Dear Friends: On this, the eve of Your departure from our midst, we have gathered hero to -night to spend a few hours together, Since coming to our neighborhood some few years ago you have proved yourselves neighbors and friends in the truest sense of the word, We al- ways knew that to ask a favor, was to have it granted, and these things are true virtues, worthy of regard in any neighborhood. Consequently, you havecreated q Y, 3 C cosec a place in our community which will he hard to fill, and while it is with the deepest regret that we part with you, our neighbors, we are glad that we are not to lose you as friends, and will hope to meet you quite as fro - (Meetly in the future as in the past.

Mr. Harold Ponhalo purchased a fine purebred Yorkshire hog from Mr. Wm. Livingstone of near Sea - forth. The severe winter has been some - whet hard' on, Clinton's new streets. Mary street seems -to be standing up the best, for while it shows some fine cracks, the surface coating is not so far becoming displaced, as is the case on Orange and Shipley in places. Un. less something can be done very soon there are going to be some ]toles hi both Orange, at the corner of Mary, and Shipley between Huron and Rat tenbury. Trucks have been kept off these two streets but ears still run and dozens or hundreds of cars, as the case may be,' do considerable damage. Ae soon as the frost is out and the heav- ing ceases why could not some of that patching material which is used on the front street macadam be used to fill and bind the filling of these holes? With the traffic of ears over these damaged places the rents are being made worse every day and in a week or so may be rather difficult to re- pair. A stitch in tense is what's needed.
