I left.Egmondville at 1 <SMonday
morning' in October 'of i year and
started south,• not kdo :,. exactly
where I might go. Wh' got out
about half a mile from village,
Mr. O'Brien, the grocer r Staffer,
caught up to me with , end
unlike a great many a }divers, he.
stopped to give me a ride ' (Soof

picked me up, but offered'to"take me
any place I wished to. go'ether down
the sixth or the eighth ceoncessions,
so I decided to ask him to 4;jimp me off
at Miles McMillans g to on the
Sixth concession of Uibbert'and about
two miles east of the ohne, be-
tween Tuckersmitth and, ert. In
a very short time we a at. Mc.
Millan's gate. After thai ld tg Mr. O'-
Brien for the ride, I went up to the
house. Mrs. McMillan, whom I used
to know as Mary Hastings, one of
the jolliest girls of Hibbert;: met me
at the door. I told her *rho I was
and she gave me- a most hearty wel-
come, such da her people and the peo-
ple of her nationality know how to
give. I then went out to the field
to see Miles, and although r had not
seen him for over thirty years, he
looked very much the same and called
me by name. He, too, gave me a
hearty welcome, and left his work to
go back to the house with use where
we spent the next two hours talking
over old times, the people we used to
know, and the days when Paul' Boa,
Angus McDonald and Miles McMillan
threshed along the sixth, eighth and
tenth concessions of Hibbert and
Tuckersmith. As we talked of those
who were the older people in my boy•
hood days, I was surprised how few
of them are left, and you may also be
surprised to know That on the sixth
concession from Miles McMillan west
to Jim Gemmell's, or'nearly five miles,
the only ones now living on the line
are Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Wright, both
of whom are standing it well and
looking well. Then there is„.Mr, and
Mrs. Wm. Hudson, now liffaili Hen-
sall; Mrs. Win, Murray, now living on
the fourth concession, and Wm. Scott,
living in Egmondville. Some one may
say what about Pete DeCoursey, of
Dublin, Mr. and Mrs. John Love and
Pat McIver, of the village of Egmond-
ville, and Mrs. Wm. McNaughton, of
Seaforth, and I would say sure, they
are all living and looking fine, but
they are mere boys and girls, the
sons and daughters of some of those
whom we remember as the early set•.
tiers.

lightfully, discussing many things and

fire got so hot that the end of the
house took fire. When the alarm of
fire was given there was quite a coin,
motion. Paul Boa, who was playing
the violin, laid the instrument down
on a bench and went over and look-
ed down the stairway, but instead of
going down, he jumped and landed on
the stairs about half way down and
the stairs went down with him. Some
of the people got quite excited with
the house on fire and no way to get
down but jump; however, some of
the cooler heads got partners for a
dance and Billy Metherall picked' up
the violin and the music and dancing
started right away, and a panic was
averted. There were lots of just as
willing hands downstairs to extin-
guish the fire as there had been to
build it up, and it did not. take long
with lots of snow and water. But
there is still a sad story to tell, for
in less than two weeks, or to be
exact about it, on December 11th,
1890, Joe Connolly, one of the finest
young men of Hibbert township, died
in the house near by, death being
caused by a kick from a horse. But
now to proceed a little farther west
I passed William Burke's and turned
in to see Jim Morris, whom I had not
seen for a long time. I met Jim out
near the barn and had a • fine talk
about old times, after which we went
into the house where Mrs. Morris
gave me a hearty welcome and made
my short stay very pleasant. Before
leaving we partook of some mild
liquid refreshments for which Mrs.
Morris apologized,
best that the lawn
permit. I was ver
a. mild drink, thus saving me the
trouble of refusing, as I have yet my
first glass of whiskey to drink. To
you who do not know Mrs, Jim Mor-
ris I want to tell you something
about her. She was Lizzie Long and'
deserves a lot of credit for the part
she has played on life's stage. When
her mother died in July, 1875, she
was a very young girl; I do not think
she could have• -been more than 12 or
13 years of age, if she was that,
but young as she was she was left a
large part of the care and bringing
up of the younger members of the
family. One sister was just a baby
and her youngest brother, William,
who died in California just a few
months ago, was a very small boy.

Mrs. McMillan announced that din-
ner was ready, and believe me it was
a fine dinner. But just as usual, ow-
ing to a physical weakness or some-
thing of that kind, after I had been
eating for about half an hour I com-
menced to loose my appetite, and
much as I regretted to do so I had tot
stop. Then thanking them for their ,
kindness and hospitality I bade my
hest and hostess good-bye, and if not
expressing it, certainly hoping that
they may live long and enjoy life.
Mrs. Mike Coyne and One of her-
sons
ersons were the first to give us an auto
ride when we came here last fall, and
I would have been glad to call on
them just across the road but did not
do so that day. However, I called on
them since and found that they have
a fine family of six boys and six girls
living, and I have been told that there
are seven of their family' dead. It
seems to me. that if Theo. Roosefelt
had known of Mike's family he would
have shown some appreciation of
their service to the world in doing
their part to prevent race suicide. As
I went west from McMillan's, the
first farm I came to was where Joe
Connolly once lived. There are no
buildings on the place now; but about
ten apple trees mark the place where
the old log house once stood. As i
passed by I remembered being at a
dance in that old log house just about.
32 years ago now; the G'bnnolly's
were not living in the log house as
there was another house on the farm
at that time. The dance was upstairs
in the log house, where there was a
very good floor. Some of those who
did not eAre.to dance sat around the
open fireplace downstairs and kept
a roaring fire going. Most of the
men around 'the fire were smoking
pipes, perhaps some were meerschaum
pipes, but I rather think more of
them were mere sham pipes. How-
ever, the c19 -•d of smoke from the
pipes was just about as dense as
front the fireplace. The stairway was
at the same end+of the house and
landed upstairs just about directly
over the fireplace. Although we
went to the dance with buggies, the
night was quite cold with some snow
on the -ground. During the night the
Great News
For Xmas
It is almost ten years since
we could speak of price reduc-
tions in a general way. But
this Christmas we are able to
do so. Our fall buying has re-
vealed to us that we can sell,
in some cases, for 80 per cent.
less than we could a year ago.
This means that shopping at
this Store will mean a larger
purchasing power for your
Dollar than you have known in
recent years. Added to this we
have a greater variety of Xmas
Goods and Novelties. Every-
one is a "Gifts That Last"
Quality.
Altogether this will simplify
your shopping problems and
make this a very economical
place to do your Xmas Shop-
ping.
And, remember, every article
we sell is Positively Guaranteed,

others on the same line who deserve
a great deal of credit for playing a
similar part in life. Do we give
these people due credit, and do we
recognize their real worth to the com-
munity in which they live and to the
world at large? It tries the patience
of many a mother to bring up her
own family, but what about those
who undertake the care and bringing
up of the children of others who have
been deprived of the care and atten-
tion of one or both parents. The
man or woman, who by effort, earn-
estness and enthusiasm can shape,
direct and influence the lives of the
young in the home or in the com-
munity, and swing them into line
with right and high ideals, can wag
the world, for just as the families
are, so will the communities be and

did not always "have to be exaniine4
on the way 'to towfi; but on •the 1%);,
turn trip it had to be examined sev-
eral times between Seaforth and hiome
to make sure that the contents were
not deteriorating. Strange as it may,"'
seem, the more the jug was examined.
the More the occupants of the little '
wagon seemed to sway backwards end
forwards as well as to the right and
left as they sat in the spring" seat.
However, I never knew of them fall-
ing out or being badly hurt. I have
been told that on one occasion the
wagon reach became uncoupled on
the way home and let the front end
of the wagon box drop down on the
road. The white mare and the front
wheels kept going until Charlie was
pulled out of 'his seat and out on to
the hard gravel road, But he was by
no means dismayed/he simply climb-
ed aboard the front bolster and he
and the white mare proceeded on
their homeward way, leaving Biddy
to guard the remainder of their
jaunting car. I rather think that
Mr. Barr would have a ride for his
life, for that white mare was no old
plug but a fat sleek chunk that could
step out at a lively pace, especially,
on the way home and still faster if
it was getting late. I did not hear
whether the little jug was seized and
went with the- first section, or kept
its usual place in the front corner of
the box.
Now, as I looked' south across the
road from where the red school once
stood, there is nothing to mark the
place where Long's once lived. There
is a frame building farther -back on
the farm which may have been mov-
ed from the corner, but the buildings
at the corner are all gone. I remem-
ber a very fine team Jim Long had.
They were bays with white faces and
white feet. Jim had taught this
team to chew tobacco. He would oc-
casionally stop the team for a rest
and give them a taste of tobacco,
then ease the collars up and wipe
the dirt and sweat from the horses
shoulders and see that no sores were
starting. Jim knew how to care for
his horses. I do not think that many
of the teamsters of to -day give their
horses as much care and attention
as Jim Long did. However, I am not
advocating teaching horses to chew
tobacco, for it seems to me it is bad
enough for the lower animals to
chew tobacco without disgracing re-
spectable horses with the dirty stuff.
Just across the sideroad from Jim
Long's old place 1 saw nothing' to
mark the place where Tommy Lern-
er lived, hip there are some apple
trees where Tommy's father lived. I
do not know whether one of these
apple tree:: is the one from which
Mr. Lamer fell and was so badly
hurt, that he died within a few days_
I do not know the date of Mr. Lurn-
er's death, but itwas about forty
years ago. Some people may think
that I was trying to imitate Mr.
Lerner when the ladder I was stand-
jing on fell over and let the ground
cone up and hit me in the neck while
pulling apples in Egmondville a few
weeks ago, but it was no imitation.
nor was it a reproduction for Lie
moving picture people. Right across
the road from Lerner's, only an
orchard marks the place wlier • T'...•
DeCoursey once lived. I called to
see Matt Coyne. and although many
years had passed since we had met
before, when he saw me he came
right up with his welcoming hand
stretched out and called me by name
just as readily as he would have done
30 years ago. Matt is very little
changed, and I found him the same
happy-go-lucky fellow that he always
was, and his wife and family are
equally cheerful and happy. I have
been back to see them once since that
time and had my dinner, which I
very much enjoyed. After leaving
Matt T could not help crossing the
road and calling on Pat. Morris. Pat
was preparing to kill a pig. hut he
had lots of time to take me into the
house where, for the first time, I met•
his wife. I enjoyed a very pleasant
half-hour with them as well as par-
taking of another temperance drink.
We are still six mil••,- from Egmond-
ville and T have no hopes of making
the rest, of the trip to -night, as it is
now time to go to bed, so will have
to leave to some other time the story
of the rest of my day's outing. I
will now say good-bye to my many
friends whom I may not see in the
near future, for we expect to start
for California in a short time. I
want to thank all the people here for
their kindness and hospitality, all the
good things we hay had to eat, the
many delightful da ' and evenings
we have spent with you ,
pleasant gatherings we babe attend-
ed during the last fifteen months.
Best wishes to you all. -J. A. L.
