Sn h In addition to this advantage af forded to the village Mr. Shantz is the most prominent in giving it some ‘industrial life. He was born aear St. Jacobs, March 16, 1849, and is a son of Simon Shantz, Sr. When he was about a year old his parents moved from his birth place to Wilmot where they lived about 45 years He purâ€" chased the saw mill here in 1895 from his brother Ezra, who had purchased it from one David Clemens, and has since added a cider and chopping mill. The saw will has a capacity of pro ducing about 8,000 feet of lumber per diy, the chopper 200 bage per day and the cider mill about 2,000 gallons per day. He also owns a farm of twen‘ty acres near the village, from which he derives plenty of the necessaries of life for his family. He bas been in some way connected in the operation of a sawâ€"mill since he was fourteen years of ago, and it is altogether likely that he will follow that vocation as long as he lives, or at least while the timber conâ€" tinues to hold outb. Mr. Shantz was married about twoentyâ€"two years ago to Miss Caroline, daughter of Mr. John Bingeman, of near Washington, Nine children have been born to them, two of whom are dead. They are of the Mennonite faith and Reform in poliâ€" tics. The family lives in one of the venerable landmarks of the village. It is the old stone tavern which was built in 1836 by the late John ‘Iyson, who was its landlord for two or three years and afterwards was kept by Henry Wenglin and others. It was a famous resorb for the travelling public years ago. It is a substantial stone structâ€" ure, but save its convenient location near the public highway, it does not show signs of having once been a pubâ€" lic bouse. Mr. Shantz is a popular citizen and a man entitled to the reâ€" spect and esteem of all who meet him or have business transactions with him. The Old Brick Tavern. Here is a venerable landmark. It was built about the year 1850 by the late Benjamin Bemis, a conspicuous character in his day here, and previous to his taking charge of the hotel kept a small liquor shop in & little shanty opâ€" posite the present site of the Presbyâ€" terian burying ground. He kept the bavern for a number of years and since his time it was kept by different parties until about six years ago when it came into possession of Mr. Michael Brohman, its present landlord and proprietor. It is the only hotel in the village, but it is well conducted, has ample accommodation to supply the necds of the community in that respect and will compare favorably with any village hotel in the county. Mr. Brohâ€" man was born in New Germany in 1842, He was engaged in farming uotil he came to Winterbourne and took charge of the hotel. He has been twice married, the first time being about twenty years ago and the second some twelve years ago. He is the father of 11 children, fize by bis first wife and six by the second. His first wife was a daughter of Martin Gates, Jonathan Shantz‘s Dam. Ino reference to the general tepoâ€" graphy of the village of Winterbourne in my last letter I omitted mention of the dam which coofi es the waters of Cox‘s Oreek. It is the property of Mr. Jonathan Sbhantz, and contributes the power that operates his saw mill aud chopping machine. It is undoubtâ€" edly one of the largest corfined bodies of water in Waterloo county. The village derives advantages from it in more ways than one. While it adds considerably to the picturesqueness of the village it affords good fishing for the finhabitants thereof when the season is on. In the spring it is alive with chubs, suckers, red fins and bass. The latter abound: in large number« and many are often caught weighing from three to four pouads. Its generâ€" ous owner permits free access to it by the public, and conscequently the averâ€" agoe villager whose beef or pork supply has become diminished or who feels th: want of:a change from that sort of dieb can in & short cime with hook and line procure choice specimens for the frying pan. The law prohibiting the catching of bass at this season of the year was the only obstacle that pre vented _your correspondent from m«kâ€" ing the attempt to land a few of the big fellows to form a savory feast for the table of the editor of the CHRONT CLE. ‘ A VISIT TO WINTERBOURNE Sketches of Its Business Men and old Citizens in the Vicirâ€" ityâ€"A Snapâ€"shot Sketch of Its Neighbor, Montrose. dansen Bros.

He is undoubtâ€" edly worthy of this luxury, however, as a more industrious or hard working citiz>n will be hard to finod.

William Sherriffs. This is a new candidave for public patronsge in the general mercantile line. _ About three or four weeks ago he lefté his father‘s farm near the vilâ€" lage where he was born in 1873, to take charge of the store formerly kept by John Hodge. _ He is a son of Mr. Alexander Sheriff«, one of the prominâ€" ent farmers of this vicinity. The son has had careful training and will no doubt succeed as a merchant. He has quite a large stock of general morchanâ€" dise, and his store is also headquarters for the Great Western Telegraph Comâ€" pany and the Ball Telephone Company, and until lately it was occupied by the postâ€"office. This venerable lady has live1 in Winterbourne and its vicinity for thirtyâ€"six years. I6 was to her resiâ€" dence that the postâ€"oflice was recently removed, Mrsa Currie and her husband lived on their farm near this village about twentyâ€"five years, and previous to this about fifteen years in North Damfries. She was born in Roxburyâ€" shire _ Scotland, in 1831, and Mr. Currie in Duamfriesshire, Scotâ€" and, in 1829. Ho cams to this country in 1839 and Mrs. Currie in 1847. They were joined in marriage by Roev. Dr. Bain, of Galt, in 1851. The fruits of this union were six childâ€" ren, three of whom died and three are living. The latter are Rotert, residing at Markham, William, at Mount Forest, and Mrs Jsnet Mitchell (widow) and her daughter, Miss Maggie C., living with the mother. Mrs. Mitchell recently received the appointment of postmistress of Winterbourne. Mr. and Mrs. Currie, like many others, have experienced the trials and tribulaâ€" tions of life as well as days of sunshine and happiness. The husband and father died about eleven years ago. Mrs. Currie now lives a retired life and is a typical Scotch lady of more than an ordinary intelligence. She scouts the opinion I advanced some weeks ago regarding the dark portions{of soil on the William _ Scheifele farm, to the effect that it was caused by the Indians, who had evidently used coal for fuel. She bases her disbelief upon the fact that the Indian‘s characteristic aversion to hard labor prevented his searching and digging for the black disamonds I refer to this simp‘y to draw some information from our local geologists as to the origination of these strange formations. The removal of the post office seems to have created some contention and misunderstanding in ths nsighborhood; but as this is usually the result of such removals the case in question is looked upon with & sort of calm indifference by those of mature judgment and long w.!l create & discreditakle reputation for the village by strangers. Joseph Stork. There are none now living in this vicinity who are more popularly known than the subject of this sketch. Mr. Stork was born on a farm below Galt, in 1843. Hoe comes from Eaglish ancestry, his father and mother being natives of Yorkshire, Eogland. They came to this country whea Joseph was twelve years of age. From the time he was old enough to work, until sevenâ€" teen years of age, he worked on the farm, when he commenced to learn the shoemaking trade. About fifceen years ago he abandoned the latter trade and engaged in the mercantile business. Ho started out in life with a capital of twentyâ€"five cents, but he practiced economy and persevered until success crowned his efforts ; toâ€"day be could retire with ample means to enable him to live in comfort and ease the remainâ€" der cf his days. He, however, con binues to carry on the general mercanâ€" cile business, and when he feels like it will do odd jobs in his shoe shop adjoining his store. . He is also tha owner of a farm containing ninetyâ€"nine acres, & short distance north of the villege, and which is now cccupied by bis son Waiter. In 1864, abt the age of twentyâ€"one years, Mr. Stork was married to E‘jizibesth Goodwin. They have had ten children ; five are living and five have died. He is an uncomâ€" promising Reformer and a member of the Methodist church. Since he was old enough to commit to memory the local events of his neighborhood there have nob been many things cccur which he can nob vividly recall toâ€"day. To him I am indebted for much of my information regarding the early days of Winterbourne. a firmer of Waterloo township, and his second wife a daughter of Ignatius Adams, also of Waterloo township. His father was an Alsatian and died in 1876 aged 69 years, and his mother was born jon the Rhine and died in 1893 aged 85 years.

The mothor died October 18, 1895 The father of the subject of this sketch was the late John D.

The wife of the latter was also born in Montgomery county, Pa., the year of her birth boing 1823, and her death occurrel about twenty yeâ€"rs ago. _ Mr. Shoemaker,the subject of this sketch, is enjoying life in his declining yesrs, being amply proâ€" vided for in this particular by the proâ€" ceeds of his farm, lot No. 129, consistâ€" ing of 150 acres, near the village. From the standpoint of one entirely disinterested, the official affairs abt the presont post cffice appear to be running smoothly, and there seems to be no occasion for ssrious complicstions or & rupture of friendly relations between the villagers.

I cou%rd then only speak in whispers. I have taken thirteen bottles, and can say with truth I am greatly benefited. _ People are surprised to hear me speak. I can halloo, and my voice has not been as good in eifiht years. My stomach was never in better condition. Formerly I could not eat without suffering very much immediately after, but now I can eat anything." When a young man asks a father for his daughter‘s hand in marriage, if the father is a wise one, he thinks of one thing equalâ€" ly as important as the young man‘s morals, social and business standing and intelliâ€" gence. A young man who suffers from illâ€" health has no right to matry until his health is restored. To do so is to commit a crime against the human race. While all diseases may not be directly inherited, the constituâ€" tional tendency to acquire them is inherâ€" ited. If a man is a consumptive, the chances are that his children will have weak, undersized lungs, and a predisposiâ€" tion to acquire the same disease. The young man who suffers from bronâ€" chitis, weak lungs, spitting of blood or any disease of the airâ€"passages which, if negâ€" lected leads up to consumption, may take Dr. Pierce‘s Golden Medical Discovery with almost absolute assurance of recovery. It cures 98 per cent. of all cases when taken in time. It soothes and heals the delicate and sensitive tissues of the airâ€"passages and Iungs, clhecks the cough, facilitates expectâ€" oration, drives out all impurities and disâ€" ease germs from the tainted blood. and builds new and healthy tissues.
