J. A. Sltelwart, High 'street, when thir-
ty Friends called to convey .eongratula-
tiotus and 'beet wishes to Mrs. Stewart
on' the occasion• of her eighty-ninth
birthday. Mrs. S'ttwart was born in
London, Ontario, in 11843 and came
when four years of age, through"Ith'e,'

was aisle to record her smite in .the by-
election, in South Huron. She Can re-
call some interesting stories of the
early pioneer days in this dietric't, one
o'f them . was in, connection with the
mysterious disappearance of a sister
of the late John Hannah of Tucker -
smith, who %ventt out to hunt the
cows and was never heard of again.
Itt was thought that she had been
stolen aa'wry by the Indiana. The first
railway train' that passed through
Harpurhey, she said was quite a curi-
osity to the children who were so
afraid the cars would roan over +the
house that they could not sleep. One
woman jumped out of her shoes at
the sight o'f it. Mr. Lowe . was the
first teacher and Rev, Mr. MaoKeozie,
the first minister, : in Harpurhey.
There was no telegraph line then.
Everyone abten'ded church in those
days, even the dogs were church-
goers, a man being appointed to stand
at the doorof the church to keep
them out. Alt the age of 2.1, Miss Mc-
Cullough, was united in marriage to
Alexander Stewart of Harpurhey.
They moved to Seaforth where Mr.
Stewarb engaged . succetsslfully
b'lackemith'ing. 'Since` his ' death in
'191118 'at the age of 78yearsthe busi-
ness has been carried on by his son,
J. A. Stewart, 'having been in the
family for 66 years. Mrs. Stewart is
one Of the oldest members of First
Presbyterian Church, Seaforth, and• a

THANKS to his pass-
book, the happy day
need not be longer post-
poned. Regular weekly
deposits have given him
such a substantial Savings Reserve that he can
now commence his pleasant task of supporting'
two instead of one. Quite rightly, he looks,
upon his little red passbook as his best friend—
because it will bring so much of happiness and
security.
Whatever your objective maybe, you can bring its fulfilment steadily
nearer if you deposit a certain, unvarying sum every week.
