Corners. 'It was the "IIub" in the Huron tract as this part was known at that time,. The main building in the village at that time was Rattenbury's log tavern, and the only store of any, importance was Moore and Hunter's general store, dry goods, groceries,•• hard- ware and what not. It was eon- tained in the front part- of the, down- stairs of the house that. is now oc- cupied as a dwelling between' Wesley church and Elliott's livery barn, and roar the down the upstairs and ther a of S P stairs was used as a dwelling by the proprietors of the store, There were no churches in the place, I can't call it a town or village because it was neither at that time, hut just Rat- tenbury's. corners. And oh, the mud in those clays was awful. 'i'here was- n't a gravel road in the County of Huron at that time and there was only one railroad ia, Canada, which was known as the Great Western, from Montreal to Sarnia. Any preaching that was done was in the sohool house which stood on the ground which is now the south west coiner of the Euglish church grounds, near • Smith's house, and that's where we went to school .which was taught by a little man by the name of W. Riley or as we used to call him, " 'Crippled Dick' upon a stick and Elsie on a sue, the auld wife on a-- and that was all the crew." But we never let him bear us call. him by that name. He was a very little man but my, he t•ould use the taws, which was a stick about twenty inches long with a strap fas- tened on the end about the same length and cut into strips with knots tied on the ends. Ile sure was an expert at using it. I can feel it yet, and I can hear the whiz as it swung through the air while he was operating it. There was only the one teacher for all Bothers. Every morn- ing whenwe came in to school we bad to .line up in a row and hold out our hands to be inspected. Any who had dirty hands felt the weight of the taws, and did you ever know a kid with clean hands at nine o'clock in the morning ? I can't forget the fun it was when the geography clans was up we would all stand in a row and with one united voice we would sing : "Patigonia has no .capital, has no capital, Patigonia has no capital, has no capital." We would sing that for about five minutes and then take up some other that had some pecul- iarity. about it. But the only place that I remember was Patigonia and I don't know now where that is but I guess it must have moved by this time for it got such a lot of good advertising. Now just about this time things began to move in re- ligious circles. The Wesleyan Meth- odists built tlhe old Rattenbury street church. I think that was in 1856. So Joe Wheatley and I and my bro- ther Joe went to the Sunday school. The first preacher, if my memory ser- ves me, .was Rev. ItIr. Cleghorn. We thought he was a wonderful ,man. The church wasn't finished inside, but the root was' on so they went to the woods, (and they didn't have to go very far), and cut lengths of logs about two feet long and 'laid hoards across them, and we were quite com- fortable on them ; if they didn't keep us in too long. I don't remember who was the first superintendent but I eau remember quite well the late Mr. Stevenson, Curtis' father, was the secretary, and John Jackson, William Harland, Sr., and Mr. W. Simpson were teachers. There were others but I can't place then' just now. Then I think it was the next year the first English church was builtaway out in Gibbings' field, where thesrectory now stands. We had to climb a fence to get there, so, all the elite of the place had to go. So as Joe Wheatley and Joe Stephen- son and I belonged to that class, we wont there and the . incumbent or rec- tor of that `church was .the late Bis- hop Carmichael, and he was greatly beloved by everybody. The late S. Rance was superintendent of the Sunday school, Russel. Reid was see- retary and the late Mr.. Bentley was °one of the teachers. I was in his Class. '''hen I think it was the next year that the . Presbyterian Church was ,built. So Joe 7,-- o 8,t6git 9fY Iird— ngself toddled over there also• The minister of that church was the „late Dr. McDonald and he was just "it," there was no one like him, Auburn The Baptist churcli is holding a special Mothers' Day service next Sunday at 2.80 p.m. .
