FIFTY YEARS AGO.
"Fifty years' ago today," said
Squire Snell of Mullett to The News
Record' on Thursday last, "we held
our first stock show in Clinton . and
on the ground about where the post-
of ee now stands." The Squire- has
been a continuous friend of the Show
and his active interest in it
and the superior quality of the stock
he has always exhibited has given
the ClintonStock Show a
recognized
standing among the best in the Pro-
vince.

THEY'RE HARD ;1T WORK,
'rhe members of the Young Ladies'
Auxiliary were very busy on Horse
Show Day as they had planned be-
' forehand to gather in as many shek-
els as possible on that day to add
to the funds of the Women's Pat-
riotic Society. They therefore made
it a sort of a "lag day" with lead
pencils as tags, and they also sold
homemade candy. As a result it
was reported at the meeting on Fri-
day evening that a net profit of ov-
er fifty dollars had been realized
from. -the sale of pencils and nearly
forty from the moldy. So good
was the candy that the supply ran
out long before the . demand was
satisfied, mucin to tine chagrin of
the young ladies. The inexlt venture
will be a "flower day" which will
bo held tine Saturday after Easter.
Miss Cuninghame is ordering the
Bowers, stacks of then, and the en-
tire profits from their sale will go
Auxiliary's

into the A }'t treasury.

and see to it ` that flags fly on

Mr. Freeman had always enjoyed
the very best of health, hardly knew
what, a day's illness meant, bet
while strong and vigorous in body
his eyesight failed some yoars agn'
and this was a great affliction as
previous to this he had been fond of
reading and by this'means was able
to keep well abreast of the ,times
and his interest up in the great
world outside. Even during the first
months of the: war he was much _in-
terested in it and by conversation
was able to keep himself potted, as
to how things were going. This in-
terest was natural as all 11is . grand-
sons, with the' exception of one who
is a clergyman, and all his grand
sons-in-law are in some capacity
serving. the Empire. But for the
past few months the things of this
life had faded from his mind and he
was just waiting, the summons ' to,
lay aside mortality for life.
A family of two daughters and one
son .survive : Mrs. Herman, Clinton, •
Mrs. Smith of London, England, and
Mr. Frank Freeman of Toronto.
The funeral took place. on Saturday
afternoon from the home of Mrs.
Herman, Victoria street, to Clinton
cemetery. The services at house
and graveside were conducted by
Rev. J, A. Robinsan, rector of St.
Paul's church of which deceased was
a member, and the pallbearers were
six members of the 161st Battalion
band, of which T. Herman, a grand-
son, is also a member. They Y were:
I1. and T. Fremlin, Geo. Cooper,
Glen Cook, T• Scott and B. Mundy.
Rev. F. Herman of Caledon East,
grandson of the deceased, was here
when the end came apd remained for dressed by Miss Gray, a missionary

merit, under the auspices of the of-
ficers of the 161st, was put on: in
the town hall by an amateur nnin-
strei trdupe from Cioderich. It was
