"TIHE CLINTON COURIER"
A few weeks ago we noted the
fact thata Subscriber, Mr. Harty
Baker of Bayfield, had said that his
father had been ti'subscriber to The
Courier, published in Clinton many
years ago. Another subscriber, 1VIr.
John :A. Rath of Clinton, • later
brought us in a copy of The Courier,
dated Friday, June' 6th, 1862,
This paper Was evidently
preserv-
ed 'eccourit of a letieL.frori
the
late Edmund Mountcastle, who seem-
ed to be on a trip and• was having
a rather rough time sailing in the
Gulf of Mexico, with sea -sickness;
etc. ;
The ;paper, a four -page, seven col-
umn- one, has little local news but
carried a number of advertisements,
amongst them being an extensive one
for Law and Laycock, stationers,
who are also publishers of the pa-
per. The naine of H. Hale appears
advertising farms, etc., John Mc-
Garva, D. McCully and Co., Raeey
and Bro., 0. 1'L Muirhead and And-
rew Chisholm 'seemed to be the dry -
goods merchants of the time, the
Raceys also carrying groceries and
Canadian. whiskey. Joseph Thomson
advertised himself as a saddler and
also a, dealer in drugs, While Paulin
and Pryer "ivarranted satisfaction
• and a, complete fit" in men's cloth-
ing. Tenders are asked for the
"building of 'a brick church in the
village of Clinton," signed by F.
Wilson. Henry Minn was a cabinet
maker, T. B. Montgomery, dentist,
F. Paille was a watchmaker slid
Thomas Fair .published a, list of
twenty-three Ietters which remained
at t'he post office uncalled for. 'There
are also a number of business cards,
anncingst them that of Dr. Reeve, and
some from other places, London,
Hamilton, ,Goderieh, Ainlavville, now
Brussels, Ilctrpul'hey ' and Francis -
town, and one from Quebec, this ad-
vertises an "agency for the transac-
tion o£ business with the Government
departments." John McCallum ad-
vertises a '"Refreshment House,"
with temperance drinks, etc., while a
number of 'hotels ore advertised.'
•We wrote NIr, R.Ilolmes, Torento
asking for information, regarding
the a st'ly history of this 'palter and
Ile very kindly sends the following
interesting account. In a letter ao-
cotipa1 ging he says:
' "Some of the incidents referred to
are as clear in memory as if they
r. ,
occurred yesteldal, even though ov-..
er 60.yeays have passed away, and
I can easily visualize myself in the
old office helping to turn out four
or five hundred papers every week
on a Washington hand press. If you
have ever seen such a press you will
know what it was like. I was "prin-
ter's devil" and carrier boy, and it
took me every Thursday morning to
ermplete the work: The largest grat-
tiitity I. received at Christmas time
was 50e, and this was given to me
by Rev. Carmichael, afterwards Bish-
op Carmichael of Montreal..
There were no "ready prints" in
those days and it took quite a staff
to get out each issue.
There is not much information in
this dating to the early days of the
Courier, but 1 thought you might be
interested in the rest,"
The Courier
How long the Clinton Courier was
in existence prior to 1862 I do not
know, but I believe it eeased to exist
in 1865. Laycock & Law were it's
publishers. The printing office was
located where McTaggart's Bank
now 'stands. Layeeck was a book -
Renee, and had a stationery store in
the front end of the building, the
.printing office being, at the back,
where it remained for a number of
years; and any one wanting to go to
the printing office went through the
store. 'Law looked after the paper,
but subsequently left and, if I mis-
take not, joined the staff of the Til-
sonbutg Observer..
In the meantime the Clinton -True
Briton had been started by a Mr.
Kelly,, but after a checkered career
failed to eifist in the early start of
1865 or. about that time. '
M father, My f h r, rovho 'lead been foreman
of the Hamilton Tithes, bought the'
plant of the True Briton in May
1865 when the 'Courier - and True
Briton were united under the firm
name: of Holmes and taycock, the
name of both papers 'being changed

were hostesses . ori Monday evening
when Goderich • Rebekahs to the
number of about fifty paid thein a
social visit.•
The 3.O,O,F, rooms were the
rendezvous and the -ladies had decor-
ated. them very prettily in honour of
St. Patrick. After enjoying progres-
sive euchre for -a time refreshments
were served, refreshment tables be-
ing laid in the Rebekah rooms, which
were also . beautifully decorated.
After supper dancing was indulged
in for some hours: Of course the
Odd Fellows helped the Rebekahs to
enjoy themselves on this occasion.
YOUNG ivrEN ENTERTAIN •
Twenty young nett, comprising the
young men's class of Wesley -Willis
Sunday school with •their assoeiate
teachers, Mr. G. II. Jefferson and
Rzr, 11f. T. Corless, entertained the,
four classes of young •ladies,. with
their teachers, in the church hall
Thursday evening, March 12th. Cer-
tainly a valiant undertaking.
Supper was served at 6.45 p.m- to
the gathering of fifty-seven, The
tables were well laden, and prettily
decorated by beautiful flowers in
bloom, by the courtesy and kindness
of Miss Cuninghame.
The young men served and did all
the catering very deftly, looking well
after the wants of their guests. Af-
ter supper a lively time was spent in
games' until 10 pane when all dis-
persed, expressing . themselves as
having enjoyed a pleasant evening,
COMPANY GISTS (;ONTRACT
Mr. II. B. Manning, manager 'of
the Sherlock -Manning Co:, dud 111r:
FI: W. Could, mechanicaI' foreman,
were at East Templeton; .14lass,, last
week obtaining specifications 'and
intruetions regarding a,. nese nrncluct
to be turned out at the local factory,
The Company has procured the Can-
adian rights from The Ilcdstrom Un-
ion Co., East Templeton, Mass., and
Miniature ,Golf Courses, Inc., New
York City, to manufacture the "Por-
ta. Bowl" bowling sets. These are to
be used in connection with miniature
golf courses, which have become so
popular, or as separate recreational
unites. The IIcdstrom Company, it
seems, has the world rights and the
Sherlock -Manning people have con-
tracted with them to supply the Can-
adian trade.
•
.Owing to the :falling off in tate
demand for pianos, both in the local
and foreign trade, a result, no doubt
in no small measure of the present
world depression, the Clinton factory
has not been running fully manned
for some time and the Company has
been endeavoring to find some other
manufacture which would keep the
plant busy. That they have•naw se-
cured something which will be in de -
nand and,will ensure the plant.full
time work is matter for congratula-
tion oh the part of the Company and
the .• town generally, as the "Factory"
is Clinton's largest wage -paying in-
dustry and when it is not running
full time and fully manned the ef-
fect -is felt in a wide circle. Through
its tie-up with Miniature Golf Cour-
ses Inc, distributors of the Tom
Thumb courses, Porta 'Bowls has a
tialhne t -vide sales hook-up already
established and the•localfactory hav-
ing the exclusive ` Canadian rights,,
is assured of a busy time, Last year.
Miniature Golf - Courses sold 7.500

ever, as' a separate unit both for

of operation for .the concerns in

facturing then,
existence it reverted, to the posses
sten of 141;x. Holmes, who changed
the name back to New Era, -and so
it has remained. Mr. Grigg was a
first-class practical printer,• and
became foreman of the Guelph
Her-
ald,where he later died.
S 1871 the New tune in a Era
again sehanged hands, being sold to
a M. Matheson, from .efilton. He
had been a High school teacher, and
not being a- practical printer found
move expensive to run than he had
e
expected and it reverted back to the
possession of Mi. Holmes, and from.
then forward remained • with the
Holmes family until . sold to Mr. W.
H. Kerr. '
I do not know what became of the
book store but it was evidently dis-
posed of.

YOUNG GIRL HURT
Miss Marjorie McEwan, daughter
,of Mr. and Mrs. Alex. McEwen, of
the 2nd Cotieessinei of Stanley town-
ship, who is a Collegiate_ student,
happened with a peculiar accident
when returning home from school
yesterday evening. She' and her•
cousin, Stewart McEwen, were each
riding a horse, that being the best
mode of conveyance in :the present
state of the roads, and Stewart's
horse was passing Miss Marjorie's
and in doing so kicked up his heels in
play, striking her and breaking het
leg and lacerating it rather severely.
Dr. Shaw says he hes seen such
an accident happen in the a,1'my when
the riders were close together and
horses- became frisky„ but it is • .a
strange thing to happen'' or a quiet
country road. •
Miss Mariorie is the plucky girl
who saved her father when he was
being gored by an infuriated bull in
his own barn a few months ago,
driving the animal off with a barn
fork. It is honed she will have a
speedy recovery from her wounds.
TIIE LAST HOCKI'IY GAME
Who 'says • Friday ISth is an un-
lucky 'day 1, , Well, maybe the Clin-
ton intermediates do, since they were
defeated by the Winthrop team on
their own ice, on Friday last by the
score of 4•-2.
The first period was slow as /Reli-
ably both teams were out of practice,
but when ,it ended Clinton had' scored
one goal, In ;the seeond, period the
Winthrop boys thought it time to
show their mettle, so .they tied up
aha score. The third period started
by Winthrop playing some fast hoc-
key, scoring three goals in the first-
minutes, Clinton coming back with
one more goal. Both teams finished
playing ho.d but failed to score a-
gain, ,
The Clinton boys, perhaps made
the mistake of underestimating their
opponents as two of their best men
were absent and the team was made
up of intermediate and junior play
ers:
