So it will be seen that the Indians have beaten the .strong col- lege teams with great regularity. They will play the Clinton team at the Recreation Park on Civic Holiday. Property Bought This week Angus McLeod, a well known business man, bought the cottage.and two`lots owned by W J Paisley on the corner of North and Wellington streets. Possession will be given on the 1st of August. The strange thing aboutthis real estate deal is that the new owner is a bachelor, but °we understand the ,present occupants of the house are going to vacate. Probably Mr Mc- Leod is tired of living alone. Was Not Thankful Tuesday evening as the L. H. & B. train was coming in the yard, a traveller, who bad an extra load on came to the platform, hut was in no hurry to get on. As the train started to move out, he thought he would get aboard, but was stopped and then the fun began. He tried to land a John- son -Jeffries hlow,but failed. He was lead awag to think over his- mistake, A train waits for no man, except the despatcher. CLINTON NEW ERA DR. OVENS, London, Surgeon, Ocu- list, Specialist, will be at W. S.

In His Wife's Name Judging by the prayer -meeting at- tendance one of the speakers at the missionary conference in Edinburg, hit the nail on the head in this par- ody : "In the world's broad field of battle, In the bivouac of life, You will find the Christian soldier represented by his wife.", THE days now grow shorter, A Good Ball Team. , Arrangements have been made for the Nebraska Indian base ball team to. stop in Clinton on their annual tour which the savages are now making. The Indians will play, the, League team at the Park on Civic Holiday; To Vote On Local Option Nine municipalities in the county of Welland have decided to vote on local option next January. They are Welland town, Orowland, Humber- stone, Willoughby, Bertie and Thor- old townships, and the village of Port Colborne, Bridgeburg and Fort Erie.. These leave but four municipalities un- organized. A county convention of temperance delegates from - every municipality in Welland county was held in Welland Baptist church July 14, A New Top Last week Levi Trick had a new top placed on his milk waggon which will shelter him from the rain and sun. The Niagara Power Guelph now finds it cannot sell. halt the Niagara power it agreed to take and wants its contract revised.

Principal, in the place of Mr. A. P, Gundry, ivho has resigned and goes to Strathroy. As Mr, Treleaven is no stranger to the citizen£, it will be unnecessary for us t 3 say anything. The Board has to ml two positions, Constantine-Chidley The ;home of Mrs Chidley, Isaac Street, was the scene of a pretty informal wedding on Thursday July 11th, when her sec end daughter, Clara became the wife of MrJA Constantine Manager of the Molson's Bank,Zurich, formerly of. the Clinton branch. The bride who was Unattended. . and was given away by her brother Mr George Chidley, looked charmingly sweet in an exquisite gown of white silk mull, little Miss Mary Chidley was ring bearer. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. Stewart. Among the guests from a distance were: Mrs Boyd, Chicago; Mrs R K Hellyar, Kemptville; Mr and Mrs G Chidley, Owen Sound; Dr McCallum, Londes boro; and Mr. J Urooks, formerlyof town. Mr and Mrs Constantine left on the 3:00 p m train for Toronto, Muskokalakes and Georgian Bay. The many presents both numerous and costly, tend to show in a small de- gree, the popularity of the bride. Hot Weather Arid "Mad" Dogs Every summer persons are greatly alarmed by dogs which show undue excitement, or are sick, cr dogs that, with or without such symptoms, bite human .beings. The belief still pre- vails that hot weather produces rabies in doge and increases greatly the dan- ger of hydrophobia It cannot be too plainly stated ,that this notion is un- founded. Heat does, indeed, make . dogs cross and irritable, just as it does human beings. It sometimesbrings on.d-isease-as-i-t does -with -men. BuLi does not make dogs "mad". Rabies is a terrible disease, but it is not caused by heat or discomfort or anything of that sort. It is always the result of, infection from some'other animal,usu ally a dog that bites, the other victim. A whole island continent- Austrlian which is very hot and dry and often exceedingly hard for dogs to live in, has never had any rabies in dogs,- or hydrophobia in human beings. - 1 Cleveland L'ead'er,] Play iin Wingham Friday The league baseball teann play an esbibition match in Wingham on Friday of this week, Had A Delightful Day The Ontario Street Church Sunday School bad a delightful day for their picnic on Tuesday afternoon.

Worthy Of A •Pamphlet Issue The following clipping fom a Fort r Francis "Times" is an extract from a report of an Institute sleeting held at Stratton, the lady speaker referred to being. ". a well-known and popular Clintonian. "After an instrumental duet by Mr Au:+on and Miss Campbell Mrs F W Watts was called upon. On rising she received a very flattering reception. Her subject was 'Happiness in the Home." Being endowed with a strong,maglietic personality, an en- gaging manner and a fluent speaker, thoroughly master of hersubjoct,witty humorous and pathetic for an hour she held her audience enthralled. She warned the young la lies to be careful in the selection of a lifepartner,beauty of character beingpreferable to beauty of person. She also advised the women that one way to retain the affection of. their husbands was to feed them well, but carefully scanning the audience she thought the men of Stratton and vicinity were well• fed. She proved conclusively that "the hand that rocks the cradle is the .. hand that rules the world" for educational purposes. A verbatim report of the ladies address world be worthy of a pamphlet issue for distribution. A holiday Suggestion . Isn't it time to consider a merger in national holidays ? Let Dominion Day stand, because that is our very own, but there are three other holi- days which might possibly beconsolid• ated. These are Empire Day, Vic- toria and the King's Birthday. Wouldn't it be better to focus our patriotic fervor on two big significant occasions than to spread it thinly over four ? The amalgamated , holiday would fall on the 24th of May, which has been bred into us with,64 years of habit, and it would be called Victoria Day, because under that good, great Queen the British Empire went furth- er ahead in all the walks of life, than under any other Sovereign. T h e teachers could lead upto the school proper spirit for it by telling the children of the great statesmen, war, riors, philosophers, authors and in- ventors who have ptit the British Em- pire ✓rn- pia where it is today. For Dominion Day the teaehers would tell all about the constitutional development of Oanada,onr resources and our judicial, Provincial, municipal, Penal and eau - rational systems. To know the Em- pire and Canada like a stook would vastly help the influence of two great tloli; lays.
