The chief inâ€" dustry was Smith and Willoughby‘s Woollen Mills, which employed from 300 to 400 employees. The woollen mills did an extensive business, but were burned down and never rebuilt. Another thriving business was the flour mill owned and operated by Messrs. C. and W. Wadsworth who had purchased this mill ‘erected by the grandfather of J. T. Farr and who were now busily engaged in producing the then wellâ€"known "Three â€" Lion t1‘%rand” of graham and whole wheat our. J. T. â€"Farrâ€" forsook farming, and spent ten years as a traveller for such wellâ€"known concerns as the Masseyâ€" Harris Co., International Harvest Maâ€" chine Co., selling farm implements. He J. T. Farr was educated at the school in Thistletown. _ On â€" leaving school he assisted his father on the farm until he married. He then enâ€" gaged in farming on his own responâ€" sibility, taking over the entire manâ€" agement of one of his father‘s farms. The chief market for farm produce at that time was Toronto. J. T. Farr reâ€" calls that Albion Road, leading from Thistletown to Weston, was a plank road, then the planking was taken up and gravel laid. Toll gates were placed at different points along the road, and a toll charge levied on each team or single horse. The road was owned and operated by a company and did an exâ€" cellent business. J. T. FARR J. T. Farr, the subject of this arâ€" ticle, is one of the most popular and prominent of the business men in the town of Weston. The family is inâ€" timately associated with the history of the town. In 1814 his grandfather came to Canada from the town of Weston, Hertfordshire, England, and built a grist mill on the banks of the Humber River. At that time there were only three families in the comâ€" munity and the place became known as Farr‘s Mills. "The name was subâ€" sequently changed to Weston in honâ€" or of the birthplace of this pioneer. Thomas Farr, the father of J. T. Farr, was born here in 1822. Upon attainâ€" ing manhood he left the parental home and settled on a farm near Jarvis in the Township of Walpole in the County of Haldimand. There J. T. Farr was born and stayed until he was six years of age. The family then moved to Thistleâ€" town and settled on a farm in that district. The change of residence was made in the winter time and there beâ€" ing no railway connections between the two points, the family with their household effects were transported in sleighs. The story is tinged with the romance of pioneer days. A pole was placed in each of the four corners of the sleigh and heavy blankets strung over them, forming a warm and comâ€" fortable ‘shelter for the mother and children who sat inside, sheltered from the storm. The trip took three days, the weather being very stormy.

The wearing of a flower, the writing of a letter, the pilgrimage to a grave, the especially tender kiss, these and kindred expressions of childâ€"love for mother are appropriate on Mothers‘ Day. To those who have, Mothers‘ Day should be embraced to its fullest opportunity, for there comes a time when Mothers‘ Day makes the heart ache with longing and the sense of a terâ€" rible loss. umm NEWSY 0NA C With Captain Earl Hand at the conâ€" trols of the machine, they were soon winning their way to Leaside Field where they landed and then proceedâ€" ed by taxi to Union Station where they entrained for Limberlost Lodge, Muskoka.

Branch of St. Matthia‘s Church, Westmount, the ‘twoâ€"act comedy play, "Humbugged," was presented to a captacity audience in Weston Town Hall on Friday evening last. The story is particularly adapted to reâ€" production and the many amusing inâ€" cidents were well interpreted by the members of the cast, to the entire satisfaction of the audience. The story was built around the failure of Mrs. Gordon, a pompous society maâ€" dam, to secure the talent for a garden party which she was giving.
