INTRODUCTORY 'T'lIlS little brochure is intended as a suitable souvenir of the ex- ^ cursion of the Uufferin Old Boys residing in Toronto tf> Orange* viUe on Monday, August (i, 1900. When the Dufforin Old Boys' Association was organized in Tontnto a few uiontlis ago TllB Post concluded that the publicatioti of a suiall pamphlet like the present when the intended reun On took place in OrangevillvJ would be opportune and might prove satisfactory from main* points. It is estimated that there are residing in Toronto today fuflj 1,200 persons whose former homes were in some part of Dutfenn. The following pages are largely biogmphical. a narrati\;e of the success of old boys of this county in the Queen City, and the only regret of the publish- ers IS that they have not been able to make it more full and ccmi,. e- hensive. There are many f<»rmer Dufferinites in Toronto, whoso names and present calling TiiK Post has been unable to secure at all, and the achievements of thes? cannot of course be recorded in perman- ent form. The publishers believe, however, that even with the draw- backs mentioned the pamphlet will be found of considerable inter*'-*^ and of some value for future reference. The insertion of adverrise- ments may be regarded as somewhat of an obtrusion, but this feature of the brochure has been inclisi)en&ible in order to make the venture a finan jial success. Considering its size and population, there is not, we believe, a county iir Ontario that has furnished more successf il men to the Qu. en City than Dufferin. The Post begs ti> congratulate all upon the Ifonorable role they are playing and to wish them many years )f activity and usefulness. The publishers beg to return their warmest thanks to Mr. J. V. Denton, barrister, Toronto, secretary of the Duflferin Old Boys' * sociation, for the grea^ assistance he has rendered them in secui information for the sg^uvenir. W\ 1 ^ 1 3 Ml I ^W. R.

Whon »i hoy Mr. Loii« (itleiulod si'liool at Mono Centre, townHhip of Mono, and is still renjoniherud hy many of the old residents of that hnndet and vicinity. He eaily manifested a piodiliction for uiercantile piirsnits and his first venture for himself WHS a small stcjie on the towidine between Mono and Caledon, about H mile west of Mono Mills. The store was on tho Mon(. side, was situated near C«mpb'.drH tannery, tho ruin.s of which still remain, but all vestij^es of Mr. Long's first mercantile establishment have lony since disappeared. Mr. Long's f.'reat success has boon scored in Collint'wood. wheie he and a Im.ther run the lar<;est store, or rather series of stores, not only in Collingwood, but outside the great cities. Mr. Long is also the owntr of several lines of steamers plying on the Northern Lakes and has fur years been a director of some of tho largest financial institutions in the country. Hts success has been scored by industry, sobriety and integrity and he stands high in public confide»ico every- where. He has taken an active part in politics and represented V\ est Simcoe in the Conservative interest in the Ontario Assembly from 75 to '8.3. Mr. Long resides on Jarvis st., Toronto, his resi- dence, "VVoodlawn," being one of the most palatial in the city. In May, 186', he married Ann Patton of Collingwood and the surviving children of the union are two sons and two daughters. Mr. Long is himself a native of Limerick, Ireland, where he was born in 1837 and he had the courage and adventurous spirit to. try his fortunes alone in America in 1850. He is to a. large extent not only a self made but a self educated man and the history of his life should be an in- centive to those who have no inheritance but strenijth of will, talent and perseverance with which to engage in the great struggle upon the thealjlre of existence. Mr. Long has faith in the future of Canada and thinks that the young man of honesty, sobriety and application lias even a better chance of at^ining the goal of his ambition to-day than when he himself made Jiife first start at Mono Centre nearly half a century ago. i -/ fe -/ THOS. LONG, ESQ.. Ex-M.P.P. 6 ROBT. HEWITT, ESQ.f Ex-Deputy Reeve of Orangeville, Mr. Roht. Hewitt of Toronto deserves a crcditalilo {)Ositi<)ii iil this volume uiid we are sijrry that wi; are unable to present our read- ers with a photo of a gentleman who v.as at one time a leading ti^fure in the public life of Orangeville. Mr. Hewitt informed our agent, hf>wever, that he had not had a photo taken in j-ears and, as he could not spare time to sit foi one, we were helpless. The writer of these lines has known Mr. Hewitt for a full (juarter of a century and is consequently able to speak of hiui with the authority of long exper- ience. In the early history of Orangeville Mr. H. was active and promment, for he was spirited, intelligent and enterprising and was consequently summoned to tlie front. As a building contractor he saw several large undertakings to a successful issue and many of the finest edifices in the C(>unty town owe their stateliness and perman- ence to his taste, skill and general pr^ liciency in his calling. For the Conservative party he worked hard and earnestly in his days of vigor and enthusiasm, but several >ears ago, like many other honest C',)n- servatives, he failed to see eye to eye with his party leaders and saw much to applaud in the cfireer of Hon. N. C. Wallace. Like Mr. Wallace, however, Mr. Hewitt remains a Conservative and he no doubt believes, as Mr. Wallace does, that the Conservative party has protited by the hard descipline to which it was subjected within its own fold. In the municipal politics of Orangeville Mr. Hewitt took an abiding and leadinjjf interest, for he had, and still has, considtrrable at stake materially in the county town. He served for several years as a councillor and then successfully aspired to the deputy ree'*eship, an office to which he was elected after two hard fights with strong ♦ o{)ponents. His contest tor the deputy reeveship in '84 was except- ionally keen and exciting owing to the agitating (luestion of the location of the post office site being still a live issue. Mr. Hewitt was put forward by the citizens favoring the erection of the post office on Its present site and was elected by a majority, as nearly as wc can remember, of over 150. In tht" council he discharged his general duties with such urbanity and ability that toward the end of the year former opponents had developed into strong sui)porters and op{)osition to his election in '85, even though he was opposed by a leading and well favored citizen, was so unpopular with the masses thriL M'v. XX s succes.s w.is uiiii'e signiiiCiiiit than it hhu beeii tne year before. In those days deputy reeves occupied se.its at the county council board and we need scarcely add that at the county green table the interests of Orangeville were ably and vigilantly represent- 1 jxtsition 111 It our reful- idin>5 fiyure oiii- ayent, fiH ho cijuld er c)f tlievse tury and is long exper- nctivo and II g and was ntractor lio lany of the nd perman- ^.

In the Queen City he has been extensively enga<^ed as building contractor and hfis met with gratifying success. Mr. Hewitt h is several sons and daughters, but "he met the saddest bereavement of his life a few years ago when l:o lost the sharer of his joys and sorrows. Mr, Hewitt does Uufferin cfuintv credit whi-iever he goes and if he is among the old boys who revisit Orange ville on August none will bo more welcome. FRANK DENTON, Q.C., D.C.L., JERBERT L. DUNN W.

BABE, ESQ '•» Mr. Babe s is a familiar and well aoci edited name in the district of which Orangeville is the centre. Our first acquaintance with him dates back to the TO's, when he was running a large grocery store in Orangeville in partnership with the late Jas. Allen, at one time deputy reeve of the town. Subsequently Mr. Babe conducted a general store at Cataract, and about sixteen years ago moved to Parkdale, then a prosperous and raoidly growing village. At Parkdale he opened a staple dry goods store and soon established a large and flourishing business, which still con- tinues on the increase. In those days there was much that was primitive about Parkdale and such a convenience as a street car was unknown. Mr. Babe, being an intelligent and progressive man, took an active part in everything that tended tv^ the welfare ot tlie village and was one of the most useful members of the municipal council before annexation came and Parkdale was swallowed up in loronto. He has still an enduring confidence in the West End and IS glad to find many of the old boys of Dufferin of the same opinion. He meets former residents of Dufferin every day and is always glad to do business with them. Mr. Babe, we need not add, is honest and straightforward in business, a fact which, coupled with his agreeable and obliging disposition, accounts for his success in a populous citv where so many strive and fail ia the effort. G. H.

Richardson's bank. He left the village on the Grand on the 1st September, 1899, havinsr bought th^ extensive and old eatablished grocery business of Messrs^ Cald'^well & Hodgms at the corner of Queen and John streets, Toronto, 13 G H. COOPER, ESQ. - .^-mi^»i^:t»tiVM^if»>M 14 Mr. Cble is a Presl)yteiian and is an attractive bachelor who has so tar defied all the arrows of Cupid. His status in the medical profession is high and this, coupled w ith the fact that he is most genial in manner and possesses rare social qualities, explains lus rapid rise and advance to the front in a city in which the learned professions are so crowded. Dr. Noble is a Dutferin old boy who is playing his part chivairou^'y in the arena of life and we are anion-' those who shall not be at all surprised if he Khali in fh« n^ur t„t...Z occupy a creditable position in the councils of his country.

Mr. Kyles is the eldent son of James KyleH, Prince of Wales' R<»art, Mono, and was l)orn on the east half of Lot 15, 2nd Con. east, Mono, on 17th Sept., 1860. He wo-ked on his tather'sfarm, west half lot 20^ 1st con. west. Mono, and attended the public school at Camilla till 1877, when he obtained a third class teacher's certificate and during the two ftillowinsr years taught school at Mono Centre. In 1880 and the early part of 1881 he attended Newmarket High school, and in July 1881 passed the matriculation examination for entrance to the University of Toronto, from which institution he graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts in June 1885, taking iirst class hont)rs in logic, ethnology, hi-story and English. During the latter half of 1882, while pursuing his university course, he taught schocd at Whittington. After graduating he becume articled to Alexander MacNabb, Esq., formerly police magistrate of the city of Toronto, and began the study of law. He was called to the bar in September 1888, and since that date has practiced his profession in the city of Toronto. In Maj- 1899, ho entered into partnership with Mr. T. H. Bull, late clerk (.f the Peace for the County of York, undtr the firm name of Bull & Kyles. The firm's otfices are in the Canada Permanent Buildings, 18 Toronto street. As a lawyer Mr. Kyles stands high, being regarded as a crentle- urnn of first class attainments, while he enjoys a flattering reputation for business honestv and integrity. He is a man who to a large ex- tent has made his own way in the world and his friends will be de^ liuhted if some of the high honf Mono, having been born near Mono Mills, and received his education in Dutferin county. He ran a general store in the village of Hastings for several years and thence removed to Camilla, where he was vil- lage postmaster and general merchant for over twelve years. His business at Camilla was very extensive and it was in fact its onerous character that compelled him to retire last fall. Tn addition to his own private business he was local agent of the Bell Telephone Co., telegraph agent, secretary of the A.O.U.W. and salesman for the local cheese factory. These varied duties, coupled with the more arduous ones of township treasurer, induced Mr. Cobean, as we have stated, to retire from Caniilla altogether and seek a more easy avoca- tion in the Queen City. He is now manager of the Hygiene Kola Co., 84 Chursh St., Toronto, who manufacture and sell Kola Wine, a med- icine which is now enjoying almost unprecedented popularity. Mr. Cobean is reported to be prospeiing immensely in Toronto and he can- not have better luck than his legion of friend* in Duflferin wish him. A biographer could say nothing that would not be complimentary of Mr. Cobean, for he is an unassuming and warm-hearted man and will be long remembered in Mono for his invariable courtesy and obliging disposition. In religion Mr. Cobean is a Presbyterian and in politics a staunch Conservative. J. HILTON HOFFMAN BARRISTER SOLICITOR, ETC. MEMBER OF THE MICHIGAN BAR, Office : Aberdeen Chambers TORONTO E. J.

He was the leading general merchant of the village for years, did most of the local ccjnveyancing, was postmaster, notary and a commissioner for taking affidavits. He was also the leading auctioneer of the district for years and was most successful in this line. He served in the municipal council of East Luther for several years both as councilor and deputy-reeve and the fact that he was always returned by a large majority attested his popularity with the farming com.nunity. In 1888 he secured the establishment of the Bell Telephone Co. in Oiand Valley and was the local man- ager until last May. When it became known in the Valley that Mr. Scott intended making Toronto his permanent home there wm a keen feeling of general local regret and Mr. Sci.tt was made the recipient of a touchingly worded farewell address from the citizens of the Valley and acci.mpanying the address was a substantial recognition of his talent and worth as a friend and citizen.

In the brief 8[*ace at our disftosal we have recorded the success of for- mer boys of Duflferin in the Queen City <>f Canada and have, as far as possible, given a full list of former Dufferinites residing in that populous and progressive centre. We know there may be some to whom we have not done full justice and others who deserved more extended notice, but there has been at least the intention to give a fair and ni.partial narrative. The success of some of the old boys of DuflFerin is bright and inspiring, notaby th it of Mr. Long, the record of whose life is b.ke the history of Dick Whittington who went to London a penniless boy and eventually became Lord Mayor of tlie great metr )polis. The little broclvure should surely be an inspiration to others who leave the county in search of fortune, for they will read in it of the successes ot Dufferinites before them. We trust that when the next excursion of reunion and rejoicing of old Duflferin boys in Toronto takes place to Orangeville there will be a still lartjer honor roll of names and that the pamphlet on that occasion recording trials and victories will, warranted by the new circumstances, be more pre- tentious than the present one. Success undoubtedly awaits every Dufterin old boy who leaves home and is faithfui to the precepts of home, school and church and we cannot end more appropriately than by saying to each of our boys who leaves his own county for. other parts : '*To thine own self be true. And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man." QUEEN'S HOTEL «<^ ORANGEVILLE ONTARIO . . . The Leading Commercial House . . . J. W.
