The meeting advocated getting the T. G. & B. Railway to run in here. Among the speakers at this meet- mg were Dr. Fleming, George McKibbon, and Allan McLean. From then until the railway came, on~Nov. 16, ’74, it was the chief matter in the public eye. Culross voted 3, bonus of $38 000 to assist the T. G. and B. Railway to enter this part of Bruce.

This fine building had been completed in 1867, and was the workmanship of Messrs. Sam’Kirkland and Alex Mcâ€" Donald.
