{This section is written by Elizabeth’s son Walker.}
25 Planted some Dutch top onions. E M S About six o'clock this evening G. H. came and said that
Uncle Joshua was killed. He and his man were burying a large stone, when it rolled over sooner than
they expected, striking Uncle, and hurting him so much that he lived only about two hours. Hhe must
have been hurt internally as Dr Carbert said there were no external injuries of a nature to cause
death. Pa, Ma, Berrie, Minnie, and Gatie went down. Pa and Ma stayed all night. as also did Mrs
Stephenson
�26 Sent a telegram to Maryboro. In afternoon Minnie, Hextall, Carver and I went to Wilcox's.
27 About eleven A. M. Uncle Parker and Aunt Rebecca, arrived having left home this morning. Uncle
Joshua was buried in the Forest Lawn Cemetery about three o'clock. An exceedingly large number
of people attended amongst whom were seven ministers.
28 Pa, Ma, Minnie & Hextall went to Orangeville to hear Uncle Joshuas funeral sermon. Mr
Sanderson preached. There was a very large audience, and the church was draped for the occasion.
The Primitives gave up their service, and Mr Milner, their pastor, attended and took part in the
funeral service. Uncle Parker, and Aunt Rebecca came home with our folks. T. W. Simpson {ie

day.
�13. Very hard frost again in the morning the ice was covered with snow. Sowed some barley. One of
Minnie's hives has 'gone up'. The queen must have died some time since.
14. Sowed turnips
16. Finished sowing barley. They finished all the other sowing sometime since, but left the barley
fearing frosts, as the spring opened so early. Sowed cucumbers. Another of Miinnie's hivies hives
paid off at about 15 cents on the dollar. The frosts do not seem to have injured anything except a few
flowers and also nipped the horse-chestnut slightly.
1878
1878. Carver and I went angling , and got nearly eight dozen trout, they were not very large. A
Sunday or two ago I was left at home to keep house while I was up stairs the bob-tailed maltese
whelp of a cat eat up one of our singing canaries. I was greatly tempted to vent my indignation on it,
but as she is a favourite of Mamma's, I granted a it a reprieve, I had no sooner done so than I
repented of it and went in pursuit of her. but was too late to see anything but her bob-tail going under
The barn, I fired a stone and came very near killing a rooster. On Saturday a kitten about 2 months
old attempted to eat a gosling and I accordingly shot it. I tried to shoot another while I was at the job,
but could only get a shot as it was running at a distance so that I did it no harm. Two or three nights
ago I shot at a couple of dogs which were prowling around. Made one yell but do not know the extent
of the injury it received as it was rather dark. J. W. Simpson.
19 Sun Salisbury Grace and I went to see Sarah yesterday afternoon, it was a wet day but we knew
she would expect us. she is very very lonely Mother intended comming back with us if the weather
had permitted Walker spent the evening at his Uncle Tom's, there has been heavy rain today. We

Lakes where we got a few more trout. Isaac got a very curious bird from a boy, and gave it to Carver.
When we got home found that Aunt Sarah and family had come to stay a few days. Gatie spent the
day at Dunning's.
26. At the Providence Church today the Rev. Joseph preached, and a most remarkable preach he
made of it. His object seemd to be to prove that because he and Mr Hunter were the two most
afflicted men in the country they were not by any means the worst men in the township. he
compared Hunter to the Gallilleans whose blood Pilate made to mingle with their sacrifices, they fell
into bad hands and so did Hunter. He himself he compared to the men on whom the tower of Siloam
fell; they were not the worst men in Judea, but they met with an accident. The cow, I suppose, in his
case answered the purpose of the tower of Siloam. Sam Reid, and Tom Black, Uncle Tom, and
Jessie Walker were here for tea. John, Maggie, and Mary Black called after tea. Salisbury took
Grandma, and Aunt Sarah and family home in the evening. J.W.Simpson

Salisbury and Minnie went to town and took Bondy
1878
to lent to Sarah for a while 31 Peter Alpaugh came to buy bees, but we think it will pay better to keep
them till fall, he offered six dollars & swarms for ten swarms he to find the hives. We miss poor old
Bondy very much.
June 2 Aunt Mary came to tea, also Mr. Luich and old Mrs patullo, Ceclia took tea at Mrs Dunnings

great number of people there about two hundred sat down to dinner, Salisberry had a team there

June 7th Have been home from Toronto over two weeks, and have had a capital though pretty quiet
time ever since. Have been studying ever since pretty steady. Did a little gardening for recreation.
Saw a list of honor men to-day in the 'Globe.' and find that I got first class in classics, for which I am
thankful. There have been a great many plucked, in Arts 70, and ten of those in the last year, Will
�Milner got the scholarship in third yr. Mr Patterson, Mr Griffith's nephew has succeeded in talking
M.A. Convocation begins to-day and ends to-morrow, the Univ. dinner takes place tonight. Degrees
conferred to-morrow. Shall go to it to-morrow if all is well. I must make a trip on the strength of my
safe voyage through the perilous waves of exams, in which so many unfortunate have been
wrecked, some alas of my acquaintances, although I am not much surprised at the fate of some of
them. The most distinguished honors have been carried of by Miss Charles of St Catherines -- good
for the daisies! Attended the laying of the stone of the new Orange hall this morning, but was
somewhat disappointed there were only a few there--only a few {some?} of the faithful. Rev Mr
McKay officiated. T.W.Simpson

Mary Simpson, Mrs I Simpson has been poorly all summer. Mother has had her likeness taken, I do
not think it good she had to sit three times, before it would do, so she was so tired that the picture
does not look nearly as well as it should. We have a nice crop of Plums they are just ripe. We had a
lamb killed today the first mutton we have had this summer

rode with him they called at Minnies and stayed to tea. We have been preparing to thresh tomorrow
but something is broken and they cannot get it replaced in Orangeville, so we shall have the hire the
threshing done
{The following is Walker's handwriting}
September 25th My experience since my last entry in this journal has been somewhat diversified, an
intermixture of periods of farming, reading and idlenes. In July I spent three weeks or more with
Hextall, and helped him to take off the hay and fall wheat. Guess it did me good but I suffered
nevertheless. At home drove the reaping machine and helped to draw in the grain. Pa was taken ill
with inflammation of the lungs two weeks ago, but under the treatment of Dr Washington he has
entirely recovered with the exception of the weakness caused by the disease. A week ago yesterday
I visited Toronto and the great exhibition which was a grand affair. Spent Friday and Saturday most
pleasantly in the city, and returned on Saturday evening. The journey lasted nearly all night, leaving
Toronto at 5:05 and arriving in Orangeville about 12. On the 4th of October I expect to go back to
Toronto to study Arts and Medicine, which will doubtless prevent my hands being idle. Have read
over nearly all my work in Arts once, without which I don't think I should have ventured to take both
courses together, know a chap who tried it-last year and he got plucked. Hope I may not be involved
in a similar ruin. T. Walker Simpson

�July 1 This holiday has been variously observed here. My prinicpal diversion in the former part was
hiving bees. There were four swarms to-day. There have been about three each day for some time.
In afternoon went up to the swamp and was almost devoured by musquitoes. I {have now?} got lots
of strawberries which are very abundant near the lake. The comet seems to be disappearing. The
"{Lise?}" says it is moving away from the earth at the rate of 300,000 miles per day. The {nucles?} is
1000 miles in diameter, and 12,000 at the inner head: tail at least 4,000,000 Guess if it moves off at
this rate there is not much danger of its colliding with our planet unless it takes another round at it.

7 The heifer we bought from Essery calved, the boys are going to raise the calf. They began to cut
hay on the 5th the weather has been showery since and very hot The bees are bussy this season,

August 12 Have been too busy to write in the journal. Mrs Pettitt and her adopted daughter have
been visiting us, they stayed 5 days. Will Milner has been here over two weeks, so we have had a
very nice time. They are now busy with harvest, cutting wheat. Grace is staying a few days at Mrs
Websters Mr Webster left for England last Thursday. George and Joe Webster and a boy who is
visiting there have been here the last 2 or 3 days. We have Allens boy hired and Fred Pevoy, so we
swarm with little boys. Priscilla and her sister Lizzie came on Wednesday. The neighbors are most of
them thrashing. A very inconvenient thing to do in the midst of harvest.
{The following is written by Walker}
Sept 6 Yesterday just as I was setting out for town a very dense smoke began to drift over from the
west- and at the same time the sky began to darken as in an eclipse of the sun. From the position of
the moon, which is near the full, it cannot have been eclipsed by it. so that there must have been
�{ructions?} among some others of the heavenly bodies. When I got into town the lights were all
burning and it was almost as dark as night. The {continued on next page of the diary}
whole sky was a peculiar red colour. and the lamps shone through the coloured air with a peculiar
blueish glow much like that of the Electric light. About half past five it grew quite dark. and it was a
darkness that could almost be felt, the red glow having disappeared from the sky almost
instantaneously. There was great consternation on all sides, a great many imagining that the world
was {illegible} up. Knots of three or four and more might be seen talking together, and while passing
such expressions as "wars and rumors of wars" might be heard. Along the road I was several times
accosted by people asking if I knew what was the matter. The moon, no doubt owing to Sol's
defection, did not give her accustomed light, and so the night for the most part passed in darkness.
Towards morning the darkness gradually vanished, and at the proper time, the sun, no doubt to the
immense relief of many, made his regular exit. This morning saw Tom Reid in town, and he says the
fire is in Luther on the other side of them which is {twelve?} miles or more from here. The clouds of
smoke and ashes was very disagreeable. The weather is very warm and dry, wish we could have a
good rain. T.W.S.
{Back to Elizabeth’s writing}

14 Minnie went to town and brought us a letter from Walker written on board the steamer "Parisian,"
in which vessel he left
1884
May 14 Halifax on the 22nd April and landed at Liverpool on the {sentence left unfinished} They had
a remarkably fine passage, I quote from his letter describing the voyage as it may be interesting to
read sometime "As I told you in letter from Halifax we were detained there The boat got in there on
Monday afternoon, and we went on board and had dinner at six. She did not however go out till
daylight the next morning. On that morning I got up feeling rather shaky, which feeling became more
pronounced at breakfast table, which I was obliged to leave rather hurriedly. The same tale would
�apply to the other meals that day. I spent most of my time in my birth {berth} and a little on deck. The
next day I spent much in the same way excepting that I did not go to the Saloon for meals: had them
in my stateroom. On Thursday I felt a great deal better, but still had my meals in the State room, and
spent a good part of the time on deck. The next day I was all right and enjoyed myself thoroughly.
Sea sickness is not -- was not in my case at least-- anything like as bad as I had expected. I have
often felt many times more uncomfortable under a sick headache. We had fog for the first two days
or so till we got 600 or 700 miles from land. On Wednesday, Thurs-day, and Friday we met and
passed several vessels, the majority of them being large s-ailing vessels. They looked most
beautiful, with all sails filled by the breeze, like large white birds. Our runs up to-day have been as
follows. Tuesday up to noon 76 miles; Wed. 273: Thurs. 315: Friday, 340: Sat. 333; Sun 334:
Monday today 338: We have still some 700 miles to go yet. We might have made better time it is
said, but the Captain does not want to put into Liverpool before Wednesday night, so that some other
vessel may go out on Thursday and he have a weeks holiday. We entered the Gulf stream on
Wednesday, and left {continued on the next page of the diary}
it on Friday. {blank space} Early on Thursday morning we passed a large iceberg to which I am sorry
not to have seen. However none of the passengers as far as I'm aware saw it either. On Friday we
saw several shoals of porpoises, which were leaping out of the water, and very pretty they looked.
On Saturday I had the pleasure of seeing a whale spouting about a couple of miles away from the
ship, and soon after another partly rose out of the water quite close to the vessel. Since there has
been seen nothing of importance or interest. On Saturday night the sea became considerably
agitated and the ship rolled from side to side so much that I hardly got any sleep. All day yesterday,
although the sea was quite smooth but for the swell, the same rolling was kept up, and I was very
much afraid that I was going to be sick again; However the wind freshened through the night and
they put up some sail which steadies the ship. She is said to be the steadiest that crosses the
Atlantic. I have a very nice state room along with a young Englishman who is on his way home. He
was worse sick than I, although he had crossed before. Our Stateroom is one of the most
comfortable on the vessel. The accommodations are splended. I'm glad I took your advice and got
some lemons, for lemonade is the only thing I care to drink for the tea and coffee are simply
execrable. The ships supply of lemons ran out a day or two ago and now I'm almost the only one
who enjoys that comfort. There are about 80 Cabin passengers, I'm convinced that this is a much
more pleasant time for crossing than a month or so later, when it is so hot, and the vessel crowded.
There have been as many as 200 Cabin passengers on board this vessel. Yesterday we had service
on board in the morning; the surgeon read it.

Saturday 28th as Salisbury was driving to Orangeville in the wagon, the sun seemed to shine so

---------MONO CENTRE----------Correspondence to the Advertiser. An instance of neighborly regard and good-feeling was exhibited
at Mono Centre a week ago Tuesday evening, when a representation of the adherents of the
Methodist church waited upon Mr. and Mrs. J.H. Simpson at their residence to express regret at the
loss of their old neighbors, who are removing to Orangeville. An exceedingly pleasant evening was
spent, in the course of which several speeches were made by gentlemen present, and a
presentation of a copy of Matthew Henry's Commentary and a set of china was made Mr. and Mrs.
Simpson respectively, accompanies by the following address: To Mr. and Mrs. Simpson,---Having
heard with deep regret of your proposed departure from our midst, we, the members and friends of
Ebenezer church, desire to show our appreciation of the services so freely and generously rendered
by presenting to you some slight memorial of our regard and esteem. We recall with feelings of
pleasure many delightful associations in which you have taken part and into which you have infused
new life and vigor by your sprightliness of mind and congeniality of disposition, but above all do we
wish to express our gratitude for the readiness with which you have given your hands to every good
work. By your removal from amongst us the church loses two of its most promising members and
ever-ready helpers. But that this memorial may not altogether consist of empty thanks for good
received, we desire, in the presentation of this Commentary and set of china, to give you a more
tangible proof of our esteem, trusting that you will not consider the relative value but rather regard it
as a feeble expression of good-will on our part. With sadness do we part from you; often when you
are gone will our minds conjure up old associations, the remembrance of which will fill our hearts
with joy and gladness. In departing from our midst you carry with you our best wishes for your
temporal and eternal welfare, and we hope and trust that wherever you may choose a home in the
future kind friends may never be wanting; and when the sands of life are run you may receive a
crown of life that fadeth not away. Signed on behalf of Ebenezer church----W. AURTHER, J.

Marshall to read the following address and 'mine host' to make the presentation to Miss Grace
Simpson, the retiring organist of Providence Methodist church, Laurel circuit: To Miss Grace
Simspon: Dear Friend, --Having learned of your intended removal from our midst in the near future,
we feel that we cannot allow you to do so without expressing, in some tangible form, the high esteem
we have for you, and avail ourselves of this opportunity to do so. In removing from the home of your
childhood and the neighborhood of your early womanly association we assure you that you are
leaving behind many warm-hearted and true friends. Our esteem for you is founded, not alone upon
your own personal worth, but also upon your faithful and valuable services so cheerfully rendered to
the church. In acknowledgement of the same we ask you to please accept this offering as a token of
our friendship. As you look upon it, in the days to come, we hope you will value the same, not on
�account of its financial worth, but as a reminder of the days gone by and of your many friends while
acting as organist in our church. We earnestly pray that your life may be long spared, that the church
of Christ may be benefited by the exercise, on your part, of the special talents with which you are
endowed. In a few well chosen words Miss Simpson replied to the address, thanking the friends for
their great kindness, assuring them that what she had done for the church and those present was a
labor of love. The chairman then called upon Mr. Geo. Lightle to read the following address, and
Miss Marshall to make the presentation to Mr. Saulsbury Simpson: To Mr. S. Simpson: Dear Sir, -Your many friends here assembled avail themselves of this opportunity of conveying to you, not only
the greetings of this particular season, but as you have recently crossed the lines of bachelorhood
and taken to yourself a help-mate, we extend to you and your spouse our most hearty
congratulations. We trust that your union will be a blessing not only to yourselves but to our
neighborhood and the church of Christ in our midst. At this particular time we here thought it proper
to give you, in a visible form, some assurance of the esteem in which you are held by us, and we ask
you to kindly accept this token of our friendship, and appreciation on our part of your valuable
services so faithfully given to the cause of Christ in our community. We sincerely hope that your new
relation in life will not prevent you continuing those services and that your beloved partner may assist
you in your noble work. We hereby extend to Mrs. Simpson a hearty welcome and earnestly pray
that her coming into our midst may prove a great blessing to all. Mr Simpson suitably responded to
the address and presentation, after which all had a hearty shake hands with the newly made bride.

SIMPSON.--- William Simson was born in the township of Garafraxa, July 29, 1869. Death took him
on November 5, 1895. With his parents he moved to Spence township, Parry Sound District, Ont.'
when a child. Of pious parentage, his life was influenced in the right way. Eight years ago he was
converted to God during meetings conducted under the late Rev. Wilson McDonald. His life since
then has been that of a consistent Christian. His kindness and sympathy endeared him to all who
knew him. He was true and upright in all his dealings. As evil habits were not contracted in youth,
these did not trouble him. As a member of the Methodist Church he was ready for every good work.
He was a teacher in the Sabbath school. Death came suddenly. While hunting, his boat was upset,
and his body was found on the following evening. No accident heretofore in this community filled so
many hearts with sorrow. The large attendance at his funeral showed the esteem in which deceased
was held. Much sympathy is felt for his relatives in their loss, especially for his aged father, Mr.
Leviett Simpson, and his sister, who, with himself, made up his home. 'Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they shall see God.' "

learned, through the columns of the ADVERTISER last week, of that gentleman's proposed removal
to Deseronto. It was for the purpose of giving personal expression to this regret that a number of the
leading professional and business men of the town assembled in the Queen's hotel dining hall on
Tuesday evening and spent a few hours in honoring Dr. Simpson. The Queen's has always been
noted for the excellence of its cuisine and on this occasion surpassed even itself. The tables were
loaded with all the delicacies of the season and, needless to add, ample justice was done the
sumptuous repast. When the last course had been finished Dr. Henry was called to the chair and Dr.
Fraser to the vice-chair, and the usual toast list was then discussed. All the speakers testified to the
high esteem in which the guest of the evening is held by all who have the honor of his acquaintance,
and, while regretting his removal from their midst, the kindest wishes were expressed for his
prosperity and success in his new home. Dr. Simpson, in reply, expressed his appreciation of the
courtesy extended to him and his sorrow at parting with such an hospitable people. The medical
profession was represented by Drs. Jas. Henry, Chas. M. Smith, H.D. Fraser and F.W. Lewis; the
bar by Messrs. W.L. Walsh, Geo. Robb and F.G. Evans; the dental profession by Drs. F. Frank and
R. Meek; the banking interests by Messrs. H.H. O'Reilly, H.T. Wills and W.S. Waugh; the mercantile
and manufacturing interests by Messrs. W. Johnston, Thos. MacADam, J.S. Leighton, J.C. Fox, H.
Gillespie, T. Stevenson, W.R. Hewat, J.R. Dodds, Geo. McIntyre, D.B. Brown and F. Barnhart; the
C.P.R. by Mr. J.C. Browne, and the press by Mr. W. Wallace. -------{Back to Elizabeth’s writing}

{The page contains two newspaper clippings. The first is another identical copy of the 50th wedding
anniversary of Parker and Rebecca Lowry announcement typed out several pages back. The other is
the following:}
�HISCOCK.---Harriet Hiscock was born at Ashmore, Dorsetshire, England, in the year 1801, and died
at the residence of her son, Henry Hiscok, Egremont, county Grey, Ont., on August 20, 1896, being
in the ninety-fifth year of her age. Her father was a prominent official in the Methodist church in
England, and a man respected and beloved in the community where he resided. Harriet was
converted to God in the land of her nativity when about twenty years of age, and united with the
Wesleyan church. She spoke to the writer, among her early recollections, about her cherished
associations with Methodist ministers and others. She was united in marriage to her now deceased
husband in England, who preceded her to the heavenly land some forty years ago. They came to
Canada and settled near Guelph when it was a mere hamlet, in 1835. She loved her Bible, reading it
with prayerful attention, and was sustained by its promises, which she counted exceeding great and
precious. She regarded trouble and trial as sent for her good. She cherished the means of grace,
often walking five miles when the country was new, to attend a place of worship, and she was faithful
in attending as long as strength would permit. Private prayer was her delight, and she told of
remarkable answers to her prayers. She had no fear of death, but longed to get home. On one
occasion she exclaimed, "Oh, I had such a vision of heaven; I'll soon be at home now." Not long
before her decease she told of being visited by an angel, the expression of whose countenance wa
unspeakable benign, and that she had a foretaste of heavenly bliss. Thus she passed away
triumphantly, to realize what it is to be there. Two sons only out of a family of ten survive her. John
R. Issac.
{The following is a newspaper clipping:}

�as the page. The bride was charmingly gowned in soft white satin with silver garland trimming, and
train lined with silver tissue. the Limerick lace draping the bodice and sleeves was the gift of Miss M.
Lucas; that on the train being presented by Mrs. Buck. The bridesmaids' dresses were of white soie
de ninon, over soft white silk, and they wore hats of blue chip, with wreaths of blue and pink-shaded
hydrangea. Their bouquets of pale pink carnations, tied with pale pink ribbons, and jewelled dagger
pins, were the gifts of the bridegroom. After the ceremony, a reception was held by the bride's
parents at "Holmhurst," and subsequently the newly-wedded couple left for Novering's Court, near
Ledbury, kindly lent by Mrs. Buck for the honeymoon. The bride's travelling dress was of Saxe blue

<h3><span></span><span class="mw-headline">Failure on the part of the sender of a letter or post card to comply with the above, such letter or post card will be sent to the dead letter office.</span></h3>
<p>Wherever possible and procurable, stamps on which the words "War Tax" have been printed should be used for prepayment of the "War Tax," but should ordinary postage stamps be used for the purpose they will be accepted.</p>
<p>The "War Tax" Stamp should be affixed to the upper right-hand portion of the envelope or post card. Circulars, catalogues, newspapers, and parcels are not subject to the "War Tax."</p>

<p>{Printed poem inserted between pages}</p>
<p>THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH. (1924 MODEL.)</p>
<p>Under an ad for gasoline</p>
<p>The village smithy stands;</p>
<p>He's agent for the Jinx machine</p>
<p>And several other brands.</p>
<p>He hasn't shod a horse for years,</p>
<p>For fear he'd soil his hands.</p>
<p>He wears a gold watch on his wrist,</p>
<p>A pearl pin in his tie, His links are made of amethyst,</p>
<p>The finest he could buy.</p>
<p>There's not a thing the smithy wears</p>
<p>That doesn't please the eye.</p>
<p>Week in, week out, from morn till night,</p>
<p>He sees the autos come</p>
<p>With brakes that are not working right</p>
<p>And axles on the bum.</p>
<p>With gas, repairs, and grease and oil,</p>
<p>He makes a tidy sum.</p>
<p>He has a staff of skillful men</p>
<p>That number twenty-four,</p>
<p>Who toil from six a.m. till ten</p>
<p>And sometimes even more.</p>
<p>The smithy never does a stroke-</p>
<p>He thinks that work's a bore.</p>
<p>The children coming home from school</p>
<p>Look in at the open door,</p>
<p>And laugh to see some city fool</p>
<p>Set up an awful roar</p>
<p>When called to pay some whopping bill</p>
<p>The smith has soaked him for.</p>
<p>He goes on Sunday to the kirk,</p>
<p>His mind quite free from cares,</p>
<p>Because his men are hard at work</p>
<p>With punctures and repairs.</p>
<p>And if the weather's fine and warm</p>
<p>The smith says grateful prayers.</p>
<p>Oiling-refilling-repairing.</p>
<p>Onward through life he goes.</p>
<p>And never once despairing</p>
<p>So long as his income grows.</p>
<p>Each night the thought of some one done</p>
<p>Augments his sweet repose.</p>
<p>- Percy Waxman in Harper's.</p>

<p>Lindsay. May 2.-(Special.)-The Rotary Club of Lindsay, having inauurated a "Boy's Week," set apart yesterday (Thursday) as "Loyalty Day." The afternoon was in reality a half-holiday. A well-devised program was carried out. First a monster parade of over 800 boys, following the Lindsay Collegiate Institute Cadet Band, marched in procession through the principal streets of the town. The procession was drawn up at the Armories and adresses were delivered to the boys by Walter Reesor, Vice-President of the Rotary Club, in the absence of the President.</p>
<p>SCHOOL IS SATISFACTORY</p>
<p>Owen Sound, May 2.-(Special.)-The final inspection of Owen Sound's new vocational school was made Friday morning by members of the firm of architects and members of the Board of Education. The new school building is satisfactory in practically every respect, and the achitects from London expressed themselves as very well satisfied with the work which has been done in Owen Sound.</p>
