Clinton: "In the death of Mrs. Dodds on Friday last, there is removed from our miclat, one of the oldest resi- dents of the village, one who, by her kindness, neighborliness .and good will played a conspicuous part in t life '1� ler f of the community of over y half a century ago, all her demise is sincerely regretted by a large cir- cle of friends and acquaintances. The late Mrs. Dodds had been i11 for many weeks and almost from the first it was thought thab her chances ofrecover werei y Flight ht fromrice g fact ofher advanced age,c, and on Oise above mentioned dayshe epassede+ut, leaving behind her the remembrance of a well spent Christian life, wor- thy of emulation by all. Dece:asecl, whose maiden name was Mary Denholm, was born in Dunt- friesltsre, Scotland, nearly seventy- nine sears age. She came to Can- ada when six years of age, and the family settled in Paris, Ont. Later they moved to the township of Bev- erley, and here she was married fifty-nine years ago to Mr. Ironer Dodds and calm to Blyth eY h as a bride.

DRINKING TROUGH NEEDED. "We boast about our three drink- ing fountains," remarked a thought- ful and humane citizen to The News - Record the other day, "but they are all for humans, there is not a place in -town where a horse call get a drink." And that is true. There is a cement trough at the Normandie which used to supply liquid refresh- ment for horses on torrid days, but since the house has not been occupi- ed the trough has been dry. Why could not the town see that some provision is made for the faithful horse, he's still quite numerous in spite of the number of: autos, and he probably gets just as thirsty as ever, especially when the weather is as warns as it has been during the past week or so.

Refreshments were served at small tables, ice oreaun and cooling drinks being very popular] on such a warm evening. An interesting :feature was the de- monstration of a chemical fire ex- tinguisher, a fire being lighted and allowed .to blaze up before the ex- tinguisher was applied, which seemed to work wonderfully well.
