A deep well of little use was on the Hugh H. Anderson property. This was useless for the fire engine as the suction hose would not reach the water and it has since been filled up. At Dr. Millward‘s was an eightâ€"foot well that was never failing in ordinary circumstances but would not last more than a couple of hours at best for the fire engine. George VanDyke on Mountain street had another good well; John V. Vanâ€" Dyke at the corner of Depot and John streets had a third; and one at the Adam McGregor house at the corner of Oak and Eim streets was the fourth of the wells that are still being more or.less used. _ i young calvves, 50c each; three calves, $1 the lot; one twoâ€"year heifer and ]four cows (three,fresh), from $2 to | $6 each; one disc harrow, 30¢; one.cutâ€" ‘ter, 25¢c; one buggy, 10¢; one ‘set sinâ€" gle harness and one set double harness 20c for the lot; one circular saw, 35¢; one cneâ€"furrow plough, 30c; one twoâ€" furrow plough, 80¢; a lumber wagon 50c.

The old "foundry well" and one put in later on the N. J. Teeter property on main street west, opposite the United Church. The town â€"pump was an institution in the days of notâ€"too long ago. In fact New England Yankees did bring offenders "up before the town pump", â€"a survival of the ducking _stool. And might I remark that the ducking stool would not be amiss in this day? The text ‘of the. service this week is "The Old Town Pump". This article was written for The Independent in 1924 by the late A. M. ‘"Doc" Millward and is printed herewith in its entirety without any changes of any kind. It will be noticed that some of the people mentioned have died since ‘1924 and others are not now in business in Grimsby. Ten years makes a lot of changes. ‘"The old oaken bucket, The iron bound bucket, § The moss covered bucket That hangs in the well." It is related that George McNinen once said that if certain parties did not leave him alone he would "bring them up before the town pump." ~For having in his possession a can of alcohol in his motor car while drivâ€" ing on No. 8 Highway on Sunday, Harry Oswald, ‘Toronto, in Magisâ€" trate‘s Court at St. Catharines, was fined $10C or three month.

Resident pumlac mnu.l Passed Away Monday In the early eighties the Grimsby Methodist Camp ground was a great moneyâ€"making institution. The Rev. T. DeWitt Talmaje, Dr. Spurgeon, Sam Jones, J. W.. Bengough, Miss Schumaker, and many other notables were big attractions, and as there were no automobiles those days the old Q. & G. road through Grimsby was literally crowded with horses on Sundays when any of these attractions were advertised to appear. The kids around town (I was one of, them) used to come early to the ‘"foundry pump‘"‘ with one, two or three Shorse pails" to water the horses of those going to "camp meeting". The council of that dry year were (to be facetious) rather inclined to be dry too; John H. Grout, reeve, Wm. Forbes, Eugene Udell, C. J. Bates, J. W. Duval; and Mr. Grout made (as an individual) a proposition that if the council would put up $40, the firm of John H. Grout & Co. would pay the balance to dig a well and put in a pump. I do not think anyone with a hazel switch was invited into the conferâ€" ence â€" Mr. Grout did not believe in such flummery, â€" and to those who knew him it is needless to say that he located the spot for the well. <Intuiâ€" tion or study matters not the why. It proved a wonderful well as future use showed. The need of water was almost apâ€" palling; six families were using the Millward well; everybody on John street and several on Depot and Vicâ€" toria were using the John V. VanDyke pump; the George VanDyke well on Mountain street was a .veritable Mecca; and Tallman Cole hauled many, many barrels of water from the lake. Again history repeats itself. Richard Shannon is now chief engineer of the waterworks pumping station. In 1889 he watched the town for fire. Fortyâ€" four years later he still protects the town by having at his command a set of highâ€"pressure water pumps. the folloWing'jnformation in regard to the law governing the angler activiâ€" ties.

The summer of 1880 was a particuâ€" larly dry one and Richard Shannon had been appointed as a nightâ€"watchâ€" man in case of fire; and "Dick‘s" one relaxation from the monotony of his rounds was to spend a few minutes with the men delving in the stiff blue clay just east of where the entrance to the Grimsby Garage now is.

A son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Stuart, ie was born on the farm where he B&d spent his entire lifetime. During his residence in the community he eo:»manded in large measure, the respect and friendship of nis fellow citizens and a wide circle of friends throughout the district by whom he was held in the highest reâ€" gard. A large circle of friends‘ learned with sincere regret of the passing on Monday, April 30th of James George Stuart, a prominent resident of the township, which occurred at his home near Grassie. To day, about six feet from where the old pump stood there is a most modern gas pump. Shades of Noah Phelps and Manley Benson! Think of that old town pump that supplied water for the horses drawing the dolâ€" lars to Grimsby Park, and then think of the modern gas buggies that stop at theâ€"same old spot; get gas, and â€" well, Grimsby Park is no more; there is no pay gate at Grimsby Beach; and ninetyâ€"nine per cent. of the cars that get gas at this "town pump" do not stop anywhere between Grimsby and Niagara Falls â€" except of course local buyers. About 1912 a garage was opened in the east wing of the building that John H. Grout & Co. had built in 1880 â€"now perhaps better known as The Independent block. In 1913 Brock Snyder bought in with Watson and they put in the first gasoline. pump at this place. It was not the first in town but it was the first to replace the old foundry pump. "As time went on, as time will do" the ~denizens â€" yes, denizens â€" of Grimsby voted favorably on a waterâ€" works byâ€"law, and in 1905 the town pump became an ~institution of the past. Not that it has any bearing on the question, but it might be remarkâ€" ed in passing that J. W. VanDyke had installed a private water system in 1898. And another point in passing (might as well get our name in print) the burning of the Millward house in April, 1906, was the first fire after the village waterworks had been estâ€" ablished. (Isn"t it great Mary to get your name in the paper.) Crude sarâ€" casm perhaps. But it is just a cold fact. * ~Following the program refreshments were served by the Grimsby society, one hundred and twentyâ€"five being in attendance from the two societies. This well served its purposeâ€"a most useful one,â€"for which it is doubtful Mr. Grout was ever given due credit; but it finished the Anderson well, and perceptibly lowered the Millward well, though it never had less than. three feet of water in it. As can well be imagined many thousands of gallons of water would be taken from the well, but it never failed. Who actually dug the well I do not remember, but can distinctly remember the tdugh chunks of blue clay that were sent to the surface and eventually used as a revetment around the well. ¢ And many a dollar the boys made in 5¢, I0¢c andâ€"very seldom â€" 25¢ tips for unchecking, watering and reâ€" checking the thirty horses. : The visiting society which made the trip in a specially chartered bus, proâ€" vided a program of unusual interest comprising excellent musical numbers and a humorous debate, the program concluding with the singing of well known community.songs and a recreaâ€" tional hour led by Rev. Mr. Dodgson, minister of Central United Church. In another column will be found anâ€" nouncement as to the streets to be covâ€" ered every Tuesday and Thursday when a collection will be made. A system of garbage collection is now in effect in many municipalities and it contributes to maintaining saniâ€" tary surroundings, providing a medâ€" fum through which citizens may disâ€" pose of their rubbish and other waste material which accumulates. The garbage collected will be deposiâ€" ted on the low lying land adjacent to the bridge on Elizabeth Street.

He declared that it had been charged that the Liberal parâ€" ty was divided on the question of beer and wine, and stated that if it was a fact, and he believed it to be $0, it at least showed that in the Liberal party there were men who can think honestly and individually on the subâ€" ject.

He said that shipping unsatisfactory fruit from Niagara district was the worst thing possible for the industry. He added that it was a well known fact that grapes had been sent out from this district at which pigs would turn their noses up.â€" This was happily not general, of course, but a few such inâ€" stances could cause untold injury, he said. The frlinister, Rev.
