist church, Brussels, at 3 o'clock, when a Memorial Tablet will be unveiled by Rev, Capt.
