Grant, who has earned the title of historian of Barrie, though located indistant Victoria, B.C., has now added to "his literary work in connection with the history of our county town a great collection of pic- tures. One volume which the editor of The Examiner. has been privileged , _ to inspect contains no less than four , thousand pictures of people and plac- , es connected with Barrie. In addi- tion he has another, thousand ready and hopes_to yet add more. Ultim- ately, it is understood, the volumes , are to be presented to the public lib- , rary.
