A Pioneer Of 1834

Mr. O. Gooding of York towii ship, and his son B. F. Gooding, made the Argus a pleasant cali Monday afternoon. Mr. Gooding is one of the sturdy pioneers of the county, having settied where he now lives in 1834. During the sixty years that have since elapsed, he has witnessed many and marvelous changes. Píe has seen the wilderness recede and give place tobeautiful farms and the logcabinsof early days replaced by the stately dwellings of the present. Although the snows of eighty-three winters whiten his head, he is still hale and hearty and enjoys telling tales of "ye olden time" and discussing the political happenings of the present, regarding which he keeps well posted. The number of these reminders of a former generation is becoming smaller with each passing year but it is a pleasure to meet those who still linger among us and listen to the reminiscence of an age that has passed forever.
