20 JANUARY 1915

Jan. 18th

Mrs. (Capt.) A. Mussells is spending a few weeks in Weymouth with her daughter Mrs. H. Journay.

Several commercial men have visited our village of late in connection with their different lines of business.

A.L. Davison, M.P., of Middleton, was in our village recently, accompanied by Major W. Rawding of Deep Brook.

We are pleased to learn that Miss Alice G. Harriman, who went to Boston some time since has obtained a good position in that city.

The Methodist and Baptist churches recently gave their respective Sunday Schools their yearly treats, which were much enjoyed by the children and adults belonging to them.

We are sorry to have to report some of our people on the sick list. W.V. Vroom, Esq., is confined to the house, suffering from a very severe cold. Mrs. Colin LeCain and Miss H. Lockwood, we learn, are also indisposed.

Mr. Dennis Powers, Section Foreman on the D.A. Railway here, I am sorry to state has had to lay by for a time on account of ill health. Mr. Norman Sulis, of Smith Cove, will take his place. We wish Mr. Powers a speedy recovery.

Although times are said to be hair, and business dull in general, yet Clementsport seems to be doing [the?] present Winter so far a fair amount of business. Mr. Herbert Hicks has on his wharf at present (though quite early) for shipment in the Spring some five hundred cords of soft wood and a fair amount of hard wood. Our new firm Rawdings & Potter are getting a fair share of trade, and our Post Office and Customs House business compare well with former years, while our meat shops, butchers, blacksmith, all seem to be prospering.

We are very sorry indeed to have to chronicle the loss of another horse to Captain Andrew Walker which was accidentally killed on Saturday last while engaged in hauling ice for Mr. Fred Ruggles’ meat shop. It was being driven at the time by a son of Captain Walker, who in some way drove too near a steep bank near the building. When the ice was being deposited, the horse, sled, ice and all went over the bank down into the brook breaking the sled and killing the horse almost immediately. I learn that this is the third horse Captain Walker has lost within a year or two by accident.
