Impetus ''was given to the growth
of the ;village by,the surveying Of the
road to Kinloss in 1863. . Ten years
later the village was incorporated,
and Mr. Treleaven related the rivalry
between. the 'Counties , of Bruce and
;;Huron to determine in which county,
the village would be incorporated. Lo-
cally opinion .,was so •divided that. a
vote 'on the matter` resulted in a tie.
Ati appeal was made to the Legisla-
ture to, decide the issue, with Bruce
getting the.' village. Those in 'oppos
ition claimed that R- M. Wells, who
represented. South Bruce at 'the time,
used . undue pressure to gain his ob -
• jective. •
The first . council included Males l'
Campbell, • reeve, and . Councillors
:Thomas Lawrence, Charles gooney,
Alex McIntyre and Walter Treleaven.
Mr. 'Burgess was the first clerk and
treasurer,. •,
Mr. Campbell, as first merchant.
kept 'everything and anything. Among
his first opposition were such men a.
Walter: Armstrong, John Treleaven,
Al'ex'Murray, Charles Secord, Bingen-,
and Little. These were honest, •,:en-
terprising, substantial "men, said the
speaker, deeply. interested in the wel-
fare of their town. Such men, of
equal calibre, as John and George
McHardy, 'lilerr Bros., Tweed 'slid
Smith, and Robert Graham followed,
until at one time this village grew
to a population of 1500.
Early industrial activities, included
the Somerville flour mills purchased
by Walter Treleaven, and in which
family it still remains today, Mr:
Treleaven also ,built a sawmill on the
present MacDonald site. At this time
there Was .the • Burgess and Hunter
planing mill; Lees and Douglas wool
len .mill; Hugh ' McKay's Iblacksnuth
on the United Church corner; Cam-
eron and Miller wagon factory;, Jos-
eph Little's shoe store, employing as.
;;many as 8 :and 10 cobblers; Joseph
Grenache's shoemaker's slum' and the
Grassick Harness shop, followed "by,
Proctor, Alex Ross and Gallagher.
There Was the tannery and five grain
elevators, with farmers standing for
hours to unload their grain.

GYPSIES MENACE:
AGED LADY
Two buxom gypsy ladies who in-
truded the home of Mrs. David Gillies,
east of Lucknow last week, proved
themselves' very 'undesirable visitori,
and 'their brazen manner was an up-
setting ordeal' for this aged''lady.
Asking for a drink 'of water, the
ladies declined to drink at the pump
and insisted on coming into the house
for pit:, There first enquiry when in-
side was' as to where . the roan of
the house •was, and the fact that Mrs.
Gillies' son was' nearby on the prem-
ises probably had a deterring effect
on the gypsy 'visitors 'pressing their
demands. ,
They wanted money and Mrs. Gal-
les' purse and finally -before they un-
willingly left empty handed tried to
insist. aeon. taking 'a table cloth off
the table
