Society .was somewhat unfortunate in the selection of a spring show day when last Thursday, April 811i, was chosen: The weather was more like what one would expect of that date in March. But, as has been remark- ed before, it takes more than unfav- orable weather to spoil the Clinton Spring Show. • There was a good exhibit of both horses and cattle, though no doubt the number would have been larger but for the unfavorable weather. Old exhibitors and new ones were both on hand and some important sales took place during the day. Many more people would have been in, just for the outing, had the day been as balmy and spring-like as one would naturally expect the eighth of April to bo. . The evening brought the banquet, which for four or five years has been a feature of the show. The spread was laid in the town hall and it was a very abundant and well -served one the Girls' Auxiliary and the Wom- en's Institute being the caterers. When the banquet had been thor- oughly enjoyed an extensive toast list was gone through, Dr. Shaw being toastmaster. "The Ring" brought everyone to his fent and re- sulted in the hearty singing of the national anthem; "Canada and The Empire" was proposed by Magis- trate Andrews and responded to by Mr. Thos„ McMillan. "The Pro- fessioiis" was proposed by Dr. Gunn and responded to by Rev. J. E. Hogg. "Agriculture" proposed by County Representative S. B. Stothers and responded to by Prof - Wade Toole of the 0. A. C., Guelph; "The Veterans" was proposed by the chairman- and responded to by Capt. (the Rev.) S. E. McKegney, M.C.; "Huron County Spring Show" proposed by the president, Mr. Herbert Coxand responded to by Mr. Janes Snell; "The Municipal- ities" proposed by Mr. Harriston Wiltse and 'responded to by Reeve Trewartha of Goderieh township and Reeve Miller of Clinton. "The Ladies" was the last toast and was proposed by the chairman, and elo- quently responded to by Capt. Mc- Kegney. Phelan's Orchestra sup- plied music at intervals during the evening. The attendance of agriculturists at the banquet was not nearly so large as the executive of the show would like to have seen present. Some of the farmers say that af- ter being in all afternoon they can- not wait over for the banquet but must get home to do their chores, A number of younger men went, home, did their evening work, or a part of it, and hurried back to be on hand for the banquet. It has been suggested that the banquet be •served earlier in future, starting promptly, at six o'clock, and that the speeches be fewer, thus en- suring the whole proceedings being over not later than nine o'clock. The banquet was at first inaugur- ated for the purpose of getting the townsmen and agriculurrists togeth- er. As it is turning out the towns- men make . up, by • far the largest number who attend and it is felt that the encs for which it was started is not being entirely accomplished. If any change could be brought abort which world make it easier for a larger number of farmers to at- tend it would be a good thing. In the cities when a distinguished vis- itor happens to be in town he is often invited to address a number of men at luncheon, Would it be possible to have the banquet at twelve o'clock and the speech by the special visitor immediately after? Of course there are entries to make, etc. and various matters to be at- tended to, but those interested night get in , earlier. Secretary McMurray says that those who attend one banquet are al- ways anxious to come again but he would like to see a lot more come.

ODDFELLOWS' AT-HOME. Lodge No. 83 I. 0. 0. F. gave an at-home in their lodge rooms on Tuesday evening which proved to be very enjoyable. The members and their wives and friends were invit- ed and a "large number responded to the invitation. Cards and other games were in- dulged in during the first part of the evening and afterwards a, short musical program was given, Mrs. McMurchie and Miss Hattie Greig and Messrs. Mitchell and Roberton sang a quartette and Mrs. J. A. Sutter played a violin solo, Miss M. Torrance acting as accompanist, and the Phelan Orchestra contributed several selections during the even- ing, Lunch was served at the close and a happy hour spent over that. Itis several years since the Odd - fellows entertained but those who attended Tuesday evening hope it will not be so long again. They ' make excellent hosts, ITS "SLICKING UP" TIME. A visitor in Clinton a few weeks - ago remarked that what most towns like Clinton needed was the expend- iture of a few thousand dollars in paint. A great many of ±310 build Inge in Clinton do need paint. Last season a number of property bolders on the front street brightened up by an application of the brush, ad- ding greatly to the appearance of that section, but there is still room for improvement.. "But paint is so high in price" exclaims everyone. Yes, it high, Wo ate taking that into consideration, But those who, can afford a bit of improvement in their property will find that it pays Nobody wants to live in a tumble- down old house and if you want to rent or soli it you have to put it in- to repair.
