The 1500 trees comprising Pines, Scotch and? Jack, Willows, Elms, Larches, had arrived from the Forestry Departa ment of the Province and were be- ing- planted. In response to the can of the Horticultural president, Mr. Gee, twelve or more of our worthy citizens, volunteers in this service, were on the ground' to help in the planting under the supervision of the department of forestry. And they filled the waste land lying east con- tiguous to the pond, also planted trees south of fihe dump on the wat~ enworks lot, and! had' fifty left for the end of the .park. Our village is to be congratulated upon obtain- ing these trees. As well as to Mr. Gee and' the helpers, thanks are due to Mr. Henry Davis for having pre- pared the ground for the trees. ‘Tlhe Hamilton property at Elgin Mills has changeti hands and Mr. George Hamilton, who has lived in the old home for a number of years, is leaving- to make his home in Delhi, Ontario. with his daughter, Mrs. Manthe.

When kicked by a horse last week, William Hillock, Caledon, had two bones in his hand fractured. FIFTEEN YEARS AGO EDGELEY Wlay 24th in - 1 the Old Days Then there was the patent medi- ‘cine man, selling many preparatiOns 'of marvellous curative, powers. The ‘dritty he sang, “Beeswax and taller, lAunt Jemima plaster, the more you 'try to pull it off, the faster sticks ‘the_ plaster,” reminds me of one of his best sellers. I remember his “song but forget the virtues of the preparation. ‘ ‘Then there was the Lifting ma- ‘chine, 2c. 3. lifit or 3 lifts for a hickle. ‘The scale was set to please, for with difficulty I could lift 30 ‘i'bs. of clover seed‘, Ibut on the ma- ‘chine I lifted: 325 lbs. I was pleased I remember of attending Rich- monldl Hill Fair on May 24 many years ago. Along with a number of other school children, we arcs‘e early and walked the seven miles to see the “Great Fair”. We were equipped with dinners in pockets and 500. for expenses. The exhibits Were horses and some other stock, togeth- er with implements from the nearby foundries of Patterson’s and others and the Wilson Fanning- Mill. ed? in the present d‘ay,’ as well as carriage horses. In a small field! on the Vaughan side the speeding of carriage horses and' drivers» took place, where an amusing event occurred, and nobody hurt. Among- the competitors was a handsome pair of carriage horses driven by a. city man who had tar- ried' too long at the hotels on the ‘way. As he s<pEdl around the ring, 'he sad: upright, with the result that 'hi's outfit was upturned; he alighted! 'on his head'. The only injury was a flattened) :beaver hat. He had the intoxicated man’s good; luck. There mate the usual number of ‘fa-kers present, one of whOm soki a $5.00 bill for 25¢. He put it in an- ‘envelope which the purchaser near- 1y always found empty. He did‘ a flourishing business for a time. with my m and had‘ dreams of being a future Sampson. His pro- fits for the day were cut short when ‘Mr. Solomon Oster, Vaughan’s strong- man, came that way. Mr. Oster did not wish to lift, as he was quite modest in his way of exhibiting his strength. The owner of the lifting machine 'bantered Mr. Oster too much. At last being annoyed, he took hold of the handles of the con- trivance, and with a powerful lift, squarely given, he literally tore the machine to pieces, to the great amusement of the crowd. The day wore on and evening came at last, and we wended our way homewards, and for days we could hardly think of anything but the 24th of May and! wishing the time and the fair would) come round again. There were no binders or self rake reapers in those days, probably they were not thought of. The only inâ€" dication of a change was to be found in the form of a. velocipede, the fore- runner of the bicycle. There was an. exhibit of horses which Would: please all horse admirers, ClydeSdale of fine fiormation, perhaps unequall~ Day 139 Licensed Auctioneer Counties of York and Simcoe Sale: of all delcriptlons conducted upon shortest notice and at. reasonable rams No sale too large and non}; too small King.
