BOOK STORE CLINTON Breezy Rayfield Happenings, The Passing. of Time. Stinson. There died on the Sauble Line, Stanley, on Monday last a line spec- imen of the early settlers of the County of Huron in the person of Thomas Stinson, who had .reached the great age of eighty-eight years and nine months. ,Me. Stinson was p. native of Gal- Way, Ireland. Ile was one of a family of sehree . sons and one Baugh, ter, the only surviving member of the family now .being a brother, An- drew, of Ripley. Mr. Stinson was nineteen years of ago when his family came to this. country, his father coming out a year before sending for his family. Mr. Stinson first settled, upon a farm near where Varna now stands•, the Dann being now occupied by Mr. John Galbraith, but for forty-eight years he has lbeen a resident:of the Sauble Line. When the country was young, about sixty 'years ago, Mr, Stinson was probably the first man in n t is dis- tricttrict to obtain a threshing machine. A. machine little enough like those of our moderntime, no doubt, but ler sixteen • years Mr, Stimson threshed the grain of his neighborsin three or four townships with this prima- ti'e thresher.. Also in. :the early time, when municipalities granted the liquor licenses, he was license inspec- tor for the township of ;Stanley. Mr, Stinson was an Anglican, and when younger took an .active part in ,the work• of the Church, helping to build Trinity . church here and also 'the rectory, He was a life-long Orangeman,. being a charter member of L.O.L. No. 24. The deceased was twice married., his first wife dying in 1864. Some time later he married again but his second wife predeceased him three years. He is survived by three children : a son, W. J. Stinson; arid a daughter, Mrs.. Stilwell, on the homestead, and a son, Thomas, elft west. The passing ;of thissturdy pioneer, full of years ,and • with a useful life behind him, a kindly man, beloved by his friends and esteemed by the community in which he had so long resided, banes. forcibly to mind the fact that one by one the men and women who bare the burden of pion- eer life in this county are leaving the scene of their early activities.. They bore the burden quietly, little dream- ing that their lives were heroic, and they leave their successors- eternally indebted to them. 4 Tho funeral, which was a very large one, about eighty rigs being in the cortege, took place on Wednesday afternoon to• Bayfield .cemetery, the services . being conducted. by Rev., Mr. Condell, rector, 'of Trinity chianti. The pallbearers. all 'nephewsof the deceased, were George, James, nob - ort and David DeWitt, D. C. and D, A. Galbraith. .

The News -Record is indebted for the following table of statistics, which will prove of much, interest to very, many et its readers; to the well kept records pf the Township of Hut. lett and to the courtesy of fie gen- ial and eoeciean Clerk and Treasurer, Mr. Jas. Campbell. It will be seen that the townshipwas dist organiz- ed in 1852, and then in union with the Township of Morris. Thomas McMichael was 'the first Reeve ; Thomas Bingham, Assessor, Donald Scott, Collector and James Allen, Clerk. The townships continued is union until 1855, when they became separate p . e m r' u .ttcnpalities, each manag- ing ann -ing its own affairs. Following gentlemen are still resident ratepay- ers of i1ullett, having been, assessed for the same farm lots during the fifty-eight years. Few :municipali- ties can shave a larger percentage cf "First Settlers." It will be 'observed that in Hul- lett the office of - Clerk' aad treasurer is and has always been combined, and that in all the years that it has been an organized municipality four men have held the office. The pres- ent clerk has filled the office . with. honor to himself and sat' +faction to the municiplaity for over twenty-one years. bir, Braithwaite, who held office before him heldit '�r tweet - three.

There is' more nonsense t'a'lked about backache then any other dis- ease. Some people have been fright- ened into the belief that every back- •aehe means deadly, kidney trouble, That is utter rubbish. - As a matter of scientific fact not one backache in twenty has anything to dowith the kidneys. Most backaches come . from sheer weakness and ki'deee.'drugs can't possibly cure that. ; You need mime - thing to • brace you 'tip and give you new strength . and that 'is. exactly what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will; do. • Other backaches are really - mus- cular rheumatism, and Dr. Williams' Pink Pilis have cured the worst cases of rheumatism by, driving the poison. ous acid out . of the blood. Other backaches are the symptoms of or- dinary . ailments such as influenza, in- digestion, • constipation . and liver complaint. In women backaches of- ten conic from the troubles that fol= low so surely on any weakness or' ir- regularity in the usual blood supply. The ohc way to cure theee backaches is to strike at the root of; the trou- ble with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which enrich the blood and bring utrength touching backs and weak nerves: Mr. Alex. Cockburn, Dolor- eine, .Mari., spas : "About three years ago X suffered terribly from back- ache. I consulted a doctor and took his medicine, and wore a plaster, but did not get the least relief.
