C. L^ boys defeated the Goderich 0. I. boys on Tuesday night, in the fastest hockey game of the season, The ice was very soft, but never- theless, the Clinton boys were in the best of condition, and played with uni- form speed throughout the three per- iods. Most of the goals were scored by individual rushes, as combination was impossible, on the heavy ice. "Chic" Bawden was the star of the evening, scoring the majority of the goals, and by tricky and speedy play swept the puck in from behind the nets twice, This is another victory for the C. C. I. boys. The score was 12-2. Line-up as follows: Clinton Goderich P. McTaggart goal R. Bechler N. Anderson R. defence L. Macklin C. Munn L. defence B. Stricklin F. Elliott R. wing L. Walker F.

Amongst those on the platform were the president, Mr.F. T. W. Hodgson; Secretary, E Floody; Mt, J. Robert -- son; past president, Mr. J. Joynt, M. P. P. for West cHuron; Mr. J. M. Govenlock, M. P.

Newton, A SUCCESSFUL BANQU>T, The most successful banquet ever held in connection with the Huron Central Agricultural Society was giv- en in the town hall on Thursday evening last when about one hundred and ninety people sat down togeth- er. For some years the banquet has been held 'on the evening of the fair, but that is usually a very busy day and many who would naturally wish to remain for the banquet would find themselves obliged to go home in the evening after having been away all day and so missed the banquet. This year it was determined to have the banquet on a day by itself and the result proved the wisdom of the change, For the first time the ladies were present and their presence no doubt added to the interest and pleasure of the occasion. The banquet itself was all that could be desired, being well -cooked and well -;served. Mr Wendell d was s the caterer and on this occasion, the first large gathering for which he has catered since coining to town, he gave excellent satisfaction. During the progress of the banquet Phelan's Orchestra dispensed sweet music, which was highly appreciated. Mr, C. Cook also sang a solo during the evening. At the conclusion of the banquet Mayor McMurray, who is also secre- tary of the Society, assumed his du- ties as toastmaster and the following list was gone through: "The King" was responded to by the hearty singing of the National Anthem • "Agriculure" was _proposed in a neat and comprehensive speech by Mr. S. B. Stothers, district repre- sentative, and responded to by Prof. Day of the 0. A .0„ Guelph. Prin- cipal Reynolds ' was to have been present but being unavoidably de- tained, Prof, Day Cattle in his stead, Mr. J. A. McConvey of London, was also present and made a brief speech. "Huron Central Agricultural So- ciety" was proposed by the president, Mr, H. C. Cox, Messrs, Wm, Mc - Ewan and Thos. McMillan respond - "The Ladies" was proposed by Dr. 3• W. Shaw and; as an , innovation the response was made by a member of the gentler sex, Mrs. H. B. Combe, who in her maiden speech proved that women, contrary to common belief, are quite capable of speaking for themselves. - Mrs, Goethe congratu- lateci the toastmaster on his wisdom in choosing so able a mean as the worthy doctor to propose the toast. She congratulated the women pres- ent that the day had come when man was taking his rightful pace as the "peer" of woman, instead of her 'superior" end kleclared that the influence of woman in the political, religious and social life of tho nation meant progress and development. Th. un3Ci e M nettles w , 1 itsro nosed by Mr, 3. A. Ford, tot several years reeve of Clinton and le response brought fine addresses front Reeve Trwartha of Goderich township, and Mr, W. N. Manning of London. It was altogether a very suecossful and pleasant gathering. - "THE HOM : PAPER he n NewsRecor BOARD DINE TOGETHER, Following an Annual" custom the retiring board -of the Clinton Public I-Iosptial and as many of the staff as could be present, held its little ban- quet on Tuesday evening, The little gathering is nfsually held in the hos- pital dining room but this year the stat]' has been so busy that it seem- ed impossible to get a sufficiently free clay so Mrs. T. Mason kindly opened her home. The supper and the socialflour together of the lad- ies who have worked together dur- ing the past,yeer to further the in- terests of the hospital were enjoyed and appreciated.

The following item .from last week's issue of The Simcoe Reformer will be read with interest by Clinton citizens. Mr. Davison recently sold his business here to Messrs. Corless & Venner and has since been taking it easy. We shall regret losing the family from town but wish them suc- cess and prosperity in Norfolk's County town. "The transfer in proprietorship of the largest harclware establishment in the county is a very recent piece of news. The purchaser is Mr. W. H• Davison, who cones from Clinton, Mr. Boyd's reason for selling is the conviction that he should take a holi- day. We understand that stock -tak- ing began this morning and that as soon as it is completed Mr. Davison begins possession." DEATH OF MRS. J.

Record refers to the wife of a former resident of this county, Mr. Scott having been born at Seaforth and taught school in various sectiote of the county before going west. He is a nephew of Mrs, Duncan McEwan of Clinton, Mrs. Scott visited here two or three years ago and won golden opinions from all with whom she came in contact. Her early death is keenly regretted; "The passing away of Annie Hogg Baldwin, beloved wife of W. J. Scott, on Tuesday evening, Feb, 8, 1921, in a Winnipeg hospital has cast a gloom of sadness over the town and dis- trict. The short duration of her ill. nese and sudden death has made the sh ek the, more apparent, Deceased was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and was in her 38th year, coming to Canada about 15 years ago, afterwards returning to the old eomn- try. In a short time she retraced her steps, and eleven years ago was married to Mr. Scott, at the home of .las. Logan.

A rather mysterious shooting af- fray took place at Wingham on Thursady night, or rather Friday morning, when Albert Loutitt was shot by W. Gt Patterson. The shoot- ing occurred in the latter's house and the story of the man who did the shooting was that he thought Loutitt was a burglar. The wounded man was taken to the hospital and Pat- terson was placed under arrest. A trial is to be held today. Loutitt has so far recovered from his wound as to be able to leave the hospital. EARLY OI±ICKENS. Talking about early chickens, Miss Jessie Murphy of Goderich township carries off the paha this year as far as we can find out for early chickens, having had a filock come off on Feb. 25th. It is a good thing for the chickens that this happens to be a mild winter or we fancy the poor things would feel somewhat reproach- ful for being brought into the world so early in the season. However, if they live and thrive they will have some cause to feel superior toward even early March chicks, VISIT THE SCHOOL. The trustee board of the Model school has arranged that the school 'shall be open to the public on Wed- nesday afternoon and evening of next week, from two until four in the af- ternoon and from seven. until nine in the evening, so that anyone who is interested, and all citizens are, may have an opportunity of going over the building and noting the many improvements made. Many have been waiting this opportunity of seeing just what has been done to improve the building in which the youth of Clinton spend so many hours of their first years, A SUCCESSFUL' PARTY. On Monday evening the Citizens' Band gave a skating party in the rink and, as is usually the case when the band takes anything up, it was a great success. The ice was not flrstclass, but con- sidering the leasot, was very good, and the crowd left nothing to be de- sired. As many as could still swing a skate and Could find pair i• a of skates, put them on and went " with the multitude", and those who for any reason couldn't skate, looked on. Of course tate music was good. In fact, there was almost one continuous "band", about double the usual num- ber being put on. Refreshments were served, E.
