Mrs. Martin was the youngest of a family .of ten and this is the first .break- in the family. NEWS FROM SOUTH. Word has been received from Mr. and Mrs. W. T. O'Neil, tvino are 01 Florida, that they have not been very Well since going down. Mrs. O'Neil was in rather poor health for a time after her arrival, the change in climate probably accounting for it, but is better again. The temper- ature took a sudden drop from around 35 to GO, which is considered very cold and this has had a bad a1 - 'feet on Mr. O'Neil but he was rally- ing again and as the weather is now warmer it is hoped he will continue to improve. NEW PRINCIPAL NO STRANGER. The Model school board has ac- cepted the application of Mr. A. F, Johns as principal for the coming temp and the secretary of the board yesterday received word that he will come. Mr, Johns is no stranger in Clinton, being a member of a well-known Tuckersmith 'town- ship family, and is a graduate of the Clinton Collegiate. He has had a dozen or more years' experience as a teacher and for some time has been teaching in the vicinity of Toronto and living in the city. Mr, Johns is married and has two children. Clin- ton will welcome then as citizens, SEVERE LOSS BY FIRE, Early on Saturdity scorning at Seaforth fire broke out in a barn be- longing to Mr. A. P. Joynt but leased by Messrs, Memel. .and Fee and stocked with flax, tow, hay, oats and some valuable stock, five work horses and one very valuable colt, all of which was totally destroyed, There was some insurance on the building and contents but is is estimated that the loss over and above the insur- ance :willamount to several thous- ands of dollars. The cause of the fire is unknown as there was no fire about the buildings. It will be re- membered that Mr, J. J. Merrier lost a valuable set of farm buildings some few years ago. His friends syinpathize very much with him in this latest loss, WORKING SMOOTHLY HERE, Mr. H. Wiltse, the officer appoin- ted under the neve. Adolescent Act; to look after children and youths un- der sixteen and See that they are in attendance at school, says that he has had on trouble in Clinton in en- forcing the Act. No complaint has ae. yet 'been received from either Public or High school principal and although a half dozen or more chil- dren who are under sixteen are, not going to school' they are all at work”) and have not been ' disturbed, In places of larger population these would be .obliged to attend night school, and probably should be doing so but as there is no night school here and it is not compulsory to pro- vide such they are not receiving any benefit from the Act, SECOND DEATH IN FORTNIGHT, Clinton citizens were shocked to learn on Monday evening of the death of Mrs, D. W. L. Cantelon, which sad event took place at the home of Mrs. Peter Cantelon about six -thirty that evening. The late Mrs. Cantelon, whose maiden' sante was Mary Ward, was born at Eden Grove, where she spent her childhood. Later she resided to Toronto, and there it was that she and her now sorrowing husband met. Three little ones also renatin, Ray- mond, Isabel and Ross. Another child died a couple of years ago. Mrs, Cantelon had been in poor health for the past year -or more but her sudden taking off was a shock to all her friends, A half brother re- sides in Edmonton and a half sister at Tofiold, Alberta. Three aunts are resident in Toronto, Mrs, Hall, Mrs. Caruthers and Mrs. Sandford, What makes this death the more sad is the fact that ,iuid' exactly two weeks be- fore, to the day and almost to the hour, her father-in-law, the late Pet_ or Cantelon, passed away in the saute house. Surely the :family is having its share of sorrow,. The funeral, which was private, took place yesterday aftelreemi, the services being conducted by the .ltev. D. N. McCanius, niesieted by the Rev.

Christmas and New Year's Day falling on .Sunday this year it is probable that the following. Monday in each case will be obesrved as the holiday. In a number of cases, as in Clinton, nominations for municipal candidate's have been fixed for Dec. -26th and election day Inc Jan. 2nd, In such cases the nominations are likely to be slimly attended as Christ_ rias is the 'one great holiday of the Year and few wish to be separated' from their families on that clay in order to attend public meetings. MONDAY'S CONCERT. • The third entertainment in the Ly- ceum course was given in the town hall on Monday .evening, The Patric- ia Trio of .Chicago being the enter- tainers. The company put on a good program -of solos, duets, trios, read- ings, etc, Miss Patriots Gilmore, the leader of the company, has a fine so- prano voice which delighted the au- dience and she was well supported .by the baritone. Miss Mongolis, the reader and harpist, was pleasing and entertaining but she did}got give en- ough harn music to suit most tastes. In the latter part of the. program the performers were dressed in old- fashioned costumes, fife 'ladies in hoop -skirts and flounces, the gentle- man -in knee breeches, and flounces, also,. at his wrists. It was altogeth- er in very pleasing concert The next ,one in the series is on Jan, 27th. THE COUNTY COUNCIL, _ The Huron County Council meet- ing, held in Goderich last week, proved to be a very quiet session. The request of the Trustees' and Ratepayers' Association for a grant was turned down by the executive committee. An up-to-date report of the financial standing of the county and the Good Roads System is to be mailed to each reeve before nomina- tion dry, By all accounts there will be quite a scramble for the 1922 wnrdenship, there being noticeable indications of it already. If re-elected there will be four candidates for the office: Dr, Clerk of Goderich; A. E. Erwin of Bayfield; N. W. Trewartha of God- erich township and Jos. Hackett of Ashfield. Tho older members of the council semi to think the final vote will be between Reeves Erwin and Tiowa.rtha. The 1022 council will be sure\ to have a number of new faces at the board as Colborne, West Wa- wanosh, Ilowick and Brussels reeves, it is understood, intend retiring. THE RESULT A PUZZLE.
