It is - noty forty-five year" since I have severed.my connection with the old town, I was back on short visit. in 1988 and there have beet many changes in this old world since then. My father,: mother and brother, John, are laid away; in the old ceme tery, north west of town. I suppose there are a great''many more laid away in the same; place by pow.'- 1 spent some good days in Clinton. when a boy, but like many others, wandered away and air sorry -co say it was my lot to be in Old Mexico when ntiy; lather, Mother 'and brother, John, passed away. 'Clinton is a long way from here but, I ani going to' make an effort .to be with•you during the Celebration. I may meet a few of the 'old timers, who are now like myself, 'past their three score years and ten. It hap been my intention for he, past four years to- pay Clinton a visit,'if i'or nothing- else but to look at` my par- ents' and brother's last resting place. I attended school. -with such boys as Will Coats, George McTggart, Joe Rattenbury, George and ' Andrew Diehl, and 'many other with whom I' was not on intimate `terms. There were some boys that 2 have had some rough fights with but that is as past and gone.. These are trines that we do not appreciate until after they are gone. " , With kindest regards to everybody in the ;old town and with many fond remembrances, I am going to try to .be there.

There was one old boy more hate - fel than the magistrate who was re- lated to. the Queen. _His name was Hobson. and he came around every year with a big black boat and said how much taxes we would pay. - Mr. Wise said some harsh things' and I reasoned that only a very wicked roan 'could incite such- anger..
