Nearly all of nr readers will recog- nize the picture e give this week. Mr Robert Currie as the Arlt resident in this section of aron County. He first saw the light of day in Ktrkonbright in the sontli of S Hand in 1820 end at 20 years of age, iu company with three of his brothers, c e.to Canada. The year the Currie's 1 ded in Montrreal was a memorable one as in that year the Par- liament build nge at Montreal were burned. Mr mesa and his brothers first settled in Guelph township, re- maining there u.ntit 1863 when the sub- ject of this sket.h and two of his broth - era came up to is section and bought their land in W wanosh They return- ed to Guelph T wnship and remained until the follow' g year and then settl- e.i here permano tly. Th s next settler to come in after t o Oarrio's was a Mr. Thompson, who, in the fail of 1854,pnr- chased the farm in Taraberry, now owned by Wrn ens and John Pringle. The country here as then a dense forest no other settlers being in the section, and Mr Ourrie w a told that he was go. ing too far back ad the country woale never amount t anything, lent he was firm in his belie that this setion was alright and h Iived to sea a pros- perous town an farming commnnity. In 1833 air Car ie purchased 200 acres at $2 per acre a d now the property :e assessed at $58 p . aore, a great increase in value. Mr 0.rrie can tell many an interesting story f the pioneer days and the way the early settlers had to work hard to clear up .heir land. Speaking on the increased c.st of lumber, he says that in the early d ye he sold thousands of feet of Hemlock delivered in the log at the mill at $2 ser 1,000• Consider tial with the price ow paid, Mr Carrie has ha his share of muni- oipat honors. He as fires elected a Councillor of Waw: nosh in January, 1857 and served thr a years. He orae Deputy -Reeve in 18'0.61 and Rave iii 1854 05.6e. In 1837 the 1'uwnihup was divided into two +uuioipalitiae—East and West Wawano:11, and Mr Currie was the first Reeve East W.t,vanoeh. From 1877 till 1885 a served as either Reeve or DeputyR eve, and for years has been a Sestiee o the Peace. Dar- ing his municipal ca eer, Mr Carrie had sorra exciting expert noes. IIs can well remember in 1833 hen gravel road between Morris an W;iwaaosh was built by the Gave mous. Tao road was completed to t prairie, south of Wingham and then it was a sticker to got over the river ad so much low land, without heavy expe ase, The Engineer was brought on at d he recommended that tit) road go ea it down the let line of Morris and cher- up the sideroad to what is now` Junction. Mr Currie oauld not stand fo: this and he eat up one night and drc fted a plan to make the road go estar on d the band of the river and come out over where the foot bridge' now stands near the salt works and then known s Graham's bridge. The late Thos Hol es was then Reeve of Wawanoeh an he fought for Mr. Currio'e plan. B ing defeated on this he pat up a fight ;to have the road go straight over the prairie, He carried is point.
