Bedeque Methodist homes may have lacked for money in the early days, yet for the most part. they considered themselves to be of respect- able birth and would have been mocked (as are their descendants) to know that probably ninety-five per cent. of the Methodist children born in Bedoquc up till 1832 were illegitimate, when in irhat_year the Col- onial Government rather belatedly passed a law (William IV Cap. 14. 1832), to confirm meninges made -by rion-conformist clergy, or by just- ices of the peace by virtue of licenses from the Ucutenent.

February 1948 is a moat unusual month. It starts on s Sunday and ends on o. Sunday and there are live Sundays in the month. This only happens three times in e century. It will not happen again until 197d. This February of 1848 is the first time since i920 that ‘there has been five Sundays in the month and before that the five-Sunday February occurred back in the year 1880. If 1800 had been a Leap Year. the five-Sun- day February would have ha/ppen- ed in 1806 but the one day that dropped out. than. put the five- Sunday event- off for twelve years. Since 1800 there was a five-Bun- .day February in,1l54. 1882, 1880 and‘ in 1920.

social custom for nearly the first hundred years of Bedeque history. Thoanas Hooper Sr. Major Hooper and Alexander Anderson were among

‘ the favourite Joiners of the early years. However, any parties desir-

my the blessing of the church were married by the Methodist min- fitcrs with no comrpunctions as to the legality of name. Rev. Thomas

, Payne. who commenced the circuit records, started well in 1822 by .

marrying two couples on Now Year's day.

The earliest legal marriage by a Methodist minister in Badeque was performed by Rev. Wm. Webb on the 20th day of September, 1832, when Gabriel Strong. settled on a farm later to be known es the Major Lowther property, in the newly opened Searlctown district, was snar- rled at Centreville to Ann Wright after publishing of balms.

Inland Development

As the older settlements of Bedeque and Tryon became crowded under the pressure of large families the population slowly spread into the inland districts. South West (later called Middleton) had tossed off its woody cloak to the axes of the Wrights, Kinlcys. Oralgs and others displaying fields as fertile as the shore farms of Bedeqise Bay. Scarle- town, too. ‘was opening up quickly with the children of Nathaniel Wright at Centrevilie forming an important part of ltd-population as compared to South West where the Wrights were of the Stephen and Frances‘ Wright family.

The early names of the several settlements of the Bedcque cir- cuit inslre an interesting record. The present Newton Road was for may years "Back Woods". Augustine Cove was inoro often known as Clerk's Place, and the “Creek" was the common name for Wilmot. Big Clear graphically described a place now K110111116 Bredrford, while South Share was the geographical label for present deyOhelton: Of the early map-given names, Bedeque has been referred to previously. The charming river of the settlement was named Dunk, by Captain Holland, the map maker of .1784; in honour of a member of‘ the peer- age. George Montague Dunk, the second Earl of Halifax. Wilmotfis stylish name was after the 1764 Governor of Nova Scotis. of which the Island then formed a. ‘cart. Lt. Colonel Montagu Wllrnot. .

Even the new districts around Bedieque and ‘Iryon could not seem to hold the growing population and soon there was a westward surge to thetawnshlps of Prince County. still largely unsettled. The Bedequa Methodist circuit in 1833 extended its mothering viring as fer as West Cape where Rev. William Webb baptised aix Pollard children 1n that settlement. Margate and New London, still without regular preaching, had many of their children bnptlzcd at. this period. New names ap- pearing in the Baptismal records at this time included Welsh and Fish at Bedeque, Oostin at Seven Mile Bay. Inman at "Usable". and bre- la-nd at Oraipeud.

In 1834 Joseph Pope oi Bedeque led the poll at. the Prince County elect‘ of four members -for the House of Assembly. 'R.unning his first election in 1830. he had succeeded his lather-ln-law. Alexander Campbell, as cquc’e representative and web to hold the seat. for the rest. of his yearsin Bedeque. John Lord of Tryon finally achieved his life-long ambition in the 1834 election by running third to win a seat. in the Assembly as repressntjtive for PrincePOounty which was still one voting district, with four representatives. As many as wished could nominate on election day and failing to do o at Princetown. where the poll opened on 17th November, 1884, oppor unitywas offal-ed at Bedcqle where the poll adjourned 24th November. or Hill Town (Alberton) wherrlt further adjourned and was brought to a. close 2nd December. A candidate nominated at this election made e record’ of a sort in not. receiving a singly vote.

Mr. Wilson's Ministry

The stimulating succession of Wesleyan missionaries at lsdaque continued. Rev. William Wilson. who came in 1884, for a full three- Fflll‘ pastorate. was e popular lively figure who. ea the more staid rrieuibersnad his congregation thought. did not draw a aloaa enough line between the serious and trifling, though hirpeatorete was marked with progress right through. A-t District Meeting in 1888 the Bedaque min- ister reported to the brethren that it wee proposed to build four new chapels on his circuit: I

"One at Tryon 42 x 38 with 20 fool. poet;

One at (Xi-spend 3d x 28 for which £180 lied been subscribed; One atNew London 82x32 for which £80 hadbean subscribed; One at 8t. Helen's for which Q0 was subscribed."

The latter was never ernnpleted as fer as can be traced in the fee- ‘onh, and indeed the place name remains a mystery, unless it was an incorrect transcription of ‘Qt. Roscoe's.

‘though nonfat the churches planned for the circuit were corn- ploted in his pastorate. Ir. Wilson was pl

Kenslngton Hockey

The Legion team battled the New Annsn team on oven (emu for fifty minutes of hockey on the night of January 28 before fell- ing behind by one goal.

New Annan had the hardest game of the season on their hands as the Legion kept send- ibg wave after wave of attackers up the ice. It would not be mu- prlsing if the Legion team is around when the cup is presented

' at the end of the playing season.

The first. period saw New Ann- an scoring first. but. having the Legion match it on the next face- otf. Play was first. in one end and then the other. each team match- ing the score made by opposing teem. Period ending three-all.

The second period was about five minutes old when Willis Burt snared a loose puck and boat. Mr» lnnls cleanly. The lead was short lived however. as Wendell Mill put New Annan up with his third goal of the night. Period ending New Annan ti, Legion 4.

The third period was possibly the fastest of the three as each team was out to win. but the goals iverc scarce ns each goalie turned in a creditable performance.

Final ecore, Now Annan 6. Leg- ion ii.
