Upon this platform the horse, can walk or run as desired, being' harnessed with collar and traces in the usual way, the traces being hooked to the end of the machine. "In moving the horse pulls at the traces, and as the platform re- cedes under his feet the machine advances. Motion. from the plat- form is communicated to a toothed ratcheted drum on the driving axle over which the platform runs, and the other end of the platform runs over a free drum. 1 I;ir'ohnlly's teaser sent this note yl thin With fa r oSt edi~ tar ty,0hy bid tibttt a sp4ttds � tilthe ' ;tier, rik. 1'1ia,: a tit bifSii Illiii w thiS/s lbt%@t: "If ;� iiic1 ,ter ne itnow. 1 aisYA tt'iptible With hist ing its motion by outside teeth en- gaging in similar teeth on the driv- ing axle as indicated in the illus- tration. The gearing of the plat- form with the axle, as in the' bicycle, determines the speed of the machine. But whereas in the bicycle a two -speed gear is not a necessity, in the hippocycle it is in- dispensable. 1 "In the hippocycle the horse will be as much at rest when going down hills as if he were at home in his stall. Proper provision is made for preventing injury to the horse in case of sudden application of the (brakes. The problem of steer- ing the hippocycle are those in- volved in the government of the motorcycles or horseless carriages.) Over good roads a..speed of a5 to 20 miles is said to have been made by the hippocycle." Hibbert (Continued from Page 2) was about to take her departure. Some one went to rouse Jimmy and take him to her. "I want my sleep," said he, and he slept on. Before the break of day, while Jimmy' slept, Peggy slipped away into her last long rest. Jimmy and Peggy's house was torn down in the early 1900's, sometime after their deaths. The scales were moved to this lot around 1915 from their first loca- tion on the side of the roar) near where George Wilson, in the eat ly 1930's, built his chopping mill. Ern- est Allen and Ted Storey had this mill in partnership for a tame. From 1949 Storey had charge of it till' he sold in 1951 to Charles Dauphin. Storey, from the fall of 1951, has used the stable at his home as a welding and machine shop. While there have been a few houses added from time to time, the village has never grown large enough to have streets. except the two main roads through it. Hydro was installed, and these were light- ed for the first time in the spring of 1952. Grange When Jim Crawford left the Mc- Laren store and went to Toronto in the early 74)'s, this left only one store in the village. Prices soared in it and other stores in the com- munity about this time. The people were hearing much these days about the National Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry, which had been founded in the United States in December, 1867, by Oliver Hud- son Kelley. The high price of commodities in the 70's was one reason. the Cromarty unit of • the Grange came into esiatence in 1875. It continued in operation till 1895. By Ghia time. there was. again two stores •permanently establish ed in the village: The first Grange meeting was held on June 11, 1875, with an en- rolment of 20, including four ladies who were reluctant to join, but it was necessary to have (four before the group could be organized. The membership fee was $3.00 for men and 50c for ladieg. A few of the organizers of the Orange were: James Miller, Peter Campbell, Don- ald onald McLachlan, John Carmieha.el, George Caldwell and James Gilles- pie, who was secretary -treasurer. The building which housed the sup- plies was moved from Donald Mo- Lachlan's farm by the patrons to a knoll, afterwards known as the Grange Hill, on the northwest cor- ner otner of Duncan McKellar's farm, Lot 16, Concession 11. In this co-opera- tive store it was principally groc- eries that were sold, although they did handle a few dry goods and some hardware. The local store- keepers disliked this new venture, as the "Grangers" bought in large quantities and the storekeepers had to reduce tbeir prices to compete with them. At this time Gunpowder tea sold at $L00 a pound. At the same time, eggs were selling at 6c a dozen and butter, 10c a pound. The Grange was open on Friday evening every. two 'weeks, and it was tben the patrons went for their supplies. The men, besides trans- acting necessary business at their Grange meetings, had debates and occasionally a social meeting was held when the women were invited. After closing shop the last payment had not been received by the pat- rons when the secretary -treasurer, James Gillespie, died in July, 1895. Cheese Factories It was not till 1867 that the first cheese factories were organized. A great many sprang up the first few years after this, but by 1870, while several were still operating, th4e first enthusiasm was over. One was built in 1867 by George Hamilton on the corner of his farm, Lot 12, Concession 11, but it was not a very successful undertaking. Some time later Tom Ballantyne was tak- en in as a partner. By 1878 it was taken over by a joint stock com- pany and was known as the Poplar Grove Cheese & Butter Manufac- turing Company. This company,car- ried on till August, 1879. From then on the part of the building used for making cheese was idle, except for dances, which were held occasionally in the large 40x60 -foot room on the second floor, where there was, a good smooth pine floor. The living quarters on the main floor were in use for many years. The building was torn down in 1942. John Whyte, from the early 70's till 1874, gathered milk on Con- cession 12, and, with the assistance of his daughters, Maggie and Janet, made cheese in opposition to Geo. Hamilton in the log house on Whyte's east farm, Lot 16, Conces- sion 12. His cheesemaking in Hib- bert was carried on an even shorter time than Hamilton's. In 1867 a cheese factory was built on the corner of Lot. 22, North Thames Road, Hibbert Township. Peter Gardiner, James Hackney and Andrew Malcolm were at least three who had an interest in this "Thames Road Cheese Factory." Vialcolm was cbeesemaker; William Gardiner, assistant; and a few young girls were their helpers. In 1871, 71,632 gallons of milk were delivered at this factory, and 62,248 pounds of cheese were made there. Late in July, 1873, shortly after Gardiners took over the factory, fourteen carloads of cheese were shipped and about the same time George Hamilton shipped twelve carloads. Some time later in the 70e, Gardiners started making cheese in a building north of Far -1 quhar, in Usborne Township- This old frame building was then mov- ed from the Hibbert Township site to this other location. It was here that row upon row of cheese was stored for drying. Later, it was District Weddings McCALLUM - REGELE WALTON. - A pretty wedding took place at the home` of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Regele, Walton. Rev. H. E. Livingstone officiated, when their second youngest daughter, Pearl Marjorie, was united in mar- riage to Mr. Harold Noble McCal- lum, second youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Noble McCallum, also of Walton. The rooms were decorated with .pink and white streamers and white bells. The wedding music was played by Miss Norma Leeming. Miss Mary Dennis sang "I Love You Truly," and "I'11 Walk Beside You?' The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a white satin gown fashioned with fitted bodice and inset marquisette yoke, outlined with Chantilly lace, The sleeves were in long lily points and the bouffant skirt extended to form a chapel train, outlined with frills of lace. Her shoulder veil fell from a halo headdress trimmed with pearls, and she carried American Beauty roses and fern, The matron of honor, Mrs. Frank Glanville, of Crediton, sister of the bride, wore a floor -length gown of blue taffeta with matching headdress and mit- tens. Her flowers were snapdra- gons, carnations and roses. Ttte bridesmaids were Miss Mary Foste of Mitchell, wearing a long g w of pink satin with,lace over ne her flowers were sapdragons an carnations; and Miss Bernice Glan- ville, niece of the bridegroom, in a gown of pastel green nylon, and her flowers were sweet peas and roses.. Both wore headdresses and mittens matching their gowns, The flower -girl was Geraldine Dennis in a long frock of pale green taffeta i withmittens and headdress to match. She carried a basket of sweet peas and snapdragon. Mr. Lloyd Regele, of Sombra, brother of the bride, and Mr. Bill Fisher, of Mitchell, were best men;' Rich- ard Glanville was ring-bearel, and Alex Gardiner, page boy. In the evening a reception was held at the home of the bride's,, parents. Mrs. Regele received wearing a white flowered jersey' 1dress and a corsage of pink roses. The bridegroom's mother assisted, wearing a blue crepe dress with white polka-dot trim and a corsage of pink roses. For travelling the bride donned a ,)sink taffeta; drefg. green thorns coat with gray aPeenentielt an a corsage of red roses. After a wed. •di'ng trip to the United States, M. ab.d Mrs. MoCailum will reside on the bridegroom's farm. KIFPEN The Sunday Schools of Hillsgreen and St. Andrew's Church, Kipper*. will hold theirnnual picnic on Friday, June 27, in Jowett's Grove, Bayfield. Sports commence at 0:30. DUBLIN - Special services in. honor of 'the Feast of Corpus 'Ohristi were held at St. Patrick's Church, Dublin, on Sunday afternoon, Rev. Father Dur- knd officiating. James Krauskopf, Sr., was tear- ing down a portion of a building last week when a sharp stick boune- ed, hitting him in the eye. It broke his glasses and several stitches were required to close . the face wound. Miss Loretta Barry was the lucky winner of a lazy -(boy chair at the Nazareth House garden party at St. Marys last week. The annual Retreat for the cler- gy of London Diocese is being held at St. Peter's Seminary, London, is week. Personals: Vincent Morrison, of aterloo, and John Morrison, Lon- don, with their parents, .Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Morrison; Mr. and; Mrs. Frank Stock and children, London, with Mr. and Mrs. Jack Meagher; - Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Steinbach and son, Ronnie, London, with Mrs. , Kathleen . Feeney; Mr, and Mrs Lloyd Etue, Zurich, with Mrs. T. J. Molyneaux; Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Carpenter at Blyth; Mr. and Mrs. Dalton Burns and Gerry at Ottawa; Miss Louise Feeney at London. moved from here nearer to Farqu- har, and some time after it was burned. Another oheese factory 1 was started by Robertson & Dorsey lin 1873 at Carronbrook. ,Besides those already mentioned, there were a few other places land business was carried on here and there throughout the Township. In the, 50's, for a short time, Henry Morgan had a store in his own home on Lot 2, Concession 11, and on the Crawford farm, Lot 15, near the bridge on Concession 12, Tom 'Crawford, a little later had a small blacksmith shop. There was a lime kiln on the Hammond farm, near the Mountain. Mrs. Hammond did the firing herself with heavy bee'h cordwood sticks, which she found made the hottest fire possible. Wil- liam W. Sadler opened a tile yard. a mile and a half south of Dublin on the Centre Road around 1880, and later made brick for a number of years. Joseph Kidd & Son made salt in Dublin from July 1, 1875. Anthony Allen, who came to his farm, Lot 19, Concession 11, in Jan- uary, 1866, quarried stone near the back of it from then till almost the time of his death in 1899. No quar- rying was done there after that. This quarried stone was used for the butments of all the bridges in Hibbert, also for stable floors and some houses. Cheese factories, planing mill, tile and brickyard, salt wells, Wal- ker's butter factory, and the quar- rying of stone, all ceased operation in Hibbert after a few years of service.
