C. Metcalf, Toronto and his bro- ther H. C. Metcalf, Guelph, who will continue the business under the name of Hampton Milling Co. The story of this mill, written by the late Dr. Jabez H. Elliott, des- cendent of the founder, appeared in The Statesman in Jan. 1937 and later appeared in booklet form. Some of the highlights of this his- tory are recounted below. The mill has been in continuous operation for this long period of time and has changed ownership only twice until the present sale was made. Founder Founder in 1840 by the late Hen- ry Elliott J. P, who was born in Cornwall , England, in 1809, the business remained in the Elliott family until 1910. It was then sold to the late Chas. Horn, who later took into partnership his son, Edgar Horn, who still lives in Hampton. He sold the mill to George Farn- comb, son of a prominent Newcastle family. Operated by the Elliott family for 70 years, by the Horn family for 26 years and by Mr. Farncomb for 10 years, the total of 1068 years of continuous, succcessful operation in such few hands is considered some- thing of a record. The new owners have a high tradition to maintain, Changes Only two major changes have taken place in the property during its century of operation. The ori- ginal mill was reconstructed on its present site in 1851 and modern machinery has been installed to keep pace with the times, Erected on the creek flowing through Hampton. Elliott's Mill was but one of 35 mills and factories using the water power of this stream. Only two have survived, the Hamp- ton mill and Vanstone's Mill, Bowmanville, both today at the peak of production, Established 14 years before a rail- road reached Bowmanville, when the present province of Ontario was known as Canada West, and 27 years before Confederation, Elliott's Mill served the needs of the farm- ing population of north Darlington and continues in that capacity to- day. chopping business the mill produces 3x Pastry Flour which has a wide market. Paid in Full In announcing: the change of ownership, Mr. Farncomb. spoke highly of the farming community that has accorded faithful patron- age for the past decade in a cen- tury of prosperity for the one mill Extending credit running into thou- sands of dollars he closes his books with scarcely a dollar outstanding. With his thanks to a fine group of farmers go his wish for continued confidence in the new comers. OIE I OX O) WANTED! 1 DEAD HORSES © and CATTLE I For Free rickup Telephone Toronto Picgering ..

"O Come All Ye Faith- ful," "Silent Night" and "Hark The Herald Angels Sing" were three of the carols they worked at, and they had the mo-. trou- ble with the last of them. After an intermission of a few minutes 'they settled down to work again, but still found the same carol difficult. The prac- tices between now and Christmas will be spent in learning these ca- rols, which will be given on Christmas morning at the Onta- rio Hospital, the Cou.ty Home and, for Whitby people, at the Four Corners. Next practice will be on Tues. day night at 6.45 p.m, The Whitby Boys Band have received a donation of Five Dol- lars from Mrs. E. A. Graham which was gratefully appreciated by the band management.
