Editor THE GKKY (OlNTY HISTORY The history of the founding of the townships, villages and towns in the County of Grey is now on the news alands. It is a large volume of nearly five hundred pages and was edited by Miss E. L. Marsh of Clarks- burg, printed by the Owen Sound Sun-Times and bound by Richardson, Bond & Wright, a book produced completely in Grey County. It was authorized by the County Council sev- eral years ago and the late Sherifl \Vilson fo Gn-y was instrumental in commencing this great work, along with John Parker, County Treasurer, followed by Sheriff Wm. Brecse. Great credit is due these finr.s and people, especially the editor, Miss M&rsh, for their work in compiling BO complete a collection of facts relative to the early days in this county. The history is not a directory of all the old settlers in the county and does not include all the history of the present day, but is a moving tale ol the development of the county, pictur- ing in opening this particular section in its days of untrodden beauty, through the hazardous period of pion- eering by the white man until to-day, when Grey County is noted for its agricultural eminence and its many progressive industries. The history is divided into three parts: The Forest Days of the County; Early History of the Town- ships, Village-.} and Towns, and The County and Its Development. Collingwood was the first township laid out in the County of Grey and was named after a naval hero, Ad- miral Collingwood. This township was also the fir.it one in the County to be opened and planted in agricultural products. There are also a*cti'/ns dealing with the history of -jk-h township and many names of the first settlers are recorded. A nection is given to the discovery of Eugenia Falls and the early gold rush to that point; the village of Priceville, where one of the first newspapers in the County was pub- lished; the O*prey Farmers' Milling Co.; the early industries, churches, Lodges and societies and a lung chap- ter dealing with stories of occurrences in the townships by early settlers. Col. T. J. Rutherford has written a complete narrative of the founding of the 31-st Regiment and the part played by Grey County in the Great War, giving the names of all those from Grey who served therein. In 18!>2 a Provisional Conucil was Appointed with the aid of W. K. Flesher, founder of Flesherton, and the members of each council since that time are enumerated in a com- plete list, including the year 1931. An alphabetical directory of the County of Grey in 185C, which is re- produced from the Gazattcer of the County, published by W. W. Smith, is also given, divided into township- and is a faithful record of the name? of the builders of Grey County, whose courage und endeavor gave such & splendid heritage to those who have come after them. The history is a book that should be in every home in the county, so as to allow si'.rreeding generations to review tho hardships encountered by their forefathers and learn of the ap- peaancc of the country in those early days. Mr. C. N. Richadson of Flesh- crton is distributor of the history in this district. HOI.UKAST ci.rn MDKTINS I i __ t The Holdfast II. F. W. O. dub held their January meeting nt the home of Mr*.

Mildred Whittaker, then favored the audience with an excellent reading, followed by a de- lightful jolo by Monica Lambert.

Monica Lambert the last speaker, proved that, "School is a happy place in which to spend one's yoyith. The ever-popular school paper "The Astonisher" proved very astonishing at times. It is now edited by Irene Martin, and was enjoyed immensely. Editorials, humor and fiction combin- ed to make it an excellent opening nurrtbcr.
