A. season opened at Goderich on New
Year's, with Clinton as the visiting
team, who were defeated by the home
team by a score of 15 to 1. Clinton
had not a strongteam, and the boys
declare that the ice was so dark it was
impossible to see the puck. The score
at half time -was 8 to 0, but in the
second half Clinton succeeded in scor-
ing one goal, although their opponents
soon resented by piling up an addition-
al score of seven goals. Brown Jack-
son, of Seaforth, acted very efficiently
as referee, and on no occasion found it
necessary to penalize the players.

Some Business Changes
The next important real estate
change that has taken place here for
some thne, is the purchase by the Sov-

ing business. It shows the confidence
that the bank has in this town, that
