' A CHANGE OF NAME. ' Mr. Wm. 1'. Egg of Montreal, for many years an official of the C. 1'. R., visited last week with his relatives, Mr. and Mrs. John Holmes of the Huron Road, west, and also called on many old friends in town, amongst them The. News -Record. Mr. Egg had a surprise for us on this occasion as he informed us that he had changed his name. It is a compara- tively common thing for a woman to change her name but is not so com- mon for a' pian to. do so and when he does decide upon such a change it must be done by act or parliament, as in this case. Mr.' Egg and his family, having decided to change their surname, applied and were giv- en permission to do so and will henceforthbe knownEgerton, as erton g , which it will be admitted, has a rath- er more aristocratic sound than Egg We were glad to note that Mr, "Egerton" is the same genial, kindly man he has always been. He hasn't put on any airs with his new name and is just as welcome to his old friends with the new tag as the old one. DEATH OF MRS. J. L. HEARD. GOES TO WOODSTOCK. The unanimous call extended by the .Central Methodist church, Wood- stock, to the Row R. S. E. Large of Thorold, has been accepted, subject to the action of' the stationing com- mittee... As a ,young, anon he was no- sistant to Rev, Dr. Cleaver, in the Metropolitan church; Toronto. Since then he has occupied the pulpits of Danforth avenue church, Toronto,and Carleton avenue, Hamilton, He is a nephew of the late Mrs. Edward Turner of Clinton: SUCCESSFUJ STUDENTS. Willis C. Cooper and W. R. Chowen are two young' Clinton boys who have successfully passed their first year's exams in the School of Practical Science, Toronto. Mr. Chowen, ow- ing to the fact that his studies were broken into by the war, has some conditions to meet before starting on his second year. but he will probably,, find them quite possible to meet. Congratulations and good wishes 'for future success, are extended the students. TOO 1VIANY FIRES. During the past week in ,Huron county three very destructive fires. have occurred.. One at Goderich, loss about $80,000; one at Hensall, loss not stated but no doubt running into thousands of - dollars and an- other at Exeter resulting in -an es- timated loss of $50,000. At• a con- servative estimate $250,000 worth of ,roperty went up in smoke in Huron county within eight days. We - do not know whether any or all of these fires might have been prevented, but we do know that; every possible pre- caution should be taken against fire. As a people Canadians recklessly burn up far too great a percentage of their profits - TEACHERS FOR ENGLAND. For some time it has been the practice of the Board of Education of Toronto and that of London, Eng- land, to exchange teachers for a year, and Clinton will this year have the honor of being represented in the mother land by three former Clin- tonians, who are now on the Toronto staff. These are: Miss Sadie Holmes, daughter of Mr. Robert Holmes; Miss Dell O'Neil, daughter of Mr, W T. O'Neil; and Mr. Elmer Beacom. They will enter on their work in England the latter .part of August, and it goes without saying that they will worthily _ uphold the Neputation of Canadian .teachers. In- cidentally they should be able to enlighten those they come in contact with concerning Canada and its future. PRESBYTERY MET ON TUESDAY. The regular May meeting of the Huron Presbytery was held in Willis church, Clinton. on Tuesday, a good attendance of both ministers and elders being present. The Rev.

Ilamilton of Leeburn and Rev. J. E. IIogg of Clinton. A SUDDEN DEATH. e when. a Much sorrow was expressed w it became generally known on Fri- day morning that Mrs. J. L. Heard had passed away. It was known for several days that her life hung by a threadbut it was hoped that youth would triumph and she would pull through, but it was not to be. The rleeeasod lady who had only passed her twenty-fifth year, was the only daughter of Mrs. Tasker of Clinton and'of the. late Richard Tas- ker of Hullett. She was married to her now bereft lnrsband about 'six years ago. She • leaves three little ones, the eldest, a bright 1itt1e boy, was born while the father was over- seas, 'a winsome little daughter of between two and three, and another little daughter of three weeks. Her mother and three brothers also sur- vive, Willie, Percy and Leslie. The family has lived in Clinton since Mn Heard's return from overseas, he having gone into business as a bar - her, here. The funeral took place from the family home on Ontario. street on Sunday afternoon. The llov. S, An- derson conducted the servicesr as- sisted bySnowdon. the Rev. T.J. t The pallbearers were Messrs J. and B. Tasker, E. Wendorf Bert Jervis, Harry Ambler and Willie Miller, In terment was made in .Clinton ceme- tery. Many very beautiful floral offer- ings wore sent by sympathizing friends. Among those front out of town who were present for the funeral were Mr. E. E, Hunnifard of Lon- don, Messrs. John ,find Bert Tasker of Blyth, and many olcl friends from Hullett and i G.odorich township's,' Mr. Heard and Mrs, Tasker and fernifly wish to expresI their sincere appreciation of the kindness and gym' pathy extended to that in their sor- row and bereavement, WINS ANOTHER SCHOLARSHIP, John Townshencl, son of Mn and Mrs. Albert Townshend of Goderich township, and arradu to of Clinton Collegiate, has won the William Moffatt Seholarshlp at Queen's Uni- versity: This is not so very surpris- ing, of course, as .Mr ,Townshend' has cultivated the habit of Whining scholarships but, we extend hearty'' congratulations just the same, AN ENJOYABLE DANCE. The Odd Fellows gave a. benefit dance in the Normandie assembly rooms on Friday evening, the object being to raise money for the fitting up of an Odd Fellows' room in the Clinton Hospital. There was a great crowd present,. amongst them being a number who do not usually attend such gatherings. The music was furnished by the Phelan orchestra and the dances were mostly the old" ones, with whichthoso past the hobbledehoy and. flapper age are.most familiar, and the affair was declared to be a most enjoyable one. Cards were indulged in by those who did not care to dance. A nice little sum was realized for the special ob- ject in view. • LITTLE LOCALS. The watering cart is doing full duty this week and is much needed. Mr. Harness of Exeter has been taking charge of Mr. Heard's bar- ber shop this week. The W, C. T. U. homemade bak- ing sale on Saturday afternoon last was quite successful. The silent policeman is on daty again, with his quiet reminder that the rules of the road must be ob- served. Mr Win, Elliott is moving the frame house, the "other" half of the old Queen's hotel. from Victoria to James street and will fit it up as a dwelling. If the local banks would take the Wednesday half holiday and keep open Saturday afternoon it would be a convenience to the other bus- iness people. J. McCosh has been given the job of painting the exterior iron work of Willis church. It is a somewhat ticklish job but "Jack's" friends say he will do it to perfection. A VENERABLE POET. The following hymn was composed just recently by Dr. S. D. Ford of Norwood, a' brother of Rev. J. E. Ford of Goderich, formerly pastor of Wesley church,. Clinton. Dr. Ford celebrated his 'eighty-first birthday on April 18th and is still practising his profession : "Help me, 0 God, Thou source of good To render Thee Thy ckue, Of love and praise and gratitude For mercies ever new. From early morn till eventide Of each successive day, Be Thou mynever-failing guide Along life's changing way. Teach pre, ()Lord, how best to serve Thy purpose here below, From wisdom's pathway n'er to swerve, But onward, upward go. 7 long for higher, better things, Than ,earth presents to me, To raise on faith's aspiring wings, And vcallc and talk with Thee.

Mr. Fred Sloman gave an illus- trated lecture, "The Merchant of Ven- ice," in St. Paul's school room on Monday evening, under the auspices of the Boy -Scouts. - Mr. Sloman had a fine lot of pic- tures and his story of the play was very interestingly .given. • A large number of people, especially young people, were present and the enter- tainmnt •was enjoyed. Mr. Sloman has been giving a series of such lec- tures at Blyth, where he is teaching, and they have been very highly spoken of. , I. 0. 0. F. DISTRICT MEETING. ' The district meeting of the I. 0. 0.

' A CHANGE OF NAME. ' Mr. Wm. 1'. Egg of Montreal, for many years an official of the C. 1'. R., visited last week with his relatives, Mr. and Mrs. John Holmes of the Huron Road, west, and also called on many old friends in town, amongst them The. News -Record. Mr. Egg had a surprise for us on this occasion as he informed us that he had changed his name. It is a compara- tively common thing for a woman to change her name but is not so com- mon for a' pian to. do so and when he does decide upon such a change it must be done by act or parliament, as in this case. Mr.' Egg and his family, having decided to change their surname, applied and were giv- en permission to do so and will henceforthbe knownEgerton, as erton g , which it will be admitted, has a rath- er more aristocratic sound than Egg We were glad to note that Mr, "Egerton" is the same genial, kindly man he has always been. He hasn't put on any airs with his new name and is just as welcome to his old friends with the new tag as the old one. DEATH OF MRS. J. L. HEARD. GOES TO WOODSTOCK.

One at Goderich, loss about $80,000; one at Hensall, loss not stated but no doubt running into thousands of - dollars and an- other at Exeter resulting in -an es- timated loss of $50,000. At• a con- servative estimate $250,000 worth of ,roperty went up in smoke in Huron county within eight days. We - do not know whether any or all of these fires might have been prevented, but we do know that; every possible pre- caution should be taken against fire. As a people Canadians recklessly burn up far too great a percentage of their profits - TEACHERS FOR ENGLAND. For some time it has been the practice of the Board of Education of Toronto and that of London, Eng- land, to exchange teachers for a year, and Clinton will this year have the honor of being represented in the mother land by three former Clin- tonians, who are now on the Toronto staff. These are: Miss Sadie Holmes, daughter of Mr. Robert Holmes; Miss Dell O'Neil, daughter of Mr, W T. O'Neil; and Mr. Elmer Beacom. They will enter on their work in England the latter .part of August, and it goes without saying that they will worthily _ uphold the Neputation of Canadian .teachers. In- cidentally they should be able to enlighten those they come in contact with concerning Canada and its future. PRESBYTERY MET ON TUESDAY.

The Odd Fellows gave a. benefit dance in the Normandie assembly rooms on Friday evening, the object being to raise money for the fitting up of an Odd Fellows' room in the Clinton Hospital. There was a great crowd present,. amongst them being a number who do not usually attend such gatherings. The music was furnished by the Phelan orchestra and the dances were mostly the old" ones, with whichthoso past the hobbledehoy and. flapper age are.most familiar, and the affair was declared to be a most enjoyable one. Cards were indulged in by those who did not care to dance. A nice little sum was realized for the special ob- ject in view. • LITTLE LOCALS. The watering cart is doing full duty this week and is much needed. Mr. Harness of Exeter has been taking charge of Mr. Heard's bar- ber shop this week. The W, C. T. U. homemade bak- ing sale on Saturday afternoon last was quite successful. The silent policeman is on daty again, with his quiet reminder that the rules of the road must be ob- served. Mr Win, Elliott is moving the frame house, the "other" half of the old Queen's hotel. from Victoria to James street and will fit it up as a dwelling. If the local banks would take the Wednesday half holiday and keep open Saturday afternoon it would be a convenience to the other bus- iness people. J. McCosh has been given the job of painting the exterior iron work of Willis church. It is a somewhat ticklish job but "Jack's" friends say he will do it to perfection. A VENERABLE POET.
