Flashbacks of Days Gone-By
By W, J.-Plenty
All, this Coronation news of the past
couple of weeks brought to my mind
aome interesting incidents of the long
moo,
queen Victoria's Diamond jubilee
was being becomingly celebrated by
the town of Clinton. The town council
bad offered a prize for the most ap-
propriately dressed store show win-
dow, There was keen competition, but
the winner was a man named Ogle
Cooper, who had a grocery and china
shop. He had in one window an easel,
and on it was a large picture of Queen
Victoria. Over the picture was one
of those old-fashioned umbrellas such
as was commonly used as a sunshade
by the driver of a one-horse wagon.
'The inscription at the bottom of the
'picture was no doubt the source of the
prize. It simply said, "Let 'er Reign."
Peculiar Promutelations
News was flashed over the wires
that the Czar of Russia had passed
away. This Czar was the father of the
Czar, who, with his family, was assns-
mated, and the rule of the Czars
brought to an untimely conclusion.
The writer was at that time a boy in
his teens and was standing in the
post office, then located where Mr.
Wm, Clark has his place of business.
Two of Wingharree best known
zens, call them Bill and George, were
there waiting for the mail to be sort-
ed. I Pave to use some peculiar spell-
ing to convey the proniincietions used
in the short dialogue that took place,
as follows: Said Bill to George, "The
'Zest of Russia is dead." Replied
George, "Is the Geezer of Roosia
dead?" These citizens of Wingha.m
would be well remembered if their
names were given.
Recalls Old Building
Standing watching the finishing
touches being put on the cement block
and brick Pattison building on Joseph-
ine street, a farmer friend came along
And remarked• that many a time he
had his harness repaired by Charlie
Knechtel in where this new place now
stands.
t Yes, Charlie Knechtel had a harness
shop in the north side of the frame
building that had stood there for per-
haps half a century, It had contained
many tenants in its time.
There was Tommy Black's billiards
;and pool room in the south portion,
:This place was anathema to some
;people. One Sunday night a clergy-
man made caustic reference to it as a
vile den of iniquity. A couple of days

'rout's Hall Busy Place
Prout's Hall on Victoria street, loc-
ated near Fry & Blackhall's furniture
factory, was a two-storey frame build-
ing. The owner was a painter and in-
terior decorator and occupied the
ground floor. The hall was upstairs
and was the principal place in Owe,
for travelling cOheert and theatrical
companies, also local entertainments.
One Sunday afternoon a man calling
himself Ex-Fraciscan Monk Widows
was widely advertised to deliver an
address, During his remarks he took
occasion to pay his respects to the
Davis family in general, one of whom
was our respected citizen Harry
Davis. But William and John Davis
of Mitchell, publishers of The Advoc-
ate, came in for a vindictive, spiteful
tongue-lashing. Following his meeting
he was walking toward Josephine
street when Harry Davis came up to
him from behind, caught him by the
shoulder and turned him around. Mr,
Davis said to him, "You had a good
deal to say about my family this af-
ternoon," then he delivered a heavy
blow to Widow's face.
Citizens close at hand intervened to
stop any further trouble, A couple of
week's later a court case was held, Mr.
Davis being -charged with assault.
Evidence was so conclusive that the
accused was fined one dollar,
