A LONG BUSINESS CONNECTION.
The following extract from a letter
recently received by Mr. Jas. Fair
from Messrs, Bruce C Weelson, Glas-
gow, Scotland, speaks for itself
"There are firms that we have
done a much larger business with
than yours, butt we have correspond-
ed with none whose conneotcion was
held In such high esteem as yours.
For thirty-nine years we have re-
ceived flour from, Clinton, and due -

'Such a result is rare in the flour

we have to report, that during the

than they would flour shipped by

THE CHANCES ARE GOOD.
At a erecting held on Tuesday even-
ing of those interested in seeing a
good, big skating rink built in Cline
ton, and to consider the proposition
of an outsider to build a good rink
for a bonus of $600 and freedom from
taxation, it was decided to ' pass ar-
ound a subscription list amongst our
citizens and see with what encour-
agement would be met. If suc-
cessful enough to warrant such a
move an effort will be made to form
a local company to undertake tele
d
project in prefereno; to giving it to
an outsider. The matter was left in
thehands, e a
of a representative ,sentatr c cour-
P
m,ittee consisting of T. Jackson Jr,,
A. J. Morrish, Harry Barthiff, harry
Twitchell and Dr. Shaw. It is safe
saying that the project will receive
every encouragement and that by the
opening of next season Clintou wet
have an up-to-date rink.
OBSERVE THE GOLDEN RULE.,
Chief' Wheatley received an'anony-
mous letter the other slay from an
indignant •citizen who has been wor-
ried by persons, not always children,
either, trespassing upon private }ro-
perty, plucking flowers withou\tleave,
etc., and when remonsterated with,
"giving lip.'"The writer wanted to
know if there was any law Whi•,h

annoyances. Presumably there is.
The British law protects every hinge
lions a man's life down to 'lie ver-
iest tittle of property, Bub :a a
town like Clinton it showed not be
necessary, to have to resort to law
foe any such cause, The r.nitireron
law of courtesy, and respect for the
right's of others, which is suppeeed
to be inherent in every true 3ritish
breast, should suffice in a ease of
this kind. When -anyone takes the
trouble to plant a garden„ thee nu -
ding to the beauty of the lawn, it
cer;!ainly should be allowed to grow
unmolested by alien hands, nil if
there is. anyone in Clinton so lack-
ing in right principles as to thus
meddle wilts the property of others
it is hoped that he will mend his
Ways, forthwith. As a cure for this
bias of meld The News -Record would
recommend the "gettlpg back eo the
soil," that is get to work and cul-
tivate a garden of his• own.
