AN INTERESTING CAREER Elijah Hutchings, Aged 97, Came to Canada in Salling Vessel. ELIJAH HUTCHINGS And his' great-granddaughter, Mary Birt, Winnipeg Man. "I realize I must die very soon, but I have the satisfaction that I am ready to meet my God," said Elijah Hutchings, aged ninty-seven years, who resides near Ngwboro, to the Whig on Wednesday." When the Whig man drove into the yard at the rear of his home he found Mr. Hutching's walking around with the assistance of two walking | sticks. He {is believed to be the oldest | man in that section of the country. Mr. Hutchings, who was born in Sommersetshire, England, will on June 7th, next, be ninety-eight years of age. Although he has nearly reach- ed the five score mark, he does mot appear to show his years. His eye sight is somewhat poor, but his hear- ing is exceptionally good. During all the years Mr. Hutchings has resided near Newboro, - many things have taken place. His: father was a tradesman in England. In the year, 1848, accompanied by his wife and two children, he came to'Canada on a sailing vessel and it took five weeks and five days to make the voy- age. During the first two weeks, the sailing vessel, which. was used to land made exceptionally good time, but the wind changed and then the vessel was hindered greatly. Aboara the ship were 120 English people who were coming to Canada to make their future homes. Passengers brought their own food. Hard tack was handed out, but Mr. Hutchings can well remember throwing it into the ocean and seeing the sea gulls down it. Landing at Quebec, he made his way to Kingston, then to New- boro by water. He went Bedford Mills, a short distance from Newboro to the @ew mill where he worked for fifteen years. Dytiig those. years he saved sufficient money ts buy a farm, on which he lived for years. As he land and purchase 100 acres more at the rate of a half dollar per acre. He carry lumber from Canada to Eng | had a brother working at the mill, | he did not go to London, where he ' could secure a grant of fifty acres of | yr saved $21, with which he bought a) cow. Up until ten years ago, he lived in the old homestead. At present he is living with his youngest son, Her- bert. Referring to the ad¥ancements | which have taken place during his | { life, he remarked that the mill where he used to cut wood, is now | being used to produce electric power to light the homes. He znjoys auto | driving. But stated that when it came to flying in the air, terra firma was | good enough for him. His family con sists of Eli Hutchings, Ottawa; Mrs. Harriet Poole, Vancouver, B.C., Eli- sha, better known as E. F. or Fred Hutchings, of Winnipeg; Arthur Hut- chings, of Winnipeg, Mrs. Eliza Anne Thompson, Edmonton; Mrs. A. W. | Hanna, Edmonton; Robert John Hut- | chings, Calgary, and Herbert Hutch- | ings, Newboro, R.M.D. No. 1. His son, E. F., of Winnipeg, who is president of the great Northwest Saddlery | Company, is a millionaire. There are | forty-seven grand children and two | great great grandchildren. He was not sure of the number of great grandchildren. Mr. Hutchings has driven to the Brockville and King- ston market hundreds of times. TRUCK LOAD OF BOOZE ON DOWN-TOWN STREETS | {But it Was Government Liquor on Its Way to Hamiiton. A few years ago a trutk load of | "booze" going along the street would | have attracted very little attention, in fact there would be nothing. un- {usual about it. But since the coun- try went "dry" things have changed. Wednesday afternoon a truck load of "strong stuff" passed along Wel- lington and Princess streets, and it was a great sight for thirsty ones. No, it was not on its way to some celebration, but merely being taken |from- Montreal to the liquor vendor |in Hamilton. In these days the pre- |cious stuff has to be handled with |care. So instead of putting in on a [train it was loaded on a motor truck {and three men were sent along to {keep tab on it. One fellow left the | truck long enough to get a lunch at la restaurant on Wellington street, but the other two 'specials' doing duty on the job kept their eagle eyes on the cases to see that they did not mysteriously disappear. A number of well-known citizens looked rather longingly at the big cargo, but all they could do was to have a look. FINE EXHIBITS PROMISED At the Kingston .Fair Which Is to Open on Tuesday Next.

Farming in those days was hard work, as so much of the time had to be spent in clearing land. It was a common occurrence to have venison three times a week and also lots of ssh to eat. He could stand in his back door step. and see the deer play- ing in the pear by wood. When asked what was used for illuminating the homes, he eaid that the people used to catch fish called "'skinners", say- ed their fat and with a piece of rag as a wick, used it 3s a lamp or can- le. In the early days, Newboro was known as "Isthmus." As far.as he knew he is the oldest man in that part of the country. Mr. Hutchings cleared eighty acres of land and the wood, which was cut with an axe into cord wood length, was sold for $1 a cord and loaded on a boat.
