OLD AND NEW
. In writing to renew his subscrip-
tion a:ecently Mr. 1G. A. Newton of
Torontosaid: "I have taken a Clin-
ton paper ever, since eI started mq
harnesamalcing . apprenticeship with
the late James Twitchell in 1871."
This is one of the old timers but
a young subscriber remarks: "It is
as good as a trip back to Clinton
every; time I see the paper,','
SHOULD CLEAR STREETS'
According to pictures published in
the daily press 'Mitchell seems to be
somewhat snowed -in, the snow being
piled up on its front streets to such
an extent that progress is difficult,
Clinton used to allow its front
streets to get blocked up, too, but we
have progressed past that stage and
now keep them cleared for traffic.
You can cross almost anywhere and
it is easy to get into any place of
business. Mitchell should get into
the progressive town class and dis-
pose of its snow, drifts.

IiAS WITNESSED CHANGES
!Pers. James Lindsay of Clinton on
Monday last celebrated her ninetieth
birthday, Mrs. Lindsay was born in
London, England, on the day Queen
Victoria ivas married, Her maiden
name was Anne Churchill . and her
parents carne to Canada when she
was three. They settled hi Goderich
township and she lived there all her
life until she came to Clinton a few
years ago, being a resident of this
community for eighty-seven years.
She can tell many an interesting
story of the early days in Goderich
township, when life was much simp-
ler than it is today. One is that of
being sent as.a small girl to a neigh•-
bor's for some live coals, the fire
having gone out on the Churchill'
hearth, and runningall the way,
nearly a mile, -borne, with the coals
carefully covered in a. small sauce-
pan. 'Tis a far cry 'from that day to
the present when many of the :farm-
ers have electric lighting in both
house and barna and run all machin-
ery by it. The fire' doesn't go oat in
such cases, you just turn a button
and there it is.
Mrs. Lindsay has in her possession
a book with. which she played as a
child, a bound copy of the Penny
Magazine, which had numbers of il-
lustrations and was lent to many of
the neighbours in the early -days, as•
reading matter was not so plentiful
as it is today. This book was brought
from England, by her mother and is
still in a good state of preservation.
ee. Lindsay still enjoy's .-fair
health, being able to be about the
house every day, and, enjoyed the
little eattiily party which was bidden
to celebrate her interesting- aneiver-
sar
y. She looke a s forward to Thursday
when The News -Record comes" out
and also reads the Globse daily, al-
though she has had much trouble
with her eyes and hes the use of only,
Her friends warmly congratulate
her on theattainment of four score
and ten years.
