DEPLORE HALLOWE'EN DEPREDATIONS •. Days in Seaforth when the town was young are recalled by a copy of The 'Huron Expositor for November 6,$ 18T4, recently discovered by Mr. Mc .lcolm MeDiarmid, of Hullett town- shil, who kindly 'brought it to this. off' e. Chief story on the front page con- cerned the annual root crop competi- tion . sponsored by the South Huron Agricultural Society. 'Competitors, 16 in number, -included David Annan, Usborne; IVtrs'.. Henry Chesney, Hugh Chesney, James Dickson, of Tucker - smith; David W. Yould, Stanley'; .Isaac Carling and James Pickard, of Exeter.. judges were William Sproat, Tuckersmith; Duncan McLar- en, . Hibbert, and John" McMillan, Hul- lett. Bayfield harbor, then as now, was a bone of contention and a long 'edi- torial" concerned itself with the man- ner in which certain improvements were being done. 'Markets in Seaforth were dull, ac- cording to reports appearing in the issue. Fall wheat sold at 88 to 90c. Butter was 24c and eggs '15c. Pota- toes were 40 to 50. cents per hushel, and wood was $2.50 a cord. Beef ranged from $4 to $5 and pork was quoted at $7.00. Huron County was advertising its tax sale in The Expositor at that time and' had 176 properties listed. The ,Seaforth village council at a special meeting ordered Messrs.. J. I. Carter & Co: and Messrs. Carter & McDougall "to remove underground /pipes that convey the brine to their salt blocks from Railway Street at once." It was claimed that the pipes could not be kept from leaking and that the escaping brine polluted neighboring wells. - Hallowe'en in. 1874 was quiet ' in Seaforth, but "the lads of Egmondville did not content themselves with 'harm- less amusements. They went in for destroying property." Then followed a list of fences and buildings which had been damaged, including thole of Mr. Elliott, Mr. Dickson, Mr. Henry Jackson and the Carter estate," This is carrying sport a little too far. Such acts of rowdyism cannot, be tolerat- ed," the story concludes. It was in 1874 that the Oddfellows' building -(now the Armouries)• was in Gladys Earle, James Jamieson, Eliza - 'Mrs. Ae.A.
