The Rev. S.. E. McKegney conducted the service at thegraveside, the funeral taking place on the arrival of the afternoon'. train from the north. The 'deceased was the sister-in-law of the Misses Mountcastle of Clinton. DID NOT LONG SURVIVE. The death took place on Sundayat the home of his son-in-law, Mr., W. Rumble of Victoria Square, where he had been visiting for some little time, of Mr. C. A. Annis of Port Union, in his seventy-second year. The late Mr. Annis was a brother-in-law of Mr. E. and Miss E. Washington and Mrs. J. Southcombe of Clinton and his wife died, after a long illness, and was buried in Clinton just about six months ago. He was a member of a well-known Scarboro township family. He is survived by two sons and two daughters. NOW A "MODEL" SCHOOL, Hundreds of citizens visited the Model school on Wednesady after- noon and evening last week to inspect the improvements trade to the build. ing during the past summer, Everything was as "smart as new paint" and the first impression given was that of pleasure, and as one went from room to room and noted the improvement in lighting, in ven- tilation and in sanitary arrange- ments one could not 'but feel that the improvements made had been very material. Inspector Field rates the school A-1 as to lighting, sanitation and heating, and Dr. Shaw, local officer of health, also expresses himself as highly pleased, saying that short of an entirely new building it is as com- plete as it can be. By changing the windows and en- larging then the old and pernicious "cross -lights" have been completely done away with. This is said to have been the cause of much eye trouble among the students in for- mer years and the new arrangement is said, by those who have made a studyof it,to be almostperfect, The scheme of ventilation, which is not yet perfectly worked out, will be highly efficient and the steam heating has been giving the best of satisfaction. Sanitary lavatories have been in- stalled, with outside and inside en- trances, and the roomy basements have been fifitted for play roosts fer the winter or wet weather. The principal has a small private office *here, it is presumed, he can chastise a boy or lecture a girl with- out spectators, or can transact what- ever business conies before him, and there is also a neat little room for the female teachers. There is an- other small room nil'w filled with junk which Principal Bouck hopes to turn into a school museum and he says ho has already the promise of many articles of interest for the museum. Interesting relics of former days in Huron county would be appropriate for such an exhibit. There is still another roost which ,in time Mr. Bouck hopes to see fit- ted up and used as a domestic sci- ence root. IIe has already begun to utilize it by using it as a lunch roan for those who carry their lunch to school and he himself takes charge and sees that a cup of hot cocoa or tea is served to each child who eats a cold lunch. The children pay five cents per week into a fund for the purchase of tea, sugar, cocoa, etc., and the children keep the room tidy. Now desks have replaced the old ones for each of the teachers but for the present the seize desks are used for the children. The black- boards have. been renovated and two slate board have been put it. It is the intention of the board to place a new slate board each year until every room is so fitted. And the probability is that itt time inclivi•d- nal desks will be placed in each room. The big basement playrooms are a great convenience. The extension dewnward of the walls, which was made necessary in order to have the basement, was a clever piece of worktnanship, The earth was 'exoa- vetted and the wall made to etxend downward about three feet, Solna ecntract that,r butM , W „T 1JII t , r0 , t said it could be done and he did it, and did it well, , The principal and sta:if, the pupils hd the board are all delighted with the result and school work is ox. pootod to ruin along es smoothly as melted butter bent this tie ons CHOICE CATTLE, Mr, Norman Ball of Hullett deliv-, Bred four heed of choice cattle on Saturday to Messrs.

'• . The bride was given away by her brother and the marriage cere- mony was performed by the Rev. S. E. McKegney, only immediate friends being present. After the newly -wedded pair had received the congratulations of those present dainty refreshments were served and Mr. and Mrs. Oak left on the night train for their home in Goderich, the bride going away to a smart navy blue suit withs. embroid- ered lace hat to match. The bride is well and favorably known in Clinton and has she good wishes of her friends for a happy married life. GREIG-HODGE. A very quiet wedding took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Greig • at high noon on Monday, March seventh, when their younger son, Laurence Edgar Greig, was wedded to Miss Alice Louise Hodge eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Hodge of Paddington, London, England. The bride wore a handsome gown of midnight blue satin, hat to match and carried a bouquet of Ophelia roses. Miss Ruth Jackson, little cou- sin of the groom, acted as flower girl. The bride was given away by her brother, Mr, W. G.

Anyone, man or woman, who has come of age since last electionl'othexwise have been present, but a or anyone who has taken up re 3i. + good crowd gathered and a most en- joyable evening was spent. The ladies had taken great pains to pre- pare their boxes in the most attrac- tive way and they were not only at- tractive to the eye but their con- tents were also satisfying to the in- ner man. Mr. 'G. H. Elliott, Clinton's popular auctioneer, wielded' the haat- mer and did it so well that every box was disposed of in short order and brought in handsome figures. Later their' Contents wore enjoyed. A very pleasing program was Mee giv- en. Theviolin music by Mrs. Fred McEwan and Mr. A.

Gibbings' pond the other day when one of the rafts collided with an "iceberg," was wrecked and the lad went down. We have it on good authority that the water was found to be both cold and wet and the lad lost no time in getting hone and in- to dry togs. It is a bit too early yet for outside bathing, even though the ice has been gone for some time. The 24th of May used to -be the op- ening of the swimming season. WISE—HOLLAND.,, • A pretty wedding took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Holland at high noon yesterday when their daughter, Florence, was united in marriage to Herbert LeReau Wise, son of Mr, and Mrs. E.
