Arthur Meighen and is looking forward to renewing acquain- tance with him on his visit to Clin- ton next -week. In view of the fact that the premier is leading a pretty strenuous life • these days, speaking two -or three tinges 'daily and travel- ling -long distances, we ~would sug- gest to the' -committee in' -charge of 'his reception here next week that •after his public reception. at the sta- tion thew -turn Trim over. to. the car'•e of Mr. Sharp, who will take him. home, give him a nice, quiet little lunch and allow him to stretch him- self in an easy chair aged talk over old times for an hour or so. He will then come to the big public meeting rested and refreshed, and he will re- member Clinton gratefully after- wards. THE FIRST CONCERT. The first entertainment of the Ly- ceum course, being given in Clinton under the auspices of the Girls' Aux- iliary, was put on in the town hall yesterday evening by the Del Mar Quartette, four charming and accom- plished girls, Misses Billie Ekman, violinist and leader, Ida Naftzger., celloist, Lois Deuel, pianist and so- prano, and Phyllis Smythe, reader. The young ladies seemingly could in- terchangeably sing or play or act a little as need presented itself and they succeeded in giving a very pretty and varied program. Their last performance was the singing of several old-fashioned songs, dressed in the costumes of long ago. It was a good beginning for the series and, considering the very disagreeable weather, there was a fairly good house, The next entertainment is a lec- ture by Mr. Arthur W. Evans on Nov. 2011u At the beginning of the program Mr. Fred Jackson, on behalf of the Auxiliary, announced that the enter- tainments would commence promptly at 8.15 and that tickets for the re- mainder of the course, four enter- tainments, might be ],urchased for one dollar and seventy-five cents.

We have recently received a num- ber of conies of the San Francisco, (Cal.), papers from Mr. James Mc- Millan of that city but a former rest_ dent of Clinton, for whieh we thank him., Mr. McMillan was born here in 1857 and left the town in 1870. But although it is so many years since he last saw his native town he remembers it yell and can recall many well-known names' here. He would also like well to re -visit the scenes of axis youth if the dittanee was not so great, for as the years pass one's thoughts naturally turn to the scenes of one's youth. No doubt same of the older, residents will re- member him. LEAVING TOWN. Miss Bessie Porter has sold iter cottage on Rattenbury street to Mr. J. 13. Lindsay and is having a sale of her household effects on Tues- day next. Miss Porter has been in rather poor health for .some time and she will for the present at least mance her home with. Mrs. Tambly%n of Londesboro, where she has spent the hast two or three w'hite's. Miss Porter will be much missed among her circle of friends, -as she has been for the past several months while she has been indisposed, epecielly in the women's departments of Wesley church, in which she was an active worker. It is hoped her health will be restored. C. I. SPORTS AT SEAFORTII. A large number of C. C. I. stu- dents went to Seaforth on Tuesday to take part in the Collegiate sports there, the sports having been post- poned from Friday last on account of the unfavorable weather. Tuesday was a little better, but not much. The basket ball game between the two teams was keenly contested, the game standing at a tie at half and again at full time. The game was then continued until Seaforth won two more points, the spore standing at 18 to 20 in their favor. The rain prevented the baseball match be- ing played. It is expected the Sea - forth students will come here for tomorrow's sports. SOME SPORT IN THE NORTH. Life in the northern part of On- tario is not without its thrills. Word comes from Mr, James Crich, who lives in the Cochrane vicinity, that one clay he and his brother-in-law, Mr. Frank Brown, shot a big black bear and that another day, while Mr. Crich was in the woods looking for his cows he came upon a big moose which showed fight and as lie was unarmed he climbed a tree. While the moose w118 looking the other way "Jinn" crawled carefully clown, 'ran home and got his gun, but when he returned his moosoship had gone nor could he be found. The horns on this moose were at least six feet. "Jinn" will probably take his gun when he goes cow -hunting in future. A BUSINESS CHANGE. Mr. A. E, Betts who carte here from Ridgetown just a little over a year ago and bought out a baking and confectionery business, which by the way, he has made very success- ful, has again sold and will, for the time at least, go back to Ridgetown. Mr. Betts has not been in the best of health for some little time and it is hoped that he will fully regain it, although he may have to tinder - go an operation, The new 1111111 15 Mr. J. S. O'Neill of Milton, who took possession on Monday, Mr. and Mrs, O'Neill will take up their residence in Miss Por- ter's cottage on Rattenbu'y street, which they are renting from Mr. Lindsay. We bid then welcome to.. Clinton and mope they may find it both pleasant and porfitable to n'esIde here. PRIME IllINISTER COMING. Rt. -Hon. Arthur Meighen, Prince Minister of Canada, will visit Clinton on Wednesday next, Oct. 19th, and will address a big public meeting m the rink at two o'clock. Clinton has not been honoured with a visit from the Prime Minister since Sir Wilfred Laurier cane in Sep- tember of 1908, so this is a very special occasion. Elaborate perparations are being made for his reception and it is ex- pected that large crowds will come in to see and hear hire. The committee in charge has secured the rink so a6 to accommodate the lumber who will wish to be present at the public nmeet- ing and it will be fitted up comfort- ably for the occasion, lfl case the weather continues wet and cold prob- ably the town hall will be used, but etnnoutneeients will be made in good tithe. To l'Tenni nwin 'come in on Oa clever! train, will probably be aceatd. ed a pebilc welcome at the station and will have several lsotii's iii town, 146thea Mit to Gotlerich for the eva ening . HAD JOLLY- PARTY, - Miss Florence Rorke celebrated her lairtliday on Monday by entertaining zi number of her little girl friends to a jolly birthday party, Tho birthday :feast was lavishly spread with calve and candles and everything pertain- ing to such an oeeasien, and after- wards the young people amused themselves with various games. /LITTLE LOCALS, 11Tr< Robt.

East Huron teachers are meeting in convention in Clinton today, which accounts for the presence in town of so many intellectual looking people.. The day sessions are held in Owen. Memorial. hall. This , evening's ses- sion will be held in the town hall when an address by the. Rev. Canon Fotheringham will be given on "No. body's Dog." Miss Mclfee of To- ronto will also :illustrate some folk dances and there will be musical numbers, etc. DIDN'T KNOW SUM11IER PAST. On Friday last, Oct. 7th, Mr. A. Cantelon, clerk of the township of Goderich, brought into The News -Re- cord office some wild raspberries which he had that morning gathered from some bushes on hit farm. There were ripe berries of excellent flavor and many green berries, They looked exactly like bearing tips of raspberries ought to look in July or August and if the weather allowed of it no doubt they would fully nature and ripen. There is a kind of culti- vated berry which bears late in the fall but this is the first second crop of the wild variety we have seen. A LONG WINTER. "Fifty-two years ago, the year I cane to Canada," remarked Mr. T. Nott the other day in conversation with The News -Record, "winter set in on October 18th. The snow was piled high over the fences all winter and spring work olid not commence until about April 20th the following year." That seemed rather discour- aging to young settlers, no doubt, On mhking some such remark to Mr. Nott and suggesting that he must have felt like getting out of the country itis reply was, "Oh, we had no money to take us anywhere else, W se d were glad to be able to hold on." And so many of the set- tlers did "hold on," in the face of discouargeuents until they shade this country what it is today. This coun- try owes a mighty debt to the When and women who turned its forests into smiting farms. ENTERTAINED FRIENDS. A very pleasant evening was spent on Saturday at the Inume of. Mr. and Mrs. Geo, Jackson when their daugh- ter, Miss Berta, was hostess at a birthday party, about thirty guests being present. Music, cards and so- cial chat tvbiled the hours away all too quickly. The hostess was given a surprise during the evening when her friends presented her with sev- eral pieces of silverware in the Am- bassador pattern. Mrs, 0, B. Mott read the short address and Mrs. E. Schoenhals made the presentation. Miss Jackson was taken completely by surprise but she repondeci grace- fully, thanking them- for the kind wishes expressed and the handsome gifts, Much fun. was caused when the cake was cut hunting for the tokens contained in it. The party broke up at a seasonable how' and all went home after wishing Miss Berta "Many Happy Returns." A GOOD PACER. The following item of nbws clipped from the Aberdeen IS, Dais.)
