CLINTON DOESN'T.B13NEF1T.
'Clinton hospital: board was greatly'
elated over the news that a legacy of
$2000 liad been left tor hospital use
by the 1ate,Wm. Scott of Egniondville
but it appears that',.the report was
exaggerated, ^ in so far ae Clinton is
concerned. '. The becniests,"it"is said]
Were made to Seaforth,'WingJ lsan anti
Goderich' but Clinton- was left, •oils:.'
Clinton will have to get along without
this legacy and if the bylaw carries
,.on Monday will be able to do so, nice_
1y, lthough the gift of $2000 would
hav4, been very acceptable.
