Mrs. George Brown on the seeond concession of Grey, has grown and widened until each year it embraces a larger circle of relatives and -old 'Meads. On Fri- day last the gathetitig numbered over one hunnred, and included relatives from Perth and Huron Counties, from the neighborhood of Galt, Hamilton, and Brantford, while many others .in the far west and elsewhere, unable to attend, were not forgotten in thought To those familiar with the family , histories of the Browns, Pattersons, Campbells and many kindred families, it, is well known that they embrace ,riot only a lay& proportion of the solid -people, but a good deal of natural talent as well, and the event was not alone the occasion of many ' a happy renewal of old friendships and ac- quaintances, but e time when many young and old lived over again the pleasure of the old pioneer days in story and song. During the afternoon the men, young and old, engaged in. sports and the hot weather was ameliorated by the plentitude of -see cream supplied by the hostess and TUINTE 241919 for the industrial unrest. So far it developes that profiteering and the raising of prices to an impossible degree is where thei blame the price of hides no higher; than before the war and the 'cost of producing shoes only about 25 per cent. more, prices of shoes have ad- vanced from 100 to 200 per cent., clothing is shown to be 50 per emit. higher than it should be. Prunes a commodity Of the poor are taxed a duty of thirty-two and a half per cent., while grape fruit, a luxury, is admitted' duty free, silk velvet, for the wealthy lady, carries a duty of 20 per cent. while plain calico which the poorer- class must wear is taxed 40 per cent. Th.e packers, millers, etc., are showing profits,not of ,eight or ten per cent, but as high, as from 100 to 650 per cent. However, it is proposed by some cities and organiza- tions and resolutions have been form- ally adopted to put an embargo on the export of foodestuffs until prices have been. forced down by the restrict- ed market, that ia to hedge be Can- adian food producers so that they can no longer participate in the market of the world at large. Presumably our farmers would be required to sell their wheat et 80 cents a bushel, while the United States farmer would be receiving $2.26 per bushel, etc. Sure- ly no Government could lend itself to so absurd. and restrictive a policy. - Keep consumer's prices as near to producer's prices as possible by cutting out the meddle man's profiteering. - At the last meeting of Roxboro Ladies Aid Society held at the home of Mrs. Bell, Mrs. George B. Dorrance was presented with a life memberehip by Mrs. Joseph Dorrance. - Mr. Ed. Dorrance underwent a slight operation last week, but is improving nicely. - Mrs. McArdle has sold her farm on the fourth concession to Mr. Peter Delaney, the consideration being the host. After a splendid s.upper on the $3,900. Mr. Delaney hes secured a lawn, - guests participated in an d ert impromptu programme, almost unique goo propy. 'in its character and charm, for nearly every Brown, Campbell and Patter- son is a naturally gifted singer and platformer, and when W. Sangster took the chair it was to call upon one after another for songs' addresses, rec- itations, etc., of whichthe performer had no peevious notificatioe. Yet in every Caee the response was prompt and the performance such as to call enthusiastic applause. As an opening. selection the whole company of Browns Pattersons and Inane- other friends were called to sing their one time favorite, "All Together" and old voices Mended -with young in splendid melody while here and there handkerchiefs went to eves rnoise at the recollection of voices once heard to ring in union, but now absent. To all old timers it was a treat unexpected and received with shoutsof delight, when. Alex. Patterson, George Brown and John Scott,poetraaster at Listowel, rendered "Geordie Broon" in real old time style and were followed by John Scott's old song "We'll All Wear Cloaks." When Piper Cruickshank struck up a fine old Jacobite air little Miss Newlands, of Galt blithely stepped the graceful mazes of Scotch reels, Robert Thomp- son, of Listowel, R. Black, of Wrox- eter and Thomas McDonald, of Melee - worth stepped to time with the grace and vim and vigor of highland la,ddies all. Mr. and Mrs. Black, he With his irresistible humorous sketches and Mrs. Black with her eweet voice added intensity to, thi4an a,nd. mirth. Miss Luella Scott addedan old Scotch song or two in splendid -style, and the way in which William Brown, ef Moncrieff, responded to it call for one of his famous old time recitations called forth rounds of cheers. Amongst the speakers were Donald Patterson, Wm. Patterson and Beverly Patterson, men Well known in public life. But as twilight fell over the throng, partings began to be thought of and before anybody left, the final touching scene was enacted when the company form- ing a ring witIrlocked hands, sang one more "Auld Lang Syne." It was sung through and as verse followed chorus hands were gripp,e4 tighter, and then it was, with enthusiasm running high, that all joined in the leedership of John Scott as . he shouted forth "He's a Jolly Good Fellow." In response to the toast of Beverly Patterson; Mr. Brown expressed his gladness at the success of the reunion, his regrets that others absent were not there to share with them the pleasures of the oc- casion.
