The Council 'met on Monday ev- em'Ig, all membere pre n t, Council- lore Nediger and Middleton conning in a little late,. • ComMunieations were reads from IL R. Sharp, asking fora grant off: fifty dollars for the Tloxttcultral So- u eiety, thirty of which would be paid back in hall rent, Proudfoot, Killoran and Cooke regarding 'a defective)' drain in front of. the Rands property and The Provincial Fire Commission- er re the appointment of Oct 9th as Fire Prevention Day and asking the co-operation of the council in making' the plan -effective. On motion of Reeve Miller and Councillor Johnson the request of Mr. Sharp was filed. When the mo- tion was made Councillor Wiltse said ho thought the matter should at least receive the consideration of the coun- cil, that the Horticultural Society comprised a. considerable number of citizens whose request should be giv-, en due consideration and that they had accomplished a good Ileal for the town for which they should be com- mended. 'He thought perhaps the plover and seconder of the motion plight state their reasons for turning down the request of the Society. Councillor Johnson said his reason was that as these requests for grants seethed to be corning in regularly it was his opinion, that there were other and better ways of spending the town's stoney; that the taxes were high enough already. Reeve Miller said his reason was that while the So- ciety had perhaps beautified some plots there were others which they had injured, one being that opposite his' own property, . where the good earth had been scraped off to build up some other plot. Councillors Wiltse and Nediger moved an amend- ment to the motion that the Society be given a grant equivalent to the rent of the hall for the two nights of the flower show bat on the yeas and nays being cie- nnanded only the mover and seconder voted yea and the motion was put and declared carried. On motion of Councillors Johnson and Nediger the communication of the Fire Commissioner was laid on the table. Councillor Johnson said on snaking the motion that Clinton. had been giving a good deal of at- tention for the past couple of years to the matter of fire prevention and that the fire loss here was smaller than for many years. He said also that the Fire Marshall had expressed himself as very Much `pleased with results in Clinton. Messrs. S. Kemp and W. H. Gould addressed the council in regard to a drain in the vicinity of the Piano Factory, complaining that always when it rained the water ran over the sidewalk making it unfit for use. "How long has this been going on?" asked Councillor Wiltse. "All sum- mer," replied Mr. Kemp, who thought some member of the council should have seen it and had it remedied. "Oh, it keeps us busy looking after the things that are complained of," re- marleecl Reeve; Miller, chairman . of the street committee. Councillor Nediger interjected the remark that "that was not the only place in town where the water overflowed the side- walk." The .matter was left to the street committee. s In his report regarding the streets Reeve Miller recommended that a light be paced en Wellington street between Orange and, Isaac streets and one in the'hollow oiliIsaac street be- tween Joseph and Dunlop streets. Al- so that the council pay half the ex- pense of putting in a drain on Huron street from the western corporation limit to the railroad,'wtnere an ex. tension of a drain is.being shade by Mr. Turner. The Rands drain was also left the street committee. to Councillors Langford and Nediger moved- that fifty per cent of the cost of the furnace be paid Messrs. Sut- ter & Perdue, "the furnace and pipes being on tite ground at the present time. After some discussion the mo- tion was changed, giving the mayor and clerk power to pay the whole hill as ,soon as the furnace is installed to the satisfaction of the property committee. On motion of Councillors Middle- ton and Nediger the date of the nrst Court of Revision was fixed' for Oct, 26th. The session was a short one, the business being put through with un- wonted dispatch, and the adjourn- ment came, shortly after. nine o'clock.

PA,,SSING OF A PIONEER CITIZEN Mr. Chas. Hovey, one of Clinton's best known citizens, and for many years one of the town's most active busniess men, passed away at his home on Wednesday evening last in his eightieth t Year. Mr Hovey, was born in Lockport, N, Y., and when he was about sev- en years of age his parents moved to Fingall, where hit father was a partner in a business for the manu- facture of agricultural implements and which a; little later began manu- facturing threshing machines exclus- ively, the firm being known as the Macpherson, Glasgow & Co. In 1861 a branch was started in Clinton and a year later Mr. Hovey, came here to assist in the management of it, In 1882 Mr. Glasgow died and the old firm was dissolved and a new one formed, under the firm name of Far- ren, MacPherson & Hovey. Mr. Farren only remained in the firms for a few years and it was continued after his retirement as MacPherson and Hovey and for many years under that name. After Mt'. Ma.cPhersoirs death Mr. Hovey continued the busi- ness until he sold•$ut to the Clinton Thresher Co,, a dozeh or so years ago, since which Mr. Hovey has lived retired. Mr. Hovey thus spent the greater portioi of his life in Clinton, He hits always taken a keen interest in public affairs, though naturally of a quiet, unassuming disposition, and was an all around good citizen, IIe was an Anglican in religion, being a member of St. Paul's church, and in politics a Liberal, ' He is survived by two sons, H. A, and J. E. of town and one sister, Mrs. Oreharcl of St. Thomas, who happened to bo visiting hove when hot bother (lied.

'The big Hospital Bazaar is to take place on the 29th. Keep the date in mind and plan not only to be present and assist by purchasing something, but also donate something to sell. The cause is a geed one. Mrs ,E) Walters of Tuckersnsith has purchased the house on Victoria street belonging to Mrs. H. Carter and which has been occupied for some months by Mr. and Mrs. E. Castle.

VERY KINDLY SAID. During the past couple of weeks we have received many renewals and several new subscriptions and, inci- dently, many expressions of apprec iaton and of commendation. The fol- lowing is front an old Goderich'town- ship boy who now occupies stn Im- portant Government position at Ot- tawa: "I enclose $2.00 subscription to the Record for next year. ,I am not sending this simply to get it In be- fore the 1st of October, bust am send- ing it because it is due. I think you are perfectly right in increasing your subscription to $2.00; the paper is well worth it, and judging from what we have to pay -tor other pa- pers, I do mot see how you have been able to put it out for as little money as you have.

Considering the very unfavorable weather tnel'e was good attendance a a of those in- vited and a pleasant evening was' spent: A MOTOR ACCIDENT. Clinton had what might have been a serious accident on Friday last when Mr. Norman. Honking of }Iul- lett upset his car the corner of Albert and Rattenbury streets, 'and he and his wife and baby were all more or less injured, though not seriously, it is. hoped. He was driv- ing along Albert street and on ap- proaching Rattenbury street he saw another car coming town and In 'or- der to avoid it he put on the brakes and turned his car too quickly with the result that it overturned. Mr. Hunkimg' had his back -wrenched somewhat, Mrs. Hunking's both ankles were injured and had to be attended by a doctor and the babe had a tootit knocked out., It was very fortunate that their injuries were no worse. "- Following. the accident Mr. Hunk- ing decided to dispose of his car, as his nerves have not yet become stea- dy since his return form overseas, and he believed that was really the cause, of the accident. YOUNG PEOPLE'S SUPPER. The young people' of St. Paul's church, under, the guidance and in- spiration of the Girls' Guild, gave a hot supper anti. entertainment In the school room on Monday evening. The supper was served from five to eight, a nice hot supper, with an ab- undance of good things to eat, and during these hours the young people were kept pretty busy serving those who came hungry and wanting to be fed. When all had been satisfied a pleasing program. was put on, the rector, the Rev. S. E. McKegney, pre- siding. Addresses were given by Messrs. J. Ransferd, C. G. Middleton, and C. D.

The ceremony was performed by Rev. R. J. McCormick. Inuned- iately after the wedding dinner was serried, the happy couple left by mo- tor for Clinton, taking the train there for Stratford, where they will re- side.
