Fear, one of the oldest men and oldest readents in Hullett Township, will celebrate his ninety-third birthdavtif he 48 spared until April next. Mr. Fear is a -native of Devonshire, England, and came to this country with his father in -1819. That was the year the cholera was bad in Canada and Mr, Fear, sr., contracted the dread disease while passing through 'Kingston. where it was epidemic and where terrible eights met the eyes of the newlY-arrivs ed travellers, and within ten dans frOm the 'time -he landed in Brainplon, he was burried. This left his son -a stran- ger In -a strange land. The subject of this sketch engaged with a :farmer in Chingchousey township for a year at a ri.vage of twenty-five pounds: This he considered a splendid return or his labor, being ea muele more than such work cainetanded in the. Old Country, and he went out to the farm and was set ta work ehoping.'.This was a new experience for him but he .was pluck); and strong and managed to keep up his end and do as much in a day as the best of thein. The following year he cae uii to Huron 'County and took up a fainit on the 8th of'-Hullett. Clin- ton in 1850, was* much of a town. in fact there were but a few housei then at "The Corners," Rattenbury's !log tavern being then the resting place for travellers. For some years he work- ed with the farmers during the sumn atter, clearing so many acres of and. on .his own tarm during the winter as :ettleinent duties. He also, built a colts- saf houses in Clinton, and resided in town 'for about four years while he worked as a framer. Ln 1864, he ,trade ed the farm on the eighth for .the ones he now occupies -on the Gravel Road and were he has resided ever since: When the land was cleared nutficienta ly to .grow grain it was marketed Clinton, having to be hauled around by the Base Line, the Gravel Road not being opened up as yet. When Mr. Pear tirst saw Clinton, it was sur- rounded by tforest, the Andrenes farm which •is now inside thennbrporaticm, having amyl:: clearing on it, but the other [farms around were almost solid bush. By dint of hard work and econ- omy Mr. 'Fear had, suz.lcseded in gather- ing :t agether enough money to pay /for his aarm. This money he had out at interest but when the payment came due he was unable to collect it and Mr. Fear was obliged to borrow one hundred paunds to meet the payment. This was loaned at so much per month, the amount being equivalent to 'ninety - jive per cent. Mr. Jonas Gibbings, fath- •er of Messrs. Thomas and John Gib- bings, baelcsd his note for the money. Mr. Fear received eight per cent. for his own mon:y. The: Fears were origin- ally !Anglican, but as there was no church of that denomination In the vicinity they used to attend the Metho- dist Lservices which were held in the homes of Messrs. Laithwaite and Holmes in the Ebenezer neighborhood, :Mr. Pear cind a good share of pioneer work. Indeed -he is somewhat of the opinion -that the young men of today hardly know what work is, so mucn of what ue...d to be' done by hand is now performed by machinery, but he has always enjoyed the best of health, the hardships of life not having weigh- ed, upon him. Ha resides on the old homestead with his san, Mr. WrraFear, and pays an occasional visit to Clinton. He enjoys a chat with old f,riends, holdsnhis opinions strongly and expres- s them with vigor and clearness. it will never be known just what this young country owes to euch sturdy and Industrious pioneers, the men who' cleared her forests and turned the sol- itary wilderness into smiling farms. All honor to them, may their days be. prolonged -and may their end be peace. -Clinton News Record. Reuss I (Too Late tor Last Week.) Masonic. -The District Deputy Ma- sanic Grand -Master for South Huron, in the person of Mr. Dunlop, of Gode- rich, visited our'Masonic Lodge on M.,on- day evening, and, on which occasion there was a large gathering of the brethren. He expressed himself as well -pleased with the opening and closing exercises, no degree work being on. •;At the close of the meeting all re- paired to the Mascot restaurant, where brother T. W. Palmer had prepared a anquet ,whtsh could not be well sure passed, and was voted by the brethren as one of the very best they. nad, had. - After all, had done Ample justiceto. the tempting viands, there followed a feast of song, toasts and speeches in Which snarly .gave a good account 6f themselves and we onlf regret that .the .speaking, "toasts," ete., were so many that we have not the space at our .dis- nasal to particularize. We might; be *rinitted, howeyer, to refer to the ad- dress, of the District Deputy Grand Master, !which was a very leasing and interesting one . and was listened to throughout with both profit. and plea- sure. Past Worshipful Master, • Rev. Rural Dean Doherty discharged the du- ties of chairinan In his usually pleas. Ing 'and, ,able ,manner. The Late Mr. Carlile. -We regret to have ito record the ,death of one of our oldest anti:most respected residents in the person of Mr. ames Carlile, who passed, 'peacefully away on Monday morning, January 25th, DA the ripe age of ninety years. The deceased was .a native of 'Ireland being born -in County Down, tin the year 188, and emigrated to this country in the year 1839. He first remained for a time in Quebec, afterwards Settling in the Township of Usborne, corning to Hensall, In the year -1887, where he carried on shoe - waking for about seven years. Since that dine he has lived a retired life together with his 'wife - and adopted daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. David Foss, who still survive hitn.The deceased was possessed of a _kindly and retiring disimition, with a keen 'regard, for all that ,is best and 'sacred Iri nife and was a IMOSt loving and _de- voted husband. He was a staunch member of the Presbyterian Church and as his pastor, the Rev. ,Mr.. Smith, stated at the funeral service held on 'Wednesday afternoon, he was one of nature's noblemen with a sacred, rev- erence for that which was right and best and lived that simple inspiring life that told in tie community and' that was not only a benediction to those in h1s home but also ,to ,all that had the pleasure of his acquaintance. &laic Live ,years. ago his' fine rugged constitution suffered from a severe Paralytic stoke from which he never recovered and which left him quite helpless and. frein which his life, hu- manly speaking, was only afterwards prolonged by ,the most loving and ten- der affection shown by his devoted, wife and members of home. The re- mains were interred in the Hensall Union Cemetery on Wednesday after- noon, January 21th. The bereaved wi- dow and members of the home have isythpathy. of S.,11 in their bereave- .111ent. . Congregation al nteetinga-On Wed,nese day evening last the 'Congregational Meeting of Carmel' Church was held on whici occaelon there was a very .good atttndance and anuch interest manefese- ed in .all the reports of the different organizations which marked a year of good progress in ail the different lines of church work, and in which year more amprovements had been made in the interior of the church than in any former year including the installing of the fine pipe organ which has given every satisfaction 9nd is one -of the finest tn be Lound outelide of large city churches...With all the expendi- tt res there was e. comparatively small deficit which the congregation with their well known liberality and go a- headitiveness will soon, no doubt, tura into a balance on the right side of the le,dger, 'Nearly all the officers of last year were re-elected. The pastor, the Rev. Mr. Smith, ,discharged the duties of chairman in his usually able manner and expressed his pleasure at the pro- gress and improvements made during the past year end stated that he en- tered upon this year's work much en- couraged and full of hope. The Salvation Army and the War "Industrial conditions In England were never better; unemployed is less common than ever; the down -and -cut man slosn't exist in England; there are practically no destitute men and wo- men in -the country; they are working ar fighting." The statement was made by Cafnmissionar Lamb, International Secretary of the Salvation Army, who arrived in Montreal from his head- quarters! In England, recently. Commissioner Lamb said, that from 10,000 .to 1k-600 Salvation Army work- ers -had enlisted from the British Isles and that probably 30,000 ' would be found, in all the armies. !According to him, the war .has inereased the o portnnities and activities of .the Sal- vation Army lin Rritain. In many molt- ilization centres it is maintained huts as recreation rooms for the soldiers and a Salvation .Army chaplain is with ,the Canadian troops at Salisbury Plain, with 'the New rZealand and Australian troops. The army also has a tent a- mong the soldiers in Egypt. .. "It is everywhere acknowledged in in Britain that the war'has stirred up the people spiritually,'-' Commissioner Lamb said. 'Mare men women of of all walks of life attending church in the 13.ritis1is, now than for a, long time. *And`, movement is a serious one. It is not a fad; nor is it a superstition. It is a direct re- sult of the realization of the war tand its horrors." Commissionerjamb explained that i, the Salvation my, besides shelter- ing Belgian reftt ees, is maintaining a hospital at Head iiIgh, which never con- tains less than 00 wounded Belgian soldiers. One of episodes he had vation Army men was the case of corps `was at the wbunded, perha.p the most interesting eard concerning Sal - in the war, he said, two drummers. Their front and both were by. the same "Jack Johnston." One went blind and the -1 other deaf, but they were brought to a hospital in England for treatment and . was expected- that both would be ,1 sufficiently recovered to return to the trenches during the . latter part of January. . . • • 4• • 4; 4.• • 4. .• • • - 4 ,THEOTTIZON.
