Daniel Ira Plumsteel of St. Cath- arines,, born in Prescott County, Ont., July 7th, 1819, celebrated his centennial on Monday. On Sunday the congregation of the Welland Ave. Methodist church presented him with a purse bf gold—one golden dollar for each year of his life. Rev, R. D. Hamilton remarked that the cen- tenarian's attendance record at the church for the past two years had been" the best of any member. He has resided in St. Catharines and dis- trict for sixty -live. years. Mr. Plum - steel is an uncle of. our esteemed townsman, Mr. H. . Plumsteel, WITH STOLEN PROPERTY. On Sunday evening Chief Fitzsim- ons, on advice from doderich, arrest- ed a young man who} appeared in town. with a horse and buggy which he hail stolen from a' church shed in the county town the same morning. The lad was about seventeen years of age and had been working for W. Young, a farmer in Colborne town- ship. The horse and rig belonged to .Joseph Priddle. Chief Fitzsimons noti0ed Goderich of the arrest and Constable Gundry came down and got the prisoner,who was tried and convicted before the magistrate on Monday at 'Goderich. HONOURED FORMER MEMBER. On Tuesday evening the members of the Girls' Auxiliary motored out to Varna and spent a couple of. hours very pleasantly at -the home of Mrs. J. Seeley, During the, evening Miss Cuninghame read` an address to Mrs.. Seeley and Mibs O'Neil presented her on behalf of the society, with a pret- ty piece of china. Ice cream, cake, raspberry- pie, etc., was afterwards served and a jolly time put in. Mrs. Seeley was'an indefatigable worker in the' society during her residence in Clinton and the members took this opportunity of expressing their ap- preciation. Messrs, Libby and Lavis took' the young ladies ,over in their motor cars. KEEP AN EYE ON 'EM, The residents of Rattenbury sheet, east; have petitioned the council not to grant permission to tthe Bell Tele- phone Company tto place poles and wires along the street. The matter is ,still under advisement. The Company, it appears, is willing to guarantee that no injury will be done to the trees as a cable would he used. This is one of the prettiest streets in town .and if it; is possible to keep unsightly poles and wires off it it should be done. And, if permission is given it will be well to keep a wat- chful eye about while the work is be- ing done. The Telephone Company cares not a,rap about the beauty of Clinton's streets. Its chief, concern is to give the..best telephone service possible at the lowest possible cost to itself. Clinton citizens will have to look out for their own streets. The Telephone Company had demon- strated what it can do to ilestroY trees on other: streets in Clinton. IS IT WITCHCRAFT? One would have supposed that we had progressed a good long way from the days when witches were tried and often burned at the stake, But last week in the County Judge's Criminal Court at Goderich Miss Margaret Pollock of Morris township was tried before Judge :Dickson en a charge of fortune-telling. Miss Pollock has had, it appears, a reputation as a clairvoyant for some years and a couple of witnesses were brought to prove that she had on More than one occasion told people how to recover . things which had been lost or stolen. The particular case which resulted in tlia charge be- ing brought against her was in re- gard to her alleged description of the location of scone stolen grayin. Miss Pollock claimed to have the power of communication With the spirit world and said she had had it from) child- hood and for some time was not aware that slie differed from other People in this respect. For years her assistance has been sought by people with problems of one sort and aforo 'charge nether, She made n g' such 1101 i t i milted acco t !t ttl in 1 b p g 4 "gratuity," A higher court will consider the ease before eentence is given.

On Wednesday morning of last week Mr. A. Hooper hitched up his Ford auto; which is now in its seventh season, and combining business with pleasure, called at Exeter, Centralia, London, Ingersoll and Stratford. On returning at night to Clinton he found he lead covered over 165 miles. Mr: Hooper thinks that is not so bad for a 'car which a great many would have scrapped before this. Mr. Hoop- er assures us lie has not had to stop on the road once this summer so far to fix a puncture or blow out. THE CHOIR ENTERTAINED. Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Wallis enter- tained the members of Wesley church choir and a few other friends at their home on Friday evening last.

Reformer : Day before yes- terday a perfectly nice lady called up and with tears in, her voice reproved us for not mentioning the fact that she had a friend visiting her last week. We told her that site had not let us know that she had a visitor. Then she said ' "Well you should have known. I thought you were running a newspaper I" Wouldn't that rattle your slats 3 Some people think elle editor -ought to be a cross between Argus and Anna rya Fay, They seem to think that our five senses are aagmoftted by a sixth that lets us know everything that hap- pens, even if we see, hear, fee1, taste or smell it not. Dear lady, 'sows- papermen are only human, or at least almost human.

That's the Way to get it it the paper. THE N New Methodist Ministers Rev. S. Anderson M. 5; Anderson, the new pastor of Ontario street church, arrived with his family last week and they are now becoming nicely settled in the parsonage. Mr. Anderson was born in Elgin County of Scotch -Irish parentage, which, Mr. Anderson says, is a first- class mixture. He was educated at St. Thomas Collegiate and Victoria College, Cohourg, He entered the Methodist ministry in 1885 and was ordained at Chatham in 1890. His first charge was Peelee Island and since that he .has supplied the fol- lowing charges in succession : Cam- lachle, Warwick, Kirkton, Blyth, Memorial church, London, which he served for seven years, and Lambeth, from which charge he canle,on here. Mr. Anderson has a family of nine, Rev. E. L., Anderson of Bayfield be- ing' his eldest son. There is Carman Anderson of the W. R. Brock Co., Toronto, E. Creswell, who spent three years overseas at No. 1 Can- adian Casualty Clearing Station ; WilTram S., who trained in the Royal Navy Flying Corps and served in Greece, where he was severely injur- ed when lois machine crashed, and Nelles C".,. all three students of West- ern University, Gershum and Helen of the London Collegiate and Sadie and Blyth. During the holiday per- iod most of these young people will be at home. Before leaving Lambeth Mr. and Mrs, Anderson were given a farewell and were presented with an address and a purse of $250. On their ar- rival here they were also given a warns reception in the church by the congregation on Thursday evening, Thi6 not being his first charge in this district, of which he is, chair- man, Mr. Anderson docs not feel at all strange here and both he and Mrs. Anderson are very favorably im- pressed with the town and the splen- did opportunities for service in the congregation. 11Ir. Anderson is genial and com- panionable, a man who will make friends quickly and who will put his whole soul into his work. We be- speak for him and his family a hap - p3' sojourn in Clinton, Rev. D. N. McCamus The Rev. D. N. Mc0amus, whe preached the initial sermons of his pastorate in Wesley church on Sun- day, began his ministry in the Bay, of Quinte conference. While stationed in Cobourg in 1901 Mr. McCamus received an invitation to Central Methodist, church, Sarnia,, which brought him to the Loudon conference in which he has since re- mained. Since then he has had charges at Listowel, St.- Marys, Col- borne street, London, and Blenheim. 111r, McCamus has on many occa- sions served as chairman of the dis- trict in which the was placed and in 1910 he was president of the: London Conference. He enjoys to a large degree 'the esteem of his brethren in the ministry as well as that of the people on. the charges where he has ministered. Their coming to Clinton had a peculiar interest for. Mr, and Mrs. McCamus because of the fact that Goderich was Mrs. McCamus' former home, where she resided prior to her marriage and this is the nearest; their itinerary has brought them to the old town. Mr. and AIrs, McC'amus Have a family of three daughters and two sons, three of whom are teachers, one a nurse -in -training at the West- ern Hospital, Toronto, and one, Miss Marion, who accompanied her par- ents to Clinton, is a student at the Toronto University. Air. AJcCamus expresses himself as pleased with the prospects in Clin- ton. He has not been able to get properly settled as yet owing to the fact that his household effects were delayed in transit, but when that is accomplished and he can got ac- quainted with the people he looks forward to enjoying the work in Clinton and, knowing the good peo- ple of Wesley congregation, we reel sure there will he mutual pleasure and profit in Mr. McCanns' pastor- ate. - Rev. S. E. McKegney, M.C., Addresses Orangemen Murphy L.0.1,, No, 710 and many from surrounding lodges attended divine service in St. Paul's church on' Sunday afternoon last when the rector, Rev. S. E. McKegney, AI.C., gave an address, taking for the basis Of his remarks verses 5, 6 and 7 of the 4th of Joshua. He was listened to with attention by the large aud- ience present. The entire centre of the auditoritun was filled with mem- bers of the order, The choir ren- dered appropriate music during the service. The preacher spoke in part as follows : "The people of Israel were the chosen .. of God to prepare the world for the coming of the Messiah. They were continually reminded of their great history by means of holy places and holy days. The British people have taught and are teaching the world. the great lessonsof civil and religious liberty. The Orange Society reminds the, people of how (304 saved the British ,;Jiinpire and consequently our liberties 'at the Battle of the, Boyne in 1690. The remembrance or' the great price paid for our liberty is a stimulus to ev- eryone to see that it handed en to those who come after. The Orange Order is opposed to the Roman Catholic Church not he - cause it wants to interline with any man's belief, but because the Roman Church interferes with our religion where she has the power. In short that she mixes politics and religion. And We believe that clericalism is bad for any dation. In these days our thoughts go out to our brethren in Ireland. And to them we extend our active sympathy when they are threatened with such a menace to their liberties as Home Rule. The Irish Protestant objects to lIomo Rut for Rule o two reasons : First he is loyal to the Empire whereas those who want I -Tonle Rule are disloyal. During the war Ulster sacrificed her best, The others not only did not enlist but actively ob- strueted the winning of the war, In Dublin in Beater week 1916 polite men and soldiers on leave were mur- dered in cold blood for the simple reason that they wore the King's un- iform. Even at this moment thousy ands of soldiers are stationed in Ire- land to prevent a t rebellion. Last Sunday the Union Jack was publicly, trampled upon in Dublin. The Ulsterman is determined that by God's help he will not be domin- ated by such traitors, His second objection to Home Rule is that a parliament in Dublin• would have a majority of Roman Cathollcs, and 11e fears a government that wouldi be controlled by the Roman Bishops. Some of the Home Rulers and Sinn Feiners say they wont prosecute us, but if they would show now some independence of the Church we plight trust thein, but they have failed to do so even when the McCann case 0)11110 up—an iniquitous example of the working of the Papal Ne Temre Decree. In Canada the Orange Order stands for British connection, one schooh and one language. The Order cul- tivates a spirit of unity among Protestants. Some men think they. do God service when they get a man to leave one church and join ymother, if we are in earnest about Christian unity let us get rid or such a nar- row-minded .spirit and remember that whatever else Christianity means it certainly means, "to do onto others as you would they should do into you," Through our miserable jeal- ousy we have banished the Bible from our Public schools and a generation is growing and has grown up that is ignorant of the Book of Books. It is very Iittle use having 11 in the elder place in our churches and on the al- tars in our lodge rooms, if ib stays on a dusty shelf at home. The Order is a great link itt the Empire teaching us always great great principlesl es or civil and religiousleas liberty for which the lla p i1e stands, The Empire has just come through the Great War, risking all for the great principle, Britain is looked up to as the nation of the great ideal and Orangemen will do their part in masking Canada a worthy Part of iv great Efapircr''i , , , r • • 4 (: INCORPORATED 1855J••••••. :: F111 MQLSDNS,BANII I Capital and Reserve $8,800,000 Over I00 Branches scattered through Canada A General Banking Business Transacted, h Circular.Lbtte.rs of Credit Bank Money Orders, Savings Bank Department.

This is one of the prettiest streets in town .and if it; is possible to keep unsightly poles and wires off it it should be done. And, if permission is given it will be well to keep a wat- chful eye about while the work is be- ing done. The Telephone Company cares not a,rap about the beauty of Clinton's streets. Its chief, concern is to give the..best telephone service possible at the lowest possible cost to itself. Clinton citizens will have to look out for their own streets. The Telephone Company had demon- strated what it can do to ilestroY trees on other: streets in Clinton. IS IT WITCHCRAFT? One would have supposed that we had progressed a good long way from the days when witches were tried and often burned at the stake, But last week in the County Judge's Criminal Court at Goderich Miss Margaret Pollock of Morris township was tried before Judge :Dickson en a charge of fortune-telling. Miss Pollock has had, it appears, a reputation as a clairvoyant for some years and a couple of witnesses were brought to prove that she had on More than one occasion told people how to recover . things which had been lost or stolen. The particular case which resulted in tlia charge be- ing brought against her was in re- gard to her alleged description of the location of scone stolen grayin. Miss Pollock claimed to have the power of communication With the spirit world and said she had had it from) child- hood and for some time was not aware that slie differed from other People in this respect. For years her assistance has been sought by people with problems of one sort and aforo 'charge nether, She made n g' such 1101 i t i milted acco t !t ttl in 1 b p g 4 "gratuity," A higher court will consider the ease before eentence is given.

Anderson M. 5; Anderson, the new pastor of Ontario street church, arrived with his family last week and they are now becoming nicely settled in the parsonage. Mr. Anderson was born in Elgin County of Scotch -Irish parentage, which, Mr. Anderson says, is a first- class mixture. He was educated at St. Thomas Collegiate and Victoria College, Cohourg, He entered the Methodist ministry in 1885 and was ordained at Chatham in 1890. His first charge was Peelee Island and since that he .has supplied the fol- lowing charges in succession : Cam- lachle, Warwick, Kirkton, Blyth, Memorial church, London, which he served for seven years, and Lambeth, from which charge he canle,on here. Mr. Anderson has a family of nine, Rev. E. L., Anderson of Bayfield be- ing' his eldest son. There is Carman Anderson of the W. R. Brock Co., Toronto, E. Creswell, who spent three years overseas at No. 1 Can- adian Casualty Clearing Station ; WilTram S., who trained in the Royal Navy Flying Corps and served in Greece, where he was severely injur- ed when lois machine crashed, and Nelles C".,. all three students of West- ern University, Gershum and Helen of the London Collegiate and Sadie and Blyth. During the holiday per- iod most of these young people will be at home. Before leaving Lambeth Mr. and Mrs, Anderson were given a farewell and were presented with an address and a purse of $250. On their ar- rival here they were also given a warns reception in the church by the congregation on Thursday evening, Thi6 not being his first charge in this district, of which he is, chair- man, Mr. Anderson docs not feel at all strange here and both he and Mrs. Anderson are very favorably im- pressed with the town and the splen- did opportunities for service in the congregation. 11Ir. Anderson is genial and com- panionable, a man who will make friends quickly and who will put his whole soul into his work. We be- speak for him and his family a hap - p3' sojourn in Clinton, Rev. D. N. McCamus The Rev. D. N. Mc0amus, whe preached the initial sermons of his pastorate in Wesley church on Sun- day, began his ministry in the Bay, of Quinte conference. While stationed in Cobourg in 1901 Mr. McCamus received an invitation to Central Methodist, church, Sarnia,, which brought him to the Loudon conference in which he has since re- mained. Since then he has had charges at Listowel, St.- Marys, Col- borne street, London, and Blenheim. 111r, McCamus has on many occa- sions served as chairman of the dis- trict in which the was placed and in 1910 he was president of the: London Conference. He enjoys to a large degree 'the esteem of his brethren in the ministry as well as that of the people on. the charges where he has ministered. Their coming to Clinton had a peculiar interest for. Mr, and Mrs. McCamus because of the fact that Goderich was Mrs. McCamus' former home, where she resided prior to her marriage and this is the nearest; their itinerary has brought them to the old town. Mr. and AIrs, McC'amus Have a family of three daughters and two sons, three of whom are teachers, one a nurse -in -training at the West- ern Hospital, Toronto, and one, Miss Marion, who accompanied her par- ents to Clinton, is a student at the Toronto University. Air. AJcCamus expresses himself as pleased with the prospects in Clin- ton. He has not been able to get properly settled as yet owing to the fact that his household effects were delayed in transit, but when that is accomplished and he can got ac- quainted with the people he looks forward to enjoying the work in Clinton and, knowing the good peo- ple of Wesley congregation, we reel sure there will he mutual pleasure and profit in Mr. McCanns' pastor- ate. - Rev. S. E. McKegney, M.C., Addresses Orangemen Murphy L.0.1,, No, 710 and many from surrounding lodges attended divine service in St. Paul's church on' Sunday afternoon last when the rector, Rev. S. E. McKegney, AI.C., gave an address, taking for the basis Of his remarks verses 5, 6 and 7 of the 4th of Joshua. He was listened to with attention by the large aud- ience present. The entire centre of the auditoritun was filled with mem- bers of the order, The choir ren- dered appropriate music during the service. The preacher spoke in part as follows : "The people of Israel were the chosen .. of God to prepare the world for the coming of the Messiah. They were continually reminded of their great history by means of holy places and holy days. The British people have taught and are teaching the world. the great lessonsof civil and religious liberty. The Orange Society reminds the, people of how (304 saved the British ,;Jiinpire and consequently our liberties 'at the Battle of the, Boyne in 1690. The remembrance or' the great price paid for our liberty is a stimulus to ev- eryone to see that it handed en to those who come after. The Orange Order is opposed to the Roman Catholic Church not he - cause it wants to interline with any man's belief, but because the Roman Church interferes with our religion where she has the power. In short that she mixes politics and religion. And We believe that clericalism is bad for any dation. In these days our thoughts go out to our brethren in Ireland. And to them we extend our active sympathy when they are threatened with such a menace to their liberties as Home Rule. The Irish Protestant objects to lIomo Rut for Rule o two reasons : First he is loyal to the Empire whereas those who want I -Tonle Rule are disloyal. During the war Ulster sacrificed her best, The others not only did not enlist but actively ob- strueted the winning of the war, In Dublin in Beater week 1916 polite men and soldiers on leave were mur- dered in cold blood for the simple reason that they wore the King's un- iform. Even at this moment thousy ands of soldiers are stationed in Ire- land to prevent a t rebellion. Last Sunday the Union Jack was publicly, trampled upon in Dublin. The Ulsterman is determined that by God's help he will not be domin- ated by such traitors, His second objection to Home Rule is that a parliament in Dublin• would have a majority of Roman Cathollcs, and 11e fears a government that wouldi be controlled by the Roman Bishops. Some of the Home Rulers and Sinn Feiners say they wont prosecute us, but if they would show now some independence of the Church we plight trust thein, but they have failed to do so even when the McCann case 0)11110 up—an iniquitous example of the working of the Papal Ne Temre Decree. In Canada the Orange Order stands for British connection, one schooh and one language. The Order cul- tivates a spirit of unity among Protestants. Some men think they. do God service when they get a man to leave one church and join ymother, if we are in earnest about Christian unity let us get rid or such a nar- row-minded .spirit and remember that whatever else Christianity means it certainly means, "to do onto others as you would they should do into you," Through our miserable jeal- ousy we have banished the Bible from our Public schools and a generation is growing and has grown up that is ignorant of the Book of Books. It is very Iittle use having 11 in the elder place in our churches and on the al- tars in our lodge rooms, if ib stays on a dusty shelf at home. The Order is a great link itt the Empire teaching us always great great principlesl es or civil and religiousleas liberty for which the lla p i1e stands, The Empire has just come through the Great War, risking all for the great principle, Britain is looked up to as the nation of the great ideal and Orangemen will do their part in masking Canada a worthy Part of iv great Efapircr''i , , , r • • 4
