G. Mcllveen Iast week .sold out his bakery business to Mr. I and Mrs. J. Bowes, Blyth, and moved on Saturday to Peterboro, where he I will take charge of the farm of Mrs. Mcllveen's mother. Mrs. Mc- Ilveen had planned to go down and spend the summer on the farm but when the chance came of selling out the business here it was decided to move the family at once. I Mr. and Mrs. Mcllveen and their young family will be missed by their friends but all will wish them good fortune in their new hone. They have a good school as near as they were to it in Clinton and are near enough to Peterboro to allow Jack to attend Collegiate, going and com- ing each day. I Mr. and Mrs. Bowes took posses- ' cion on Monday and citizens will bid then: welcome to town and wish them success and a happy sojourn in Clinton. RECALLS EARLY SCENES Mr. George S. Robertson of Luck- now was in town on Monday and I called en a few old friends, among then: The News -Record, to which he has been a subscriber for these many years. We are always glad to see Mr. Robertson, too, for the has a cheer- ful outlook on life and a very re - tentative memory and can recall many incidents of interest in the early days in Clinton and locality. Mr. Robertson was brought up in the Turner's neighborhood, where ibis father had a farm. But his fath- er was killed at the raising of a barn when he was but seven years of age and the mother was unable to keep her young family about her, so this boy was obliged to fend for himself at a very early age. But he worked hard, took his knocks as they came, and made good. And his hard experiences failed to break bis spir- it or sour his nature. He can look back upon many of these exper- iences with pleasure and related the other day how he had enjoyed a meeting with Mr. Landesborough rof Tuckersnith, with whom he had at- tended Broadfoot's school about sev- enty years ago, when they talked over the many boyish experiences in the told neighborhood. Some of the boys were fond of a fight, so the trustees made a ruling that the boy indulging in such encounters either coming to or going from school should be dealt with by the teacher, and in these old days teachers were firer believers in corporal punishment. The result was that the pugilists had to hold themselves in cheek until they had gone home and had their even ing meal, then by common consent they would meet at a given point and fight in peace, without the in- terference of meddlesome teachers or trustees. Iamiiton, Fall wheat cutting will commence hereabouts any day now, and hay is almost all in. The exceptionally dry weather has injured crops to a con- siderable extent. Miss Lillian Brown, who has been. visiting Mr., and Mas: J. A. Ferguson for some weeks, has returned to her home in Kitchener. • She was accom- panied by Miss Margaret Ferguson: who will visit there and at : St. George. Mr. and Mrs. George Patterson have been visiting Dr. and Mrs.. Weir. Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Mcllveen and their six sons ere the guests ef the lady's parents, Mr. aiid Mrs. A, Asquith. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Thompson left Tuesday afternoon to visit the bed- side of their son, Joseph, who was critically injured in an : automobile accident, on Monday near Tillsonburg. Mr. Robertson also related an in- teresting happening here many years ago, when the town was greatly ex- ercised by the finding of a blond - stained shirt on the railway track and the disappearance of a young man who had been clerking in Niehol Robson's store here, by name Jesse Wilds. A search party was got out and for days the search was kept up for the murdered body of the young man. . But finally it was decided that np tr7urder had been done. The young Aensi .le'iudently having been read - 'ing lie novels, had decided to make a, sensation and he killed a chicken, :ked the blood to smear his shirt, e1abiied holes in it with a sharp knife; " lid then disappeard. He never came back until years' after- wards, when it was said that he came in on the late.train, waited until the ,in was all abed, then walked up and down the familiar streets view- ing the old scenes, then went out a- gain on the early morning train. Mr. Robertson is always an inter- ested visitor at the special anniver- sary services at Turner's church, coming down to the sixtieth anniver- sary and again to the seventieth, held a year or to ago, ; He can re- member distinctly when it was built. THE DOME PAPER M. 0. 11. ADVISES BOILINIG . Dr. Shaw, . M,O H , advises citizens to boil all milk during July and Au- gust, A few cases of undulent fev- er have shown themselves hereabouts and in the Hen sell neighborhood and as it is supposed to be caused by a germ in milk or milk products, the boiling of milk . will do away with that source of danger. One can't of•course, boil butter and cheese. HAS SOLD BRANCH e Mi, N. W. Trewartha, who has been conducting a poultry and egg business in Clinton with a branch at Exeter, has sold the Exeter business to Reeve Francis of that town, who gets possession on Saturday. • Mr. •' Trewartha has had a very busy time looking after his two busi- nesses, also his farm at Holmesville, and attending to all the other mat- ters calling for his attention, includ- ing the filling of the office of mayor of the town, as he has Dor the past couple of terms, and he intends to take it a bit easier. It is his inten- tion to go more extensively into stock raising, as he did before taking on the Exeter business, and will divide his time between the Clinton business and his farm. DOUGLAS DE LA.
