Hugill of Hallett brought to The News office this week an exer- cise book, more than 135 years old, which belonged to his grandfather. the late William Hugill; who was a school teacher in Yorkshire. England. The book is of parchment paper, with sheepskin binding. It is appar- ently a sort of text book, all beauti- fully written by hand with a quill pen. William Hugill came to Canada 95 years ago and settled here after a few years near Toronto. Good penmanship must have run in the family, because the old gentle - Man '5 entle'man's grandson, J. J. Hugill, himself now past seventy years of age, is widely known for ability as an expert penman. As a boy of ten, attending S.S. No. 2, McKillop, - he was able to write better than his teachers, and later he took a course in penmanship under the late Mr. Shaw at Chatham busi- ness college, in the days before type- writers had in a large extent sup- planted handwriting in business. He has some very fine specimens of his handwriting as a young man and is still an excellent penman, "Penmanship is an art," Mr. Hugill said. WILL OBSERVE 25TH ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. Chas. E.
