favourites such as Camptown
Races and Eon Anniversaire

the group, trained each of them
in music, and has conducted
them on many concert ap-
pearances.

outstanding Canadian Tenor.

Do you remember?
BY JABEZ RANDS
(As part of Clinton's upcoming Centennial celebrations
next year. Iabez Rands of Clinton is writing a weekly
column on the history of the town.)
Do ,you remember when there was a chopping mill on the
lot on Mary Street where the Bell Telephone Building is
located now?
During the early part of this century, there was a small
chopping mill on this property and it only operated in the
winter months, This same property was the place where the
Doon Tannery was located that burned down in 1898.
Although this mill only operated in the winter, it seemed
to do a good business of grinding grain for the farmers.
When it was in operation, there was always a good number
of farmers with teams and sleighs loaded with bags of grain
lined up outside the mill.
The power for the mill was supplied by a steam threshing
engine which was rented from William Cole each winter.
Ern Lawson of Clinton was working for Mr. Cole at the time
and one spring when they tried to get the steam engine out
of the mill, it wouldn't move because it had sunk into the
ground to the ash pit.
Mr. Lawson was sent to the mill with another steam
engine to try and pull the stuck one out and the second
engine was nearly stuck in one of the old tannery vats that
were buried underground.
A portable steam engine was used in later years. It was
pulled by a team of horses and I believe it was left there the
year round.
This mill was owned by Jonathan Brown and it was taken
away in two sections in 1913 to make way for the new
skating rink which became the Clinton Lion's Arena in later
years.
One part of the mill was bought by Albert Seeley who used
it for a garage at his home on Mary Street, The other part
was bought by a Mr, Cantelon and moved to Princess Street
and set up against the north wall of the store that is now the
Clinton Electric Shop. It Was used as a storage building for
some years.
The second part was later bought by Fred Mutch and he
used the lumber from it to build the garage that is now
William Mutch's on Princess Street.
