    Poem to Thom. Justice, by Mrs. Pratt:

    Tom Justice was a wreckman bold
    His noble deeds can ne'vr be told
    If e'er a train rolled off the rails
    Tom Justice came, as hard as nails
    He drenched the trucks with axle grease
    & rolled them back with greatest ease.

    Tom Justice was a Carver great
    A carver he of first class rate
    He'd grasp his knife, so bright & keen
    He'd wear a pennie nice & clean
    He'd gently carve a turkey tough
    With chickens he was never rough.

    Tom Justice was a bridgeman keen
    A player smart as e'er was seen
    He always played as taught by Hoyle
    He ne'r made his partner rage & boil
    But played an honest game & good
    As every honest bridgeman should.

    Then here's a health to good friend Tom
    To his genial wife - she's second to non
    From trusted friends may they ne'er roam
    & long may they live in their cozy home.
    Long be their days, may health be theirs
    Their friends be many throught the years
    & many the joys & few the sorrows
    They share together in long to-morrows.

Arrival by train was then an big exciting affair. Crowds would gather around the exit gate waiting for the travellers to arrive. Aunt Lal would descend the gangplank wearing a black Persian lamb fur coat with a beautiful Christmas corsage with coloured sparkly white bells set with a ribbon. After the rounds of hugs & kisses, nephew Charles Felker would drive his aunt to his mother's house. Christmas diner would be celebrated with at least the 3 sisters, Lal, Jenn, & Irene. Lal would also visit her other married sisters, Winn & Mary.

    A deputation from Erin, consisting of Dr. Geer, Messrs Walker, Overland & Conboy, visited Acton last Wednesday evening to inspect our electric lighting system. They were charmed with the efficiency of our plant. Erin streets will probably be lighted shortly. Power will be generated at The Cataract. The deputation expressed surprise & pleasure with Acton's fine municipal possessions. The town hall, fire brigade equipment, park & permanent pavements all came in for compliments, & our municipal fathers were accorded heaps of taffy for their part in securing these improvements. They were especially complimented upon the efficiency & success of the electric lighting system.
    . 1899 Sep 28, Erin village has decided to put in electric light. Incandescent lists similar to those in Action will be put on the streets. Mr Deagle will supply the current from the Cataract, bar completion by the 1st Nov.
    - The committee from Erin who visited Acton, Georgetown & other points to examine the merits of the various electric lighting systems reported a week ago, that they considered that while Acton, with the incandescent system on the streets, was not so brilliantly lighted in places, to was much more evenly lighted than Georgetown with its 1500 candle power are lamps, four to the mile. After considerable discussion it was denied to have incandescent system & on a vote being taken it was carried by a large majority & a contract has been entered into for the lighting of the village.
    . 1899 Dec 7, The electric light is a long time coming, but it will surely behave now within a few weeks.

    First Appendicitis Operation in Ontario:
    > An incident in Dr. McNaughton's life must be respected here. Mr. Charlie Walker took sudden with appendicitis. Dr McNaughton summoned Dr McKinnon of Hillsburgh & Dr MacKinnon of Guelph, & in silence they performed the first successful appendix operation ever known in Ontario. Just fancy, no hospital ward or operating accessories, but in his own home on a table. The silence was so necessary that the board sidewalk in front of the house was laid with sawdust.
    There were 2 Doctors living in fine homes. Dr. McNaughton, an army surgeon who knew just the medicine to take, as he used to try location with a fist punch. If above the belt line, you took Senna tea, if below, a tablespoon of Epsom or a dose of castor oil. All were sure cures. He was thorough & punctual. In the dark night his horse and buggy never failed if he was needed, and was often heard going over the bridge on his mercy calls.

    The Difference Between a Cutter & a Sleigh
    One of the biggest differences between a cutter & a sleigh is the size. Cutters were created for leisurely driving among one or two couples. They were meant to be snug & comfortable. Sleighs, though, were built to accommodate a larger group. The cutter was used for longer, slower rides, the runners are straighter, which means the cutter is meant to keep going straight. While it can be turned, turns must be taken slowly & wider than normal.
    The primary use of both a cutter & a sleigh is transportation in the snowy winter months, they each have their own individual purpose. Because cutters offered a cozier ride with all occupants sitting close together. The cutter, for instance, is built lower to the ground & requires more flexibility to ensure the jarring of the road does not break the structure. - - -

    . DISCIPLES OF CHRIST.
    Briefly then, the Esquesing church grew peacefully into the principles of the Campbellian reformation, & in June, 184 3, the first June meeting of the Ontario Disciples, was held. On that occasion the name "Disciples of Christ" or "Christians" was used. The site of this meeting house was near Norval, actually on the Menzies farm, Lot 8, 10th line, Esquesing. So small was the log building, that at the first June meeting, Ash records that numbers of the listeners had to vacate their seats in order to permit others to hear.
    This Esquesing church was characterized by very strict discipline as to its members' conduct. For, with this strong desire to maintain the purity of the witness to the gospel, there was evident the air of exaltation & discovery which are elements in any youthful cause. There was not much experience to fall back upon, & the Bible was truly an honored medium of counsel toward maintaining a high standard of conduct with which to exalt the Christian profession; & who ca n deny the wholesomeness of such an aim? Consider the delicacy of the recording scribe who could indite upon his record s about a sister that had erred & been removed from fellowship- "for a crime mentioned in I Corinthians." ...This forest sanctuary to Christ which Esquesing folk raised, has long since passed from common knowledge, but the spiritual emanations from that Bible-loving people still grasp at the stars.
