Goderich tax rate for this year has
been fixed at 32 milts,
Goderich Collegiate Institute was
opened last week with an attendance of
229, the largest attendance in the
history of the school.
The splendid large fountain donated
by Miss Smith, of Toronto, in memory
of her brother, is now erected, and will
add greatly to the Library Park, Clin-
ton.
Mr. Robert Match, Superintent at
the House of Refuge, Clinton, was
stricken by a paralytic stroke on Fri-
day last and is said to be in a very
serious condition.
Mrs, A. Hignell, for 33 years a resid-
ent of McKillop Township, not far
from Seaforth, has just indulged in her
first journey on a railway train by tak-
ing in Toronto exhibition. She is about
45 years ago.
Mrs. J. W. Jones, Seaforth, Ontario,
announces the engagement of her
daughter, Bell Genevieve, to Mr. Her-
bert Albert Lippert, Berlin, Ontario,
the marriage to take place quietly the
end of September.
A cheque for $450 was handed in this
week at the town hall by Police Magi-
strate Kelly, representing collections
made in the Police Court in the form of
fines during the quarter ending August
31st.—Goderich Signal.
A quiet wedding was solemnized at
the home of Mr. and Mrs, Richard Jen-
nison, Clinton, at 3 o'clock Wednesday,
September 15, when their youngest
daughter, Phoebe, was united to Fred
Weir of Swift Current, Sask.
There are growing signs that public
opinion in Ontark,,,is beginning to
crystallize in its antagonism to the
liquor traffic. In addition to a lot of
minor agitations for certain specific
reforms, there is also apparent an even
stronger feeling that now is the time to
wipe out the liquor traffic altogether
and not be satisfied with any quarter -
way measures. The thoroughness of
the West where the talk is not about
reducing the licenses by 10, 20 or 30 per
cent but where the action either taken
or contemplated, is the complete wiping
out of the traffic, is spreading to
Ontario. A few people seem to be
proud if the present 1300 or 1400 licenses
in Ontario may be reduced soon to
about 1000 but general public opinion'
particularly during the war, is not
likely to be satisfied with the presence
of 1000 licenses.
One of the definite steps for prohibi-
tion was a conference held in Toronto
with representatives of twelve different
organizations at which it was decided
to launch a campaign for the prohibi-
tion of the liquor traffic or at any rate
for a referendum on the question. In
addition to representatives of churches
and temperenoe organizations, this
movement has the co-operation of a
number of leading business men and it
is thought will develop great importance.
In Manitoba they are discussing
whether the women will vote on the
coming prohibition referendum or not,

even without the women and that per-

even more striking than one in which
the women participated.
The deputation appointed by the
This year an application was received
from Mr. J, J. Wilson, a young man of
fine presence and splendid credentials
and qualifications and it was felt by the
board that a new era was about to
dawn in local school matters. Mr,
Wilson arrived in the village on Tues-
day of last week, obtained the keys of
the school and expressed his intention
of opening school the following morn-
ing. He left on the first train next
day without leaving any word other
than a brief note stating that he would
be back the following Monday evening.
He failed to report for duty on Tues-
day morning and was then visited by
several of the trustees, He gave
several incoherent reasons for his
action but refused to take charge of the
School. The whole matter will be taken
up with the Education Department.
In the meantime the board have ad-
vertised for another principal.
Three Harristen men, Art Kennedy,
barber; Joseph Grisch, postoffice care-
taker, and Edward Johnson, bailiff, met
with an uufortunate accident at noon
Thursday while returning from Palmer-
ston in an auto. Kennedy, who was
driving, released one hand from the
wheel to adjust his hat and lost control.
The car turned turtle. Johnson was
thrown clear, but Kennedy and Grisch
were pinned underneath, Kennedy's
right arm was broken and he was
otherwise seriously shaken up. Grisch
had his chest crushed, one rib broken
and was badly cut about the face and
legs. Johnson was more fortunate and
escaped with a sprained shoulder and a
few minor cuts and bruises. Dr. S. M.
Henry was summoned ann attended to
the injured men,
Miss Phoebe Jennison, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs, Jennison, of King street,
Clinton, was married on Thursday, to
Fred Weir, of Swift Current, Sask.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
S. J. Arlin. After a short trip to the
east the happy couple will take up their
residence in Swift Current, Sask.
William Simpson, who resides on
Huron street, Clinton, went out to the
Northwest on one of the harvest ex-
cursions, and while working at the
harvest, met wite a bad accident. He
was engaged in drawing grain, and in
some way was thrown off the wagon and
suffered a broken collar bone and some
broken ribs.
Mail delivery over Rural Route No.
7 out of Lucknow started on Wednes-
day of last week. No. 7 goes South
from Lucknow to Belfast and turning

From a Well Known Methodist
Clergyman of Interest to All
Who Are Sick.
One of the best known ministers in
the Hamilton conference is the Rev,
Chas, E. Stafford, of Elora, Ont„ who.
freely admits that he owea his present
good health to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,
Mr. Stafford writes as follows: "Some
years ago I was severely afflicted for a
period of nearly four months. The
leading physician in the town in which
I was then stationed diagnosed my case
as one of complete nervous prostration,
brought on by over -work and which
superinduced intercostal neuralgia and
muscular rheumatism, from ° which I
suffered the most excruciating pain
night and day for weeks. So weak and
helpless did I become that my atten-
dants had to handle me like an infant

strong reeommendation of the editor,
who had great faith in the medicine, I
decided to try them. To my great sur-
prise and supreme delight, I soon found
that the Pills were giving me relief,
and after I had taken seven boxes I was
fully restored to health. Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, under God, having made me
a new man, Ever since I have been
better and stronger physically than I
had been for a number of years.
Three years ago, after an active
ministry of forty-six years, I asked the
Hamilton conference of the Methodist
church to grant me superannuation re-
lation, which it did, but for more than
two years I have been supplying a
charge which necessitates a drive of
twenty miles every Sabbath. To -day
I am strong end hearty, without an
ache or pain, and for my present phy-
