Buying . a watch -an article that is to be handled, and looked
at, and depended upon, 'Scores of tirnes every day of your natural

personal effects.
Clothes are for a season or two only. hats become old and old-

Be wise, therefore, and save money, and save annoyance along

At •twelve o'clock yesterday at the
home of the bride's uncle and aunt,
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas 1ClcGartney,

rector of St. Paul's church.
The bride entered the Poole lean-

party took their places under an
arch of evergreens and flowers. Miss
Alice Corey was bridesmaid and Mt:

The bride was gowned in ivory
crepe-de-chene and silk with trim-
mings of seed pearls and carrled a
bouquet of asters and maiden hair
fern, while the bridesmaid wore
ivory silk trimmed with wool em-

AROUSING COMMENT.
Rev. S. E. McKegney has been
causing same commotion by his pub-
lic speaking this summer, his I2th
of July address in Goderich having
aroused a• good deal of continent, and
now a writer signing himself 'Julian'
devotes a page or more m "The
Statesman" of last week to an arti-
cle denouncing a speech made at
Brantford a short time ago. The
editor of "il'he Statesmen," Lindsay
Crawford, is not unknown to Mr.
McKegney, he having been at one
time a citizen of Belfast, Ireland,
Mr. McKegney's native city. "Jul-

YOUNG + MOTHER CALLED.
DEATH OF MRS. G. CANTELON.
Word was received in Clinton last
Thursday of the death of Mary Cook,
widow of, the ]ate George Cantelon,
at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
John Mulholland of Winnipeg.
The deceased was an old resident
of Clinton and only left here a
couple of years ago with her daugh-
ter and her family. She had been in
failing health for some montes and
the end was not unexpected. She
was a daughter ` of the late John
Cook of Goderich township and was
the Iast member of her family. One
daughter, Mrs. Mulholland, survives.
She was a member of Wesley church
and was a quiet home -loving woman
and was held in dsteem by those who
knew her best. The funeral took
place in Winnipeg on Friday.
HE IS NOT GOING.
•
Manager H. R. Sharp of the local
branch of the Mclson's Bank was
'notified a couple of weeks ago of
his promotion to°thcf°nmanagership of
the Morrisburg branch. As soon as
this became known Clinton citizens
generally were profuse in their ex-
pressions of regret. Some, however,
did more than merely express regret,
they got in touch with the head office,
Montreal, and laid the matter so
forcibly before them that the de-
cision to move Mr. Sharp was recon-
sidered and he is to remain. This, we
feel sure, will be received with plea-
sure by not only the citizens of Clin-
ton but also by the ,patrons of the
Molsons "throughout the whole vicin-
ity. But it is especially satisfactory
to Clinton because Mr. Sharp is a
thoroughly good, public-spirited citi-
zen and an asset to the town. He
is also"kind enough to say that the
reconsideration of his removal by the
Bark is pleasing to him as he likes
Clinton ad regretted having to sever
the friendships made while here.

THEI TOWN COUNCIL.
The town council met Tuesday
evening, Monday being a ' holiday.
All the, members were present ex-
cept'' Councillors Nediger and Lang-
ford.
Several communications were read
by the clerk. One was a wire from
the fuel controller asking how much
coal would be required for the pub -
lie buildings, hospital and public
utilities for the coining winter.
Mayor Cottle hacl answered this
wire, saying 300 tons of furnace coal
would be needed and 3.00 tons of
stove andtons 100' of nut.
A communication was read from
City Clerk Littlejohn of Toronto ask-
ing that the council pass a resolu-
tion asking the Dominion R.. R.
Board to postpone the hearing of
the Bell Telephone Co, who is asic-
ing,'for power to increase rates, and
the Bell Co. wrote wanting to put
its side before the council. The
communications were laid upon the
table.
Mr. W. Doherty wrote regarding
the use of some unused streets
adjacent to his property but no ac-
tion was taken.
The secretary of the Kiltie Band
wrote asking Tor a grant to assist
them in giving a series of monthly
concerts, On, notion of Councillors
Wiltse and Johnson, the council
granted the sum of $6.00 for each
concert.
The cemetery superintendent wrote
resigning his position and Chairman
McMurray of the cemetery commit-
tee explained that the supt. wanted
an increase of salary. lie said he
thought he would retain his position
if his salary were increased to $800.
He did not,- however, recommend
such an increase. Councillor Wiltse
thought the cemetery committee
ought to make some recommenda-
tion. He said it was necessary to
have somebody at the cemetery to
dig a grave if it was required.
Chairman McMurray then recom-
mended •that the cemetery Supt. be
given an increase of 38.00 per
month until the end of the year,
Feb. 15th, and after some discussion
this was clone. Councillor Wiltse
said he thought the supt. was taking
an unfair advantage of the council
and he hated to be "held up" inthis
way, but there seemed GO help as
labor was hard to procure and it
was a position which had to be
filled.
Reeve Miller said they . had re-
fused an increase to the old care-
taker and they ought to advertise,
but the general impression seemed
to..be that the natter should be
settled.
MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE.
While assisting in loading a car
of horses at the' station on Thursday
last, Mr. Fred Wallis, younger son
of Mr. and Mrs. C. '3. Wallis, was
kicked in the .chest by one of the
anirnals and was laid off for the clay.
For a time it was feared that his
injuries might be;rather serious but
we are glad to say he is almost quite
"his own mar" again and has re-
turned to school. He's to be con-
gratulated on his lucky escape.
LITTLE LOCALS.
Mr. George Jenkins has pur-
chased a lot on Huron street from
Mi. Onslow Crich,
Mr, J. J. McCaughey has pur-
chased the cottage on Huron street
now occupied by Mr. R. Jones.
Mr. Adam Scott started apple pack-
ing this week for Mr. Cantelon, this
being the twenty-second season he
has been thus employed.
The Collegiate opened for the fall
term on Tuesday. Only one change
on the Staff this term, Miss Linlclater
of Goderich' taking Mr. Nealon's
place.

The wedding took place at the
home of Mr. and Mks. Daviel Carter,
Westfield, at high noon on Wednes-
day last of their daughter Margaret
to Mr. Charles Lockwood. son of Mr.

The ceremony was performed •by
the Rev. A. E. Milison, pastor of
the Methodist church at Westfield,
and was witnessed by the relatives
and friends of the contracting par-
ties. The ceremony took place on
the verandah, which was decorated
with flowers, the bridal pair who
wore unattended, , taking their place
under an arch. The bride was mar-
ried in her suit of navy blue gaber-

YOUNG MAN DROWNED,•
The funeral of the late' Heber
Powell, son of Mr+ and Mrs. W. J.
Powell of Goderich, who was acci-
dentally drowned at Key Harbor,
took place in Gnoclerich on 'Wednes-
day of last week, and was the lar-
gest seen for a long time. _ The
young man was a dental student and
was working, on the steamer Gien-
orchy during the holiday season.
The stoamer• was unloading coal at
Key Harbor and the young man fell
into the water between the boat and
the wharf, It is supposed he struck
his head in falling as he was a good
swimmer but apparently made no
effort to save himself. The body
was recovered but all efforts to re-
store him were unavailing. He was
a graduate of the Goderich Collegiate
and was a great favorite among hit
associates. He had spent three
years in France with the Army Med-
ical Corps.

Mrs. 1t. A. Bell,
the natter stood and at the request
of the mayor the clerk explained
that the by-law under which the
Clinton Board of Health was work-
ing required that pigs be not kept
within thirty feet of a dwelling or
a street. This by-law was passed
in 1880. but the cleric explained that
on going over the statutes with the
town solicitol' it was found that a
statute was passed in 1884 malting
it unlawful to keep pigs within sev-
enty feet of a dwelling or street and
later the distance was increased to
one hundred feet. A town council
could, by submitting at amendment
for approval, have this dietetic°
shortened, but until such action was
taken the solicitor was of the opin-
ion that the statute would take pre-
cedence over the by-law. 'Councillor
Johnson and Reeve Miller moved
moved that the by-law be sent clown
for approval. •
Souncillor Wiltse thought the
town by-laws should be reviser. "No
by-law is of•lany use which conflicts
with a statute," he remarked, "and
the town snag be 'put to a good deal.
of trouble by neglecting to keen the
by-laws up-to-date." Reeve Miller
also thought the by-laws should be
gone over, but the matter was left
for the present,
