Ferguson1s' sale at Bayfield, conducted by auctioneer ' Harold Jackson, of Seaforth. An auction sale of household goods at all times and under any conditions has a certain amount of pathos and tragedy about it. It moans the end of the road for lime person or some fancily. But in the city an auction sale is an impersonal sort of thing. Few people in attend- ance have known the family. The crowd is there for purely business reasons, curiosity or the hope of picking up some odd antique, or useful household article. In the country or in a village, or - town an auction sale is an event and particularly if the goods of an old home and of old residents are up for sale. Many people have been enter- tained and have recollections of happy days in the old home, Those who have not are obsessed by curiosi- ty to see the inside of a residence to which they had never been admitted. While in Bayfield on my .holiday I attended the sale of goods of one of the oldest residents. The whole village — the summer visitors and the natives—turned out. It was more than just an auction sale; it was a social event; an outing—something to break the monotony of life in this peaceful village. It was an opportuni- ty to meet new and old friends. In this particular case the owner of the house, pne of the largest resi- dences in the village, was a lady, the last survivor of the family. Her husband died a few years ago. She had tried to cling to the old home, but found it impossible with help difficult to secure, to carry .on. Re- luctantly she had decided to sellout and move to a small apartment in Goderich. Born in Bayfield, her father one of the pioneers of the village, she came to the home a bride over 40 years ago. Her hus- band was a lake captain in the days when Bayfield was a thriving and prosperous lake port. Now all the household goods col- lected for over 40 years were being sold. As she watched silver, china, pictures, books and such intimate personal things . as an old-fashioned silver card case, used in the days when Bayfield had its own aristoc- racy, one' could easily imagine her feelings as she watched the eager bidding. She had retained a few per- sonal belongings for her new and strange home in Goderich and sent- imentally she returned her wedding presents to those who had presented them to her 40 -odd years ago, or, where possible, to their descendants. She could not bring herself to dis- pose of them. Everything else was sold by auction. The auctioneer was a good- natured, jovial, happy sort of chap— most auctioneers hap—most-auctioneers are. It, is a pro- m fession which calls for a certain amount of jollying of a crowd. To protect himself from the sun. he wore , a helmet hat. Over and over again with wearying repetition he started: !'Well, here we are again! Here I we are again!” holding up a glass Red Cross :Notes The Red Cross rooms will be open- ed Friday, July 27, from 2 o'clock to give out material for work in August. Donations for the "Jain -for Britain" project will be much appreciated. This community was shocked with announcement of the sudden death of Mrs. Michael McCarthy, a highly esteemed resident of Dublin, on Friday morning. Mrs. McCarthy had retired to bed in her usual health but was seized by a heart attack to which she succumbed at 7 a.m. The former Miss Nora Kirwan was born 68 years ago at Brudenell, Renfrew County and was married to Michael McCarthy on June 4, 1894. The couple celebrated their golden wed- ding last year. Mr. and 'fill's. Mc- Carthy moved tp Logan township about 22 years ago, having pur- chase.; the Patrick Lunney farm. They retired to Dublin about eight years ago when they, purchased the Diegel residence on John St, Mrs. McCarthy was a faithful member of St. Patrick's Church, Dublin, of the Altar Society and the League of the Sacred Heart. She was a devoted Wife and mother and a kind neigh- bor. She is survived by her husband, two daughters and seven sons; Mrs, Doris Monaghan (Kathleen) Mitch- ell; Miss Genevieve, Toronto; John, William and Lloyd, Dublin; Michael and Thomas, Toronto; Matthew, De- troit and Daniel, Windsor. The funeral was held at St. Pat- rick's Church, Dublin, on Monday morning, which was attended by a large group of neighbors and friends. Numerous spiritual and floral of- ferings were in evidence, including wreaths and sprays from Toronto and Mitchell, and the members of the family. Thepall bearers were six sons: Michael and Thomas, Toronto; Matthew, Detroit, Daniel, Windsor, William and Lloyd, Dublin. Solemn Requiem Mass was offered. The cele- brant was: Rev. J. B. Ffoulkes, D.C. L„ the deacon, Rev. E. E. Veiten-. hehner, Logan; sub -deacon, Rev. F. J. O'Drowski, St Columban. Inter- ment took place in St. Patrick's Cem- etery, Dublin, where Rev. D. Ffoulkes officiated at the graveside services. Among those attending the funeral from a distance were: Mr. and Mrs. Matthew McCarthy and daughter, Detroit; Daniel McCarthy, Windsor; Michael, Thomas and Miss Genevieve McCarthy, Toronto; Mr. and Mrs, D. Monaghan and two sons, Mitchell; William McCarthy and daughter and James Sullivan, Killaloe, perry oowl. "Will someone 'give me a start? Will someone give me a start? A dollar I am bid. A dollar I am bid." No one had actually made a bid that we saw. This was his technique. "Only a dollar for this beautiful berry dish in perfect condition. Do I hear a quarter?"' Someone by this time had nodded. I "A quarter, a quarter," he contin- ued. "Will someone make it fifty?" ' Someone excitedly did. "Fifty, fifty, :Fifty, Seventy-five. seventy-five. Two dollars, two dollars. Make it two and a quarter." A lady at the back held up her hand. "It is yours, Take it away." And now he had a bundle of books. "Well, here we are again. Hare we are again" and he started 1 all over in the same ringing tone. The old technique of "Going, go ing, gone" is apparently out-of-date. The sale started outside the barn where there was auctioned off the accuu lation of four decades of gar- den r - den tools and odds and ends which , pile up in a village barn or wood- shed. hakes,saws, harnniers, bowls, I jugs, flower pots, even an antique candle mold, reminder of pioneer clays. There was an old-fashioned tin bath tub. When bidding on this sailed the auctioneer jocularly sig gtsted someone try it out. It was finally ,sold .to a farmer for 10 cents. Usually the bidding was brisk and j particularly at the crowd caught the spirit of the event. One Londoner purchased the most amazing collec- tion of old pots, kettles and odds and ends. What he would ever do with them even in his summer cot- tage is a mystery. Then the auctioneer turned to the kitchen utensils. He was amounted by this time on an old table. The lady of the house was -a noted cool[. She .had the utensils for everything from. waffles to angel cake. Possibly the women thought some of the nmagic, of her cooking was to be found 1- her kitchen 'implements. In any case, eager women bidders forced the prices imp. Next came the silver, china and glassware. Here the real lively bid-: cling Matted, as the antique hounds',.. largely summer visitors from De- troit and London, crowded eagerly around the now perspiring auction - 1 • : Continued on Page @- Mr. and Mrs. Ancly O'Rourke, De- troit, with Mr, and.
