FEWER COURT CASES ' In our Twenty-five Yeats Ago col- umn on another page of this issue will be found a reference to the ap- pointment of Col., then Capt., H. T. Rance as division court clerk, togeth. er with the interesting information that the first clerk of this court war Mr. H. T. Rance, father of the new appointee. In the first nine menthe after the court was organized, 810 suits were tried, but at that time it was the tenth court of the United Counties of Huron and Bruce, and for many years, even during the in- cumbency of the late W. W. Ferran, Col. Ranee's predecessor, court was also held in Wingham. In the early days there were a good many more cases tried in divis. ion court, from 900 to 1300 or over during the year. The number barely reaches the hundred now, "What snakes the difference," was the ques- tion we asked Col. Rance the other day. "Well," be replied, "there was a lot of credit given in earlier days, accounts running on through the year, and somebody was always dis- puting an account, then there was a lot of trucking and trading, horse trading brought on a lot of cases. And there were line fence disputes disputes over drains and all sorts of things ended in the division court. And," concluded Col. Rance, "it may he that people are not se quarrel- some as they used to be." When Col.'Ranee was appointed to office the late David Dickenson wap bailiff, on his death, or his retire- ment owing to ill health, about twen- ty-three years ago after serving ov- er forty years, Robert Welsh was appointed and still holds the office.

Ile said he was beginning to feel much at home, as people had been very kind, and was pleased to see many .faces he knew in the congregation.

He'stressed the point that God may be present in the heart and life without the ind%- vidual being fully conscious of that presence. He is working in us and with us in ways of which we are not aware. The choir sang appropriate selections. The confirmation class was composed of Edith Stanbury, Ellen Fremli11, Agnes Johnson, Jack Hawkins, Dick Fremlin, Harold Fremlin, Robert Draper and Sonny Harris. .

THE FLOWER SHOW 'Citizens of Clinton should keep in mind the flower show, sponsored by the Horticultural Society, which will be held on August 18th and 19th. Clinton .put 011 such 'a good show last year that it was most encouraging and it is hoped we shall have a good one this, although the dry wea- ther has been hard upon' the gardens. If everyone keeps the show in mind, however, and does his or her best it will be a display worth seeing. One of the things worth remem- bering is that if everyone will show what they have, irrespective of whether it is prize stuff, the dis- play will be a good one. Cultivate what you have and display it so as to fill up the exhibit. Last year's display was a surprise to everyone. Let's do as well this year, if at all possible.
