Jos, ALLANSON, "the King gard-

inferred from its weight.

Mr. G. SWALLOW represented the
Presbyterian S.S. and Mr. I. Taylor the
Methodistatthe Provincial Convention
in Hamilton last' week. Both gentle-
men speak very highly of the success
of the gathering, which fornutuberand
enthusiasm surpassed all previous con-

THE MACPHERSON-HOVEY CO. is
preparing to cater to the Manitoba
market and is this week building a
separator of larger dimensions and
greater capacity than is required for
the grain �rown in this province. This
Monarch will be in several points sup-
erior to those heretofore manufactured
by the works and used so satisfactorily
by Ontario threshers. When completed
it will be sent to one.of the best -filled
barns in the district and given a
thorough test.
MRs. T. O. COOPER, one of the oldest
and most respected residents of this
section, celebrated her 83rd birthday
yesterday. The lady is yet :is smart
as a cricket and a marvelously well
preserved woman. Mr. Cooper, who
is in his 90th year, is not as lively as he
used to be, but a chat with hire or Mrs.
Cooper is of deep interest to the rising
generation. Mr. and Mrs. Cooper
were married 65 years last September.
Both have lived a long and happy life
and NEWS -RECORD readers will wish
that they may yet be spared for years
to come.
DEPUTY -REEVE JONES, elected last
week by acclamation, has been a Clin-
tonian for a quarter of a century and
is held in high esteem by his fellow
citizens. He was born in Wales and
until some time after he had passed
his majority, could not speak a word
of Englich, but from want of use his
native Welsh, the language of the
bards, is now becoming rusty. The
worthy Deputy is fond, though, of
meeting a brother Welshman and
dipping into the deep gutterals of his
boyhood's tongue.
A TENyear old youngster fell asleep
in the gallery of the Rattenbury street
Methodist church last Sunday evening
and not awaking until ten o'clock
found the lights turned out and the
doors locked. As might be expected
from one of his years, the situation
alarmed him and making his exit, by
way of a window, he scampered home
at hes best speed. He crossed the
threshold in a nervous state and the
recollection of his experience is likely
to prevent any future roaming in the
land of Nod while attending the means
of grace.
THE dates for the 12th annual series

MR. THos. NEILANS shuffled off this
mortal coil suddenly Monday, dropping
dead while sitting at the Londesboro
hotel dinner table. Heart failure,
which has called away so many appar-
ently ill possession of good health, is
supposed to have been the cause of
death. We had never met the deceas-
ed, so can only form an estimate of his
character from the opinions of his
undoubtedly numerous friends, all of
whom speak of him in warm and gen-
erous terms. He must have been it
whole-souled man to win such tri-
butes. Mr. Neilans was for twenty-
seven seasons Tax Collector for the
townshift of Hullett and it was while
engaged raising the revenue for next
year's council that the silver cord was
snapped asunder. He also in other
ways served the public and served them
well. He was a native of Scotland
and a staunch Liberal. His wife and
family of three survive to mourn his
untimely end.

boyhood's tongue.
A TENyear old youngster fell asleep
in the gallery of the Rattenbury street
Methodist church last Sunday evening
and not awaking until ten o'clock
found the lights turned out and the
doors locked. As might be expected
from one of his years, the situation
alarmed him and making his exit, by
way of a window, he scampered home
at hes best speed. He crossed the
threshold in a nervous state and the
recollection of his experience is likely
to prevent any future roaming in the
land of Nod while attending the means
of grace.

MR. THos. NEILANS shuffled off this
mortal coil suddenly Monday, dropping
dead while sitting at the Londesboro
hotel dinner table. Heart failure,
which has called away so many appar-
ently ill possession of good health, is
supposed to have been the cause of
death. We had never met the deceas-
ed, so can only form an estimate of his
character from the opinions of his
undoubtedly numerous friends, all of
whom speak of him in warm and gen-
erous terms. He must have been it
whole-souled man to win such tri-
butes. Mr. Neilans was for twenty-
seven seasons Tax Collector for the
townshift of Hullett and it was while
engaged raising the revenue for next
year's council that the silver cord was
snapped asunder. He also in other
ways served the public and served them
well. He was a native of Scotland
and a staunch Liberal. His wife and
family of three survive to mourn his
untimely end.
