"Ontario's Lieutenant-Governor Earl Rowe, who has been very gracious in attending functions in this, his home area, was unable to be present at the official opening of Bradford's new federal building last week and sent an expression of regret for his inability to attend. Mr. Rowe and his family have been experiencing a trying ordeal because of the serious illness of his son, William E. Rowe, in Toronto General Hospital. "Bill," as he is familiarly known by his friend locally, underwent another operation on Monday of this week, when it is believed the remaining pressure on his brain was successfully removed. Though his condition is still critical, he came through the operation in as good condition as could be expected, and the operation gives hope for a good recovery."
"To the Editors of the South Simcoe Times. Five months of the year are gone, and yet no indication of any attempt to forward the erection of the building, although the means to do so are said to be at hand. Do our Councilmen image they can play possum in this manner, or make it a stalking ... to ride into office next year. If they so think, there is one who will do what he can to "lave them at home," undisturbed for the remainder of their natural lives, for as sure as Jupiter forges thunderbolts, not a soul of them will ever control the affairs of the village hereafter, if it can, with the help of others beside himself, be prevented by Terence O'Know-You0Don't Bradford, May 3, 1862."
