YOUR SERVANTS FOR 1920.
The municipal -elections are over
for another year. ' Mofhdey was a
fine day, cold enough but clear and
fine, and a • fairly good vote was
polled: Although out oT nearly 1000
voters only:543 were cast for mayor
and 548 for reeve:
The council for the current year
will consist of:
Mayor: Thos, Cottle
Reeve: R. J. Miller.
Councillors: C. G: --Middleton, H.
Wiltse, A. J. McMurray, W. J.
Nedigat', J. E. Johnson and Bert
Langford.
Mr. Cottle won out over Mayor
Cooper' by thirty-one votes, and takes
This place irr.the mayor's chair, the
]highest office in the gift of the citi-
zens without having bad any pre-
vious experience in municipal work
other than one year as a councillor
several years ago. We believe
that had the ratepayers taken into
consideration the qualifications of
experience and a thorough acquaint-
ance with nluincipal affairs they
would have returned Mayor Cooper
for a second term. They did not do
so, however, and the will of the
people must prevail,
Mr. Miller also won out this 'year
for reeve, though• his majority over
Reeve Ford was but two. Mr. Ford's
friends, while not questioning Mr,
Miller's fitness for the position, re=
gret that he was pot' returned ,as
lie would doubtless have been elected
warden, at the coming session of the
county council, an honour which
would have reflected upon the town
from which he came. This was one
of his reasons for wishing to be el-
ected this year but Mr. Miller is a
public spirited citizen and his friends
rallied t6' his suport.
On .nomination night Mr. Middle-
ton said that this was "farmer's clay"
and he must have been convinced of
it when the vote Was counted on Mon-
day night and he was found to have
headed the polis. -
Mr. Wiltse is an old campaigner
who was wont to come in first himself
and he came in a close second, Mr.
Wiltse is considered a safe councillor.
All he has to do is to announce the
fact that he is a candidate and he is
sure of election. It is well that he is
again at the council board, ,
A. J. McMurray was finance man
last year and gave a good account -of
himself throughout the year. He
doesn't do a great deal of talking but
when he speaks it is usually .to the
point. With a few years experience
he promises to make a first class
councillor.
W
J.i Nediger made a good run
and will bring energy and vim to the
board. He occupied a place on the
board two or three years ago.
3. E. Johnson did good work on
the fire and water committee last
year and all throughtheyear he took
a keen interest in civic affairs: His
brother councillors never know just
what "Riley" is going to say when he
gets upon his feet. His name was at-
tached to a great many of the mo-
tions put through during the past
year. -
Bert Langford is another Member
of last year's. council who was- re-
turned. He tied with Mr, Hawkins
and the Returning Officer had to give
the casting vote. Mr. Langford
takes an interest in all affairs com-
ing before the council, is seldom ab-
sent from a.nteeting and is an advo-
cate of sane, sensible, legislation.
Messrs, McMurray, Langford and
Johnson are the only three members
of the 1920 council board who sat at
the . board during- 1919, Reeve -elect
Miller and Messrs. Wiltse and Ned-
iger were all members of the council
on former occasions. -
Mr, Cartel' polled a very good vote
but not sutiicieat to put himin with
the first six. Mr. I-Iawkins, who
was out of town for the nomination
and only returned` Saturday,just
missed being elected. Mr, Paxman
made an excellent run for the first
time and Mn: Itetnp dol very well,
also, for a new man, Mr, McEwen,
who Was a member of the 1919 coun-
cil, would not alio*" his nacre to go
up lit nomination, having decided to
drop out .fog this year° at least, and
Mr, .Paisley, though nominated, re-

WEDDED NEW YEAR'S EVE.
The home of Mr, anti 'tIrb T
Cole was the scene of ni very quiet
wedding on Wednesday ok last week,
Dee. 31st, when their Seco d daughter
Annie Henriette, (Ettie)i was mar=
ried to Mr. Henry Glew,' son of the
late Matthais Glew and of Mrs, Glew
of Hallett:
The bride wore a.very petty frock
of cream satin with tr nrmings of
georgette 'and looked very dainty and
charming, The ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev. S. Anderson.
At the conclusion of the ceremony
and when the newly wedded pair had
received the congratulations ox those
present, the wedding feast was par-
taken of, Mr, and Mrs, Glew-took
the evening train to Goclerieh, where
they spent a few days before going
to their hone in Hulled. The bride
donned for her journey a suit of navy
blue gabardine with hat to thatch
and a beautiful set of fox furs, the
gift of her brothers.
The bride was the recipient of many
lovely gifts.
The young couple have the best
wishes of a large circle•' of friends
for a happy acid prosperous journey
through life together.
`THE NEW .MINISTER"'
Will be given inthetown hall Clin-
ton by the Girl's Auxiliary on An.
22nd and,23rd.
The play is a humorous eulogy of
an old fashioned church choosing a
new minister for their pulpit. Now
when everyone in the church knows
for a positive fact that they know
'best the kind of a man that Would
suit and their ideas are cis far apart
as the poles you can imagine the job
that is ahead of the Musi i Committee
who have the final say.
In their own estinlatigqn they are
four real Solomans for 1. isdom, per-
fectly reliable Wren who seem to think
more of how wise they are than the
job they have on hand. ; But finally
they cio choose a man and be is found,
to be young and unmarried, "when"
consternation reigns- in the old
maids' sewing circle, who are avowed
man-haters. Resignations are in
order -at once and primping irons in
demand.
This production promises to be
very entertaining judging from its
reception in other towns and in near-
ly -every place a third.perfor'mance
has been given to satisfy the demand
for seats.
The play is complete in production
each night and is a clean, jovial,
laughing comedy, with a story told
in song and speech. The fun starts
when the curtain goes up and ends
when -it goes down on the last act.
Come and enjoy yourself. . You.,
will be sorry if you don't. Our
local people are working hard to get
this ready -and we do not boast when
we say that Clinton has A 1 talent.
FUNERAL OF E. A. PATTISON.
The funeral of the late Edgar A,
Pattison took place from the home
of his parents, Mr, and Mrs. A. 0.
Pattison, Victoria street, on Sunday
afternoon. The service at the house,
conducted by the Rev. D. N. McCam-
us and the Rev. T. J. Snowdon, was
a private one, but afterwards the
Oddfellows of Brumfield, of which
lodge the deceased was a member, and
of Clinton, and the G. W. • V. A.
gathered at the house and marched
to the cemetery, headed by the 161st
band in uniform. Almost every -one
of the returned men resident in town
were present and together with the
Oddfelows, they made a large pro-
cession, Full military honours were
paiii the remains of the deceased
young soldier.
Edgar Pattison was born in. Clinton
and spent practically all his Iife here.
Prior to enlisting' with the 71st bat-
talion he -had been G. T. R. agent
at Brucefield for a few years and on
his goi>,g overseas his wife, former-
ly Miss Marjorie . Manning, and her
two little sons, calve back to Clinton
to reside. It is a little over a year
since he returned from overseas and
though he had been very ill for some
time in England, suffering' from
wounds and gas after eighteen months
spent in the trenches in France, he
seemed to be fairly well until -lie had
to undergo -an operation in the spring
and he never seemed to regain
`strength. - Six weeks before his
death he left Clinton, accompanied
by his wife and his' father, for Wick-.
enburg, Arizona, in the hope that
the change to the warmer climate
would .benefit him He - stood the
journey well and seemed to enjoy
the warmth and sunshine of the mild
of clime getting out almost every clay
and leaking friends in . his old and
Cheery way. His failing strength
game 5o gradually as to be almost
inprceeptible, The end. came very
oalntly and peacefully on Dec. 29th.
The body was immediately brought
house, arriving Saturday evening,
He made a gallont fight for his life
and his passing is deeply regretted
by the whole town and countryside,
To the bereaved ,parents, young wife
and two little sorts the sincere
sy
m-
ranty of the community goes mit,
This is the third of our young nen
who braved and escaped the onslaught
of the enemy on the, battlefield only
to fall, as 'surely as though iii battle,
a victim of the great war. • Within
the past fete Weeks Clinton has laid
away three e4 her brave soldier soils,

TOADS NOT AFRAID 03' COLD,

Mr. Fred Livermore, nightwatclt-
ratan at the Doherty Pianos, who is
evidently an observant man and one
who notices the habits of the lower
orders of creation, informs- us that
on Dec, 30th - the toads were stillhopping about, not having gone to
sleep for the Winter. He doesn't
venture to predict anything from this
unusual activity on the Bart of rho

A BAD FIRE,
Fire almost completely de-
stroyed the dwelling of
Mr. A. Maguire on Tues-
day evening between seven and eight
o'clock. The fire is supposed ton have
originated from an overheated pipe
and hacl gainer] quite a headway be-
fore being .discovered. Some delay
was caused in getting the fire brigade
to the spot owing to the fact that it
was thought to be Mrs. McGuire's
house on James street that was on
fire. The hose reel, too, being on
wheels, Oid not nnike its best speed
through the deep snow, but when the
brigade got on the spot no time was
lost and the fire was
speedily got under control.
Most of the contents of the
house were got out. Unfortunately
no insurance was curried. llIr. Ma-
guire was away from home at the
time, being on his weekly trip. He
vvas located at Paisley and returned
home Wednesday forenoon. The
family have not yet taken a house and
they are somewhat undecided as to
whether or not they shall locate in
Stratford, where two or three mem-
bers of the family are employed.
