Editor .Advance-Times
In • a recent number of the Ad.;
vance-Times, we noticed an inter-
esting letter from an old
ham Bay, It awakened some nld-
time memories; which we might
pass on to the readers of "all thin)
Wirigham paypurs,"
I was a visitor at- the Winghare
Fallyair, last !September,. which is
now held on ground originally. laid
nutby a •far-sighted government for
a market square for the Town of
Wingham.. •
Though picturesquely situated on
the banks Of the Maitland, it 'would
be better suited for's, picnic ground'
or a motor camp for Nourists, than
as a business 'centre for an ambit-
ious town • like Wingham, The
management of the T, Society,,
„deserve credit for the erection last.
summer of a biulding for the im
door exhibits.
While not as imposing as some
of the structures down at the
C.N.E., nevertheless it marks an
era of progress in the history of
the Turn'berry Agricultural Society.
Now, perhaps everyone doesn't
know that the Pair Building is on
the .ground which belonged to Mr.
T. G. Jackson in the early clays, on
which he put up a Very large
building—labor and material were
both cheap in those days. We im-
agine he must have taken his idea
from the stately mansions of old
England, his ,native land, for be-
sides a large store in the front
part, he had a good sized hall over
the kitchen and living rooms at
the back. Mr. Snell was correct in
saying• that this was where the
first Sunday School meetings of
the Methodists were held.' The
Presbyterians had the use of Corn-
yn's Hall, which was above an open
shed, which was occupied by the
horses and ()ken, the only mode of
transportation in those early'times,
Mr. Jacksenh while not the firat
mrrehant in town, was the first to
go through the countryside with
his wares, with horse and rig. The
writer was standing one day,.on
the platform, in frpnt of Peter
Fisher's old grist mill. Mr. Jack-
son came out of his store, Which
was just opposite, and, headed up
town, with the likely objective
being the Post Office, which was
then on the corner, where Chap-
man's tannery was situated in the
early days. Just • opposite, where
Mr. King now resides, stood, an
hotel, and next to it wt's a shed,
where we used to put our teams
when,waitng for grists at the mill.
A recent thaw, followed by a drop
in the mercury, and made she
going rather slippery near the old
shed, and his feet took a sudden
notion to go faster than the rest of
him, and down he went "Kerflop,"
but he wasn't hurt, only as far as
dignity was concerned, for he had
a good soft cushion to drop on.
He picked himself up, and looked
around to see if anyone was look-
ing, and then Went on his way re-
joicing.
I mentioned before, that the first
Sunday School was held in Jack-
son's Hall. A boy of my acquaint-
ance, named Jack Strattan, who at-
tended there, invited me to go with
him, I Went, and although but a
small chap then, I have a vivid re-
collection of that visit, I don't
knoW who was superintendent but
Mrs. Jackson was leader of the
singing, She had a piano, the first
time ever heard or had seen one,
Her son Willie, stood beside her,
!and took the refrain of that beauti-
ful !old hymn, "What, - never part
again." The next time we noticed
Willie was at the first tea meet-
ing in the new Methodist Church,
He recited the 13th Chapter of 1st
Corinthians and did it well, People
said then he Would make a clever
man, perhaps a little too clever,
for after a time when the family
moved out Weak he became mixed
up to the Louis Mel Rebellion
the 80's, It was 'rumored he acted
as secretary for that noted chief-
tain,, more we imagine for love of
adventure than because he bated
anything 'British.
When Fisher's old mill was de-
stroyed by fire, Jackson's store
came near going too. It caught
several ernes, but they managed
to put it. out. However it, did go
