GIVE IIIM REAL REST.

Molsons Bank was a schoolmate of
the Rt. -Hon. 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

lunch and allow him to stretch him-
self in an easy chair aged talk over
old times for an hour or so. He will

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.

VOICE FROM FA -R OFF STATE.
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

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.)

racing horse owned by a former Hur-
on County citizen, Mr. 'Win. Eagle-
son, whose parents reside at Bayfield.
Mr. Eagleson visited the old home
county last year. He evidotitly likes
a good horse:
