The season is now about over at the local poultry plant of the Gunn, Langlois Co, 25,000 birds have al- ready been handled. 7,000 of these. were hens which were shipped alive to New York City for the Jews who attach importance to their own method of killing. 1900 turkeys were taken in and shipped and about 3,000 geese and ducks, 13,000 chickens wore fed at the plant, about the same number as was put through last par. But the Holmesville station 'did not feed as many as last season. owing to a change in the market's requirements. The Clinton station. was, as last season, in charge of Mr. H. .7, Trewartha to whose close supervision and expert knowledge of Poultry the success of the feeding end of the Coinpan}!'s business hero is in no small measure due. AN INTERESTING ADDRESS. , At the regular meeting of the Tra- vel Club at the home of Mrs. Farean on Saturday evening last Mr. W. 13. IIale gave an address on life and conditions in Mexico, where ho has spent a, number of years, .Mr. hale is an easy and graceful speaker, is a kern observer and pos- sessed of a pleasing • sense of hutrlour, ( and 'Pot an hour he talked most in- terestingly of the people, manners and nustoms in that troubled repub- lic, whose affairs, until overshadowed by 'the upheavel in Europe, had pret- ty much, occupied the minds of the whole American continent for many months, In speaking of- the language, Spanish, which, by the way, Mr. Hale hail acgbired hcfonle going to ,Mexico, he described it as a beautiful language: and one which, owing to the fact of its cooling second to English in point -of usuage, he thought should he taught mere. commonly. In fact, Mr. Hale expressed i t as his opinion on that if any other than Englidh is taught that oth- er should be Spanish, Nir. IIa1e de- scribed many) characteristics of the people of Mexico, 'their ;manner of. liv- ing, amusements, etc., giving in detail a description of - the great national sport of bull -fighting, NIr. I•Iale said that usually the first time an cAmeric- at or Canadian, especially! women, saw a hull fight they were unfeignedly horrified, buts strange as it night appear, they almost invariably went back, and yet again went hack; How.- ever, as Mr. Male ' to vavidly. described it it commended 'itself as an anuae- meat to but few of the ladies pre- sent. Mr. •Male was for several years an ff employe of the Mexican Government( !1� under President Madero, being one of the very few foreigners so favored, and therefore spoke with personal knowledge of the manner of Govern- ment. His opinion is that while outwardly' and nomiunl'ly a republic, the government must be a despotic ono until the people become educated up to the point of being capable of self-government. Mr. Hale also describer 'somewhat the climate, which owing to the dif- ference"in elevation is ,exceedingly varied. Mexico City, owing to its high elevation, has a climate which is 'very trying to most people and Canadians and Americans, especially women, cannot continue to live there without frequent visits to a lower latitude. the also spoke 'of the fas- cination the country haus for 'anyone who remains there for any length of time, For instance, many men of his acquaintance would decide to leave the ,'countr•y,."Woad "pull up stakes" as it were and say good-bye to their old friends hvith the remark that they were going back to "God's country.' "I learned," observed Mr, Hale, "not to be at all surprised to Meet such a man is the street not many months later, ,Few can resist the fascination the country! holds for them They ;invariably want to re- turn.'' But ,an conclusion Mr: Hale said that circumstances had foiced' him to return, for; a time at least, to what was really "God's cotur •try," Canada. ' At he conclusion of his address Mr. IIale very kindly gave the ladles an opportunity of asking questions and a few minutes were spelt in in- teresting conversation.. president, The 1 esrdent Mrs. Cr D. M - g OTa girt, and seeelary, Miss E. Chidley, in a few graceful words "i3oved a vote .of thanks to the speaker which washeartily endorsed and tendered Mr, Hale for a most interesting and instructive evening.

Mr. Fear is a native of Devonshire, England, and cape to this country, with his father in 1840. That was the year the cholera was bad in Canada and Mr. Foal, Sr., contracted the dread disease while • passing through Kingston, where it was epidemic and where terrible sights stet the eylcs of the newly -arrived travellers, and ivitltin ten days from tho time he landed in Brampton he was buried.

In fact there were but a few houses then at "The C'miners, '' Rat- tenbury's log tavern being then the resting place for travellers. For some years he worked with the, farm- ers during the summer clearing so many' acres of land on his own farm during the winter as settlement dut- ies. IJo also built a couple of houses in Clinton and resided in town for about: four }ears while he worked as a framer. In 1801 he traded tite farm on the eighth fox the one he now oc- cupies on the Gravel Road and there he has resided ever since. When the land was cleared suffi- ciently t tv grow grain 'n it was market- ed in Clinton, having to be hauled around by the Base Line, the Gravel Roar( not being opened up as yet. When Mr, Fear first saw Clinton it was surrounded by forest, the An- drews farm wihiclt is now inside the corporation, having some clearing on it, but the other farms around were almost solid bush. By dint of hard work and economy' Mr, tear had succeeded in gathering together enough money to , pay for his farm, This money he had out at intereat e es,t but when n tile payment came duo he was unable to collect it and Mr. Fear was obliged to borrow one hundred pounds to meet the payment. This was loaned • at so much per month, the amount being equivalent to ninety-five percent. NIr, Jonas 0ibbings, father of Messrs. Thomas and John Gibbiugs of town, backed tris 11050 fol: the money.
