WAY BACK IN FOR'I'Y YEARS AGO From our Issue of August 24. 181"} Quite a severe \\‘irl(l.s‘llll‘lll passed ‘ovcr here on Morday afiei'rcou. On‘ the farms of Yaiidci‘bi'i‘gh Bros. a‘i‘xl‘ Mi". Marsh's peas that were lying il.‘ bunches were thrown up Tl ch-t il‘. the air. and piled ir hcups alongr the fences. 0n Mi‘. .‘IOscs YaiidLi-bui'gh's place a wagon loaded with peas was upset, when the loader. Mr. Morgâ€" asson. was burTed :n the peas. bul‘ fortunately was not injured. The large shop that has for many years stocd in front of Wright's house and ‘which at one time was a carriage shop has been removed. Messrs. L. Inner and Sons have the contract and we understand they are: about to build a driving shed and casket cabinet in rear of Mr. i Wright's residence. It is then the intention to convert the whole space' between the house and street intO‘ a lawn. , It is only a short time since Mr. Wright had his house re- ‘ modelled and painted and this newj improvement will make his already", neat home still more attractive. Ash- i ford is an energetic fellow and has an eye for the beautiful. The Thornhill Band are well satis- ‘ fied with their field day held at th.‘ Mineral Springs Grove last Saturs day. There was a goodly attends‘ ance and the net rece'ipts satisfact-l Oi‘y. The Unionville and Woodbridgci, Bands arrived in good time and were‘, met by the Thornhill players and escorted to the picnic grounds. Each 1 band played separately for a time but afterwards combined and played‘i a number of- airs together to the en-l 1 joyment of all present. The foot-i ball match and other sports as ad-‘, vertised were played off in the af-l‘ ternoion and altogether a very plea. ‘ sant time was spent. , The Board of Education metti Thurs-day afternoon, the principal i work being to select a Head Master for the High School. Eleven of the twelve members were in their places, Mr. J. H. Sahderson, the absent one: being then in New York. There ‘ were twelve applicants for the vac- ant position, and quite a number of those were strongly recommended, and‘ were apparently good men. After reading the applications and testi-I monials, and discussing the qualifiâ€" cations of the applicants, the choice], proved to be Mr. Robert A. Farqu- ' harson, who for the past 71/2 years- has taught in the High School at Kincardine. He is a young man, 31 years of age, marred, and it is con- fidently expected will make a worthy successor to Mr. Coombs, who with has able colleagues have raised the school to the front rank. The Hon. Wm. Mulock, P0stmas- tor-General, travelled by special car] over the Metropolitan Railway On Monday. The trip, it is supposed, was made in connection with the prqpiosed plan for the company to convey the mails over their line afâ€"- ter September lst. THIRTY YEARS AGO From our Issue of August 19, 1909 The Bell Telephone Company have recently “got busy” in this part of- the country, and have installed a number of new phones, including one in the store of Atkinson & Switzer.l one in Mr. M. Boyle’s residence, and- one for D. Boyle, Langstaff. Also phones for C. Topper, Elgin Mills; Post Office, Willowdale; D. M. Boyle and Mr. Scott, Langstaff; Mr. Farr, Mr. Wright and Mr. Gooderham, Thornhill. Mr. W. Hewison and staff are re-- painting the Public School building. The trustees have furnished a numâ€" ber of new seats, and will have both exterior and interior in first-class shape for the re_0pening after vacaâ€" tion. Mr. Thos. Chatbui'n has purchased the blacksmith shop from Mr. James A. Rnse. Maple. and purposes mOVâ€" ing it to the lot north of the Masonic Hall. This will add to the appear-‘ ance of the corner.
