THE HOME PAPER •••••••*4•••••••••••A A SMALL MAZE 1 Members of the Clinton fire bri- gade made a run out to the farm of Mr. James VanEgniond, north of town, Saturday morning, fire having started in a pump .house where a gasoline engine 'is need to garnp wa- ter for Tann use. The pump house, situated between the novae and the barn, was but a small building and had to be torn down to save the pump and engine, ST. PAUL'S GROUNDS At the vestry meeting of St. Paul's church on Tuesday evening there was some discussion of the habit of the public, principally students, running through the church grounds. The habit has become ' so oilman that it has created a nusiance, as paths have been worn and these have become waten ways, disfiguring the lawns. It is said that some children even run through the vestry when the doors are left unlocked, making a thoroughfare of the church building. This is really caroling things too fais The church officials have made no complaint of people using the walks to get from one street to the other, even went to the expense of laying a walk from the side entrance to Rattenbury street, and in the summer days it makes a nice walk en the front, around the church and out either one •of the walks to Rat- tenbury street. but the public will not stick to the waiks and it may be that the officials will have to forbid the use of them if the nuisance continues. It may not be geeerally known but all that church grounds is a grave yard, hundreds of bodies hav- ing been burled there in the early days before Clinton had. any other cemetery. Only a few of these graves are marked but under those sods lies the dust of many of the men and women who first settled in this district. That in itself should be sufficient reason why it should not be rudely trodden over by careless i:eaTthis grounds was given•by the Can.. ada Company for a church and bury- ing ground before there was any .settlement here and it has ever since been used for that purpose. If the public is forbidden the use of these :wanes as a thoroughfare it Will be because the privilege has been abused. But perhaps a little reminder will be sufficient to make such action unnecessary. St. Paul's is one of Clinton's beauty spots and all citizena, irrespective of their church affiliations, should take a pride in it. PROF. MeLENNAN RETIRES "The retirement of Prof. S. C. Mc- Lennan as head •of the department of physics of Toronto University and his decision to live in Singlet(' is not only a teal loss to the provinee's in- stitutioe of higher learning, but to the whole of Canada. He has made a real. contribution to science and is recognized today as one of the world's greatest scientists. Western Ontario is particularly interested in Dr. MeLannan, as he was horn ori farm in Perth County and was edu- ustat Stratford Collegiate Thsti, et 'd ee h.i pt above is a part of an editorial from yesterday's London Free Press, and the editor may be tight in what he 'says. But Mr. W. D. Pair of Clinton has a very distinct reeollec- tints of Dr. McLennan as a boy in Clinton, probably before the Strat- ford period, so we shall claim him too. His father bought grain here for a time and .the family lived in the cottage in Huron street which is now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Wm, Shepherd, Mr. Fair's grandmother lived next door and en Saturdays and before and after school he had many chores to do for her and the two boys found many things in common. On twa or three occasions when Prof. 1VfeLennan has visited in Clin, ton he has renewed the old friend- ship and 1VIr. Fair has watched his career with great interest. 1VIr. Fair remembers distinctly many &frame terista which as a boy showed the bent ef the studious" mind and says that the last time he met him he had changed but little. Me.

CRICH After an illness of over a year, though at times her condition pro- mised some hope of recovery, Char- lotte Carter, wife of Mr. Melvin Crich of Tuckersmith and daughter of Mrs. Roger Pepper of Clinton, passed a- way in Clinton Public Hospital on Monday. Mrs. Crich had been a great suf- ferer and her death came as a re- lease, but her husband and family would fain have found sonse cure for her leis, had it been possible. She is survived by her husband, a daughter by a former marriage to the late Frank Piewes, Ivy, Mrs. Alton Johnson of Tuckersmith, one son, Harry, and her mother, Mrs. Pepper, One sister, Ms's. J. E.

Everybody who likes eggs should be able to get satisfaction with eggs the price they are. Eat eggs and help boost them again. The Globe says: "It should be borne in mind that more than fifty years ago there was a January just like this one has been So far; also a February with Live feet of anew," The_Clinton Golf Club is putting on a dancein the town hall on Friday evening of next week to' which all the members of the Club and also of the Clinton Lawn Bowling Cie) aro invited. Mr. S. G. Castle has sold hie house in Victoria street to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Webster of near Varna, who will get possession the first of March. Mr. and Mrs. Webster will be welcomed as citizens of Clinton. What the town saves in sn•owpiew- ing this winter will probably be need- ed to build up the streets which the mild wet weather and inc use of cars have cut up rather badly. Prob- ably this Would also go for the teen- ty and the province. 1VIr. 1VIelVeillan, M.P., who -was in town yesterday, says that the. win- ter of 1879-80 and that of 1889-90 were just such winters as this one. At least that there was no snow ex. cent a little between Clnietmas and New Year's, All teaming had to. be done by weemis ANNUAL H.O.B.

The St. Marys Journal -Argus tells the following story of an egg, which we pass on to our readers, calling the especial attention of our several dealers in the community. Would they give such an egg a "Fresh Ex- tra" label? It certainly should have an "extra" mark of some sort. "Evan nature makes mistakes sometimes, so if we 'humans stray from the beaten path on occasions it would seem that it is not such a. crime after all. One of the peculiar. freaks of nature brought to light re- cently was something- out of the or- dinary and as such it is worth men- tioning. When Sylval Aikema, dau- gliter.of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Aikema was having' her morning egg, she was surprised and somewhat nonplussed to find embedded in the centre of the spheroid a full grown bean or large. field pea. This was a case where, nature.had slipped, apparently." DEATH OF MISS M BROWN The funeral took place from St.. Joseph's church, Clinton, on Tuesday morning of Miss Mary Brown, for- merly of Hullett township, but who• had been Iving in London for a num- ber of years.
