VOICES FROM THE PAST.
To a great many of talose who are
managing' the business of Canada
today the present order of things
comes as a matter of course but
tliere are many'' even in Clinton who
can very well remember when Cana-
da meant Ontario and Quebec, It is
only fifty years since the provinces
naw constituting the 'Dominion of
Canada were welded into one.
Clinton was then a flourishing
town, as a- glance over the following
advertisements clipped from a paper
published here in 1855, over sixty
pars ago, will prove. These adver-
tisements' are unique in their way
and prove that the keepers of Clin-
ton hotels at that time were enter-
prising, In fact it might be not a
bad idea for their successors to take
a leaf out of their book. Printers'
ink never loses its efficacy. Does' not
this give one an idea of comfort, ev-
en luxury ?
'City Hotel, _Clinton,
William Rattenbury begs to in-
form his friends and the public ho is
Impend to supply all' the luxuries
and comforts of Canadian lice, to
such travellers as shall honour hint
witli their company. Win, R. has
just completed a large house, suffi-
cient to satisfy the most fastidious
in the land. It is situated in the
centre of the. unequaled town of
Clinton. Clinton, Aug, 70, 1855.
The Rattenbbry House then as now,
was known to all who had .occasion
to come to Clinton.
Victoria House
by
William Campbell,
Talose who travel the road from
London to Goderi e cannot avoid no-
ticing the new hotel on Victoria
street, known as the Victoria Hotel,
This house is conducted by William
Campbell, Its stable is superior,
with a careful hostler in attendance.
Its bedrooms are airy, spacious, and
kept clean, and its table is furnished
with whatever the season and coun-
trp •08n produce, Those, who love re-
tirement, fair dealing and economy
are respectfully invited to call,
Clinton, Aug. 17,1855.
As the town's business centre was
then on Iluron street no doubt Vic-
toria street was a bit quiet, hence
the allusion to "retirement,"
Tho following has reference to the
Bridgewater Hotel, which stood just
at the beiid of the creek near where,

affairs recently, possibly 011 account
of the fact• of his Canadian' birth

SUCCESSFUL CONVENTION,
The County W. C. T. U. held a suc-
eessful • annual convention in Roder-
1c1 n
Wednesday, 1 0 w coulee
da
and Thursday lured
a last.
Y•Y
Among the Clinton people who went
up to attend it were ; Mr, and Mrs.
C. .3, Wallis, Mr, and Mrs. J, W.
Nediger, Mrs. J;. W, Moore, Mrs. A.
0. Pattison, Mrs. J. Cuninghame
and Miss Florence Cuniughame,: Mrs.
Beaton, Mrs, Beacom, Miss Stephen-
son, Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Cooper and
Misses Lilian Fairfull and Daisy
Nediger. The latter two took part
in the Gold Medal contest. Rev, E.
G. and Mrs. Powell of London mot-
ored up to be present at the gath-
ering. Mr, A. T. Cooper was in-
troduced to the convention as the
newly -appointed county field secre-
tary. Mrs. Cooper was re -appointed
secretary 0f tbe-county organization.
She was elected president but de-
clined to act in that capacity,
A NARROW ESCAPE.
Mr. M. 0. Ransford, sol of Mr.
and &Irs. John Ransford of Staple-
ton, had a narrow escape front a
horrible death en Thursday last
when he was attacked in his own
barn by a bull, and single-handed
fought off the enraged animal for
over a quarter of an hour. Mr.
Ransford was making some repairs
in the barn and while working in a
longi passageway lie was suddenly at-
tacked by, his Jersey pull which.. -fu
some wap had got loose, There was
no way of escape and the unequal
struggle began. Finally, being push-
ed to the end of the passage, Mr.
Ransford managed to drag himself
through a small ventilating window,
barely large enough to allow for
the passage of his body, and reach-
ed .the outside, Some inert who were
working nearby saw him emerge and
seeing that there- was something
wrong rushed to his assistance,
Thep assisted him to his car, crank-
ed it up for him, and with one
hand he managed to drive the ma-;
chine home. et was found that his
sboulder was severely injured,, some
bones being broken, and he was bad-
lp bruised, but it is hoped that a
few weeks' . nursing will restore hitt.
It is 'generally conceded that had it
not been for his strength and activ-
ity Mr, ,Ransford would never have
emerged alive from the terrible en-
counter,
LET'S HELP BRAVE FRANCE.
On another'page of this issue will
be found a lejtter from Lady Beek,
making an appeal for the French
Hospital work,
In answer to this appeal, the two
patriotic societies of Clinton have
combined their energies and will have
a French. Flag Day on Saturdays of
this week.
During the afternoon a louse -to -
house canvas will be made and ev-
ery man, woman and child will have
an opportunity or purchasing a flag
and thus doing something to assist
in thl's worthy cause,
Front three o'clock until live a ten
oent tea will be served on the lawn
of Wesley church, if it is fine, other-
wise it will take place in Wesley
hall, and from five o'clock to seven a
twenty cont supper will be served
Tor business Hien and others. 9'lic
proceeds of this tea will go to smell
the French Fund,
All day Friday and during Sakur_
say forenoon a subscription list will
be open in each of the local banks
for the accommodation of anyt who
Wish to contribute.
For nearly three years France,
with unparalelled courage tins with-
stood 1110 onslaught of an unscrupul-
ous toe. Her territory invaded and
partly, overrun, her industries crippl-
ed for want of workers anti her
farms left to the care of old mein,
boys and women, is it any wonder
that she is begimuing to fuel keenly
the strain ? She DON makes appeal
to her faithful Ally, Britain, on be-
haIf of her wounded men. Britpie is
carrying a heavy burden, a fact
none will deny, iea British soil is
as yet free from the foot of an
Minding force, And wo In Canada,
far, tram the settles of strife, enjoy-
ing a Freedom bought for es by the
suffering of others, surely we can
afford from out aur plebtyi something
for the dire ineett ai; biose more Mt -
fortunate nnes, Let Cllhtolee re-
sifonso to this appeal be bile t worthy

The Rock. Mr, Robinson road the
r. lesson, the 11th chapter ot-1lebrews,
e that wonderful story pf the triumphs

ten to the church mfr, Agnew took for
or his text part of the 82nd verse of
the 8th of John "Ye shall know.
e�
the truth and the truth shall make
✓ you free." The following is what
the preacher, who is himself a nneno-
n ber of the Orange Order, said in
t part :
I have selected ' this test because
n the Order stands for the defence of
v- Freedom, Truth and Justice and Ob-
edience to the laws of God and
s Country. The ideal we' Have before
e us is• the glory of C4od ; the welfare
of man ; the honour at lits sovereign,
, and the good of his country, The
. Protestant Church is the friend of
Truth and the protector, al Truth,
s Man has the capacity lee ';onprebend
••Truth ; he is unlimited in this re-
spect.
s ' Freedom of thought and freedom of
conscience is the life of all m812,
Give Quebec this and we will do
more for her than by any battle or
any flag. Give Ireland this arid.
then we can entrust her �witli Home
t
Our ritual is beautiful and the
name and person of Jesus Christ is
exalted more than in any, other
society. Consequently' the outside
world expects much from every
Orangeman,"
The preacher then spoke of the
duty ,
} of every member of the Orange
Order. exalting' Christ in their liven
and quoted the words of Jesus
when he said : "I, if I be lifted up,
will draw all Dien oto ere,"
The speaker then mentioned the
present war and the. great issues for
which the Allied countries' are fight-
ing. "'The principles upon which all
great nations are built tipon are 'at
stake," he said, efiruth, Liberty,
Freedom and Democracy," The Ger-
man siert says : "We must seek to
smash the total intellectuai an:l
mental resources of the enemy,"
thus destroying not o11p the body
but t11e,'seul and spirit of the na-
tions, ahii their motto which is :
"13e governnnentaI, honor the Icing,
worship, the State and believe that
no salvation ie possible except by
the annihilation of the smaller stat-
es," and he drew attention to Bel-
gium, and wliat she had suffered un-
der the heel of the oppressor,
"The great Republic to the' south,"
said the speaker, "was slow' in en-
tering the great world conflict,, but,
thank God, the time came a when
that Republic felt that ' she, could
not maintain her pride and ',dignity
as a nation and remain outside the
world crisis, We rejoice that there
camel a time when President Wilson
realized, that Democracy was at
stake. In his war message 11e' said
'The world must be madeysafe for
Democracy Peace•must be
planted, on the broad foundations of
political liberty. We are but' one of
the champions of the Rights of Man -
t'
"
"We owe it to our country," con-
tinued the preacher, "to make of
ourselves ,worthy and ' noble men. It
is not broad lands and crowded cit-
ies, large wealth and a world-eucir-
clhng commerce that makes a nation
great, The real greatness of a na-
tion is measured by its manhood.
Prof, Blackie of the University of
Edinburgh, in addressing a graduat-
ing class of young men on:e , sold
'Motley is not the only tiling need-
ful ; power is not the only thing
needful ; liberty is not the' only
thing heedful ; health, even, is not
the only tiling needful ; character
alone is that which can truly save
us and if we are not saved in this
sense, we shall surely, be dammed,' "
'.i'he preacher then, spoke of the. part
Orangemen ,were playing in the great
struggle in Europe, saying that there
were now at the front or ' among
those who had already paid the
price, between eighty thousand and
ninety thousand members of the Or-
der.
At the close of the • service the
Orangemen marched to thole hall
