NOW QUALIFIED. AS CAPTAIN,
The name of J. R. Rumbalit• of
Toronto appears in the list of those
who were awarded captains' certifi-
cates after a terns. at the training
school at Cramp Borden. Mr. Rum -
ball, who qualified as , a lieutenant
last winter, has been attached to
the 229th, the York County Bette,
lion, and Jias been; assisting with re-
cruiting throughout the county for
some time. He is another old Clin-
ton boy who. is making good in the

ing to lay abide personal ambitions
in order to serve the Empire.
FOUR -SCORE AND SIX.
To see him walking briskly • up
street with erect bearing, meeting his
fellow -citizens and conversing about
the topics of the day, one can hardly
imagine that Mr. Isaac Jackson is
fourscore and six years of age. And
yet it is so. On Monday last, Septa
dth,
he passed the eighty-sixth mile-
stone on lire's journey. A long-time
citizen of Clinton, having come hero
winen the town was little more than
a crossroad, he has always had its
welfare at heart and being' cheery,
optimistic and kindly, now, in the
evening of life, he enjoys the regard
of his fellow -citizens. The News-Rec-
ord•hut voices the general sentiment
in offering Mr. Jackson felicitations
on the attainment of so venerable an
age.
