We will euppose you aro furnishing a room and require a picture

Would you think of asking your dealer "How much will it cost
for a picture 18x24 inches, cat;thinly not. He would think you de-
mented, because such a picture might be the work of a master or
a niero "pot boiler". Quality determines value, not size, Just so
with diannonds a stone of a certain size might he cheap 'at $200.00
or dear at $12..00. Color, freedom from flaws, perfection of cutting,
are determining factors, even more so than size.

RECEPTION TO PASTOR.
Although it is some little time
since the Rev. G. 1. Burns asstmted
charge of the Clinton and Auburn
Baptist churches - the congregation
here had nut had an opportunity of
tendering to him and his family a pub-
lic reception until Tuesday evening
of this week when a six o'clock sup-
per was served -in the Sunday School
room with them as guests of honour,
and the officials and members and the
ministers of the other denominations,
with their wives, being present.
The ladies of the congregation had
Prepared a very dainty, though sub-
stantial supper, which was well -
served and nisch enjoyed by all pres-
ent.
When the needs of the inner man
1 had been atttettdec] to in the dining
room the people repaired to the body
of the church where a short program
was gone through. Mr. Wm. Mc-
Intyre presided and en address of
welcome to the new pastor and his
fancily was given by Mr. D. K.
Prior, which Mr. Buena replied to in
a very happy scanner. Mr. C. S.
Hawke and the Rev. J. E. Hogg al-
so spoke briefly, prior engagements
making it inmossible for the other
ministers to remain. The choir con-
tributed to the pleasure of the even-
ing by giving a selection and Mr, G.
Jones sang a solo.
The Rev. George I. Burns, who is
a native of New Brunswick, has been
nearly twenty-nine years in the min-
istry, this being his sixth charge. He
began his ministry in Grey county,
near Durham, but crone here from
Binbrook. He has a family of nine,
four being still in the hone nest,
two boys and two girls and five arc
out taking their places in the big
world.
The family are now nicely settled
in their comfortable parsonage and
aro a welcome addition to Clinton,
where it is hoped they will have a
happy sojourn. •
THE LOCATION OF TIIE GUNS,
So much adverse criticism was
heard, especially from the members
of the G. W. V. A., regarding the
removal of the souvenir guns front
the postoffice square and in front of
the town hall to Waterworks Park
that Superintendent Chant, taking
the natter in his own hands, on Fri -
clay afternoon had then returned and
set up in their old places. Mr.
Chant rather resented some of the
remarks regarding the Iocation of
the guns in the park over which he
has control o which t he *, v '

A spot as
any in
town. He says he only asked for the
machine gone because there seemed
no suitable niece for them. But he
• didn't want them at all if any consid-
erable body of citizens objected.
On Friday evening a special meet-
ing of the council was called by the
, mayor and the matter discussed. All
members were present with the ex-
ception of Councillors Necliger and
Johnson. Mayor McMurray ex-
plained that the reason for the cal-
ling of the council together was be-
cause of the criticism of the motion
regarding the removal of the guns.
He said he felt sure there had been
a great , deal of misunderstanding;
that no slight upon the G.W.V.A.
or anyone else had been intended by
any member of the council but that
he thought it well, in view of the
Criticism, that the notion he recon-
sidered and it was before the coun-
cil to rescind or to sustain as they
saw fit, Councillors Paisley and
Kemp then made the following mo-
tion: "That the motion passed last
meeting re removal of the German
field gun and the two machine guns
be rescinded and the guns, having
been returned to their original posi-
tion, be left there."
Before this motion was put Court-
chlor Cooper, who was the dieter of
the original notion, said he wished
to state that in malting the motion
he had no thought of putting any
slight an the returned sten, nor had
Conneillor Langford in 'seconding it
or any member of the council in
passing it, he felt sure. His only
idea was for the welfare of the town,
He said ho was quite willing to
vote on the notion before the coun-
cil although he still thought the
present site was not the site for the
gun, IIe said he did not see why
it should be supposed _that Ito was
opposed to the returned solchers;
thnt he had had two brothers at the
war; that In

NEARLY ALL 3IURONIANS.
The Imperial Orange Lodge, No.
2767, Toronto, of which Mo. W. M.
Elliott, is Worthy Master, is com-
posed largely 01 former Huronians,
as the following list of officers will
show:
Chaplain, Rev. J. A. Robinson,
formerly of Clinton.
Rec: Secretary, W. E. Fleetly, for-
merly of Clinton.
Fin. -Secretary, H. 1. Morrish, for-
merly of Goderich. --
Treasurer, E. Fleetly, formerly of
Clinton.
Dir. of Cor., H. L. Hanley, former-

First Committee Man, J. H. Prid-
hant, formerly of Goderich.
Second Committee Man, C. M. Can-
telon, formerly of Clinton.
In addition to the above named
there are several formerly from
this county who are members with-
out office,
AFTER LONG SERVICE.
Mr. J. W, Elliott. who has con-
veyed His Majesty's mail to and fro
Between the postoffice anch the station
for the past twenty-four years, in-
tends to drop out when his presort
contract expires at the end of Ap-
ril and let somebody else have the
privilege.
Mr. Elliott had his contract ncacle
over tie the late Mr. East, but on
the death of the latter the Depart-
ment was disposed to keep the
bondsmen, who had also been Mr.
Elliott's, to the contract and Mr.
Elliott' again assumd the responsi-
bility. ' It is a responsible position
the bonds are heavy and, as has been
seen, the undertakings of the bonds-
men are not light. Mr. Elliott has
probably managed it as well as any-
one could, as he had his horses and
rigs
anyway,and al
wap
an extra
hand around the livery barn, but a
day which commences at six -thirty
in the morning and does not end un-
til eleven -eighteen at night, without
holiday Year in and year out is bound
to become somewhat monotonous and
Mr. Elliott is going to take a rest
from his labours when his contract
expires. We hope the postoffice de.
pertinent will find somebody as faith-
ful- and as conscientious to continue
the work.
MRS. CHARLES COLE PASSES.
There passed away on Monday ev-
ening in Clinton an old restdeet of
this community in the person of Mrs.
Charles Cole, in her eighty-seventh
year.
The deceased lady, whose maiden
name was Elizabeth Churchill, was
born in Old London and came to this
country when about eight years of
age. She was married to her now
sorrowing husband , nearly sixty-
eight years ago, the anniversary
coming on March 7th. It was the
intention of the family to have upon
that day a little gathering and have
photographs taken of the four gen-
erations, the little daughter of Mrs.
R. Fisher being a great-grandchild.
Mr. and Mrs. Cola lived for many
years on tho•5,th concession of God-
erich township, on the farm now
owned by Mr. Albert Cantelon, and
later resided with their• son just
north of Clinton, bet for some few
years they have lived in Clinton.
They were devoted to each other and
spent the time happily and quietly to-
gether, and while feeling the infirm-
aties of age, they were remarkably
well, Mrs, Cole having attended to
her own few ltoasehold duties from
day to day eight up to within a few
hours of her death.

don number of grandparents but had
in adclitibn four great-grandparents,

vie and Mr, and Mrs. Chas, Cole.
On Monday evening Mrs, Cole passed
into the "Great Beyond." .]loci she

sixty-eighth anniversary of her mar-
riage. It was the intention of the
family to honour the occasion. but
the Angel of Death intervened.
ANOTHER YEAR ADDED.
On Monday, St. Valentine's Day,
two of.. Clinton's citizens cut fresh
notches in the post or passed another
milestone in life's journey. They
were Messrs. Joseph Wheatley, who
for- many years Pilled she position of
Chief Constable in Clinton, and Wil-
liam Cantelon of Cantelon Bros., one
of the oldest business firms in town,
. The figure of the former is not so
familiar upon our streets as it once
was amd•many of us have not yet be-
come accustomed to the absence of
"Big Joe". Dut he's .looking well,
however, and when he does come up
street meets his old friends with
the same cheery greeting as of yore.
113r. Cantelon has been laid off ac-
tive duty for: the past couple of
years, following a fall which resulted
in a fractured limb, but although con-
fined to the house he is still inter-
ested in all that transpires about
hint. IIe is a native of Goderich
township, his father having been one
of the early settlers in that township,
where he wets born eighty-one years
ago .
The News -Record voices the senti-
ments of its readers in extending
congratulations and good wishes to
these two worthy citizens.
