A STRANGER IN HIS OWN HOME TOWN Saturday night a few weeks ago - I walked up Main Street from the met to Goderich street. I et just two whom I knew, Jack Muir, the section boss, and Jack- Reid, super- intendent of the furniture factory. I was a stranger in my own home town. Forty years ago • conditions were revised -there would not be two per- sons that I could not hail by their front names. Still, I like to • visit Seaforth and its neighborhood, The setting is there, and fancy recalls - the boys and girls, the men and women, of forty years ago. To me they are real. After all there is something in the 20th plane that Coil!an Doyle, Sir Oliver Lodge and Wm. Stead write and speak of. But I want to go back five years later than 40 -to 1.875 -when as a little lad I first saw Seaforth's not stuinpless streets, to the fire of Sept. 3rd, 1876, and other incidents. The frost is on the pumpkin. Still I'm a boy. I like' to live the old days over again. - When I looked at the hydro light and recalled the lightless streets of 1875 (the coal oil street lamps did not arrive till a year or so later), and the mud and submerged corduroy of Main street, the humming town, filled with coopers and farmers and salt. workers, I kind of feel as if Seaforth had slipped back some, notwithstand- ing its principal street is of asphalt block and the" mud underneath. The oldest business man in Sea - forth is Tom Stevens. True he is not as husky as he was in the old. white house before the fire. But he - is pretty 'good at that. Geordie Sills is an old tinier, but in those days he worked in Johnson Bros.' hardware store, right opposite the Oddfelloww' Block. Jack Cardno, another one,. Wm,nor must I forget Jim Watson, W, N. Watson & Son, the old man is - gone -Jim „remains. So for second place, I guess Jim Watson has it, George Sills and Jack Cardno can settle it for a third. 1 spent a delight- ful few'minutes with Jack Cardno. From somewhere he dug up a bit of a stick, gnarled and bent as it was when Jack Paine used it as prop for his aged limbs when he played Uncle - Tom in "Uncle Tom's Cabin," staged.. Junior Public School Graduation Examinations. The following candidates were suc- cessful. Total number of marks 1100, to pass 660, to obtain I. class honors 825 marks, and II elass honors 770 marks. The highest marks obtained were: Reading -Madeline Gaunt, Carman Tebbutt 43. Writing -Grace Eby, Euloine Geiger 45. Literature -Doris McNaughton 90. Composition-Euloine Geiger 78. Grammar -Grace Stone 95. Spelling -Grace Eby, Doris Me - Naughton 96, History -Carman Tebbutt 85. Geography -Mabel Woods 91. Arithmetic -Grace Stone 100. Art -Ross Jamieson 84. Science -Elsie Brandau 86. Bookkeeping -Laird Joynt 84. saw when on the road, played layed little Eva, and Toni Sool, Topsy. Memory fails me as to the other characters, ice, Liza and nor recall iz L the I cannot whether the club annexed Scott Robertson's blood hounds for the chase. I asked Mr. Cardno Where the New York Central engine was. Sophia. Miles and J. K. Spackman, profes- sionals, filled Cardno's hall nightly in "Under the Gas- Light." Gas lights in 1920 are• back numbers, Edison put them out for good. - But I must not digress. The vi..11an tied 4'Snorky," a one armed railroad man to the tracks, right on Cardno's hall stage. The locomotive was to run over him. And the down express train at light- ning speed on the New York Central was pushed along by Jack Cardno, and he supplied the smoke and the sparks, too. Just a day or so before my visit, Jack chucked the old loco- motive out of the window. He is not very big at that. Seaforth forty-five years ago had nine di -y good stores, nine hotree and • two saloons. With another hotel in Harpurhey and four ir. Egmendville as added attractions. No cop either. Jim Dolnage and his collie dog came a year after. The Crooks Act put a cried, in the saloons, but 'the hotels remained. The first day .Jim Dunlop was on the job as policeman, he and his dog nailed three of the lads of those days at Carnaichaers corner, and landed them in the old coop un- der the town hall on the old market - square, down at the furniture fac- tory. With 400 coopers in town, the streets packed full with farmers' rigs, Seaforth needed the nine hotels and; the nine dry goods stores. Take it from me, it was some town -the best in Ontario. Of course, - the hotels supplied the "hootch." Seaforth was a wide-oiien town, but it was not un- moral. There were too many good stiff Presbyterians for that -and you know the Scotch will keep the Sab- bath clay. As I was waiting for the afternoon train for my return jour- ney to Toronto on Monday, the old fire bell rang, and the mocking bird whistle let a few whoops out of it. A gasoline propelled fire truck shot out of the town hall, How different it was back in the big fire of 1876. Then the old hand engine, "Break her down; break her down;" the fire chief would call. ' And the wells and tanks were pumped dry. Water soaked and salt soaked blankets saved the old town from being completely wiped out in the days when I was a printers devil in the old Expositor office on John street. Many a night when. I rolled over the New York Central lines and the Twentieth century and the Wolverine were hitting up the high spots at 70 per hour, I fancied Jack Cardno was pushing some the locomotive on the front end. Perhaps this effusion is too long. But I know Keith McLean will not "blue pencil" any of it, At another time I will write ofthe "old folks," now sleeping in Harpurhey,Maitland- bank and Egmondville kirk yard. They were worth while. You and i, reader, owe them much, so on my part it will be a labor of love -an ack- nowledgment of what I learned from - M. Scobbie, H. M. Sylvester (honors), them.--"Bil1" Powell. Perth J.
