EARLY LIISTORY
An Interesting Sketch Written By
An Early Settler
The following hIs Teal sketch of
Pioneer life In this district was written
by Mr. R A. Graham and will, we be-
lieve, be added in eupplement forth to
the recent "Jubilee Souvenir" wbicb
was published and sold under the aue-
pAces of Sr. Andrews Presbyter.
Ian church. It was Mr. Graham who
wrote the historical sketch on Presby,
tet Lantern in the jubileee souvenir and
this is merely a continuation of that
article wbicb appeared in last week's
issue of T11E AD1'AN('E.
"As we have given a short history of
the planting of the church in the bush,
to its imaneipation from the wilder-
ness into the present conditions of
cleared, fenced and cultivated fauns,
spacious and comfortable dwellings,
good roads, rural routes and market
towns, we will now take a glance at
the kind and conditions of the people
who settled this new country. The
emigrants from the old lands who
came to Canada were not from the
higher nor from the middle classes,
but from the tillers of the soil, mech-
anics and tradeemen, who earned their
living by the sweat of their brow and
who had Little or no ,say in church
matters or the affairs of State. Those
who settled in Wingham audits neigh-
borhood in the township ofTuenberry,
Morris and L.tat Wawanosb, were
meetly from the older eettlehents of
Ontario, farmers who sold their im-
proved farms and came where they
could get more and cheaper lands for
themselves and families. Then there
were young men who had eatned a
little money or whose fathers could
give them a start in the bush. Then
there were those families who had
lately emigrated from the old lands,
some had a little money and some
hadn't mueb, Those families who
came to the bush with money could
let large j be of chopping and clearing.
they soon had good farms with suit-
able buildings, they experienced
very few hardships, The young man
with little money had a lonesome ted-
ious struggle from the time he felled
his first tree till he raised a comfort-
able cabin and had sufficient crop to
support a wife and family. ry. Then
again, there were those who came into
the hush with families of young child-
ren with not much money or provis-
icne erha s notable tobuyyokeof
a
F P
oxen. They might chop in the winter
and exchange work in the summer to
get teams to ao their loggirg. These
families endured a good deal of priva-
tion. As an instance one party wrote
a- letter to friends in the old Iand,
brought butter or egge, to the store
to raise twenty-five cents to pay the
postage. She took the letter home
again no cash for hotter and eggs only
trade, and only some kinde of trade at
that. Another case, a party carried
potatoes to a town, a mile, and sold
them to raise money to pay their
church duce. These are truthful inci-
dents of pioneer life. To make a home
and living in the wooda;requirs d a good
deal of skill and ingenuity. To give
you an idea of how the land was clear-
ed in cutting down the timber the
trees were felled in about half acre
slashes, Hut they were thrown say
from the east side by side parallel to
each other, then from the west, and
again from the north and south,
Some used a spring pole about twenty
feet long, having an iron spike on one
end, to help to throw the trees jnst
where wanted,
The way they built their shantiee
and cabins, they c
ut IoB
abo
ut fifteen
inches in diameter,say thirty feet long
for the sides and eigbtt en for the ends.
These were built up one above another
knotched at the corners, When the
walls were about nine feet high eleep
ere were laid across on which the
chamber floor was laid, then raised 7
or 8 feet higher. The roof was .made
of rrottehe laid across the walls, The
troughs were made by splitting logs
in two, hollowing out the centre.
These were laid side by side backs
d >wn, then as many laid above
and betweeen them backs up
That mace a very good roof,'
Then tbe doors -and windows were
sawed out, Before saw mills were
ereeted in the country the doors were
orale from lumber out with the whip
saw, or split froth the log. Some
email shanties were covered with elm
bade. The sugar, 'syrup and vinegar
were ana ebyy boiling the eat) the
ma fo. Soap was madeb leaching
ashes, and boiling the lye mixed with
grease of some kind. From beginn-
ings such as these have arisen the
happy homes of Canada. We may
search the word over and it is doubt-
ful if we can find a spot where a man
who hae his living to work for, can
reap more comfort front the fruits of hie
labor than be cats at Wingham and the
country that tnrrounde it. Here we
have a fertile soil, a genial Climate, a
peace -Loving, law-abiding people. A
genial sun and refreshing shovers
fertilizes oar fields in the eu mmefa
blanket of snotty tempers them, in the
winter. One civil and religtoite prtvie
leges and educational edvantagee are
not surpaeeed by any nation.

Celebrated 'Their Silver Wedding
Mayor R. C. and Mre, Kittson, oft
Eastside Coos, Oregon, former respect-
ed residents of Wiugham, celebrated
the twenty-fifth annivoreary of their
wedding on June 2nd, and a most en-
joyable time was spent. Their beau-
tiful home was prettily decorated with
callow lillies, white roses, carnations,
huckleberries and wild grape, At
about four o'clock refreshments were
served to about twenty-five guests.
Although the invitations read "no pre-
sents accepted," the presents were
numerous and costly. In the evening
a chicken dinner was served and after
everyone had satisfied the inner nian
they left for their respective homes.
We join with their friends in wishing
Mr. and Mre, Kittson many more
happy anniversaries.
