The last industry of the Williamson time was the steam sawmill built among the pine forest near the south:sid^e , Ridge by Mr. John Campbell, of Brooklm, Ontario. For years this mill did great work in making the giant pines into Jum her which was drawn by horse teams to the Bowmanville harbor and sold for ÿo per thousand--clear lumber. If an yjfnots were in it the price would be less. Not a vestige of one of these institutions is left and only the old settlers will ha Y e knowledge of their location or existence. [The place where Campbell's steam mills formed the nucleus for a small village, village, has for many years borne the very euphoneous name of Podunk. It was the scene of a charcoal manufactory operated by Jackson Elliott whose father- was a character well known as Old Yankee Elliott, Elliott, a great story-teller, as those who knew him will well remember.--ED. U. a.) I might also mention that Uncle Joe Thomas started a little grocery in a part of his old log house, but finding no customers customers he soon gave up the enterprise. Long Black Thimble Berries Growing in rich abundance on the Pine Ridge, especially where the great hurricane hurricane passed over sixty years ago felling a swath i mile wide and perhaps hundreds in length, not leaving a tree or a building standing when it had passed, "were S reat black thimble berry patches. .The people for miles around would go in groups with all kinds of utensils and pick large Quantities Quantities of this fine fruit. I have found them so plentiful at times that I could fill a 12 quart pail in an hour alone. For years after I left thé farm and had moved to Brooklin, every year our young people would have a picnic party to the Pine Ridge and pick blackberries. We would start at 5 a.m. with a four-horse team and band waggon filled to overflowing overflowing with as jolly a crowd of all ages as you ever saw. Many others would go m single buggies, especially those who, like Pat, always preferred to be alone, especially especially when his sweetheart was wid him. Between picking berries, playing games, C.

We always calculated to get out of the woods and past the big- hill it the saw mill east ot Chateauguay before dark. Then we did not care how long it took to get home. Referring to the big whirlwind, my father and my uncle were making shingles in the pine woods and only got out of the road of the great storm when it passed. On going back next day not a tree could be found standing where thev had been working the day before. Among the people who lived at the Steam Mills in those early times--50 to 6o years ago--were the sons of the ^proprietor--Alfred, ^proprietor--Alfred, Nathan and B. F. Campbell who took turns in the management Mr. and Mrs. Robert Smith and two daughters, daughters, Ellen and Charlotte; Mark Crawford, Mr. and Mrs. John James and family; the Bates family; Mr. John Cryderman, whose daughter Maria became Mrs. Daniel Knapp; Mr. Charles Spicer. Later on several more came to live in the village in the pines. The present Podunk is a quiet hamlet in comparison with the lively times when the lumbering industry was at its height. Visit to Bowmanville One of the treats of my boyhood days was a trip of 12 miles to Bowmanville. This was made when I had to have a new pair of boots or something which mother could not make on the farm. Most of our clothing was made by mother and sisters who spun the wool and wove the cloth and made the garments such as they were. I well remember the old frame sjore in Bowmanville which stood on the righ. hand corner of the main street and the gravel road leading north to Hampton and Enniskillen, and near the old gris . mill. Here Simpson & Burk conducted business. I cannot recollect whether they were partners or one succceeded the other in the business, but I think the latter. Then Mr. Samuel Bradshaw, a one- armed man, had a shoe store further éast (in the present James Block probably), and still further H. O'Hara had his picture gallery; here I had my first picture taken. On the street north of the main street a Mr. Ned Silver had a furniture shop and a turning lathe run by one horse. My aunt, Mrs. Blodget, with her son, Wash Blodget, lived for many years just op-i posite. Bub Silver, as he was called, and my cousin were great friends, and so I came to know the Silver family.^ I also had an uncle Elias Preston who lived in the place in the early days. Potter's Graveyard The old graveyard was the highest point of land in our section and was located at the south end of the Potter farm and overlooked overlooked a large section of country. It was given by old Mr. Potter for the purpose. In those times people could afford to be sick and die. We did not have to pay $25 per week for a t r ained . nurse; the kind neighbors all lent a hand when necessary, sitting up nights and helping in the work by day. An occasional visit of an Enniskillen Enniskillen doctor was about the only expense in time of illness. When death came Wm. Chapman, the only carpenter in the place, made a board coffin, painted it black and lined it with cheap w hite ma- terial, and he charged $2 for it. Eben Potter dug the grave for nothing, and all the community for miles round went to the funeral and all were real" mourners and sympathizers. In my early days not a single marble stone marked a' grave but a planed board, sometimes painted, marked the. spot. One such had the name on composed of nails with large brass heads and read Rose! Seaton, some one I. never knew but I never forgot the brass nails and name. He lived some miles west of this settlement. settlement. I understand most of the bodies have been moved and the old graveyard is a part of the farm again. Wild Game Plentiful In my boyhood deer and foxes were plentiful, and an occasional bear .would render assistance to some farmer by devouring devouring a pig or doing other depredations on the animals.

WELL THATÏ A GOOD JOB! ïW'i 'ri y yy to and it will last, too The way to estimate the cost of keeping your house properly painted is to divide the cost of paint and labor by the number of years the paint will last. Brandram-Henderson's 'English* is the paint of longest service - the 100 per cent pure paint - because it contains 70 per cent Brandram s B. B. Genuine White Lead and 30 per cent White Zinc, ground in pure linseed oil, turpentine > and dryer for all paints that can be made on a white base. Figure its cost, not merely by the space a gallon will cover but by what it will keep covered.. To the painter the formula of B-H "English gives a-feeling of confidence from the start.
