It refers to a fee. mer resident of Clinton: "Word .was received yesterday by Mrs. A. Clucas of 543 Sherbourne street of the death by accident in St. Louis, Mo., of her sister, Miss Elizabeth Logan, of this city. No details have been sent to Mrs, Culcas beyond the fact that death was due to an automobile accident. The late Miss Logan was born more than 50 years ago in Goderich, but had lived with Mrs. Clucas for the past 18 years. Her life in Toron- to had been devoted largely to the services of others, and her death will be felt particularly in Church anti social circles of this city. For many years she had been a member of St. Paul's Anglican 'Church and the teacher of a class in its Sunday school, Miss Logan left for St. Louis six weeks ago on a visit to her ewe nephews, the sons of Mrs. Clucas, Letters from her where expressive of the pleasure that had been hers dur- ing her stay in that city, and the news of her death came as a great shock to friends in Toronto. The deceased is survived by her sister, Mrs Clucas, and three broth- ers, resident in the United States. The funeral will takeplace ace at' God- erich on Monday next." . The deceased lady was on a visit to St. Louis and was out for a run with the wife of herenephew, Mrs. H. Clucas, who was driving the car, Miss Logan being in the front seat with her, In the rear seat were the' little son of Mrs. Clucas and Miss Dorc,tny Rattenbury, who was also visiting her relatives in St. Louis. They were some twenty miles from the city and had taken a wrong turn leaving the highway and were not sure of the road but had stopped at a garage to enquire and proceeding according to directions Caine to a steep hill with a sharp turn at the bottom and in tak- ing this in some way the car got out of, control and turned over, pinning Mlles Logan and the little :boy under it. Miss Rattenbury, who was either thrown clear or managed to crawl out ,ran back to the garage for as. sistance, a considerable distance, and as quickly as possible help came and the oar was turned back and the young lad, who was still conscious, and pleading for release, was rescued., Mrs. Clucas, while waiting for help, although free of the car, was unable to render any assistance to her little son and- was almost frantic with ter• ror of what might be disclosed when the car was righted. It was fecund that Miss Logan had been instantly killed. T(te little boy was quickly conveyed to the hospital and his wounds attended to anti it is hoped no permanent injury will result. Mrs, Clucas and Miss Rattenbury were un- injured, aside from a few bruises, and' theenevitsible shock and strain. Miss Rattenbury hail just a few minutes before changed places with the lit - tie boy, who wished to be on, her side of the car so as to be close to some water they were pnse't 6. The remainsof MissLogan ttr wore brought to 'Toronto, a short service was held at the home of Mrs. Clu- Bas Oh Sunday evening, and or Mon- day they were brought to Godcrich for interment. The Rev.

Ona vote of 305 to 8? Goderrleh on, Monday rejected -a bylaw author- izing the expenditure of $55,000 to install 'a filtration plant, Sonic time ago the Ontario Hoard of Health or- dered an improved filtration plant, in- volving sense such cost„but.the rate- payers have the idea that by the -ex- tension of the intake pipe out past the south breakwater pure water can be obtained at a much less cost. The notion of the Provincial Board of Health will be watched with interest. WELL. BEING DRILLED.. .... The drilling of the new well by the Waterworks Commission is now going on, the first sod having been turned' on Friday last. Mr. J. C. Lee of Weston, an experienced_ man at this sort of work, has the con- tract. As it happened the engine was not going -when The News -Re- cord Balled around but we're going another day. Supt.

Fol- lowing the promenade from 8 to 8.30, in costume, masks were removed, and the crowds enjoyed a varied mus- ical entertainment, put on by the young people, Prominent were chor- uses by some of the boys, and also by a number of girls, everybody be- ing in costume. Mr. Bert Sloman playing the role of choir leader, taught the audience how to sing pop- ular choruses with "pep". A trio of clowns put on a comic skit on local celebrites, much to everybody's amusement. Miss Barry Combe' act- ed as pianist during the evening and Rev. C. Hallowell as chairman. \Tine passed so quickly that when the interesting program ended with a 8ontest, the .prize for which was a box of peanuts, everybody was ready for the satisfying supper which was served by the girls, dressed in appro- priate costumes. Much interest and mirth was provoked by the various costumes exhibited during the even- ing, but lack of space forbids a de- tailed description of these variegated garbs. The 'Girls' entertainment was closed by a vote . of thanks given them by the vestry, followed by the National Anthem, COMING TO, T I-EOPLE. HALLOWE'EN OVER AGAIN. ('Hallowe'en parties were the ruleon Monday evening and the young a. people, and some who are older, gave themselves 'up to 'the enjoyment of the hour. Many fancy or grotesque disguises were worn, some tricks were played and tuns -honoured true ditions of the day were observed, Aside from, the carrying off of the silent policeman from the corner and misplacing of a few steps or other portable articles, little damage was done. Hallowe'en seems now given over to social 'enjoyment, the indul- gence in social gatherings and in in- nocent and anruseng pranks: GOING BACK TO CLINTON. , Mr. S. B. Stothers, District Re- presentative, speaking about the short agricultural course to he given in Wingham this fall, said to The News - Record on Monday: "On November 28th we are opening in Wingham town hall two courses for young Wren and women. The young men's course Will be in agriculture and the ladies' course in Domestic Science, etc. Both Courses are to run three months. Huron is one of four counties to have the advantage of these schools this year—Huron, Middlesex, Peel and Wentworth. They are an enlargement or elaboration of our annual Courses which usually last one month. This is a new policy inaugurated by the Department of Agriculture this year and we are very anxious that the Courses be well supported. If the Courses are popular more of them may be put on next year and they may be made permanent. The Hon, M. W. Doherty, Minis- ter of Agriculture, will address a meeting in Wingham on Tuesday, No- vember 1,8th In the interest of the Courses, This meeting will be open to both ladies and gentlemen and oth- er speakers will be secured as well. The Hon, 111. W. Meierty is part?e- ularly noxious that these Courses be successful and foe, that reason is tak- ing a personal interest in them. The Courses are especially convenient to those in North Huron but student_ from any part of Haran, Bruce, Perth or Wellington will be welcome. No tuition foes will be charged in any case. Mr, John eoynt, nes P. P. is donat- ing One Hundred dollars to be spent in prize money for the Course. The Councils of the various townships surrounding Wingham are eontribut- ing prizes for boys ant girls fromm their respectiveactiva townships. 1 s With th Is support along with the supped: of the Women's Institute, the U. F, W. 0,, the Farmers' Clubs, the Agrieul. level Societies and others there is no doubt of the success of the Courses, Wingham town council is granting free housing, light and fuel, , This will be a particularly good on - peetunity for the young mnen anti women •.t`i' better fit themselves for their work. Literatures outlining the Courses will be issued shortly. This will be supplied to Anyone oappli- cation to our office, Mr. 'Alex. McIntyre, manager of the Wingham branch of the Clinton Knitting mdlls Limited returned to the head office on Monday afternoon to assist in the transfer of the Owen Sound branch of the plant to Clin- ton. The company is closing' up Its branchee and concentrating all its business at the head factory. Mr. McIntyre will return later to attend to the details in connecion with the closing up of the local branch, The community will be sorry to lose Mr. McIntyre, who during his stay here has proved himself a good citizen and a capable and energetic business man always ready to -do any- thing that aright promote the welfare of the town.--Wingham Times. A NEW INDUSTRY. Huron County is launching forth into another industry, this time the cultivation of silk trees. Some people may imagine that all silk comes from the silkworel, if so they are lab- oring under a mistake. Much of the silk of today is fibre silk and is made from the foliage of certain trees. Several farmer's in the surrounding townships have, we understand, planted out a number of these trees and will dispose of their product to a Hamilton firm. Amongst the far - mgrs who are making a venture it this new line of industry are Messrs. J. Schwantz, J. Middleton and P. Roweliffe. If this industry grows it may be that'the Clinton Knitting Go. will enlarge its, plant and begin the manufacture of silk stockings. LOOK OUT FOR THEM. The Farmers' Advocate in a re- cent issue tells how a number of far- mers have recently been swindled out of sonic good, hard cash by enm eth tongued thieves and liars passing themselves off as legitimate business amen. A camera man comes along and takes a liieture of the farm buildings and then comes to the farmer and ex- plains that the picture is wanted for an atlas which is being prepared and says that the picture when finished will be worth thirty or forty dollars but that if the owner will allow the use of the picture in the atlas men- tioned he may, if he chooses, purchase one of the pictures at a much smaller price. He is then asked to sign a doe. meet giving this permission. Later on another chap comes along with the picture, for which he demands fifteen or twenty dollars. If time far- mer lectin;' e to s paythe piece he is I confronted with a duly signed con- tract and to avoid litigation and trouble many a farmer has handed over the money. In some cases a frame bad also been -introduced into the contract at an added sum. This scheme seems to be pretty generally worked all over Ontario. We have heard of it from several sources and believe it has been successfully worked in Huron county. Farmers and others, would do' well to make short shrift of anyone who conies along asking for their signa- ture. Sign no document until it is handled, read and thoroughly under- stood., "BILLY'S" NIGHT OUT•. . When a dignified body like the Public school board elect to hold a meeting on Hallowe'en might some - timing is almost bound to happen, anti on Monday night it did, The members of the Model school board were sitting discussing ser- ious affairs of school management and finances and thing's like that, in the comfortable little board room, which was evolved out of nothing when the school building was renmod- elIetl a year ago, when suddenly they heard a strange noise in the corridor. One of the members opened the door to ascertain the cause and discovered -Mr, Carere's William Goat stalking about, dragging a chain. "Billy" charged and the door went shut with a bang. Now that may not have 'been the first time that a goat strutted through those sacred halls, but it really looked like a ser- ious problem to get rid of this par. Ocular one, Another glance out of the carefully opened cloor revealed the fact that "Billy" was Consoling himself in his solitude be chewing theleev s e of one of the members' et bei s cents and something had a be done. The huskiest member then volunteer- ed to go out anti try a bout with the intruder, which he did. "Billy" prov- ed himself a "thereat worthy of leis steel" told as he was getting his clothes "all mussed up" he erten quarter and quit. It was sonic lit- tle time before that pesky goat was finally ejected and the members of that board were free to return to the consideration of their busiitmes. Hallowe'en is really not a suitable night for the discussion of serious business, anyway, ,,e1ARRIED IN STRATFORDe i t in St, Paul's church, Stratford, last Wednesday evening at seven o'clock a pretty wedding was solem- nized, when Miss Rosetta Hey Bene. leg of Clinton, became the bride of Mr. Morgan Agnew, also of Clinton., The ceremony was performed by the Rev, S. A. Macdonell, and the wit- nesses were Mrs. Morgan Little of Los Angeles, Cal, and Mrs. H, C., Clark of Stratford, aunt and sister of the groom. The bride and greons were unattended, Mr. and Mrs., Agnew returuled to Clinton on Sat- urday and were • met at the station by a number of their friends, with congratulations and gnarl wishes. They are popular young people, especially, so in musical circles, and they have the good wishes of all for a happy future. A HALLOWE'EN SOCIAL, The League of, Wesley church had a very enjoyable Hallowe'en social on Monday evening. A short program, consisting of a:, piano solo by Miss Ferrol Higgitrr, ari historical sketch, gliving the origin of Hallowe'en, several vietrola selections a recitation by a little miss and a chorus by several larger ones, all in appropriate costume, was given in the school room. Then an adjourn- ment was made to the4tining hall be- Iow, where there was a grand par- ade of. .those. in costume, then a gen- eral unmasking and various games, followed by refreshments. Many o1' the costumes were fearful and won- derful creations, the decorations were appropriate to the season and time young people had a tlroroughi,y enjoyable time. Mr. Hellyar contri- buted greatly to the pleasure of the evening by his Vietr•ola musk. The sod:al was given under the direction of the social department, bliss Susie Powell being the convener. A silver collection was taken at tate door. LITTLE LOCALS. Monday, Thanksgiving Day, will be a public holiday. - Mrs. McMurray, wife of. Mayor. McMurray, has been quite ill during the past week.
