St. Mary‘s Journalâ€"Argus:â€"It has been customary to speak of the old barroom days as a page from the past that were better forgotten. But the opinion is spreading among those who can hark back to those days, that the present beer rooms are greater breeders of intemperance than even the old bars were. Another thinz to be remembered it that in the old days there was some kind of democratic control, If a comâ€" munity didn‘t want liquor, it didn‘t hnave to take it.

On the site of the old building a new and modetn structure is to riseâ€"a new Wilson block, built of brick. + We are glad to publish thi> following article written on the Wilsons, from the pen of the Rev. J. C. Cochrane, Supt. of Missions for the North, who has been a friend of the family for years. Nothing that he says of them is in any way exaggerated and Mr. and Mrs. "Billy" Wilson live in the hearts of all oldâ€"timers as people of the good "old" North: representatives of a time that is dear to all its sons. Andâ€"since these things are bettor said when the people are living and can read them, than given as obituaries, here follows the article:â€" "While "Billy Wilson‘s Barber Shop" is one of the well known institutions of South Porcupine and the proprietor is recognized as an artist at his trade, if those who know him best were askâ€" ed to describe the avocation of this oldâ€" timer of the Porcupine. Camp there would seem to be no more appropriate quotation than a couplet from the lines of Samuel Fossâ€" "Let me live in a house by the side of the road And be a friend to man." "Born in 1879 in the town of Uxbridge, William Wellington Wilson was early introduced to the necessity of making his own way in life. Before he reached the teen ag> he was earning his living by working in the lumber camps in the winter and the sawmills in the summer. It was in the pursuit of this industry that he was introduced to life on the frontiers and . he grew up to young manhood in the Muskoka District which in the nineties was one of the frontiers of the North. "Unostentatiously playing their part in the building up of Northern Ontario, this worthy couple have earned the right to be numbered among its oldest and most respected citizens, They are "oldâ€"timers" that South Porcupine deâ€" lights to honour." Phillip Therriault, who was electroâ€" cuted at the Northern Power Company recently when he came in contact with a transformer conductor carrying 12,000 volts, is making rapid recovery. He is sitting up in a chair this week and soon will be able to leave the hospital, Philip Therriault Now Well on Way to Recovery "HMe was introduced to the barbering trade in Bracebridge and served his apprenticeship with the late Joe Casey, whose shop had a reputation for good work and satisfied customers. In 1903 he was married to Miss Emily Mary Ferguson of Bracebridge and thus a home, noted for its generous hopsitality and kindliness, was established. _ In whatever community Mr. and Mrs. Wilâ€" son have resided, their home has had an open door, particularly for those who were homeless, unfortunate, or lonely. Not a few of the "Skypilots" in the early days of the Poreupine Camp found this home to be a "shelter in the time of storm." "New frontiers were opening up in Northern Ontario and the pione@ring spirit of the Wilson‘s led them to the Porcupine Camp where they arrived on August 6, 1911. South Porcupine was just beginning to rise from the ashes of that dreadful holocaust of July l1th, 1911, and was at this time a tented city. The Wilsons purchas»d a bell tent and established a home on Commercial Ave., Mr. Wilson having his shop in the Pool Rosom tent of the late W. B. Wilâ€" son. From that day their fortunes have been closely linked with the yvicisâ€" situdes of the Camp. They have sharâ€" ed its prosperity and its adversity, but never have they wavered in their loyâ€" alty, or lost faith in its future. From 1919 until 1923, the spirit of the wanâ€" derlust again took possession of them and they travelled to Florida and the Pacific Coast. Two winters were spent in Florida where Mr. Wilson was a member of a rather celebrated band of musicians with steady engagements called the "Palm Beach Band". After a residence of some months on the Pacific Coast, the lure of the North again cast its spell upon them and they returned to resume their life and occuâ€" pation in South Porcupine with this declarationâ€""Of all the places we have lived,. this is the best." "In 1905 the Wilsons moved from Rracebridge to ‘Thessalon which at that time was at the zenith of its hisâ€" tory as one of the centres of the lumâ€" bering industry on the north shore of the Georgian Bay. Here Mr. Wilson carried on the barbering business for over six years. In the life of this comâ€" munity this worthy couple filled a useâ€" ful place and established a large circle of friends. Their home was a rendezâ€" vous for all lovers of music. In his spare time Mr. Wilson mastered the art of playing the slide trombone and became a valued member of the local band.
