A GRAND OLD MAN. -Arthur Knox
is now in hie 95th year and yet hale
and hearty. He only uses glasses
when reading. He has one of the
finest gardens in town, comprising
acre, that he put in himself. It is full
of vegetables and corn, the latter
measuring nearly 6 feet. Mr. Knox
comes from old Irish stock and enjoys
telling of the times he had when
young, after coming to Canada. He
was born in West Ireland, town of
Ballingrobe, in the year of 1821, on
January 5. After living in Ireland for
20 years, his mother died and he and
hie father Caine to Oanada. After a
long trip in a wooden vessel, they
settled down In Moncton, county of
Dundee, which was then under the
government of Sic Robert Peel, who
Was also Iiia British Prime Minister,
He and Ida fattier got a job of clean-
ing up the land in that part of the
country, which was then nothing but
a forest. Often he says th'e deer could
be Been in herds. After some few
years of this bard work, he sent for
his wtfe who was still in Ireland, as he
had secured a good position as Inspec-
tor of roade and toll -gates under En-
gineer Day. He also remembers the
accident to Sit' Robert Peel, when he
met his death by being thrown from
his horse, Mr. Knox then strayed
through the lower Counties of Stor-
mont, Dundee and Glengary and carne
to Winghani about 25 years ago,
where his family was born. He says
that many a time he carried a bag. of
wheat on his back a long distance to
be ground into flour for his family,
when the oxen had been working hard
cleating up land. Mr. Knox still leads
an out -door life and has never needed
to employ a doctor for himself. He
hopes to live long enough to see
Britain victorious in the terrible
European struggle. Mr. Knox is a
devout member of the English church
and in politics stands out as an Inde-
pendent. He is nnw living with his
daughter, Mre. J. E. Swartz,
