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. .

lett and to the courtesy of fie gen-

Mr. Jas. Campbell. It will be seen
that the townshipwas dist organiz-

the Township of Morris. Thomas
McMichael was 'the first Reeve ;
Thomas Bingham, Assessor, Donald
Scott, Collector and James Allen,

for the same farm lots during the
fifty-eight years. Few :municipali-

"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-

subjects of .fruit growing and poultry -
raising. The chair was. occupied • 1'y
Mr, D. Cantelon of Clinton.
Prof. McNe:1, in dealing with - the
question of fruit growing, laid !pent
stress upon the importance of spray-
ing and in the cultivation of the
soil of orchards. A heavy Crop
.should not he grown in the - orchard,
though a light one, one that would
not tart the soil too much, would
dono harm. But the soil should
be-celtivatedand kept stirred. -
Prof. 'Gilbert gave some exeellent
pointers on the poultry industry.
One thing he 'emphasized was that
all eggs should be marketed when
fresh. "Some farmers,1' said Prof.
Gilbert, .: Mike to - keep their eggs
until they have a great lot, but this
is a mistake, for the first gathered
of these are stale before they ever

WHY BACKS ACBE.

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.

backaches are the symptoms of or-

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
