Squire Smith was then called upon for
song which he rendered very satisfactorily
in his rich baritone voice. The song
was as follows:
We welcome you dear brother Parks,
Into our little town,
We missed your kind and gentle voice,
In the days when you were gone.
We love to hear the saw-mill roar
1t fills us with delight,
But your temper must be hard to keep,
When the saw runs on spike.
And when our daily tasks are done,
1t stirs our hearts within,
To listen to the music swell,
From your sweet violin.
So while you stay in Huntley town,
saving up our wood
The best of things to eat and drink,
For you are none too good.
Levi was encorcd three times on his
performance and after the excitement
had subsided Parks arose and though
visibly touched by his warm greeting
sang the following song accompanied by
the violin:
Ihave roamea to far Australia,
have travelled to Japan,
have seen the Gar of Russia,
And shook him by the hand,
I've crossed the ocean wild and wide,
To Klondyke and Cape Nome,
But no place seems so dear to me,
As my dear old Huntey home.
o let me stay in Huntley town,
And work in the old mill
With all my friends beside me,
Wen labor with a will:
will not leave again dear friends,
SO wipe your weeping eyes,
When we have all the logs cut up,
Wen go to making ties
There was not a dry eye in the house
after the song.
A rare and pleasing SIGHT was afforded
the people of Huntley on Thursday after
noon, May l7th, when Mr.. VIM. Wylie,
assisted by his son George, brought
raft of pine logs from his home to the
mill. Mr.. Wylie handled this vast
amount of timber with the grace and ease
that would have done credit to man 20
years younger, which goes to show the
kind of timber,our fathers and grandfath-
ers were made Of. Despite Mr.Wylie is 76
years Of age, he walked from the mill to
his home distance of over four miles in
