Hello Listers, Today I was at the National Library of Quebec & was looking at some old Granby Leader Mail/s ! I don't have much time to do this.. but in the future I'll cull out anything I see of interest - that is "different" . 1896, Oct 3 page 3 under the heading "among our neighbours" Chester Aiken of Dunkin caught a 300 lb black bear the other day. +++++++ 1896 Oct 3 & Oct 4 - two mentions of Mr LS Channell of the Cookshire Chronicle is obliged to go to Colorado on account of his health which is very bad. He will be there until Spring. ++++++ If you want me to cull out anything like this that I see -- in E Twps papers..in the future..I'll do so. Haven't a lot of time to give this but it might prove interesting to everyone to see different items that give a broader view of what life was like in the E Twps yrs ago. I don't think we had bears this far west --in my life time.. though anyone who's read the local histories knows they were there in the early yrs. Bye now..Pennie
