His father returned to (Eng- land but the remainder of the family embarked on a canal boat and travell- ed the whole length of the Erie Can- al to 13511410, From Buffalo they went to Detroit and engaged a sail- ing vessel to bring them tierces to Oodarich. A storm overtook them on the way over and as the sailors were not familiar with aha lake they put hack to Detroit„ after having, en- countcredconsiderable peril, On putting into Detroit harbor they found a CToderich boat there and managed to secure some of their crew to assist in getting across the lake. They reached 'Cloderich in safety this time and remained there three weeks before coming out to their farm, which they reached by lake, The aged mother died just six weeks atter reaching the new home and was burned on the farm. The family remained in the first house for Ove years tern built a new house. and barn. In 1841 Mr, Wallis died leav- ing his wife and young family to Face the difficulties of a new country alone. Caroline was the second oldest, the oldest being the late Mrs, Fraser of Britannia Road, Goderitch, and these two brave young girls heroically aid- ed their mother in managing the farm. Sometimes they had tile as- sistance of the late Robert and Barn- ard ,Snowden of Stanley for the work which their 'women's -hands could not aceomplisk, Ten ttrelir brother John, who was a sturdy Iad three years• younger than Caroline, grew up and was able to take over the management of the tarns.

After resitting there a few pears they moved to Exeter and engaged in the mercantile business and still later they resided for a time in Clinton and in; 1482 they settled upon a farm on the Lakeshore Road, half a imile south of the old homestead. Mrs'. McKenzie during her it eg and cventl,l life had enjoyed the hest of health until in the spring of 1015 she met with an accident which ren- dered her a cripple for the rest of her life. She was an unusually cheerful' and optimistic woman and she also' enjonad to the end the; use of her faculties, She was universally loved and respected for her many sterling qualities and kindness of heart and was held in the highest respect by her family.

Economize Wisely , --A Maxwell Car Will Help Waste is often committed when the in- tention is to economize. A Maxwell car, famous for its economy, will cost you only a few dollars a month to operate and maintain. Which is the real economy: (1) To use the car and save time,4' strength, and mental vigor? (2) To do without the car, lose time in your busi- nese, lose the health gained from motoring, and worry yourself into illness? Use of a Maxwell car will give you self confidence. Your neighbors and associates will get mental inspiration from you. As wave circles widen when a pebble hits the water, so will your gobd example bene- fit your entire community. Save—yes; but do it sensibly, and let the Maxwell help. Touring Car $1o45; Roadster Poo ; Coupe $r5.10 Berlin $r67o; Sedan $167o; F. O. B. Windsor SEELEY & BARTLIFF, Clinton 6 y Paper!"
