A. Forrester - it is a pleasurable sadness to at- tempt to write. a0 obituary of aity- oue, but especially of a lifelong friend, One with whom one has been intimate, sharing his :thoughts, as- pirations, iixations, ideals, experiences, xe'ers- es and successes. It is occasions of this lime, but more especially the subject pre80111• to us that brings one sharp up against the complexity, the incomprehensibility of our existence on this planet called (Earth. Nobody has less to say about our advent in- to this Life than ourselves. Absolute- ly powerless, we are simply the vie - time of accident. A considerable per- centage never see the light, never draw the breath of life --a further considerable fraction never emerge from the mewling and • puling stage into aecountibility, Those that sur- vive gradually find themselves face to face with the struggle for eats- tence, which resolves iltself in turn into the survival of the fittest. •And iu the contest a further paradox pre- sents itself -in that those apparently least fitted for the' combat, frequent - .1y1 emerge superior. The stunted, the infirm, the crippled, the maimed, the unimaginative, in their very- de- fects possess blessings, in immunity from temptation, they wot not of - compared to tate woman of peerless form and beauty, or the man of vig- our, brilliant intellect, talented, Apollonie in appearance, whose. very Sansonian strength does, but in- crease his plasticity in the hands of Delilah. And that we reach the end ; over which (saves when all hope witit- in us is forever crushed, and grins, black despair in full control rides rampant) we have as little control as with our advent. And through Years of seemingly endless suffering and pain, or blotted out as in• a flash ; we go and are no more seen. The walking shadow has vanished - the poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage has played his part -the tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing, has been heard -and our name ff ever. mentioned is referred to as a memory ; and we-are-no- more-. "Vanity of vanities, saitii the Preacher, all is vanity." David Forrester was born in 5t. Marys, March 26th, 1840. lie dell - Friday evening, January 10th -a small blood -vessel in the head, gave way ,under some slightly abnormal pressure, and he was dead; as it were in a moment. Ilis early education was in St. Marys Grammar school. i:le read late in .Jones sIo MCDOuga.11's o01ee for two years. His father, Andrew Forrester of eFifeshire, traced his descent to an Englishman of that nano, who was left in conmiansl of a conquered district. The fancily moved in 1870 to Mitchell, where David Forrester was engaged in flax business. He came to Clinton in 13711 and continued bore in the sante business, He married Miss Elizabeth Aikens in 1875, by whore he had twelve ehildron, nine sons and three daughters, of these, Andrew Forres- ter, in business in Hamilton, Fredet'- lelc, G. P,R. Dublin ; David, on the home farm, and Ross and Roy light- ing for our liberties on the blood- stained holds of Flanders, his eldest daughter Annie, Mrs, G. Chidley, liv- ing in ib[edidne Mat, and Helen, at home, survive him. His son Frank gave his -lite its France a few mouths ago. David Forrester was no ordinary man. He had a keen intellect, above the average. IIe was well read for these parts, -He might be called nn omnivorous reader. He possessed the ability to speak forcibly in public. He was especially independent in thought and action. While he was an exemplification of every boy and -4v - cry girl that's born into this world being either a little • Liberal or a little Conservative, 011 the 'heredit- ary oafs would frequently assert it - itself -yet he never failed to 000011011 ie. no uncertain manlier what Inc thought was corrupt or inadvisable in either party. 130 wan fairly prom - Mont in the political world, often 'being • asked to speak on 'behalf of a candidate.

There seemed to be little sktt- tishness; -hwever., Bach, one took his place like an mid war horse. The old members moved till, ns It were, nearer the reeve, the new members taking the lower end of the table, 11 was noticeable tinct every member took some part in the proceedings, and there seemed to be iid.tle indica_ Gen that the 00011111 of 1111.0 will be rc silent one. _. Mayor Cooper made his opening ad- dress, touching upon many of the gacatioris which will come before the (ouncil, IIe congratulated the council upon ` their position. lie said that it was the duty of citizens to take an inter- est in. public affairs and to seep a sphere of usefulness, "It is not what 'Le can get out of it but what we can put in that we should airs at," said he. "No citizen can be fully understood by the public until be has served in a public capacity. Some Hinter the council and surprise even their Gest 'friends by their achievements, I hope this council will be of that class. My advice to you would be to act upon your own best judgment regardless of conse- quences and of your re_ election. And do not be afraid to suggest something: Nothing Is accomplished without a stat," He also touched upon the town fin- ances, warning the council to keep within the estimates and to watch expenditures; of the band, suggesting that it be.,treated generously, in view of its services to the town ; of the returned soldier, that every assis- tance be given hint in aiding bini back,e• •'1' into his ecu hi iii life and p also of 1 suitable monument for those who have fallen. The mayor also spoke of the need of 11civ schools and suggested that a board of education be forted and this matter be thoroughly gone into before any action is taken. The town Gylaws, road improvement, the Pub- lic Utilities, cemetery improvement, all canoe in for some comment. He also spoke of the excellent 1.µl1 of the fire brigade and suggested that they should be provided with the best equipment and also some scheme might be provided whereby there might be a fund to draw upon in rase of injury. That 01111)11 of an nevi• dent policy being taken out, as 111 some places, a certain stmt might be set-aside each year, which would be drawing interest and would be avail- able in case of need. lee thought also that some new industries night be established in Clinton if 1,10 were willing to invest our, own money in such enterprises. We might, in addition to the , excel- lent industries we already possess, have a flax mill, furniture factory, etc, Community meetings µa8 another matter which the mayor thought might help to bring about good re- sults, the members of each ward to meet and discuss the needs of their own ward. lie spoke of the value of the newspapers inkeeping the public informed as to tine work of the coun- cil and said the only road to success was along the way of co-operation.
