This concert wilt be given by the Great Lakes String Quartet, consisting of four young men who served in the American Navy during the war and who have since -b$fen doing concert work in various.cities of, the United 'States and Canada. The Girls' Aux- Mary exchanged another entertain- ment for this one, paying an extra $25 for it after the tickets .were sold; because they thought it would appeal to the music -loving people of Clin- ton and vicinity.,. We feel sure they will respond by turning out in large numbers' to enjoy this feast of .fine music. The Quartet is most highly it MAGISTRATE IN "HOLE", If a man werd brought before Magistrate Andrews who had been discovered locked. inside of a milkhouse on the prem- ises of `a neighbor after the family had retired for 'the night we do notW. know just what view hie/lordship would take of it, but probably the evidence produced would influence him. Anyway the genial Chief Mag istrate can hardly afford to be too se- vere as the himself was found, accord- ing to a story told The News -Record, in that rather compromising position not very many nights ago—his ne- phew being the captor. After retir- ing for the night recently Mr: F. W. Andrews thought he heard a call for help and he immediately got up and dressed and went to see what was the natter and found his uncle locked in his milkhouse. The daily supply of milk for the Andrews fent- fly had not been obtained on this par- titular evening and it being late the Cam volunteered to go over to "the faro]" for it. Going into the milk- house which he knew well, but with- out a light the door closed tightlyaf- ter him and he was unable, ithe dark; to undo it. There are those ' who have been unkind enough to laugh at the idea of a magistrate in so undignified •a position but we feel sure that had anyone had such a mss- hap it would be no laughing matter— until afterwards. A BUSY SEASON. Up to Saturday night last Mr. county's larg- David Cantelon, had shrived est apple dealer, had shipped this sea- son 20,000 barrels of apples, All .of these apples were bought pl within a radius of eighteen miles of Clinton and over 15,000 barrels were shipped from Clinton station, Mr: Cantelon would have been thankful for a few more weeks of fine weather, as there are still •in the orchards a good many barrels of choice fruit which he would have ]eked very much to get out. The sea- son was an ideal one., the fruit was of the finest quality and he found ready market for all he could handle but the difficulty of obtaining nine- tent barrels and of getting the fruit picked made lit impossible for him to handle them any snore quickly than he has done. He shipped on Satur- day from Clinton over one thousand, barrels to finish out,a boat load. Cot- siclerably more than half of the ap- pies shipped have been for export. About four thousand barrels wenn west and more, are to be shipped there, if refrigerator cars can be ob- tained, As might be expected Mn. Cantelon has paid out a lot of stoney, not only for apples, but barrels during the season. So far his barrels account totals up to $82,000 and he Inas paid nearly $400 in war tax on barrels alone: Mr. W. J. Simmons of God- cricin, who has been manufEletaring barrels in the old Waverley barns at the station, has ]trade hint Ayer 12,000, Indeed, that cooperage has been °a pretty busy spot since about midsuln- ]Wer, Some barrels were also shipped from Blytlh and other points, All this business has meant a very strenuous few months for Mr. Crnce- Ion. He has had a whole army of sten employed picking and packing, and has been up early and late attn. ding to the many things which had to be attended to, answering telephone calls, etc. And` his anxiety is not yet over, as unless the weather• mod- ' crates gradually and allows him to ship Out a few thousand bet't'ors more fruit the loss sustained will eat very seriously into his profits for the Season's operations. IIe Will .be a happy roan when the season is really over and Ice cats begun to breathe again. "And what about hogs?" , ueried 'Phe News„Reoorcl "have you given van np buying ]Hogs al. together?" "Oh, 110, ti at at all," was. the reply, "My hog business durin 1 y g the year' will be about l$300,OOD worth, I should say."

The `Clinton branch of • the Brtttsh and Foreign Bible Society held its aminal meeting in St. Paul's Sunday school room. on Monday evening, the speaker being the Rev. R.11. A. Haslam, who seventeen years in India as a missionary. The Young Peoples Societies o£ the churches withdrew their meetings for this evening to allow their members to hear the address f d a good- number took advantage Most people know something of the Bible Society and its work, take more or less interest in it 'and support it to some extent, otherwise the work it has been doing for over ono hundred years could not have )teen accent- plished, but as a rule people do not count very much on the address of the representative; which is usually too full of dry facts to interest the average person, necessary as it is that these same dry facts should be made known to the public. This address on Monday evening, however, was def- ferent". Mr. Haslam gave facts, facts for which he could vouch as they were, many of them, personal expel!. fences met with during his mission- sly term, but they were clothed so cleverly in interesting stories of actual happenings to actual men and women that the assimilation of them „was made easy and pleasant. Mr. Haslam made a strong appeal for support for the Bible Society in its great work, giving it as his belief that the teeth- togs of the Bible was the great hope for the world His personal exper- fences of the ower of the gospel to p g p transform the lives of men and worn- en in heathen lands were most eti- Those who were present were very much inspired.
