THE C. I. SEWING -EXHIBIT Those who .think . and sometimes
rather emphatically affirm that the
young girls of the present day aro
lacking in the cultivation of the dom-
estic arts and care only for having a
good time, would havehad their eyes
opened had they been fortunate
enough to have a glimpse at the fine
quality of sewing, displayed at the
Collegiate on Tuesday -afternoon by.
Mrs. f`ibbert's class for this term,
There' was fine sewing, that is;
pretty, dainty lingerie, 'with lase and
ribbon trimmings, was also
but there ti s
o
plainer sewing, such as hemmed tow-
els, .patches, etc., just the sort of sew-
ing which • comes' to the lot of the
housewife in ordinary eireumstaces;
and this work was dune' with'AA?peat-
nese and skill which would make a
very good showing beside even that
of "our grandmothers", who were ob-
liged to be -adept with 'the needle
nearly all their sewing being done by
hand. It was a - fine display and
Clinton and vicinity have reason to
be proud of the proficiency of their.
young girls in needle craft. It look-
ed to us like areal task to pick the
winners and so, no doubt, the judges
found it, as 'several received honer-
ablo mention. Mrs. Hibbert has had
this class in sewing for.tw,o years and,
she deserves credit for .the good pro-
gress they have made.
This year. too. there was. a display
of art, which is Miss Archer's depart-
ment in which ,boys-$ompeted, anda

SON OF FORMER HUIRON1'ANS
The daily papers last month told
the story of the tragic death of Carl-
ton Sherritt, who was, thrown from
his airplane et The Pas, Man., when
he lost control and the machine turn-,
ed over. A lad who was with him
was so badly injuredethat he::died al-
so within a few hours. A recent is-
sue of the Hillsboro (North Dakota)
Banner„ gives a :romantic history -of
this young man, who was "born in
North Dakota, his parents, Aro were
natives of the southern part of Stan-
ley, township, his father beinga mem-
ber of the well known Sherritt fam-
ily, having gone out there to farm in
the Red River Valley. In his"•young
manhood he went to Manitobaand en
gaged•in railroad building, hunting
and mining. His discovery of a cop-
per mine brought him great wealth and
he was, although but thirty-four
years of age, at the time of his death
la millionaire. He served with: the
American forces in the world Sear and.
laterreturned to his interests. in the
Canadian west. He had reeently pur-
chased an airplane, believing that
he could thus better reach the,distant
and hard -to -reach proapocting'points.
He was preparing for a flight and
-Went up to warm his engine and see
that everything was in readiness,
when the 'accident happened. Mr.
Sherritt was described as being 'a.
very reserved man, "Silent Sherritt"
his friends ' called• him, but he was
very highly esteemed. - •
Mr. Sherritt was, a cousin -of Mrs.
John T`turner 'of Clinton.,` The dir-
ector of civil aviation for Canada or-
tiered an inquiry into the fatality, as
it was not known whether .Mr. Sher.
vitt had a Canadian license, which i'
necessary in Canada, even the mach-
ine is one's " own and not used for
commercial purposes.
