Reminiscences by Ti. IlloGillicud Barlyj in the year 1873 I decided to establish a newepaper in some oonntry town or village, if a favorable opportunity offered. My capital was not large, aa I had recently been through tbe printer% strike in Toronto, which had somewhat depleted my exchequer ; bat, as I was in my twenty-third year, I bad the ambi• tion of youth with me and confidence that I could make the undertaking a mouse. My brother, Thonue,—some four years younger than I—had also learned the printer's trade, and as he wee willing to become a partner, we at onoe began to look around for a location. In April an edvartieemenb appeared in the Toronto "Globe," whiob atated that the village of Lnoknow was a deeirable place in whiob to establish a weekly newepaper, and inviting correspondence to be sent to James Somerville, who was familiarly known as "the father of Look. now," I addressed 0 letter to Mr. Somerville, but received no answer, Tema afterward, when he and I were oat on the political "atump," be laughingly told me that my letter wae unanswered be. came he thought the eignature wee hogne, as there were no Sootoh Mo. GIllioaddy's Red be didn't believe that any other nationality shonld have the right to me "Mao" in front of a name. About the middle of May another advertisement op/meted in the "Globe" getting forth the advantages of a location for newspaper development. This named Brussels as the Reid of operations, and was signed by J. R. Grant, at that time and for years subsequently, pote0:40e of the village, / wrote at moo to IbIr, Grant, and received a reply stating that no pledges would be given, bat that any person attuning a paper in the village would have a good motion of country to depend upon, and that if the right man watt at the helm, and the right sort of newepaper we; turned out, no doubt the veoture would prove anooessful. Mr, Grant was also dubious about the bona fides ,of my name, evidently ;—at that time it was nob "fanailiar aa a household word." The encouragement given was not panionlarly strong, bat after talking the matter over with my brother, it wee de. oided that I thould take a trip to Brunets, to apy out the land, But here We were met with a dffloulty. Mr. Grant, in big lettet, had stated that 'Intends was in the Owenby of Huton, and the Map Of Huron Octenty did not above the village of Bennett, and the Cenadian Almoner: did net give Brussele outside of Ilaron County, to MoGillieudtly appeared to be known in Brunel; and Luoknow. Bub file fed only made my queet more earneet, and I at ouoe ed to go to Brneeela. With this object in view ,I took train for Guelph, whore 1 intended 10 make publish the tint edition of the paper on further atgolrY. Upon arriving at Ono date, we ;lowed ono that it would be Guelph I met a man from the village of a better advertisement 1.1 the theet if the Clifford, wi) told me that a mehillinnt first number contained a report a the who was doing businese in that place had opening of the railwey. We were agelett formerly resided in Brussels. The name of the merchant was David Mattison, and I found him at Clifford. Mr, Mollison oxplalned to nee that Brussel* we; a newly ineorporated village, which had been epeoially named for the °cession, Previoue to the let of January of that year it bad been well and favorably known by the name of Ainlayville,—hay. ing been milled after Ainlay, the original settler on the Grey toweship side—but the inoorporation had put other notions into the heads of the village promoters, and the new village was inoorporated ander what was oonsidered by the natives to be the more imposing name of Bruseele. It waen't to he wondered at that I could not find the plant on the map. That evening, after a hearty supper, I was driven to Wroxeter by the Clifford livery man, and pat up at a hostelry whiob watt kept by a Boniface who was locally knotvo ae ''Crazy Bit." I found him to be a fairly wethinfortned man, who knew the history of every one for miles around, and who would ask more questions iu a minute than one could wawa in a year. To be fair to him, however, I am boned to say that he never failed to give an answer to any question that you felt like asking him, The answer might not be relevant, bat you 801 60 answer all the eame. That long Sentra r evening, oo the "stoop" ef the hotel, ae "Crazy Bill" oated it, I got the pedigree of nearly every Brneselite of any importance, and a good deal of side bietory of others who were not so im. portant. roe, Patel 8" pin 41liow in order for getting out the Fetter. In the interval the leading men hed deoideti to bold a "thilwaY otlenitill" 10 the villege on Dominion Bey, and al. thongh my brother and I had intended to Next morning when Charlie Nathan, the stage driver, awing his span of bays in front of the hotel, I was ready to get aboard, and after a hearty handshake from "Crazy Bit," I was on my way to Brunets, where the stage arrived about 8 ()look. My first meal in the village was under the hospitable roof of the old North American Hotel, not the present anteater°, but that whiob preceded it and was burind down many yeara ago. "Aunt Bally" Annebrong, ae fine a speed - men of country landlady as one would wish to see, presided at the table, and gave me the latest nears ; and by the time the meal was ended, I knew the etyle, shape end make of the men who were probing the village to the front. After breakfast I called upon Mr. Grant, the postmaster, who oleo kept a drug store amen the way from the hotel at which I was staying. I found him to be an extremely polite and affable person, aomewhat minions, hot a good sort, tater all, and later on, when I knew him better, we became good lriends, and are bo this day. He immediately went around with me and inirodooed me to John Leckie, Dan. McDonald (now Surrogate Clerk of Goderioh, but at that time the legal luminary of the village of Brussels and adjoining townshipa,) big "Pate." Thorium and a hoot of others who comprised the brawn and brain of the district. Those wbom I met made a good impression on me, end I made op my mind to spend a few days longer in Brussels and see more of it. The second day after I arrived Van• atone's mill was "raised," and almost every man in Morris and Grey, for miles bat*, with a sprinkling from Torn. berry, Hallett and MoKillep, was there. It was during the era of "bees" and the raising of Bill V&netone'e mill was a red letter day in Bruasels, eo far as "bees" went. Jim Stretton was "grog boob"— for that time even "quilting bees" were not ran under the auepioee of the W. O. T. IL—and the way the framework of that mill went together was what Jim entheeiastioally termed "a nation to sinners ;" or ea Henry Wordsworth Long. fellow would say, "the morning atm the task began—the evening saw its °loge," I was introduced to every horny fisted eon of toil on tin grounds that day by 000 or other of the leading men, of whom John Latakia, the then Reeve of the village, and at present residing in ''your midst," as the local oorrespondents say, was chief. Before the sun sank to rest that day I bad &goodly number of [mince in nay note bet* which was to form the ntualeue of the sabeoription list of env BM:ISMS POsT.

The day was the 28ed day of May, 1878 and I then and there deoided 18 begin the publioatiort of it newepaper in Bressele early in Jnly.

Dominion Day, 1873, was a great day for Brun:eels. The greod beetled was held in Veustone's mill, whin] had been "raised" en the day before May the 24 and had been floored and auffiaieutly fixed up to nub.° the epread to be laid. It was the only hall in the village at thrtt time that meld accommodate the gueste.
