uron Pioneers.
The Gode ich township correspondent of .
the Clinton New Era gives the following
sketch of t o of the oldest residents of the
county : Sterling, of the 6th conces-
sion of God rich township, certainly ranks
as one of t ie pioneers of the township.
Over 60 ye rs ago he came there with his
tether, bein at the time a boy of fifteen,
and he has esided on the same concession
all these ye irs'though not on the flame lot
all the time He knows by personal experi-
ence what life in the bush " means, hav-
ing helped o clear a couple of farms in this
neighborho d, and can recount with vivid.
nuts the ha, dehips endured by the men who
helped to make this county what it is, hard-
ships that Will never be known by the
young genertion. That he does not travel
m
very uch s shown by the fact that during
all these ye re he has only taken one rail-
road trip, aid this was from_alinton to Lon-
don and re urn, While he is able to get
around, an4 does considerable choring,
has not enj yed rugged health for some time.
Both he an1 his amiable partner are held
in the very highest esteem and respect by
all, and well they might be for they
are both sterling by name and nature,
being of that familiar type of Scotch
character so famoue the world over, and we
arn sure we voice the sentiments of every-
body in wishing them lengthened life, peace
and happiness in their declining days. Five
members of their' familr-three sons and
two daughters -have homes of their own in
the great west, one daughter is married to
P. McDougall, jr., of this toWnship, whiles
son and daughter are stilt on the home-
stead. ,
,
Another one, who is poesibly more; en-
titled to the designation of a pioneer than
any one else, is Mrs. Switeer, who resides
with leer son James, on the homestead, 6th
concession, Goderich township. About 64
or 65 years age she came inter that township,
the only means of entry at that time being
to follow the couree of the -river, which her
husband did when he left the confines of
civilization. Their first home was s. very
unpretentious one indeed, but it possessed
all the elements of a true home, and many
a pioneer found shelter and hospitality
beneath its roof. Mrs. Switzer is now in
her 82nd year and is a remarkable example
of the sturdy pioneer, possessing the use of
all her faculties, and even yet being able to
endure an amount of exercise that would
tire out many persons of younger years.
She has been a life long Methodist, and is yet
one of the most regular attendants at church.
One of her early experiences worthy of men
tion was a trip to Toronto,with her husband
the entire journey beipg made with a yoke
• of oxen. She has bee a widow for a score
who contribute to the happiness of her de -
;1
or mere years, but ha a number of children
olining years. She is as "fresh as -a daisy,"
and looks as if she had a long lease of life
yet before her,
and the wish of her many
friends is that Providence who hae been her
friend and benefactor all through Ilife, may
not only indefinitely prolong it, but may
crown her with His richest blessings.
Canadian Foods at Paris,
Word has been redeived at the Depart-
ment of Agriculture at Ottawa, from Mr.
W. A. McKinnon, who is in charge of the
exhibits of Canadian food products at the
Paris exposition that Canada has been
awarded the grand pr ze for cheese, butter
and eggs in cold store e. The eold storage
show case and its contents continue to at-
tract great attention from commercial men ,
to the possibility of enlarging the export
trade of Canada in all classes of perishable
food produets.
APPLES IN FINE CONDITION.
The 'Meet shipments of apples from Can-
ada arrived in Paris i fine condition. Most
of the packages sent f om Grimsby, Ontario,
contained on their arr val from 75 to 95 per
cent. of perfect specimens. There were
also sarnples of Fameuee of last year's crop
in perfect condition in Paris on July 18th.
Other varieties which bad kept particularly
well were cases of American Pippins, Bald-
win, Golden Russett, Ben Davis Newman C.
P,, Pewankee, Canada Red and Northern

noon, lightning struck the steeple of the

the roof and inside badly damaged. Loss
