A very fine display of aurora bor- ealis and aurora australis, for some of the most wonderful displays were in the south, was witnessed by those fortunate enough to be abroad on Monday evening. The display began before eight o'clock and kept up until after ten, with constant changes and variations. At about ten o'clock all the southern part of the sky was enveloped in a beautiful, rose -hued vapor. Many agreed that it was the most wonderful display every witness- ed. Those who did not see it 'Hissed a fine spectacle. IN TWO WEEKS. Two weeks from today the Clinton Horse Show will take place. From present indications both weather and roads will be good this year and there should be nothing to prevent a record attendance. Seven hundred dollars are being given in prizes this season, which should make the show attractive to exhibitors. A special feature this year will be a special judging contest for young men. Clinton has always had a success- ful show, no ratter what the condi- tions, although some have been more successful than others and it is con- fidently expected that this year will be no exception. All roads will lead into Clinton on Thursday, April 8th. DEATH OF C. A. TEBBUTT, We made reference last week to the death of Charles A. Tebbutt, whteh took place at the residence of his brother on the old homestead in Goderich township early on Thurs- day morning. The deceased was born in Goderich township, being a son of the late F. W.' Tebbutt He was educated at the Holrnesville public school and Clinton Collegiate, after which he took his Normal training in Toronto and_ taughtht for several years in the out- lYing districts ,on the Base Line and in Goderich township. He was am- bitious to specialize, however, and took a thorough course in manuel training at Guelph and afterwards taught very successfully in Fort William. When the war was on and the soldiers began to return and the Government was forming voca- tional training schools for them Mr. Tebbutt offered his services as in- structor and was for some time on the staff of a Vocational training school at Ottawa.+ Not being in the most robust health this work be- came in time too heavy for him. and KEEP YOUR NAME "UP". Up around Dturbam a rural mail courier fell ill and a stranger was at- tending to his route but owing to the fact that a number of the rural boxes had no names many, people had to go without their mail for days :at a time. Served them right, too, No man shouldexpect Isis mail delivered reg- ularly who fails to keep his name plainly marked on bis box. It makes driving through the country very much moreinteresting also, to: the or- dinary individual who only, drives put occasionally to be able to see for himself just who lives on that fine farm, or in that cosy house or who owns that magnificent orchard. Just before the spring work begins to drive the fanner should see that Isis name is plainly painted on his mail box. It pays to keep your name before the 'public, gentlemen. AGAIN AT IT. The Girls' Auxiliary is again tak- ing an interest in the Horticultural Society's work and on Tuesday next start their yearly drive for mem- bership. A premium list will be left at the homes and the young ladies would like the premiums selected by the time they call. The list will be found on another page of this issue. On Friday evening a public meet- ing will be held in the council chamber when addresses will be given on hor- ticultural subjects, illustrated by moving pictures. No admission fee will be charged and everybody will be welcome. The Horticultural Society has been doing some very good work in Clin- ton during the past year or'two,in- deed, for many years, and some ex- tensive plans are now in contempla- tion. 'Those who are giving their time and energies to the work deserve en- couragement, PASSING OF MRS. J. KERR. After a little over a week's illness Mrs. Jarn'es. Kerr • of Victoria street passed away on Monday evening. Mrs. Kerr, whose maiden name was Elizabeth Moore, was a native of England, being born at Alford, Lin- colnshire, eighty-six years ago. She came to Canada with her people when quite a young girl and has lived in Hullett and Clinton ever since. Be- fore her marriage she taught school for some years. On her marriage she carne to live in' Clinton, which was but a cross roads then. She was the last member of her fancily. Her husband died eight years ago. She is survived by one son and three daughters, Mrs. (Dr.) A. Taylor, Goderich; Mrs. S. Booth, Brandon, Man., and Bert and Mabel at home. Although brought up in the Ang- lican Church Mrs. Kerr early united with the Methodist Church; there be- ing no branch of her own Church con- venient, and throughout her long life continued to be a consistent member, She was a woman of singularly sweetand gracious qualities, one whom to know was to love. Not only her own family, but many, many friends will miss her kindly presence and her quiet, gentle influence will not soon pass away. The- world is - indeed, thericherfor f r her life.

The new directories issued by the Bell Telephone Company are gotten out on a new plan, which when we become used to, ought to be an im- provement. Ail the names on the Clinton list and all the rural lines- conecting• at this central are arranged alphabetically and all you need to know when you want Is number is the name of the subscriber. It does not matter whether John Jones rs on the Goderich township, Tuckersmith or McKillop system or whether he's your town grocer, you'll find ]ring among the Joneses. The Bell Co. is doing its share to bring town and country together. YOUR INCOME TAX RETURN. We call the atten- tion of our readers to an advertisement which appeared in our last issue regarding Income Tax Returns. All persons liableunder Class 1; including trustees, ex- ecutors, administrators agents, assignees, employers making returns of names and amounts paid to all di- rectors, officials, etc. and large corp- orations, must make returns before March 31st. Others have until April 30th to make returns. As the penalty is rather heavy for non-com- pliance this matter should be attended to without delay_. Whether you are liable for tax or not the return must be made. Another advertisement will appear later which will affect the majority of people. Watch for it. THREE RECTORS IN 50 YEARS.
