THE DUNGANIION
NEWS
BY THE COUNTRY MOUSE
Yes, I really do. .Most of you will
not even know such a local. Weekly
every existed. But it did. Mr. L. S.
Palmer came to Dungannon in , 19..10
and became proprietor of the paper
with his step-son, Harry Bellamy,
Besides the paper they .carried on a
job printing business. The type
was all set 'by hand and the
typesetter was, Arthur Thompson, a
deaf mute. He was always referred
to as Dummie Thompson. Harry,
Bellamy became Editor on the
death of Mr. Palmer and carried on
for a few years. In 1914, 'he
married Anne Pentland and they'
lived above the office in the
building where Mrs. Jones and her
son live now. , In 1916, Harry joined
the 161st Huron Battalion and 'the
paper was discontinued. He
returned, from overseas in 1917
suffering severe shell-shock. He
did a bit of job printing but the old
Dungannon News was a thing of
the' past.
Recently, an old copy was found
under the linoleum when some
workmen were doing some installa-
tion in a 'house. It was dated
December 29, 1910 and , was very
-dry- and _fragile— „the_ man who
showed it to me valued it and
warned me to handle it carefully.
The first column on the front page
was mostly, names of people , home
for Christmas. I knew most of the
names and'iemember many of the
people. Laurette Roach is one who
is still living. There was a birth
notice in that column, 'Born, at
Rosedale near Dungannon, on
December 18, to Mr. and Mri.
George Harris, a son.' Christmas
was celebrated, quietly?. on Monday,
(December 25 falling on Sunday).
Many young people indulged in
skating on an open 'air rink. Dr.
Newton, dentist, would be in
Lueknow, 'only, in future. He,
advertised the use of sornnoforme
for painless extraction.
The Sunday School concerts of
St. Paul/s Anglican . Church and ,
Erskine Presbyterian were written
up. . Both had similar mixed
programs and the distribution of
gifts. It was the custom at that
time for the Methndist Sunday
School concert to be held on
Christmas night but since Christ-
mas fell on Sunday, they did not
have it then. Apparently there had
been a misunderstanding about it
because. there, were some com-
thents and, air explanation by Mr.
Rutherford, the Presbyterian
minister, I think.. One man running
in the municipal elections had a
card of thanks for support in the
past and 'asking to have it'
continued in the future. The back
page of the paper •had the school•
report of the Junior 'and Senior
rooms.. Again, I remember most of
the names.
There were four general stores in
Dungannon at that time and all had
space for ads, They were, J.
Walkom and Chas. Elliott who ro were on the west side of the street,
and B. J. Crawford and S. J. Young
on the east side. The only one of
those buildings still there is the
store K. Dawson has now. Two of
the stores had Seasons Greetings
only and the other two advertised
sales. Worsted and cashmere
hosiery, 30c to 20c; flannelette, 11c
to 8c per yd:; men's heavy
Penmans shirts and drawers, 95c
each; fleecelined, 40c; ladies
natural wool vest or drawers, 95c
each; hygiene vest and drawers,
20c; mens shoes, $3 to $2; boys
shoes, $1.60 to $1.25; worinen's and
girls' shoes, $2.45 to $1.15. - Other
stores advertising were Geo, Jack-
.
man, tailor, who would also
overhaul furs; W. J. Scott.
jeweller, selling Regina watches;
Wm. McClure, tailor, had large
neck ' scarfs, fringed ends, very
nifty, for 50c;f neckties 25c to 50c.
Donna Bice with an impressive
music degree would take. pupils.
Among other things on the back
page there was, a poem which
ended -
Yes, the New Year is a-comin'
Can't you see it' approaching fast?
Will we say next, year' "Hurrahl
We've 'got railway service at last?'
I am wondering if that was about
the ,time the'electric railway was
built along the roadside ofywhat is
now, highway 21. I can remember
the right of way and the 'tracks
running north from Goderich.
Also, I remember that farmers on
the, Lake 'Shore were ,paying for it
even , after the tracks had been
taken up. As far as I know, there
was never a train on it.
There was part of a sheet of
' another edition of the paper with
part of a bank ad. 'I 'think it was the
Sterling Bank of Canada and the
office was in the south part of K.
Dawson's -store. Another notice
was for 'Photo post cards, 65c per
dozen; comic, birthday cards, 6 for
5c; many other kinds of cards, at
Dungannon Photo Gallery and
Stationery Store. There. was a
warning from, the Postal Authorit-
ies that there could be a fine of $10
to $14 for putting correspondence
in newspapers and parcels.
Charles Elliott was having a sale
of men's heavy suits for $5. He had
Five Star flour, $3 per cwt.; and
Best Family flour, '42.65. B. J.
Crawford warned his customers of
agents who 'can the public

groceries. He sold Redpath best

I think I must have copied that
wrong); 3 lbs. raisins or currants,
