ish to Clintonians:` 'Our old'. citizen,
Mr. David Beacom, who has been with
his sopa' in Hnllett for the past 'few'
months, is in. his 100th.year and has
been an Orangeman since he was nine-

Moon, '90. Regal: Road. a former presi-
dent of the. St. Clair Horticulture
Society. He has, says The Times,
one hundred and twenty-five different
shades of iris and three hundred rose
hi dr
bushesis garden, andall hi
inh g e, -this has
been done in about three years, as
the, garden plot then was covered with
twitch grass.:"Mr. Moon," says The
Times, "believes in putting his ideals
int practice and is. setting a worth-
tivhile example to his fellow -members
of the Society."
Mr. Moon has always taken a deep
interest in horticulture and in com
munity betterment. He's a good citi-
zen of that thriving district.

1926 ;OHAUTAUQUA.
Chautauqua has again come and
gone. Commencing last Thursday af-
ternoon the• programs emfii'nued af-
ternoon and evening Thursday, Fri-
day, ;Saturday and Monday.
There is a ,;pretty . general feeling
that the'•programs the past few years
have been falling off. There have
been excellent features
e c
ahea•
Y i but
they have e .not been uniformly 'good.
This year the music was fairly good
each day but the lectures were consid-
ered very mediocre, Had the stand-
ard of . excellency of the first couple
of years been maintained Clinton
would probably have continued to
have the Chautauqua come, as"only
in some such way can people of this
community hope to- have the best of
music,-Iecture' and' 'drama, and the'
people have appreciated verymuch
the programs 'given "in the 'past. This
year the interest was not so great
and it was felt by the committee that
it would be well to take a holiday, so
they did not sign up for next year.
