supply.
McLaughlin -Buick Hydraulic Shock Absorb-

THEIR AGES TOTAL 186
THOMAS SAGE
In Wroxeter there live today one of
the oldest men of Ontario, whose age
is 96 years, and a chum of his 90
years of age. Both these men each
day are seen together around the vil-
lage as if schoolboys in the days gone
by.
The older of the two men is Thom-
as Sage, who was born in 1832 in Pet-
erborough township. In the year
1858 he was married to Mies Margar-
et Moore on the 26th day of January,
when he was 26 years old.
A family of nine children was rais-
ed, only three of which are now liv-
ing. His wife passed away some
years ago. He states that he is from
a family known for longevity, as his
mother lived to the age of 99 years,
8 months and 8 days.
He has had a doctor but once, when

oxen. He was later in the stonemason
work. In politics he is a staunch

I in Wingham last week and returned
with the trophy prize, a pair of all-
himself to have any idea of its col -
ossal proportioni. Suffice it to say
it was well executed; every one in
the pageant seemed to know his place
and did what was require., from old
I Father Time down to the two tiny
tots who held up Miss Goderich's
train while she was giving her ad-
dress of welcome to the vast crowds
1who had come to see the sights.
On Thursday forenoon a scenic
moter drive was arranged for those
'visitors who cared to take it in. Quite
a number of citizens loaned their cars
, for the event. We were fortunate to
I have Mr. .Dean as our pilot, whd
' knew every nook and corner about
Goderich and vicinity. We went first
around the high cliff above the har-
bor where we had a good view of the
bneakwater and numerous pleasure
boats out on the lake; then past the
light -house and the big Sunset hotel.
Going down the Bayfield road as fa,r
as the Bluewater golf links. We turn-
ed to the left at Oki's corner on our.
!way to Belmiller, an ancient looking
hamlet with its woolen factory and
grist mill. Anyone who loves pictur-
esque scenery can get it there, but
it is no place for "speeders" unless
they want a dive in the millponds
ior get upset in the ditch.
I We forgot to mention that the
drivers of the cars would stop at any
place along the route you wanted to
see.
We were now on the road to Car-
low, so I asked for a few minutes to
see my friends, Mr. and Mrs. An-
drew Johnston, old timers of Col-
borne township. We found them hale
and hearty, although Mr. Johnston is
in his 87th year. Leaving Carlow, we
headed back- to Goderich, passing
close by the Dunlop cemetery, a
place I would have liked to visit., but
you have to cross private property
to get to it, Mr. Cameron, deputy
reeve of Ashfield, who was in our
group, informed us that the county
council is negotiating for a roadway
so thatit will be open to the public.
We think it very nefortunate that this
vasn't seen to before the jubilee came
off, as many of the visitors to the
vent would have liked to see it at
lose range, as Dr. Dunlop, the
ounder of the town, was laid to rest
wool blankets.

Paul Adams, son of William Ad-
ams, Sr., suffered a painful accident
when the water glass on a steam
boqr he was firing while threshing,
blew out in his face. He was rushed
to Listowel hospital. One eye was
badly injured by broken glass, which
the doctors removed on Sunday. They
are hopeful of : retaining the sight of
the other. The young man seffered,
intense agony while being removed
to the hospital.
Some children playing at camping
in Smale's grove Monday started a
fire in the stove in a hut. The stove
got overheated and the hut took fire.
With the dry 'weather and a strong
breeze the fire 'spread in the grass
and trees. The children tried to pttt
it mit but it soon got out of control,
They ran up to Howick 'street and
gave the alarm, when men and m-
aim rushed to the grove and after' a
stiff fight put' it out. Had it got a
1
ittle better' start it would have been
serious this dry weather,
