Reminiscences of Clinton, By an Old Clintonian Clinton has undergone a good many changes since first landed hi it near- ly, fifty years ago. _ The general aspect of its snain streets has under- gone a complete transformation, and looking for oidlandmarks one fails to find any. Of course many improve- tnents have been made, the ,character of the buildings and main roads being strikingly better. I well remember the thing that strtick me with great surprise the first day I set footin the town. I was ottly is lack and .the sight of "Daddy Thompson'." with his yoke of oxen, hauling foods along the street, Was a novel and amusing thing to me. I had never seen oxen before. Mr. Thompson, in those days, hauled the freight from the railway to the dif ferent stores. That same yoke be - Seventy -Three Years Young Canadians, irrespective of th:eii' rparty differences united in extend ing congratulations to Sir Wilfred Laurier, who on Friday last. reached 73rd birthday or as has been very truly said, is 73 years young. Ad varicing years do not claim:ebb his physical or mental vigor or his devotion to Canada and the Empire. So long as his strength remains he will carry the burden' of leader- ship eadership which his party has impose'.d upon him, both in victory and de- feat. "Whither it be 00 years or,' ten or five," he said to his followeeai in the Commons last May, what- ever may be the length of m3: time is in the hands of God but so long as;God spares ine, I shall continue to give my best, however poor that rnay be, to the service of those principles which we all hold so dear." 'Sir Wilfred 11as"led the Liberal party now for 37 years and itis to be hoped the time physical infirmity or advancing years may make a chance + necessary is far distant.
