BACK FROM MEXICO.
Mr. William 11, Hale, S011 i the
late Horatio Hale. and brother of
Mr. 0. B. Hale 'of town, is spending
the Christmas holiday time in Can-
ada and is at present the guest of
his brother in Clinton.
Mr. Hale has been nine years' in
the Republic of Mexico, seven pears
in Mexico' City and the past two
at the port of Vera Cress where he
is manager of the telephone exchange.
Mr. Hale speaks Spanish, which is
the language of the country, quite
fluently anh has travelled all over
Atexico. He was for three years in
the employ of the Maxima Govere-
meat, as second officer of the Feder-
al Telegraph, under President Pu-
ttee Diaz and was one or the. very
few foreigners retained by the laic
President Madero when he succeeded
Dias, after his successful re.volution
of 1910.
Mr. Hale was in Vera Cruz when
the Americans took possession of that
city on April 21st last ancl left oa
November 12th, a few days before the
American forms were withdrawn. At
that Veto acting President Carthame
was moving towards Vera Cruz with
his troops to awail giving battle to
General Villa, who witha. larger
army was advancing on the capital,
Which was also threatened by Zapata
on the sonth. Now that the Amer-
icans have apparently deelded nab •to
interfere any further in Mexico Mr,
Hale believes that peace will be
reached in that country only after. one
of the contending leaders has succeed-
ed in defeating the forces of all op-
ponents.
Catranza was the leader of the
revolution against President Mertes
but he appears to have antagonized
General Villa, one of his subordinat-
es, and 11; is doubtful, in Mt, Hate's
oPillien, if Cassava can maintain his
position without Villa's support.
• According to Mr. Hale life in Mex-
ico'whatever it may lack, cannot
be lacking bit intereet. Ile has him-
self on more than one occaston been
a resident of a town when it was at-
tacked by a revoldianaty force. The
fighting is done for the .ntast part in
the streets, the attacking party en-
deavoring to gain possessio,t of the
city square and the civic buildings,
in which case they, are considered the
victors.. If the defenders can repulse
the attack and keep' possession of the
city they are, fot the time bola& the
victors.
Most of the buildiegs are of heavy
stone with shuttered windows ad
when a fight is on the inhabitants go
into their Mimes, barricade themselves
in as well as possible, pus up nor
shutters and stay inside until the
fighting ceases. The defenders of the
city fire from behind closed windows
or from the Nit roofs of the bnild-
ings. Whether the City ns lakOa or
the iuvaders have been driven off as
seeh as the fight is over business is
resumed and goes on as Meal.
However, this state of °oldie/AM
warfare is having its detrimental ef-
fect upon the country as Mr, Halo
says a very great number of Amer-
icans have left during the past four
• years. Many hare disposed of their
interests there and Many more, es-
peeially those 'engaged in mining in
the interior, have abandoned their
claims finding it impossible -to cort-
• tinue operations owing to the en -
settled state of the country.
Silver mining,oil, agriculture and
the cultivation of istopital fruits are
the chief industries and owing to the
fact that the railroads lave in many
cases ceased opetations it is difficult
to catty on any al these lines of in-
dustry. Mr. Hale thinks that since
the Ametioans have withdrawn mat-
ters will not be improved.
• Asked les opinion as to Whether
Mexico viould ever become a free
democracy such as the United Si:sites
Mr. Hale said that until the people
became educated such a thing was
one of the questions and while they
have a system of education the off
-
recurring revolutions ma,ke it very
difficult to carry on anything of the
kind to any 'degree of perfection., A.
very terse ,majority of the people are
entirely illiterate and Mr. Hele says
it would take two or threegenera-
tions to educate them' up to the -
point where they could intelligently
carry on in responsible, govethment,
Unless affairs take a decided turn
for the worse it is Mr, HMOS intea-
'Oat „ito return to Mexico' in, 'the
course of a few months, '
PERRY'S PEERLESS SATURDAY.

sent "The Belle of the Post," a mil-

:HEAR THIS ADDRESS.
Mrs. *Needham, who is heals sant

an address in the town hall this af-
ternoon at four o'cloels and will al-
so show samples of necessary suppli-
es. Everyona is invited to hear this
address. The Red Cross work is not
by any means confined 'to women, its
mission being to minister to the men
on the firing line, and it will in-
terest men no less than women to

'TWAS A BIT LONELY.
Mr. Chas, F. Lthby, menager•of the
Knitting Company, stile has been a
resident of Clinton for the past, year,
is an American citizen and as Thurs-
day last was Thanksgiving Day in
the flatted States, following a long-
established custom, Mr. and Alas, Lib-
by celebrated it as such. Thanksgiv-
ing Day in the United States is a
fixed holiday and since the. days 01
the Puritans has been one of the
most honoured of the national holi-
days, being considered as a day fot
family re -unions almost as 'mach as
Christmas is with us, Thiin was the
first Thanksgiving Mr. andl Mrs. Lib-
by spent apart from their family
and they consequently felt rattier
lonely though endeavoring to kees
up the custom and • he as cheerful as
possible, C/Iiiton people are glad to
have this 'sorthy couple amongst
them ani, hope that in time they
masi come to sesard Canada also as
`'home."

Rev. S. J. Allin
Tvcenty-Six Years' Service,
Mr. James Campbell, Clerk
and Treasurer of Hullett.
• It has been reported that Mr. Jatuets
Campbell, clerk ,and treaSuser of Hui -
lett :township for tWenty-six years,
was about' to resigm tho position.
Owing to the fact, however, that the
township thinks a. municipal electios
the beginning of the year . as unnees
essary, Mr. Campbell may decide to
continue in office another year, in
this way the affairs of the township
Weald go on without isterruption all
•through 1915.
Air, Campbell, has been a recident
of Hullent since 1868. Having hese
born in the County Caithness, Scot-
land, be came out to this country In
1866 and first settled ins Peel County
whose he remained 'IWO years before
coming to flullett. Being a nma of
keen intelligence and of good business
ability he has always taken alt in-
terest in the conduct of municipal af-
fairs and his tenure of °lice has
been marked by many improvements
cold changes in the townehip. Over
all he Inc kep0 a watchful eye and
and lie knows the business of the
township as no ono else pretends to
know it. Ila.ving a mind capable or.
readily grasping and elf/a/Lively Man-
aging large problems, Inc is neverthe-
less able to take in the smallest do-
tal] and that the township bushiess.
has run so smoothly during the past
quarter of a century is due itt 110
small measure to this one man's
easeful management. Nothing Is left
to chance, nothing is done in in hap-
hazard way, ovesything is perrornesi
acceding to in well -thought-out plata
and the township records are a mar-
vel of system and neatness. Thu
township never had a better eleek anti
it is doubtful if in the municipality,
could be found to day a man who
coald so efficiently fill the place.
In tho case of such a public ser-
vice as that which Mr. Campbell hats
been rendering the leonotary remit-
eration does not and • menet in any
real sense repay the doer. 'Cho smalf
salary paid by a WWII, township co:
village to a man who performs an
important task so faithfully fox over:
a score of years cannot he consider-
ed sifficienh remuneration for the.
hard work, the concentrated energies.
of the beat years of in man's lifts.
And, to the credit cif those benefitt-
ed be it said, it is not. Mr. C'esup-
bell has today the hearty esteem of
all the best people of his townshila
and many outside its confines, but
in such a ease as hi many another,
"Vistue is its own reward." It in
encouraging to come across and to,
take time, to consider such things,
also, as it helps to keep alive and
burning brightly one's faith in MI.
Man liatese and the 'ultimate trium-
ph of right and good. •
Mr. Campbell itas been for very
many years an official member of the
Pre.sbyterian church Est Londethera
and is always considered the right-
hand man of the mintstet bit charge.
He is also, as those who have the
pleasure of his acquaintance hav•e,
no need to be told, a goial anti
courteous geet.leman, one whom it is.
a pleasure to meet and a privilege.
to know, He tepresents in himself
many of 'the best traits of the.
Scottish charactet.
